I think a few of the deaths in HO was quite sad, Stacey's breakdown in EE, Aaron coming out to Paddy, the first bit of Ronnie finding her dead baby was sad aswell, there are quite a few contenders.

I feel exactly the same, gutted and so mad at the writers for doing this to one of my favourite soap characters!!

I did the ugly cry when Jack Duckworth died on Coronation St - the way they did it was so reverential and poignant all the way through the episode.

I've cried loads of times. The most recent when Lola was begging for the social worker not to take her baby away.

I've found myself screaming at the tv at storylines which get me wound up and annoyed.

The whole Kat and Zoe storyline really got me. I experienced what Kat did as a child and so I really identified with her. Jessie Wallace was utterly brilliant in the reveal week and after - makes me so mad what they have done to Kat now. This was definately the storyline that got me the most emotional.

Yes, when Les Battersby ran the turkey over.

It seemed so unfair that the poor turkey was dead while Zippy, his incredibly annoying missus was still alive.

Life can be so cruel at times.

I've had tears in my eyes (and down my face!) only a few times. Jack Duckworth's death... Vera Duckworth's death... Pat Evans' death...

Laurel and Ashley's baby dies of cot death. (ED)
Carol Jackson's breakdown over Billie's death. (EE)

I was a wreck during both of these.

I don't like it when soaps kill of my favorite characters, but the only one who ever really upset me was Emmerdale's Batley

Yes, this made me very emotional, as it reminded me of a personal experience, and I think it's shameful that Charlotte Bellamy didn't get a best actress award for this! The acting was so believable and moving, I think she was robbed!

Billie Jackson's death in Eastenders was also very moving for me!

Oh yes, the reveal was amazing. The moment which most affected me, was when Kat was in the bedroom, and talked about the 'man in the moon'. Awww

Lots.

Stopped watching Eastenders when Dennis was killed. Only started watching again about two weeks ago when I heard Gary Lucy was joining.

I cried at Edna telling Jimmy that Carl was dead. I also cried at Tom Lister's interview and video farewells on the ITV2 show last night.

I think Meg's death in Home & Away is one of the earliest I can remember crying loads at.
