Watching Emmerdale recently, it seems sort of obvious Zak and Lisa will end up back together at some point. If Joanie and Zak stay together until even the end of the year I'd be surprised.

Has any there been any couples that actually stayed together and lasted after their affair? Ken and Deirdre always ended up back together. Peter and Carla in Corrie didn't last long. Sharon ended up back with Phil after their affair in the 90s but only after about a 20 year gap and now that's over again. The two people who have the affair and break up a relationship never seem to last long after it's all been exposed.

Surely one couple in one soap managed to have an affair and maybe even get married and actually be happy after it?!

Didn't Jack Duckworth cheat on Vera, similarly didn't Stan Ogden cheat with Hilda with a woman from Inkerman Street?

Yes but Jack went back to Vera and Stan went back to Hilda. What I meant was has anyone had an affair then actually been in a happy relationship with the person they had the affair with. Everyone seems to go back to their original partner or never stay together after their affair's been exposed.

Indeed. It never dawned on me before about how the relationship ends once the affair is exposed.

I suppose i could kinda say Robron. I mean they are not a couple at the moment but it's been teased in the media and hinted on screen that despite their affair and eventual breakup, they will be reunited. Whether that leads to a happily ever after is unknown.

It would be a refreshing change it they did get together again and actually stay the course!

That happened with Nick and Phyllis on the Young and The Restless, they were having an affair while Nick was married to Sharon and Phyllis was married to Jack, Phyllis ended up pregnant and the two of them got together and got married.

Also Cassie and Kevin on One Life to Live, Cassie was married to Reverend Andrew and had been happy for years but became attracted to Kevin when they started working together, they began and affair and Cassie eventually left Andrew for Kevin.

Yup, and if something hasn't happened on the British soaps, 9/10 at least one of the American soaps has done it

EastEnders

Sonia + Tina - Sonia slept with Martin once whilst with Tina (and also Fatboy when they were on a break.)
Kat + Alfie - Kat had an affair with Derek
Stacey + Martin - although they weren't together at the time, Kush once slept with Stacey
Vincent + Kim (?) - I vaguely remember Kim finding out that Vincent slept with Ronnie
Lee + Whitney - in the first week of their relationship, Lee slept with Lucy

But all those couples got back together and didn't stay with the person they had a fling with.

I was going to say them but they only got together once John had died. Moira and John were in the process of rebuilding their marriage until his sudden death.

Most of the time its gay couples [where one is with a person of the opposite sex] that are having the affair that end up staying together (Chryed, soon Robron), but most of the time, you're right, they go back with the original partner or end it together. I suppose, technically, Ian and Jane if you only consider the second time around, as Ian was with Denise - but they were a couple before.

Actually, if you count breaks and reunions - then Sharongate would be a good example, given that Sharon and Phil are now a married couple and have been since 2014. They're always breaking up, but its likely they'll reunite

While I am anti-RobRon if it will make Aaron happy it will be a nice change.

LOL, I'm trying to stop being so negative towards them I really didn't like how Robert treated Aaron and how its all being swept under the rug for a RobRon reunion but I guess if General Hospital could gloss over Luke raping Laura to create US soaps most popular super couple I need to cut RobRon some slack

Sometimes ignoring the negative will make you appreciate the love between them more.

Plus rob only treated Aaron like crap because he wasn't happy in himself because of his sexuality. He isn't like that anymore.

While they do have good chemistry I still find it hard to believe Robert is capable of loving anyone and his true colors were starting to show last night, he's gonna be focused on breaking up Andy and Chrissie.

He might view as Andy getting back him because Rob tried to steal Katie many years ago.

But rob is very insecure though.

LOL Robert is anything but insecure, he oozes confidence and up until a few months ago Robert was pure evil and I think his main goal in life is to make sure Andy is miserable. If killing Aaron would hurt Andy he'd do it without a second thought.

Insecure in the sense his dad favoured his adopted brother over him. Plus the battle of his sexuality. He hides it with his oozing confidence. I think he has calmed down now. More at ease with who he is.

But it's worth poining out that anything that happens to Andy is a form of karma. He killed his own mother in a fire and used to beat up his girlfriend. He may not be as arrogant as Rob but Andy is no innocent. Him and Rob are as bad as one another.

Ah sorry I misread the question and thought you meant relationships which carried on after finding out their spouse cheated on them. My bad!
