It always makes me think about what goes on on set of soaps when theres characters that are played by actors in soaps that have been in other shows together. For instance, Mike Swan and Jonny Allan - both actors were in The Bill for a long time together played Jim Carver and Don Beech. And at the moment, there Tanya and May - Jo Joyner played Beth in No Angels and Amanda Drew played a doctor in it for one episode.
There are loads more..........

Every actor there's ever been has been in The Bill! You only have to read the biographies in the back of programmes from West End shows to see it!

Jamie Lomas (Warren Fox - Hollyoaks) and Charley Webb (Debbie Dingle - Emmerdale) and Danny Webb (Aaron Livesy - Emmerdale) are all brothers and sisters.

So, Warren is Debbie Dingles's real life brother?

Gemma Bissix and Devon Anderson (Clare Cunningham and Sonny Valentine in Hollyoaks) were both in EE (as Clare Tyler - Nigel Bates stepdaughter and Sonia Jackson's brother Billy)

Julie Buckfield played Julie Matthews who jilted Nick Pickard's character Tony Hutchinson in Hollyoaks and her twin Clare played John Pickard's sister in Two Point Four Children.
