Foreign Actors and Languages in Soaps?
Does anybody know any foreign actors in any of the soaps?
Also, if a foreign character comes in, they always seem to speak to their family in English, not their native language (i.e. the Ferreiras, di Marcos). Can and of you re-call foreign languages being spoken in soap? Leon. |

The Ferreiras and the di Marcos sounded pretty English to me.

Neighbours' Lil says the odd Serbian word every now and again.Sunset Beach regularly had it's Latin-American characters arguing in Spanish. This was mainly between Carmen and Gabi. And the Chang's (Rae's parents) mostly talked to one another in Chinese (I think.) |

Eldorado (may it RIP) had many foreign actors in. For the first few episodes these actors/characters spoke in their native languages (Danish, Spanish) but this idea was dropped and they all started speaking English so we'd all understand.

I know James Alexandrou is half Cypriot (and also is Cliff Parisi (who plays 'EE's' 'Minty'), because he looks Greek/Cypriot, has a foreign surname and also it has been stated that he speaks Greek?).
What about any characters in the main soaps (i.e. 'EE', 'Corrie', 'Emmerdale' etc.)? Did the di Marcos always talk in English (even with the grandparents (including the grandparents to each other?)?)? Also, did Rosa speak with an Italian accent (I can't remember)? Leon. |
