Where are the original cast of Soldier Soldier now – 35 years after the ITV hit launched?

William only appeared in the first season of the show, where he played Major Harry "Dickie" Bird, playing a central role in the show's debut episodes before making an unexplained disappearance.

During his time on Soldier Soldier, William was also playing Andrew Bower on the BBC's medical drama Casualty. Following the show, the star managed to secure a major role on Silent Witness, playing forensic pathologist Leo Dalton across 107 episodes of the popular crime show. His most recent credit was in The War Between the Land and the Sea, playing Ted Campbell in three episodes of the Doctor Who spin-off.

In 2014, he reflected on his life of fame, and when asked by WhatsOnStage whether he was ever recognised, he replied: "Often enough to realise what a pain it must be to be recognised more often."

William is married to actress Kate Lock, and the pair share two sons, Joe and Fred.

David was another actor who only appeared in the show's debut season, with his character of Major Tom Cadman most remembered for his loveless marriage to wife Laura.

David has had numerous TV and film credits since appearing in the show, including in the likes of Four Weddings and a Funeral, The Thin Blue Line, Keeping Mum and Killing Eve. However, he is most famous for his stage work, where he also works as a playwright. The star's most recent credit was in Magic, which he also wrote, which focused on the friendship between Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini.

Speaking in 2021 about the play, which wouldn't be performed for another five years, he mused: "Magic was my idea, the other one was a suggestion: I was asked to write a [stage] adaptation of [Philip K Dick’s] The Minority Report. That immediately felt like anathema to me. But then I thought anathema can be quite interesting. So I immediately accepted it."

David married Jane Galloway in 2010, and the star is a dad to five children, including the actress Alice Haig, who has played Vicki Fowler on EastEnders since 2025.

Peter played Lieutenant Nick Pasco in the show's first season, making a quiet departure after six episodes. The star's career has flourished since with roles in Highlander: The Series, as well as the film Highlander: Endgame, Cold Squad, Queen of Swords, Holby City and Catwoman.

However, later in his life, Peter decided that acting wasn't for him, and the star retrained as a clinician in the United States. In 2015, he entered the College of Medicine at the University of Vermont, and he currently works as an anaesthesiologist in Los Angeles.

Appearing on the Paths Podcast in 2021, he said of his career change: "As you get older, especially if you have kids, you think, 'What am I going to be remembered for?' And what am I teaching my kids? I'm very happy with how things are right now. Most days I really enjoy my day at work. Some days are really tedious, but that's okay — that's just how things are!"

Sean played Company Sergeant Major Chick Henwood in the show's first season. The star has appeared in multiple roles since the 90s hit series, including in the likes of The Bill, Midsomer Murders, Jupiter Ascending and the podcast series Wooden Overcoats.

Robert had a major storyline when he appeared in the first season of Soldier Soldier, with his character Colour Sergeant Ian Anderson vying for a promotion, but facing obstacles following a major theft at military stores under his responsibility.

Robert, who is the brother of actor Philip Glenister, has had a stellar career since his standout performance, with major roles in Hustle, Spooks, Law & Order: UK and Sherwood.

During his time on the show, Robert was married to the actress Amanda Redman, but they split a year after his appearance on the show. In 1999, he married director Celia de Wolff, and their son, Tom, is an actor known for his roles in Trigger Point and Grantchester. He also appeared alongside his father in Sherwood.

Jerome was one of the breakout stars of Soldier Soldier, appearing in five seasons of the show as Corporal Patrick "Paddy" Garvey. The character left at the end of the fifth season alongside his long-time friend, David "Dave" Tucker, who was played by Robson Green.

It wasn't just their characters who became good friends, as Jerome and Robson became buddies and they started their own band, Robson & Jerome, following their departure from the show. Their cover of Unchained Melody was the best-selling song of 1995, and both of their albums reached No. 1 on the official UK Albums Chart.

Jerome has also had an incredible acting career with major roles in Badger, John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, Ripper Street and Game of Thrones, playing Bronn in the latter show.

He previously dated his Game of Thrones co-star Lena Headey, but the couple called time on their relationship in 2014.

Winston played Fusilier Joe Meakin in the show's debut season, although he didn't return for future episodes. The actor partially retired from acting after the show, focusing on athletics for his home county of Saint Kitts and Nevis, and in 2021, he served as an officiator at the Tokyo Paralympic Games.

However, in recent years, he has returned to acting, appearing in Christmas in the Caribbean, The Island and Us or Them.

Holly played Corporal Nancy Thorpe in the show's first three seasons, known for her relationship with Paddy Garvey. She was quietly phased out as the show progressed.

Following her appearance in the show, Holly appeared in the likes of Dressing for Breakfast, Waking the Dead, Scenes of a Sexual Nature and Hijack.

In 1996, she married the actor James Purefoy, but the couple divorced in 2002. Two years later, she married the actor Toby Merritt.
