Ever since online news and spoilers for all our beloved soaps, us hardcore fans have known just about every story that's going to come out of those Queen Vic doors, be kicked through the Rovers' windows, tabbed on Hollyoaks' bar, and herded out of Emmerdale village.

BUT What about those moments even we (the clever ones!) were never expecting?! Don't kid us or yourself when you say, 'I've never experienced that!', because you have!

Mine would come from Hollyoaks:

Lynsey's death! - absolute shocker! Just so unexpected, dramatic and executed really well. Although it was a waste of such an amazing character, that exit will go down as one of HO's best for me! What a way to go! I still remember being frozen for over an hour after watching the ep and then seeing Karen Hassan confirming the news of her departure on Twitter! THAT'S drama!

BiB, what do you mean?
How do you know that they weren't aware of it.

Anyway Id say
Who Shot JR (recent one) - Even if the reveal was utter stupid and dumb i was still shocked.
Dennis Rickmans killer was Danny
Who killed Archie

I usually read spoilers on Digital Spy so it will probably be Bradley's death.

HO Lynsey's death
EE Archie's death
EE Danielle's death
EE Bradley's death
HO Esther's entire suicide attempt episode. I kind of always suspected she would attempt suicide but for some reason I was still jumping throughout the whole episode.
HO Bus crash [Neil/Maddie/Rhys/Jono's death], never expected it to be so big and never expected so many people to die
HO the whole Silas storyline
EE Christian/Syed first kiss

Probably loads more I'm forgetting

Debbie Bates dying. Literally no build up but so beautifully performed in the aftermath.

The reveal to Who Shot Phil.
Someone opens the door, Phil's standing there, unpleasant smile on his face, He sneers 'Hiya' and the camera reveals it's Lisa.
Cue the actual sound of jaws dropping.

When Zoe blew up Home Farm in Emmerdale just after she sold it to the Kings.

I never saw that coming.

Len Reynolds and Shadrach dying in Emmerdale, because they were two I had literally no idea they were leaving, never said anything in the tv mags, total suprise. And also when Cain shot Sadie and 'killed' her, was not expecting that, then finding out it had been a trick made my jaw hit the floor for a second time

The most recent one for me was in WR when Tom Clarkson fell off the school roof, I did not see that coming. I remember even after the ep had ended I was still in a state of shock at his death

The idea of it was just really grim wasn't it?

Series 5 episode 15 for all who want to remember it. Buts very unpleasant. Fantastic acting though.

Cassies HIV diagnosis in H&A. I really wasnt expecting that. I nearly fell off my chair. H&A normally doesnt go near such serious issues or touches lightly on them if it has to (Charlies's very brief lesbian affair ... how quickly that was over). But to give one of their main characters HIV and one that is a young girl & who is pregnant was unthinkable for me. I was completely caught off guard.

I didn't read spoilers into late 2011 so a shock for me was when Roxy sold her share of R&R to Janine- I remember hoping that she would put Phil in his place but unfortunately this never happened. I had hoped that their sizzling rivalry would develop into burning passion

That was fantastic. I really thought someone would find her. What a horrible way to go
