Following on from my Diane Sugden as T-Bag thread, are there any other soap stars who were in something that people have forgotten about?

I am SO glad you posted this. Don't ask why but I've got a picture of Worzel with two Aunt Sally's on my computer. One of them is Una Stubbs and I KNEW I recognised the other one!!!

I remember Zoe Slater EE turning up as a witch in The Worst Witch. Also the girl who plays Nancy Hayton in Hollyoaks played a witch in it.

Audrey Roberts from Corrie as Nadia Popov in Rentaghost.

I've just remembered that Sheree Murphy (Trisha from Emmerdale) played a mugger in the episode of Only Fools and Horses where they dressed up as Batman and Robin

AND....


Rosie Miller played Trigger's niece and was the one who got Del Boy hand gliding!!!

She was also in The Wicker Man as the mudered girl

Anyone remember Emma Bunton as a mugger in Eastenders... and I also (completely unrelated) remeber Robbie Williams being on the phone in the Vic at one point...

...and (sorry to take over the thread momentarily... these just keep coming to me) Jarvis from Emmerdale, Les from Corrie and Eileen from Corrie were all in the first series of Band Of Gold! Jarvis playing a chicken killer who has a fetish for rubber gloves!!

Andree Bearnard (Liz Burton in Hollyoaks) played a barmaid for a few episodes in Only Fools and Horses. You wouldnt believe its her!

I remember Jarvis in Band of Gold, did he wear stockings in that?
Don't remember Eileen and Les in it though.

Patrick Mower in a cop show with George Sewell, looked old even then.

A few I remember are:
Pam St Clement (PAT) was in emmerdale as was Ros Kemp (Grant), Jane Danson (Leanne) was in Children's Ward, Brian Capron (Richard Hillman) was in Grange Hill and eastenders, Todd Carty obviously was also in Grange Hill and Jill Halfpenny was in Byker Grove.

Didn't Shane Richie do something or other before Stenders?

The new Ashworth Mum in Hollyoaks was Curly's girlfriend Kimberley in the Street a few years back.

Just remember another obvious one. Tom King was Billy Walker in Corrie

Shane Richie did that bloody BINGO show on ITV Lunchtimes - truly awful. But what do you expect?

Shobna Gulati in Dinnerladies... "Oooh, I said nipples!"

Steph from Emmerdale advertising Martini I think?

Tricia from Holby City as the Nescafe Gold Blend woman - the one where every tuned in for the ongoing advert story.

And just for the sake of it being absolutely hilarious. Adam Rickitt in Corrie being a pop star was a joke - although mmmm in the video for Breathe Again. And now he's on the Tory shortlist for standing in elections.

Ooooh. Remember the girl that cause all that trouble for Joe Wicks. She was in Simon and the Witch with Joan Sims. Now that was a great show.

*Thinks of more*

I remember when Shane Ritchie was on Opportunity Knocks and used to do his Snakebite the crap punk routine.

And Edna from Emmerdale was Rose in Keeping up Appearances.

If you mean Edna, then I think you're wrong, because the actress that played Rose died a few years ago, I'm sure
