The UK soaps are crossing the streams like never before in 2021. First we had the climate change awareness storyline that saw Coronation Street, Emmerdale, EastEnders, Hollyoaks, Casualty, Doctors, and Holby City crossing over for the very first time. Now we've got two iconic soap characters appearing on First Dates together in a new sketch for Children In Need. EastEnders’ Janine Butcher — played by Charlie Brooks — is looking for love and turns to Channel 4’s hit dating show First Dates to help with her search.
