I wondered that too, has there ever been two regular characters in a soap with the same name?



There have - Jacqui (Dixon) and Jackie (Corkhill) in Brookside. I think there has been in Hollyoaks too a few years back - can't recall who though.


There was Sam in Hollyoaks (one of the 5 students) and Sam OB O'Brien. Is that who you are thinking of?

There was (in Corrie) Elsie Lappin and Elsie Tanner, but seeing as Maudie Edwards - who played Mrs. Lappin - was only in for the first two episodes, I don't suppose it really counts. No-one actually called Mrs. Lappin "Elsie" as far as I can remember (apart from Ena?)

Can anyone shed light on that spoiler i posted? Put it this way its massive spoiler if its true, its a funny storyline if he's lying.


Probably one of his jokes although I wouldn't be surprised if it were true. I've always had my suspicions about him. Laughing

He has to be lying, that is unless he was faking wanting to bed Tracy. Unless they contradict their own story Smile

Well Todd went out with Candice and Sarah and we were given no indication that he was gay then.


But I do think you're right, just saying if they wanted to, they could.

I expect he would make it up to get at Gail. I also read in my soap mag that he does his exam, sets fire to the paper and gets himself expelled from schooo!

Good God, not David? It would be a shock for some viewers if it is true. It would be quite a 'weird' storyline if it was one of his lies to get at Gail. Although I have had a feeling something like this would happen to David..
