What's your favourite soap twist of all time?

Mine was when Home and Away's Sally found out that her childhood imaginary friend, Milco, her very first storyline on the show, turned out to be her real twin brother exactly twenty years later.
Absolutely fantastic acting from the flawless Kate Ritchie as well as some ingenious writing and fantastic links to one of the show's first stories

    It was a nice twist when the Stapemeister in Corrie survived the jump from the roof and a very good thing he didn't die at that point since if he had he couldn't have cleared Fiz's name and been forgiven by her.

    Chloe's death in H&A. They made it appear that Martha was the one who died as she was in a critical condition after the car crash while Chloe was fully conscious and seemed to only have a broken arm.

    EE - Danielle as Ronnies Daughter, will always stick in my mind as I absolutely did not see it coming, very obvious with hindsight but at the time I avoided spoilers and just had no idea!

    When everyone thought Cain shot Sadie in front of Tom King, only for it to turn out to be part of a plot between them both to get money from Tom. I remember DS was in shock and there was about two pages of people going " :eek: He shot Sadie" :D

    Yeah I forgot about Chloe. That was a massive shock as they said she was back for good and died three weeks later!

    The one that sticks out the most is Sadie's fake death in Emmerdale and re-appearing later on. We all knew both Sadie & Cain were going to leave, but it was a massive shock nevertheless.

    Corrie's biggest shock for me would probably be John Stape surviving the hospital fall. Totally unbelievable, but genius at the same time:D

    H&A's biggest shock for me was one of the season finales where the episode had finished, but then it panned over to a mystery hospital where Zoe McCallister/Eve Jacobsen was still alive:eek::eek:

    Other ones...
    -I really wasn't expecting Terry to die in the Emmerdale fire in 2011, that was quite a shock for me that ED killed off two of its longest serving members in one episode!
    -I remember being shocked finding out Carl had killed Tom.
    -When Charlie conned Diane, then appeared at the end conning another woman:eek:

    And it was five more months after they showed Zoe alive that she actually returned. Talk about keeping us in suspense!!

    I remember also how I had no idea she was actually the stalker. That was a huge shock, as I didn't read any of the Aus pace spoilers.

    THEN, I was further shocked, when Peter's police friend (can't remember her name) turned out to be her accomplice when the barn blew up at Jack & Martha's wedding :eek:

    That was such a good storyline, as it was a long running one, which H&A don't tend to do anymore. It ran all the way from Felix harassing Dani, to Sarah's involvement, to Noah's death, to Zoe arriving and causing chaos. I remember thinking it couldn't be Zoe, because she was attacked by the stalker, but it was later revealed she faked the attack.

    Her name was Tracey.

    The Zoë storyline is my favourite ever storyline - I wish her or Tracey were alive to return. :D

    I remember being shocked when she was still alive. :confused:

    Still remember being stunned when Clare turned up in the airport, it was a perfect ending for her. Lynseys death was also up there for me.

    Marcus Christie running off with the Mitchell family's money.

    This was the first one that came to mind. After years of being loyal to the Mitchells, to find out he'd betrayed them was a massive :eek: moment!
