Simon Gregson – Steve McDonald from Coronation Street
When the producers of Coronation Street introduced Steve McDonald, played by actor Simon Gregson, as a new member of the McDonald family, they had no idea they were creating a long-running character. Simon has played Steve on-screen since 1986, except for a brief hiatus in 2015. He is still a regular on Coronation Street. He’s also appeared on shows like Catch a Celebrity, Show Me the Telly, and Celebrity Haunted Mansion, among others.
Lucy Benjamin – Lisa Fowler from EastEnders
Actress Lucy Benjamin and the producers of the soap EastEnders appear to be inseparable, as they have an on-again, off-again relationship. Lucy first appeared on the show in 1998 as Lisa Fowler and left in 2003; she returned in 2010 and 2017. Lucy eventually returned to the cast as a regular in 2019, but the couple decided to leave the show in 2020. It’s a good thing she’ll be getting a steady stream of TV shows. She has appeared in several well-known shows, including Casualty, The Dumping Ground, and Doctor Who.
