So a game only to be played by those who have far too much time on their hands and an unnatural soap love...
Who would be your dream soap family? Your family tree needs to consist of...
Gran Grandad Mum Dad Two Brothers Two Sisters Two Aunts Two Uncles
Unlike Emmerdale though, you don't get an endless stream of cousins so we'll ignore them.
The gran is the hardest - Pat vs Dot vs Peggy vs Audrey Roberts vs Helen is the worst!!!
Obviously, John Paul is automatically your boyfriend.

It is a thinker...it makes me realise that likeable male characters in soaps are pretty thin on the ground.

This is tough, and Jamie K's right, it's harder to do the male than female characters.
Gran - Blanche Hunt Grandad - Jim Robinson (is probably old enough now) Mum - Susan Kennedy Dad - Karl Kennedy Two Brothers - John Paul McQueen, Toadfish Rebecchi Two Sisters - Violet from Corrie, Lucy Benson Two Aunts - Frankie Dean, Eileen Grimshaw Two Uncles - Paul Robinson, Steve McDonald

i can't believe Fizz Brown is being considered as a bloke - Bloody hell she's butch. I think she's mixed up brothers and sisters there. I doubt she'd refer to Todd Grimshaw as a sister. Not even Antony Cotton would do that.

So I've taken a good twenty four hours to think and mine will be:
Gran - Marlene Kratz (Although she'd have to come back from her eight year cruise) Grandad - Don Fisher Mum - Susan Kennedy Dad - Brother 1 - Stingray Timmins Brother 2 - Bradley Branning Sister 1 - Annalise Hartman Sister 2 - Skoda Aunt 1 - Sharon Watts Aunt 2 - Eileen Grimshaw Uncle 1 - Phil Mitchell Uncle 2 - Rodney Blackstock
I'm totally in the same boat as Rad - I have a list of about twenty women I wanted to include. I demand an investigation as to why men just aren't likeable in soaps!

What a brilliant thread! Is it wrong that I have actually worked this out before when bored? I have also done a celebrity version.
Anyway I think mine would be:
Grandad: Harold Bishop Nan: Madge Bishop pre-death Dad: Paul Robinson (so we could hatch evil plans and he could buy me stuff and ruin all my enemies) Mum: Janelle Timmons (I would quite like Susan Kennedy but then my mum would be hotter than me and that would be crap) Sisters: Tiffany Mitchell (again pre-death and maybe even pre-Grant), Violet off Corrie Brothers: Dylan Timmons, Darren Osbourne Aunts: Sally Fletcher off Home and Away, Lynne Scully (before she went shit) Uncles: Lou Carpenter, First edition Doctor Flynn (for mild incest)

I haven't watched any non Hollyoaks soaps regularly for over five years, (sometimes I watch Coronation Street, and wonder why I don't watch it more often though) so this will be pretty one sided...
Gran: Blanche Hunt Grandad: Mr C Mum: Mama Ashworth Dad: Barnsey Brothers: John Paul McQueen and Darren Osbourne Sisters: Manga Hannah and Jacqui McQueen (there were hundreds but I chose Jacqui cause she could kick people's asses for me) Aunts: Mama McQueen, Eileen Grimshaw Uncles: Jack Osbourne (as long as I don't inherit Ruth) and Countdown Boy (as I've said on the Hollyoaks thread, everyone needs a pet psycho. I'll keep him in a cupboard and set him on people that annoy me)

Gran: Helen Daniels Grandad: Jack Duckworth Mum: Eileen Grimshaw Dad: Karl Kennedy Brothers: Tony Hills, Boyd Hoyland Sisters: Sonia Jackson (pre-Martin version), Michelle Fowler Aunts: Pat Butcher, Sally Webster (she is actually spookily like my real life aunts) Uncles: Kevin Webster, Steve McDonald
I'm choosing to ignore the many potential crypto-incestuous connotations going on there.

Mum - Eileen Grimshaw Dad - Bobby Ewing I'm not sure you're allowed a Daddy who's the same age as you, unless you're counting Bobby the age he is now and not in Dallas, (or playing games in the bedroom)! Plus Eileen would have been 11 when she had you!
