Which soap actors mysteriously faded into the shadows after appearing in a soap opera?

I'll start with Ashvin Luximon who played Asif Maalik in EastEnders from September 1999 to October 2003.

    The young girl who played Katy in Corrie. Seen her on strictly but never seen her since unless she’s in some programme I’ve never seen.

    She's had a few roles since Strictly -
    Trollied - 4 episodes
    Queen of Diamonds - short film
    Doctors - 1 episode
    The Outpost - 14 episodes
    We Are Not Alone - upcoming movie

    I haven't seen any of those by the way, just looked at her Wikipedia page :mrgreen:

    No I’ve never seen any of those either so perhaps I should shut up now 😊

    She works in a nail bar around acting work

    Kirin Kotecha in Emmerdale played by Adam Fielding from 2014-2016

    I’d love to see Adam reprise his role of Kirin B)

    I think he appeared in Ackley Bridge as Misseys boyfriend

    I always wondered what happened to the actress who played Mike Baldwin's wife - Linda? She seemed to disappear from the show rather hurriedly never to be seen again.

    She quit acting, ran her own performing arts school for a few years in the UK then moved to Canada to run another performing arts school there. She also became a novelist under her married name Jacqueline Chadwick

    What about his sister in the show. She was really sexy. Probably the hottest female character in the soaps back then

    I felt like Michael Parr who played Ross Barton would have been more prominent and actor. Had visions of him doing BBC / ITV dramas but can only really remember him doing Bulletproof since leaving Emmerdale and that wasn’t a major role.

    Hope he does get cast in something though. He was first one to come to mind as he was a prominent character.

    Did the actress who played doomed Sarah Barnes on Hollyoaks get much other TV work since leaving or did she do more theatre?

    Malandra Burrows?

    Wasn't she working at the Emmerdale tour a few years ago?

    Recently diagnosed with cancer, I believe.

    Tracy Shaw aka Maxine Peacock. Just a handful of roles since leaving CS. I know she had some issues so I hope she’s doing okay.

    Was in the theatrical run of the Harry Potter musical in Australia alongside Debra Lawrence (Pippa from Home and Away) last I heard. That was a couple of years ago.
