Storylines that haven't been tackled
What things haven't been done in the soaps? Which topics & issues haven't been covered?

I've never seen a porn addiction storyline come up. Would be interesting to see how it is played out. I'd like to see one where a lost kid appears in a soap and becomes a regular and has no family but no one is aware until after.

Porn addiction would be a good plot. Anymore ideas? Some dark, gritty storylines would be interesting. Something that might happen on Hollyoaks Later maybe...

Child abduction and murder, I don't think has been tackled, but you never know, Brookside seems to have tackled everything. When I pitched my own soap opera every big thing I thought of, seemed to have been included in Brookside's stint. I thought of (examples); having a petrol station in a soap and a gang attacking the houses. Haha.
But it would add more realism if a child of a regular (let's say Belle off Emmerdale for instance) was seen chatting online to a stranger, then leaving the Dingle house one day and not returning, and then a few years later her body is discovered. Very realistic but sad at the same time.

A few could stick around to, and re-build The Masood/Ahmed family.

I personally think that's a fantastic idea. I mean, AJ's a comedy character and doesn't have a storyline. EE could keep him as a comedy character and give him a decent storyline, by having it revealed he has two or more wives and they all turn up to confront him on the Square, as he abandoned them in Pakistan.

On EE? Don't think so. The exes of the soap want the males to be 'macho' and appealing to the ladies in the soap. I think they're worried fans will lose interest due to their status but that storyline would be interesting, especially with Phil or Michael.

How about Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy? It will be different from a 'normal' child abuse storyline. Or maybe just Munchausen Syndrome storyline, but that would have to be done so people don't confuse it with self harming so maybe a self harming storyline at the same time so people can see the difference.

Again, far from a cheery one, but that syndrome where someone meets up with a parent/sibling they never knew growing up and is attracted to them?
