Hi,

My Dad was on his bike (push-bike) years ago and the guy who plays Martin Platt (or Martin Pratt, which my dad calls him), knocked him off his Bike. While in his car.

The bloke who played Alex Gilroy lives in our Town and seen him a number of times in a cafe & supermarket and also he was in the next seat from me at 30,000 feet on our way back from malaga, a few months ago.

Thats About it...

Ive met a few Emmerdale stars, as I used to live near where it was filmed.

We used to do a 3 mile charity walk every year with my local pub, and the last year they did it Eric Pollard joined us, but he had to walk the 3 miles handcuffed to a poilce woman lol. He's really nice.

I also met Angela (can't remember last name) who played Fiona in Corrie. We was in Leeds and was standing outside HMV when she and her then BF came over. She waited outside while he went in. She was really rude.

I also met Dereck & Mavis from Corrie.

And the most recent one was when I was visiting family myself and my friend were walking back from the shop when this posh car pilled up, and the bloke asked for directions to the next village. I gave him the directions and he drove off.
I said to my friend that I recognised him from somewhere but couldn't place him.
She also said she knew him.
Then it clicked, at the time he was in Emmerdale, playing Emily's Dad.

The same friend also met Marlon Dingle in HMV in Leeds, well actually she was in a rush and more or less ran into him, she was so embaressed when she looked up (he's a tall guy, she's very short). She said he was really nice.

Can't think of anymore at the moment.

Liz Dawn (AKA. Vera Duckworth) has a house in the next village from where I used to live also. But I have yet to meet her.

I have seen a few...

Vera from Corrie has a grandson who was in my brother's year at primary school and she came to church for his first communion so I saw her there.

I met the first girl who played Beth in Hollyoaks in Megabowl and have seen Max from Hollyoakes loads of times in the rubbish club I used to go to in Bury when I was at sixth form college. Have also seen Candice and Fizz from Corrie at the same club(though quite what the appeal is i'm not sure - it's a total dive!)

Maxine from Corrie is often to be found in the bar of a little hotel I used to work in so have spotted her a few times.

My sister has served Gail Tilsley/Platt/Hilman/whatever in M+S, eaten lunch on a table next to Audrey and spotted Martin Platt in town too.

Unfortunatly I've never seen any. Highly unlikely too, judging by where I live.

I hate where I live.

Johnny Briggs (Mike Baldwin) when I was staying at an hotel in Manchester years ago.
Ruth Madoc (Hi De Hi) sort of a soap - used to live in same town as me. Used to see her almost daily coming out of the station.

I bumped into (well not literally unfortunately!) Trevor from Eastenders in the body shop in convent garden. I was choking on white musk and my friend screamed OH MY GOD! really loud right in front of him. I heard him speak though, very sexy! it was a slightly embarrassing experience though!

Loads of EE's 'stars' live round this way and I've seen the following.

Daniella Westbrook in Faces at Gants Hill

Ricky Butcher in Sainsburys, Ilford Lane

Todd Carty (Mark) and Nick Berry (Wicksy) at a West Ham charity do.

Leslie Grantham (Den) at Kings holiday camp, Canvey Island where we used to have a holiday home.(Also so Zammo from Grange Hill in the same place).

Patsy Palmer went to school with my mate (except she was called Julie Harris in those days).

Sonia in Upper Street

Dr Legg on the up escalator of Bond Street station.

My sister and her mates saw Roy from corrie in a bar in Manchester and when they went over to speak to him, his wife told them to f**k off and leave them alone

Really? I would be shocked if she said that to me. Fair enough, these start get fed up with fans eventually, but thats going way too far.

What a nasty bitch his wife must be then.

Back in about 1985/86 I saw the people that play, Curly Watts, Kevin Webster and Terry Duckworth in a niteclub in the middle of nowhere in N.Ireland. They had been shipped in to boost the numbers and of course this worked.

All I remember was Terry Duckworth and Kevin Webster getting really drunk and getting involved in a bust up., lol

Saw most of the more established male cast members of Emmerdale in a pub in Leeds last December.

The red-haired nanny from Brookside (the one who snogged Beth Jordache) used to come to a nightclub I used to work in. Poor lass used to spend the whole night being stared at by off-their-face loons.

I've mentioned these on another thread, so please forgive the repeat.
Met Corrie actors who play Gail, Tracy ( Dawn Acton), Derek and Mavis, Alf Roberts, and Denise (the former hairdresser. These were at the British Show which is an annual event in Toronto, Canada.
It must be fun to see them in pubs, bars etc. when they are just being themselves.
I've always wondered what Ricky from EE would be like - he plays the not-so-bright character so brilliantly!

I went on holiday last year with Bruno Langley aka Todd Grimshaw from Corronation street to Malia Crete we had a brilliant time and am still in regular contact with him.
I know there has been some discussion on here about his upcoming story lines about being gay but i can 100% confirm he is straight as they come in real life actually last we spoke i was telling him about the discussion about him and we had a real good laugh about it.
Also few weeks ago i sat next to the guy who played derek Conway from the Bill on the way to Jersey.

Bill Tarmey (Jack Duckworth) used to sing Jazz in my local on a Wednesday night - he might still do but I don't go in on a Wednesday anymore.

Tracy Barlow (Dawn Acton) used to live on my parents road.

Seen Des Barnes (Phil Middlemiss), Martin Platt (Sean Wilson) at Old trafford a few times.

Raquel Watts (Sarah Lancashire) regularly at a petrol station in front of Park Cake Bakeries on Ashton Road (It's not there now).

Seen loads of other Corrie stars ourt and about in Manchester.

I suppose it all depends on where you live, in sync with where soaps are filmed.
From reading the above posts, with the odd exception, people that live in East London, have spotted EE stars, those living in Greater Manchester / Lancs, have regularly spotted Corrie stars, and those living nr Leeds, Yorks, etc, have spotted Emmerdale actors.

I don't live near anywhere near where the soaps are filmed, hence the reason why i don't see Kat / Marlon / Curly, when i pop to the shop!!

What a coincidence! I saw Zara from Hollyoaks in a club in Malia when I went there with my friends a few years ago! Obviously it must be the new holiday hotspot of the stars!

I used to work in a garden centre near Maidenhead.
We used to have Jimmy Corkhill from Brookside quite regularly. Bernice from Emmerdale would come in for cat litter. Scott from Emmerdale loves mountain bikes and the like so we used to see him coming to the Bike Shop over the road.

Rolf Harris's wife came in for birdseed. I sold Carol Vorderman a garden bin. I sold a bench to Terry Wogan's wife and a box of cushions to Micheal Parkinson's wife. Ulrika came in with her mum a couple of times and once with a boyfriend, you know, that gladiator. Noel Gallagher came in once but didnt buy anything.

I saw Lance from Brookside in Gap in Oxford Street. Jimmy Gulzar cut my dad up on the A404 near High Wycombe once. I saw that geordie stableman from Emmerdale walking down the Charing Cross Road. I saw Tim from The Office in Leicester Square Tube.

Dreary, you just reminded me!!

My sister and her husband also met Jack P Shepard and his family in the airport coming back from Malaga. He was being recognised by a lot of people and giving out signed pictures.
