Digital wizardry means soap actors have never met the boy who's stealing their show.

At the time, his casting was quite controversial, as soap actors were considered to be inferior to 'professional' actors.

Roache was listed as the world's longest-running soap actor.

She is also rumoured to be dating daily soap actor Shaheer Sheikh.

Other movies that used soap actors, were Volle maan and Honeyz.

In one interview she defended soap actors and said that it is a "huge privilege" to be on the screen of "eight million people five days a week".

The celebrities are often Big Brother contestants, soap actors, 'it-celebrities' or someone who has a personal or professional link to the guest host.

In 1998 he won 'Best Soap Actor' award at the TV Quick awards.

Charlie Catchpole of the Daily Mirror commented on the performances of soap actors giving his opinion on what they should be paid.

She has moved from her dingy tower-block flat to a large country mansion, has had numerous plastic surgery operations and is now dating a leading soap actor.
