Who was it?
Were they nice?

I've never met a soap actor but if I could pick one to meet it would be Paula Lane not only did she play my favourite character but she comes across as super nice

Met Leanne and Peter Barlow once in leeds when Peter was in a play. Both lovely people, had a chat outside with Peter.

Met a few of the Emmerdale cast including Nicola Wheeler and Natalie Anderson as well as the person who plays Kerry at a Charity fun day in Doncaster

My son worked with Danny Dyer, when he had photos done for the book of his that came out last year. Danny was lovely, friendly and did what they wanted him to do without a fuss.

I met Patrick Mower (Rodney in Emmerdale) about 10 years ago in my local Tesco. He was in front of me in the queue and gave me his clubcard points as he didn't have his clubcard with him. Very lovely and didn't mind giving my mother his autograph.

Have also met
Chris Chittell (Eric Pollard)
Ian Kelsey (Dave Glover, Howard Bellamy, Vinnie in CS)

I've had the fortune to meet plenty of H&A actors when they have filmed on location at Palm Beach. Lynne McGranger (Irene Roberts) was the nicest out of all them. One who has gone on to have a career in Hollywood was very rude and even back then had a "Don't you know who i am" attitude about them.

I met Patrick Mower (Rodney in Emmerdale) about 20 years or so ago, long before he came into Emmerdale. He was in a play I went to see and there was an after show buffet for members of that theatre's Theatre Club. I was a committee member of the Theatre Club and met him at the after show buffet. He was lovely, very chatty, quite the charmer

I saw Sid Owen shopping in Brighton. I was surprised by how short he was.

My dad met Babs Windsor once when she holidayed in our hometown for her 40th, he served her her birthday cake, apparently she was very lovely and a pleasure to meet. Meanwhile I know someone who worked in panto with an EE actor who was very demanding and rude, with an air of importance about them.

My cousin met and had a picture taken with Pippa Black in a nightclub in Melbourne shortly after she had left Neighbours.

My sister met Alan Halsall (Tyrone in Corrie) in Sainsbury's in Manchester about a year or so ago and had her picture taken with him.

I went to the Hollyoaks set a couple of years ago and met a few of the actors, most notably Alex Fletcher (Diane O'Connor) and Jeremy Sheffield (Patrick Blake).

I was standing behind David Essex in a supermarket queue and he turned round and asked me for directions. I hadn't clicked it was him before then because of his short grey hair, but he was so lovely and chatty, and those eyes...!

Was friends with Julie Fernandez who played Nessa in Elderado.

As it is classed as a soap in here, have met Derek Thompson, who plays Charlie Fairhead, in our local when the show was based in Bristol.

Also have met Stefan Dennis

Met Emmet Scanlon who played Brendan in Hollyoaks. He was simply lovely.

I also met Chris Fountain while he was in corrie. He was nice aswell.

Well, to be fair, he does usually only appear in about 6/7 episodes a year

My all time favourite singer I met him at a book signing years ago, he was so lovely. I took my camera and we were allowed to take photos so the friend I was with took a photo of me and him
