It always makes me laugh when the producers send away the character and he/she is replaced with a new actor. You can bet your life they will be in some kind of trouble/love triangle or even both.

Robert Sugden never used to say a word and they changed his character and one of the first things he did was be involved in the hit and run of his teacher (albeit he was not driving).

Sarah Lou, fell pregnant.

Tracey, Rosie, Sophie im sure there are others as well!!!!

It's always annoying when they replace characters with different ones but it always has benefits I suppose lol (e.g. Kate Ford who plays Tracey is a brillaint actress). I also hate it when they change a chracters personality like Sonia's (EE) for example, she has a different personality every week and also when Vicky was in EE she also had a different personality for everyday of the week and she also went from sounding American to sounding English after a month.

I think Home and Away are the worst culprits for it. Pippa, Flynn, and Hayley all changed characters and personalities and everything.
"ooh flynn you've had your hair cut!"

Dont forget nick tilsley changed characters too in corry And claire did on hollyoaks.

Clare from Hollyoaks changed sooooo much!!!!

When she was played by the one with long hair, she was one of my fave's, but now Gemma Bissix (sp?) has made her into a total b!tch, though I don't think the other one could have played 'evil' well.

P.S. Anyone know why they changed actresses?

The exec producer thought the old one was a rubbish actress.

Pippa changed for the better IMO, laughed at new Flynn when he started, Ailsa was back in Alf's mind and she asked 'who's he?' Alf replied..'it's Flynn' and she just laughed and said 'no it's not'

re-casting Hayley is the biggest mistake ever

The second Hayley was a fantastic actress; 1000 times better than Bec Cartwright.

They have really changed Stacey Slater's character in Eastenders

When she first joined she played the part of an absolute bitch, blackmailing Spencer Moon, horrible to people, e.tc...

Now she works on a clothes stall and chats to everyone!!

One of the biggest character changes was Billy Mitchell he came in as Jamie's guardian who use to beat him and verbally abuse him, everyone hated him, then he seemed to change into this nice person after he met a bloke from his old childrens home!
