Emmerdale - Ross & Debbie: obvious choice, but I don't care.

Emmerdale - James turning out to be Adam's real dad.

Yes. The writers agree on that

Emmerdale:
- Laurel has an 'emotional affair' with Marlon. As a result, Ashley beats his father. Awful, awful, awful! It still makes me rage!
- Carl King's murder. Actor didn't quit, so why the hell would they axe him? A strong, male character is hard to come by in soap, Carl was one of them. Such a loss
- Moira's affair with Cain. They changed the history of the character to justify this storyline. We already had problems with the farm and Holly's drug addiction to keep the Barton's relevant - some sloppy, lazy affair wasn't needed.
- Jimmy's whole memory loss. I loved Kelly and Jimmy together but the way they went about her return and his amnesia storyline was utterly pathetic and made them both unbearable. I longed for Kelly's return after the way she left, now I hope we never see her again.

Just a few recent storylines off the top of my head... I could be here all night if I don't stop now!

This has had the single most detrimental effect to any British soap opera in my opinion. EE lost the viewers after this debacle and they never came back.

Debbie/Ross, probably the worst mistake I've ever seen, I can't stress enough how crap that couple is together.

Yes, that's where I stopped watching. Couldn't handle cot death on NYD or the ridiculous storyline afterwards.

Emmerdale - James turning out to be Adam's real dad.
Absolutely both of those.
Also Robbie's death.
Robert and Aaron.

On Hollyoaks, pretty much everything from 2013 onwards, but let's single out some real horrors:

Doug getting hugged gay
Rhys shagging Cindy and Sinead and then dying
Everything to do with Will Savage
Vincent
Bringing John Paul back
Frankie shagging Ziggy
Making Sandy Darren's Mum
aaaaaaaaaand revealing Dodger as Sienna's babydaddy!

There's loads since then I'm sure, lots of adults screwing schoolkids happily, bipolar played for laughs, all that, but the Darren/Sandy reveal was the moment the show died, and the Dodger reveal was the moment the rotting corpse fell into a mass of festering maggots.

Can't believe I forgot flipping Jackson! Made me switch off last time for 2 years.

God yes. I know a few people who switched off and never went back.

Debbie/Ross, probably the worst mistake I've ever seen, I can't stress enough how crap that couple is together.
So crap that even Mike Parr seems to want Ross with Chrissie now.

Hated the baby swap in EE. Stop watching. I've dipped in and out since, but I don't consider myself a regular viewer anymore.

As badly recieved as it was it provided some very good scenes and performances, mostly by Jessie Wallace. I remember being teary in the Julias Theme scene when they got Tommy back,.

I watched a very old goggle box episode yesterday of when the rovers burned down and it made me realise how ridiculous and unnecessary the whole karl and sunita storyline was and the climax to it

Hollyoaks
dodger being nicos dad. That storyline basically rewrote his entire history. The guy came into it 3/4 years younger than me but he left older than me. Patrick thought he was dead but yet he knew sienna had slept with her brother.
Nancy/robbies dad/robbie ye that was all messed up.
The end of rhys he went through all of the rape sl with jaqui and was great but got a crap oh ye he's had multiple affairs at the end i only liked his death scene with jacqui.
sineads baby being rhys' what was the point by the time it was born none of the affected were in it apart from sinead so there was no fallout.
That really bitchy girl who couldnt act who bullied everyone ye she got the funniest death ever but nobody ever found out she was a bully.
from years ago
sarah being a lesbian no she was not. I could have bought the experimentation thing with Zoe (even though i'm pretty sure that was only in the laters to grab guys attention) but then she got a girlfriend. Identified as a lesbian at best she was bi. But she had always been into guys previously.
