Have you noticed how many ex-Eastenders actors end up as regulars in other Soap Operas such as Casualty and The Bill? There seems to be a large cross-over of actors in this way (from other soaps such as Brookside too).

In The Bill at present we have:

* Gillian Taylforth (”Kathy Beale/ Mitchell” in Eastenders and “Sgt Nikki Wright ” in The Bill);
* Louisa Lytton (”Ruby Allen” in Eastenders and “WPC Beth Green” in The Bill);
* Roberta Taylor (”Irene Raymond” in Eastenders and “Inspector Gina Gould” in The Bill);
* Lucy Speed ( “Natalie Evans” in Eastenders and “DC Stevie Moss” in The Bill).

Todd Carty (Mark Fowler) also had a regular part in The Bill.

In Eastenders, at present we have Scott Maslen as Jack Branning who has been playing DS Phil Hunter in The Bill. Actors who played DCI Burnside and DS Don Beech and also appeared as Len Harker and Johnny Allen, respectively.

Which other characters from The Bill would you like to see in Eastenders? Are certain actors typecast as soap actors?
