    Marlon's implausible harem of Donna, Laurel, and Rhona. I know they are all insufferable but all well above his station as you know.

    In Eastenders as soon as Ronnie and Alfie had resolved their issues and Ronnie had settled back into the square the baby swapping thing has barely been mentioned and I'm not sure if it's going to be brought up again, I know it's a recent example but it really feels like it never happened. There's also the traditional example of the letters that Billy was stealing but maybe it's for the better that one hasn't been mentioned since then

    The weirdest one was in Coronation Street when it was revealed that Ryan wasn't Michelle's son because he'd been mistakenly swapped at birth. They brought her real son in for a while before they didn't get on and he was away again. From then on as far as I know it hasn't been mentioned ever since

    Yes I was about to post this. It was such a huge clanger of a storyline that it's never been mentioned again!

    Emmerdale. Quite recently, an old man and his son moved in to the village. The woman who works in the cafe, because she was defrocked for something in the medical field, went to be the old man's carer; then he and his son disappeared without trace. Did the defrocked nurse murder them? I think Hotton police should be looking into this.

    Even to the point of her yelling to Ryan in an argument "I CARRIED YOU FOR NINE MONTHS!!"

    Ruby was sacked as the guy's carer when Ali stole money from him and Ruby took the blame while giving it back. ^_^

    Dev hasn't mentioned Mad Maya since, even though she tried to kill him, Sunita and ruined his shops.

    Carla and Maria don't mention Tony Gordon - even though Maria's currently going through a break down due to all her failed relationships.

    John Stape is completely forgotten and Fiz's crimes are forgiven.

    Anna and Gary not paying Tina's dad for fitting a kitchen and landing him in debt which ultimately lead to his death. It's quite apt that Anna and Gary and her builder boyfriend Owen haven't been paid for a job and are now in debt. Karma.

    The Carla/Michelle/Maria shared history with Liam/Tony is never mentioned and the familial link with Liam Jnr seemingly forgotten.

    In the 1960's - Crossroads did a witchcraft storyline! ATV were told it was too scary for kiddies watching - so it was dropped immediately!
    They'd laugh at such stuff nowadays!
    Good for Crossroads - they did a similar 'cult' thing in the 80's anyway!:)
