Anyone else think it was a crime that Danielle's death in EastEnders wasn't included in this list?! I dont know about any the rest of this you but no other soap death shocked me or had as much of an emotional impact on me as that one did! I was very surprised to not see it make the list I'm if honest

Indeed
I was shocked it was left off

Fatboy's death wasn't an entirely big shock imo. His departure had been announced months before and we were told someone was going to die before the new year You did not need Albert Einstein to work that out.

Don't see anything surprising about Callum's death in Corrie...

We'd all figured out Callum was going to die in the live episode as soon as they announced there was going to be a live episode. Nothing shocking about it at all.

Loads of soap deaths have been shocking. I remember being really suprised by Tiffany's death in EE and Rachel's death in emmerdale in the late 90s. We didn't have the spoilers then like now.

Reading that DS article though you'd think Hollyoaks invented the concept of killing off characters with Lynsey in 2012....

I agree that Callum and Fatboys's deaths were far from surprising

and also agree with noisewater that we had plenty of surprise deaths over in the years well before Lynsey's death in '12

OP - do you have a link to the list. DS is so difficult to navigate since the new format I can never find anything on there.

Was Steve Owen on the list?

That was horrid, and the image of his face when he was trapped in the burning car is still etched in my mind.

That wasn't a shock. It was known Martin Kemp was leaving.

What about Natasha from Hollyoaks? She was initially hyped up as one of the lead characters, but died after being slipped ecstasy not long into the show's run.

Some of the list were hardly shock deaths. We knew about them.

Danielle from Eastenders should be on it as should Sarah from Hollyoaks because her death was shocking in the sense of the way it happened.

Tess off Emmerdale. Why the hell did they kill her off? The storyline had so much potential. I would have liked to have seen her with her husband.

No Sarah Barnes or Andy Holt from Hollyoaks? No Nick West from Doctors? I thought the DS list was a bit poor actually.

It was known, at least I had read in one of the TV mags, that Lauren Crace was leaving and when Janine went whizzing off in her car, it was obvious that it would end in some sort of collision.

It's a list supposedly based on actors who no one knew they leaving. Most of the ones mentioned don't qualify for it.

Its simply a list devised to appeal to the twitter generation

The list seemed to be implying that up to 2012 any deaths that have happened in soaps have been known about months in advance and we knew the actor/actress was going to leave in a bodybag. Then Hollyoaks 'invented' the shock unexpected death with Lynsey Nolan's death in 2012 and every other soap has followed this tactic since.

But I'm sure there have been other unexpected deaths before 2012

There had been spoilers about a death in a parachute jump in Hollyoaks before the episode aired.

The only question was it going to be Sarah or Zoe that died.

However it is true that it was a shocking death in the way that it happened.

I suppose Lynsey Nolan's death on HO was a shock.

Callum's death on CS could be seen from a mile away.

Fatboy in EE wasn't shocking since the actor was already leaving.

I liked Emma Summerhayes but wasn't surprised with the outcome.

Danielle should've topped that list easily. One of the best shock moments EE ever did.

The list doesn't say it's the most shocking deaths in soap history, it just says these are 8 deaths that shocked us.
I'd definitely say Danielle EE was the death that shocked me most. Baby Grace in hollyoaks also shocked me and was one of the most upsetting soap deaths I watched.

Corrie don't do surprise shock deaths and Callum's shouldn't be on the list. I'm surprised that Rae being murdered by Silas in Hollyoaks Later wasn't on there.
