Do you know anyone in real life who is just like a soap character?

I have a neighbour on the estate opposite who looks and speaks very much like Alan Turner who used to be in Emmerdale. His name is Bob.

Have you ever known someone who reminds you of a person from 'soapland'?

I don't know anyone but I did meet a Minty lookalike on holiday in Malta one time. The resemblance was uncanny! Lol

Also, many years ago (about 15) there was a lady in the Tesco Cafe who reminded me a lot of Charity Dingle. I don't think she was a prostitute though!

My ex's sister was just like Tracey Barlow, looks and personality wise. When me and my ex broke up she threatened to blow my apartment up because she was convinced I had been cheating on her brother, when actually the opposite was happening. Soon afterwards she moved to Russia with her new boyfriend (thank god) so she stopped tormenting me.

I have a relative who is like a combination of soap characters
She plays the victim like Maxine in HO
Plots against people like Sienna in HO
Manipulates and is sly like Emma in ED

She just generally isn't a nice person and a fantasist too which is why I steer clear as much as possible. The thing is there have been several times she has tried to play out soap storylines or scenes in real life.

Funny that, never thought of Gail as having a big nose. I suppose it is in proportion to the rest of her face.

However, my best friend at school, who is no longer with us unfortunately, looked very much like Gail when she was younger. My friend was also small, fair and had three children. Lived in Manchester too!

Unfortunately no. How I wish my Costa Barista resembled Paul Robinson

'Sigh'
