[QUOTE="emm1978, post: 231929, member: 128"] One interesting type of character that has always existed in soapland, is the type of character that will have a go at another character (often their spouse) for doing something, when the character having a go has previously done the same thing (sometimes to a worse extent). A couple of examples: In Emmerdale in 1994, Kathy Tate lost her rag with husband Chris for having an affair with Rachel Hughes. However, only the previous year, she had an affair with the American wine salesman, Josh Lewis, and was even prepared to run away with him. In Coronation Street at Christmas 1994/New Year 1995, Gail Platt is angry with Martin, having had a one-night stand with a fellow nurse, Cathy Power. Gail acts all like the woman scorned. It never actually occurred to Gail that she was being very hypocritical, as in 1986, she had an affair while married to Brian Tilsley, and, as a result, she wasn't even sure who Sarah's father was. Anyone know of any more examples of this kind of character over the years? [/QUOTE]
