Default \'Head swapping\' in soaps

(Aka a different actor playing a character that was played by a different actor before)

Its weird when soaps do this, although most of the time its cause the previous actor was shite

The main one I remember is when they swapped Ginger annoying Victoria Sugden for a good actress in Emmerdale

Charlie was recently changed in Neighbours, he is like 3 or 4 xD

I remember when Boyd and Summer were changed too in it, it was really weird!

I also remember when they swapped Peter and Lucy in Eastenders.

They went on holiday and came back as two new people. I remember Pat saying "ohhh haven't you two grown"

They swapped somebody once in Home and away mid episode. I remember it being one woman in the first half then after the break she changed. I can't remember the characters and such since it's been years since I watched any Australian soaps. All I can remember is a woman being chased through trees.

Tracy Barlow has had about 4 heads

Also in Hollyoaks, the one who used to play Val (the one who was also in Emmerdale) took over from some other actress who used to play her.

I remember all the Platt kids changing heads at one time or another in Corrie, as well as Rosie and Sophie. Also Martin Fowler in EastEnders - he changed heads!

Also Ailsa from Home and Away was played by a different actress for a while!
