Toby may be joining Home and Away (as a policeman), but he reckons he quite fancies coming back to Neighbours as well. There's intersoapiality for you - in advance! I point blank refused to accept second poor mans toby. So much so every thime he came on screen we used to chant 'there's only one toby mangle'. Now if original Toby was to come back, that would be the business.

Not really a soap, but the CITV children's programme set in a hospital, Children's Ward had Jane Danson in as Paula, a girl who was in a wheelchair, got better then was in an accident and had to be in a wheelchair again. I also remember her being in a children's programme on CBBC called Out Of Tune which was about a choir, and she played a "dead posh" girl called Chas.
Children's Ward has a lot of future intersoapial soap actors in.
Rita May played Mags, the kindly ginger nurse, and has popped up many times in Coronation Street, The Bill, Doctors, Casualty- usually playing a different character in the same programme.
Vicky Binns was in before going to Emmerdale as Ollie Reynolds and now is in Coronation Street as Molly Compton.
Anthony Lewis who played Ollie's brother Marc in Emmerdale was previously in Children's Ward as well, and since he's been in Doctors and Holby City.
Paul Fox was in it for a while as well before he was in Emmerdale and Corrie. That seems to have been a rite of passage for some. Childrens Ward, then Emmerdale, then Corrie.
Jacqueline Pirie was one of the best intersoapials in my opinion. Tina Dingle in Emmerdale and Linda Sykes/Baldwin in Corrie were so similar and Linda keeping her family secret a lot of people joked that the soaps had done a crossover and Linda Sykes may have been Tina's "new life and new name". She also used the same pretend accent for both characters. I was shocked when she was interviewed and had such a strong Scottish accent.

Children's Ward was also the breeding ground for most of our current soap and drama writers including Kay Mellor, Paul Abbot, Russel T Davies and a ton of others.
Plus (for the first few series before they called it 'The Ward' for a year, anyway) it was great.
Am off to post something in 'Shows that should be out on DVD'

One again the Bill has become the home for another dirty intersoapial. Gillian Taylforth is now a policewoman!

A friend of mine's brother was Sam in Hollyoaks (Alex the baby kidnapping infertile/fertile dick's best mate) and 'Street' in Out of Tune.
And according to IMDB he's been in Doctors and The Bill as well. But let's face it, who hasn't.

Apparently Australian actor Richard Grieve (formerly Sam Kratz in Neighbours and, less interestingly, that doctor in Home and Away) is soon to join Emmerdale as a gay horseshoe-fitter/designer/shopper.

EDIT: found a picture. Ok so it wasnt ALLLLLL grey but you get the idea

I'm watching Mandy Hollyoaks on Doctors (i'm off sick today) right now. It's just not right. I'm sure she's coming onto a gay Doctor.

What's that crappy thing on BBC1 about law students solving cases? It looks like it should be on CBBC but for some reason it's a proper programme on at, like, 10 o'clock at night. Anyway. Mandy was in that. I had the sound off, saw her, yelled 'Mandy!', listened to her scene, then turned it off again.

Mandy was in that. I had the sound off, saw her, yelled 'Mandy!', listened to her scene, then turned it off again. I think that might be The Innocence Project. I agree with your assessment of it, it's a childrens programme in a late night timeslot. I watched a bit of it as I thought Luke Treadaway was quite attractive in an unconventional sort of way. It disappointed me that Christine Bottomley was a member of the regular cast. She usually picks quite good scripts. Early on in her career she did do the intersoapial rounds though (Eastenders, The Bill, Holby etc). That reminds me, Christine Bottomley's co-star in The Street (the Jimmy McGovern drama, not Corrie) was the brilliant Joanne Froggart, who started out as dopey Zoe Tattersall in Coronation Street in the mid-'90s, and has been in a lot of serious dramas since. For an ex-soap actor she's done very well.

I was off sick on Wednesday and Thursday and on one of those days (Thursday I think) Mandy got off with the meant to be good looking but really isn't older doctor. Then him and should be gay but isn't doctor (Jimmy?) has a jokey argument about who was better suited to her. Mandy's clothes are nowhere near as nice on this as they were on Hollyoaks. It makes me sad.

Does she still wear overly-colourful headscarfes? For the first few months of watching Hollyoaks I was sure she was wearing a wig because she was never seen without a headscarf. Plus, if it was a wig then bravo Chester NHS.
