So we follow soaps, the storylines, get emotionally invested with the characters, and when emotional incidents such as deaths, weddings or births occur it can draw the odd tear. Not for everyone, but occasionally theres just that incident where you begin to well up and let flow the tears, so this thread is effectively: when have you cried at a soap? mind they can range from a few wee tears to a bucketload 
Heres mine in no perticular order:
Agreements? disagreements? what are yourse? come on, dont be afraid to admit it
Heres mine in no perticular order:
- The episode where Jase died. not when he died, although that was sad, but moreso when Jay learnt his father has died and later when he wept over his dads body. i rarely get that teary but these scenes really got to me, especially since i loved (and love) both jase and jay as characters.
- Nana Moon: both the normandy episode with alfie (atill one of my fave soap episodes of all time) i found the whole air of that episode incrediably sad, and of course her quiet death. very emotional, and i defintely shed a few tears for these episodes!
- I liked the Millers in EE, and therefore liked the miller episodes where they returned to their council estate, back when eastenders could do runnign storylines without dragging them out immesley and adding in idiotic slapstick, you mind? anyway, when demi found leo dead, that just REALLY got to me. again, a wee tear was shed here.
- Dennis EE is effectively my fave character ever, so his death, and the aftermath got me very emotional. a few tears.
- The moment Paul was driven off in EE, and seemed to know what was coming: struck me as a very sad moment, and brought out a few tears.
- Its not often i get emotional in hollyoaks, but i shed a few tears each when Max died on his wedding day, and nearly, i think, when Kieron was poisoned. it was Nial and Kierons acting that nailed it for me here.
- Never cried at any corrie scenes, got emotional certainly, especially during Mike Baldwins death scene, and also when Sarah lost her and todd's wee baby son., also today when i found out Tully the Tit was sticking around for at least another year.
- For Emmerdale, again, there wasnt an incident where i sobbed or anything like that, but when Max King died, i felt quite emotional and sad, i really liked the character.
- Saved the best for last, or worst techncially: I have never EVER got so emotional or cried so much during a soap scene that i have with this classic EE moment: the whole Ethel/Dot euthernesia incident , how Ethel just died, with dot by her side, got to me a lot, and now i cant watch that whole episode without balling.

Also cried when max died in hollyoaks, and when steph was singing at his funeral.
I never actually saw the ep when Nana Moon died, but watched it later online and cried at that.
Also today with the debbie/jasmine bit i teared up a little.
I'm sure there have been other bits as well, i'm sure when i read other peoples posts i will remember
I cried when Wellard died (I cried for ages after that episode
I cried when Nana Moon died, the Ethel/Dot storyline. Erm I think thats it. I didn't cry when Jamie Mitchell died, I laughed because I knew all the girls at me school fancied him and would be crying
I found the nana moon and ethel deaths amazingly emotional, especially ethel: what added to that was how frail looking the actress was, just such a sad scene. June Brown is without a doubt Eastenders most reliable waterworks inducer!
Tiffany's funeral in Eastenders. When her brother gave that speech in the church I was in bits.
When baby Billy Grimshaw was buried in Corrie, and Todd talked to him at the graveside and said through tears something along the lines of "Hiya Billy, it's your Daddy..." I was gone. Like a sobbing wreck.
When baby Daniel died in Emmerdale. I think that might be the most I've cried at anything. Ever.
I was pretty embarrasingly bad tonight when Debbie and Jasmine were saying their goodbyes in the prision.
Basically if it's a death or a love-story it's pretty much a guarantee that I'll be in a corner in convulsions of tears.
I also forgot when Wellard died recently, so I don't have the young excuse. Everytime I hear that East17 song I am reminded.
I knew i'd forgotten something.
Yes i cried during Jacks funeral. Or more so after when they were standing around his grave
Yep. June Brown was outstanding. She is one of the best actresses ever in soap, IMO. Brilliant episode that was, one of the best. So well acted by the two. and so sad
when tina died in hollyoaks
when nana and alfie went awa on novemebr 11 2005 ( how sad to know date)normandy
tricia died in emmerdale
i vagualy remember a scene in EE with alfie driving his car away from kat, with her crying and whispering "please come back" or something like that which i found quite emotional
I think easties is good at the moment, got some rgeat characters, but there is justa bit to much forced slapstick and drawn out storylines, it doesnt quite feel as gritty or emotional as it once did, i actually find myself hoping santer will move on soon, the show badly needs a shake up imo.
off topic, i know, but i wanted to get that off my chest for ages!
Same, I have to turn over if I hear that song, EE have scared me for life lol
I turn over when I hear that song, for completely diff reasons like it being rubbish.
Oh my God Tricia!!!
I'd forgotten all about her. Add that to my list I'm nearly crying just now remembering Marlon turning off the life support.
Also Nana Moon's death.
When baby Daniel died in Emmerdale I was in floods of tears , my little girl was only tiny at the time and I remember going in to check on her in her sleep so much more in the following weeks.
I also cried when Ashley and Laurel took custody of baby Arther and Mel broke down. It was so hard to watch. Poor Mel. Poor Laurel. It was an unthinkable situation.
Dennis Rickman's death in EE was a very teary thing too. Sharon was having his baby , and he loved her so much. Dennis was fit too:D
ps- I know soaps are not real. Honest.
And most recent one was when Steph sang at Max's funeral - it was brilliant acting and writing.
