Than once? I can name Sharon and Kathy who are connected in a few ways. Dodger, Maxine and Patrick as well too. Doesn't have to be blood related, could be anything connecting them.

Cain and Chas in ED. Half- siblings and also cousins (the mother had an affair with her brother in law)

Cain and Charity: distant cousins and on/off lovers ( making their daughter a relative of everyone in the family twice over, I think)


Jacob, Leyla and Alicia in ED -Jacob was raised by one sister (Alicia) but the other, Leyla, was his birth mum. Leyla was also engaged to Alicia's ex David a few years ago.

Ross and Debbie: employee and boss, as well as lovers and potentially in laws.

Cain and Debbie: work colleagues and father/daughter

Rachel and Jai: employee and boss, parents of Archie. The current Sharmas are all business colleagues as well as family.

The Kathy and Sharon one is strange. To begin with Kathy was a generation older than Sharon, she was Sharon's mum's best friend and her son went to school with Sharon. Then years later they became sisters-in-law when they married the Mitchell brothers making them the same generation on the Mitchell family tree. Now Sharon is married to Kathy's ex-husband and stepmother to her youngest son but also best friends with her older son. And if Gavin turns out to be Sharon's dad as suspected that would make Kathy Sharon's stepmother, once again making her a generation older than Sharon. It would also mean Sharon and Ben are stepbrother and stepsister as well as being stepmother and stepson which is very bizarre.

Wow that is crazy, a lot of EE characters are connected in more than one way, it's so intertwined.

Neigbours

Thanks to them pulling a kid out of nowhere for Brad and Lauren, we've got this bizarre situation where Paige is going to be the paternal aunt AND maternal aunt of Amber's baby, as she's the half-sister of Amber and the half-sister of Josh.

Eastenders family connections are extremley complicated and odd lol, the reason being when your only allowed to have a family with someone who lives on the same square as you youre bound to run out of non relative options pretty quick

Peter and Lauren are both cousins of Bianca.

Lliam being torn about getting his great-uncle Max off the hook. He failed to mention (or forgot) that Ian is also his great-uncle.

And her Dad is married to his aunt.
And she's raising her Mum's son, who is her half brother and his son.
And his half brother Adam is married to Victoria, who is Andy's sister by adoption and Andy is the father of Debbie's children.

So her children's grandfather is married to their father's sister's mother in law.

Andy and Bernice in Emmerdale? As well as being step-siblings they were also a couple briefly. What made it even weirder was that during Bernice's original stint, Andy was still a schoolboy, whilst she was landlady of the pub.

Yep EE is very incestuous in terms of how all families are connected either by blood or marriage, even the Masoods haven't escaped with Jade being half a Carter.

Let's see if I can get this right - Cindy's half-siblings are Steven, Peter & Lucy. Steven's biological father is Simon Wicks who is Liam's great uncle. Simon's half brother David is Liam's grandfather & also Ian's half brother so Ian is Liam's half great uncle or something along those lines. Lauren is Bianca's cousin & Liam's 1st cousin once removed. Lauren is about to have Peter's baby which will be Cindy's nice/nephew, Ian's grandchild & Liam's second cousin??

I'm sure there's lots more connections I don't know about, basically those 2 seem to be related to just about everyone lol

I remember Amanda Vale in Home and Away was married to Dan Baker originally, then he had a fling with Dan's nephew Drew and after that he married Drew's dad Peter (and Dan's brother). Drew was also her daughter Belle's on and off boyfriend

Amanda also had a fling with Scott Hunter before marrying his Granddad.
