Just wondering what everyone's favourite plots were (past or present) from any of the Soaps. Mine are :

Coronation Street - Got to be the tram crash. The acting from the cast was amazing

Eastenders - The little Mo and Trevor storyline - Again, all credit to the actors.

Emmerdale - The Euthanasia plot. Touched so many people and brilliantly portrayed

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts

Kat and Zoe "You aint my muvva" and Kat's abuse by Harry. Brilliantly done. Jessie Wallace has been let down massively by the writers since her return. You only need to watch the 2-hander between her and Michelle Ryan to realise just what a fantastic actress she can be. The whole storyline was brilliantly written and acted by all concerned, and shone a light on the issue of family abuse in a very truthful way (I speak from experience). My all time favourite from any soap.

Emmerdale - the Wylde's story. It was a neat twist having him married to another woman. I also loved the way they were depicted as being the perfect family when they first arrived in the village, then by the time they left two years later they'd lost everything.

Corrie...Graham/Xin/Tina. An absolute gripping story from start to finish and the most realistic story Corrie have given us over the years. Graham as a character really could not of asked for a better exit over this story.

Eastenders...The missing snake, I cant believe this story didnt carry on longer, did the snake live?, has it got a happy ending?, Tho as this plot only lasted 2 episodes i have decided that the brilliant fantastically long running story of Whitney/Tyler/Fatboy love triangle is the best EE plot, just when you thought it couldnt get any more exicting, oh boy it does!!

Hollyoaks...Noah and Ste's realtionship, can you think of a more perfect match than these 2, Oaks just hasnt been the same since

The one that always sticks me, even though I haven't watched Eastenders in years, is Steve Owen killing Saskia, and the subsequent stuff with Matthew. I absolutely loved every second of it.

In Hollyoaks, Hannah's anorexia storyline was extremely vivid and well-written, and the acting from all involved was excellent.

I just adored the Joe Wicks schizophrenia storyline in mid 90s EastEnders,

Paul Nicholls didn't get the recognition he deserved for that plot.

Neighbours' 20th anniversary

Also Aaron coming out in Emmerdale (everything after the episode with Paddy was mostly rubbish though) and McDean in HO, one of my favourite soap storylines ever. And too many to list in HaA if I start I will be here all night.

Neighbours
Izzy/Karl/Susan - The Kusan break up, Izzy falling pregnant, the wedding that never was. And Izzy's exit showing all the characters involved were decent at heart.
All things Paul/Izzy/Elle -Three of my all time favourite characters, living together and plotting against each other at every opportunity.
The Brave and Miraculous White Horse (Unicorn) who risked it's life to kill Bridget Parker, and was tragically never rewarded on screen for doing so. That horse lives on in all viewers memories, as a true Erinsborough legend.
Madge's Cancer
Frosie's relationship from start to finish

Hollyoaks
Mercedes and Malachy's relationship from Start to Finish
All things Mitzeee
Max's Death up to Niall's death.
Clares first return (It was so camp but so brilliant)
Jack's faked death
Rob Hawthorne's general reign of terror in the village
Everything involving Zoe.
