Has anyone ever had an affair on a soap that was never revealed?

Just watching Emmerdale and it's obvious Vanessa and Adam's one night will inevitably be revealed. Trying to think if any major character on a soap has had an affair or one night stand behind their partner's back that never got revealed? I remember years ago Sally Webster had an affair with her boss at a car showroom in Corrie. Did that ever come out? In real life people have affairs and one night stands that remain secrets forever but almost never in the soaps!

Can't think of one, except for Michelle Fowler's one night stand with Grant Mitchell, resulting in Mark Jr being born. But I think a couple of people did know about it. It's definitely not common knowledge though. A nice secret that's gone down in EE history, and would be nice to see it if either returns.

I'd like someone to tackle it though. It's a brave thing to do but soaps move so quickly that fans would say they were bored of waiting.

I don't know if it counts, but when Max first came to the Square, he was having an affair with Moira from Emmerdale and I don't believe Tanya ever found out. It mainly took place offscreen.

Tanya found out about Max's affair with Gemma (Moira in ED) - he bought Booty for her as an apology/thank-you for giving the marriage another go.

Sally's fling with Ian Davenport was revealed and Kevin punched him.

Grant and Michelle's one night stand hasn't had a big reveal

When the Slaters first arrived in EastEnders, there were a couple of early hints that Kat had had sex once or twice with Gary Hobbs, the long term fiancé of her sister Lynne. I recall a conversation between Kat and Gary in the launderette that alluded to this secret liaison that would 'tear the family apart' if ever revealed, but it was never revealed and never subsequently explored in any storyline.

Obviously the scriptwriters had peppered the Slaters with many secrets to be revealed and went with those other secrets, which kept the clan busy enough.

Not really an affair but shortly after Ken and Deirdre remarried in 2005 there was an episode where Deirdre went on a night out with a group of women. Deirdre got chatting with a man and they ended up snogging. Deirdre felt bad as she had only just married Ken. I assumed Ken would find out but it was never mentioned again.

In hollyoaks Rus cheated on one of the twins Sophie I think with Mercedes I don't think that had a big reveal as Sophie died in the dog fire before finding out.

I would absolutely love that to come out, I know they are trying to get Ross Kemp back and if they could some how get Susan Tully (I know she doesn't act anymore) back for adleast an episode or 2 that would be great. Have they ever done a 20 year secret reveal??

Not to my memory, but I think it could make a good storyline actually. Kind of a Brief Encounter style storyline, maybe using a couple who've been married for a long time and the marriage isn't as happy as it used to be, with one of them meeting someone else and falling in love and having an affair etc but eventually deciding to end it and stay with their other half for the sake of the children or anything else, with nobody ever finding out about the affair. I think it would be quite hard to play it in a way that wouldn't turn the audience off the character having the affair, but I think it could be quite a poignant storyline and something different to the abundance of affair storylines across the soaps.

I'm sure Zak Dingle had a fling with another woman shortly after he received the all-clear from his cancer scare. I don't think Lisa ever found out.

Not such of much of an affair, but i don't think many people know about the one night stand between Tracy the barmaid and Phil. I think it was Phill she slept with. I am not too sure.

Really? I don't remember that. You're most likely right then.

That's because most TV screens are too small to fit Phil and Heather into one screenshot . Everything has its limitations .

Although we did catch a close-up glimpse of Heather's thigh on top of Phil .

In HO, Sinead's one night stand with Rhys (which resulted in baby Katy) was never revealed publicly. Only Jacqui and Cindy knew about it and knew that Sinead got pregnant with him, I don't think even Diane knows about it.

He was in bed with Mercy the night of the fire and on the day of the twins funeral I seem to remember Justin calling Mercy a slag and nearly landing one on Russ, so he must've found out about it somehow. Even if Sophie never knew, her brother did!

I know this isn't the subject of this thread, but mention of Vanessa and Adam's one night stand ... I saw in the paper today she finds out she's pregnant and wonders ... Who's the daddy?
Must be all of a week since one of those storylines featured!

And so that should stay. Nobody needs to know.

Wasn't it also revealed on Max's stag do (or someone's stag do) that Tracey was partial to the odd one night stand with other characters too, I'm almost sure they suggested Tracey was the kind of woman that got around a lot even if we never see it.

In Neighbours Matt Turner recently cheated on his wife Lauren and then died a week or so later. No doubt Lauren will eventually find out but i suppose technically he got away with as he'll never face the consequences of his actions.

Is the affair between Vanessa and Adam going to be revealed soon? or are we going to have to wait to see if the baby comes in a school blazer or farm overalls? Will the Robert/Aaron affair ever be revealed?

I've thought of another one Joe wicks (David's son) slept with that Irish girl, I think she was a relative of Paulines. Sarah never knew.
