[swalker007]

Does anyone know if the same actor has been in both eatenders and coronation Street.

[redcrx]

vernon in corrie and tricky dicky in Eastenders were the same actor

[Bbbananas]

yes - he who played Tricky Dickie in EE - also played Vernon in Corrie (the mason's arms - still remember that - brilliant...!)

[Bbbananas]

beat me to it red !

[natalie_1982]

Vernon as in Liz MacDonald's Vernon?

Hang on... I am thinking of Pat's son... I thought he was tricky dickie?

[natalie_1982]

Just Wiki'd him and it is who I thought it was (although I got a bit confused between Dickie and Wicksy).
He looks much skinnier nowadays :-(

The actor's name is Ian Reddington, I remember him as the Chief Clown in Doctor Who in the 1980's...

[Francis Asis]

Jill Halfpenny was in both

The actress that played Sunita in Corrie was the social worker in EE at the time that Sonia had her baby.

The lady who played Ruth Fowler in EE years ago, has been popping up abit lately as social worker type characters in both Coronation Street and also something else which i can't remember the name of - Hollyoaks i think!
