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
Spoiler
Too many decided on the basis of drama rather than what is realistic.

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.

Poppy and Fatboy buy a suitcase, they then find a letter and a watch. Poppy wants to send the suitcase back to it's rightful owner but Fatboy wants to keep the watch and sell it. http://primetime.*******************...ing-out-video/

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

I think the storyline just ended after Carmel and Kevin were screaming to the sky for the alien mother if they went down the mentally ill route it would have been quite an interesting sl.

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

Ah, the Summer of Moons I remember it well, the incredibly written character driven drama, Michaels 3 episode brother, the stellar acting of David Essex and the Chuckle Brothers.

Re the Bib. I normally don't have much time for the "Outraged" bridgade but as an Irish person, I was appalled at the depiction of ireland in those episodes. It was downright offensive and ludicrous.

Saying that I thought Mary and Conor were decent characters.

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!

I enjoyed the reveal, but not the affair itself!
