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 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.

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!!

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.

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.

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
