I always remember the Eastenders Goes to Ireland episodes from a while ago. It should have been called "Fowler's Quest".
Usually anything foreign with the Mitchell Brothers. The one when they went to Italy to take back Peter and Stephen was an odd one. Didn't Ian hire in a specialist (who I misremembered as Ruuuth) as part of the team? It wasn't so much silly, but Shirley 1's Nasty Neighbour storyline with the dead cat in the bin bag was a bit of a weird afternoon play thing just happening on the sidelines. Also when Dot went to the Doctors and it was the Doctor from Jam. |

Big Mo stealing the carrots
The paternity of various people, including James Branning, Richard Mitchell and

Tanya's cancer - Appallingly executed. And of course Derek and Kat (someone pass me the sick bowl) and her other cheating storylines. Tina and Peter, Dennis and Gloria. |

Also, rural highlands New Year's bus crash. A taste of the forbidden for Zoe and Kelly, and the makings of Sonia (in a nursing sense).

It doesn't seem so absurd now, but imagine being told a couple of years ago that lousy, two bit hypocrite drunken lush gutter-wench doormat Shirley was going to be put front and centre of Eastenders, owning the Vic, with a huge family around her. Her dad is Timothy West.
Oh, and Danny Dyer is her brother. I'd have wanted whatever you were smoking if you'd told me that in 2012

Also that ridiculous Moons boxing storyline.
"Guys, I've got a great idea for a story. How about we introduce David Essex as Michael Moon's dad, but Michael hates him so he arranges for Tyler to be killed in a boxing match" Seriously who the hell thought that rubbish up

![]() I remember it well, the incredibly written character driven drama, Michaels 3 episode brother, the stellar acting of David Essex and the Chuckle Brothers.

Also I find Hollyoaks is generally the soap I find the silliest at times although I do like it. I thought the Kevin the alien storyline was the silliest I've ever seen in soap |

I'd have to say KidneyGate, the story would have been good if it was a another regular character like Dot or Billy, I just hated the Hartmans!
