Off the top of my head I can remember 3 and 2 include Billy Mitchell

-Billy stealing the post
-Billy's pictures of Lucy Beale
-When Emma Summerhayes cracked the case she made a big point of staring at Ronnie's house and the B&B before realising who it was

Didn't Ken and Deirdre remortgage their home to pay for the lawyer Tracy wanted during her trial. I thought they said that they'd be working until the end of their days as a result?I don't think it was ever mentioned again after her trial.

The whole point of that was Emma realizing from the camera footage taken on Fatboy's phone that Jane's car was missing. It should have been parked there but it wasn't.

Billy with the pictures of Lucy was just ridiculous - and in bad taste. I know he is an idiot but he was never pervy that I can remember.

What about Grant Mitchell being the father of Michelle Fowler's son?? Wish that one would come out!

Denise's fight with Lucy the night she died with Bobby hearing it all

Whitney's rot in hell note to Lucy just disappeared after Shabnam took it from Tamwar's bin

Ian knows that Ben tried to mug Lucy but Jay hasn't mentioned burning the beanie. It was a bit random for Ben and Jay to also rob an off license shop the same night.

It could've been a friendly gesture but people thought there was another reason why Aleks gave Honey the tablet

Not forgotten yet but Paul's diabetes hasn't been brought up again (BBC said it would)

Vincent's foster brother Glen appeared for one episode and left.

Lexi got taken by Carl's family and Ronnie, Roxy and Phil didn't tell Billy or Lola

It was also revealed that after Emma found out that Patrick had a fall after Dean left him for 5 minutes, she realised that anything could happen in that time period. Max also told her that he didn't see Jane's car that night (not sure why he would recall that).

Another was the miraculous recovery of the Philth's heart .

A severe condition never mentioned again once he danced out of the hospital like Fred Astaire on crack.

This was so ridiculous. I actually defended the storyline at the time as I thought the young actress did pretty well and it wasn't as bad as some made out. But the conclusion just proved it was all about generating headlines. Not a patch on the Sarah pregnancy storyline. Blackburn's major storylines were a joke. Never any lasting impact.

Long time ago but why was Tracy never given a retrial after it transpired that the judge was a fake? They just glossed over it and let the murderer walk away scot free. (or whoever it was that was fake)

The producers want viewers to forget that lousy storyline. And no wonder!

I don't remember Corrie properly clearing up the loose ends of Fiz's release from prison and John Stapes death bed confession. It was all sort of left hanging without proper closure. And when Tracey was released from Prison wasn't it 'pending a retrial'? Did that retrial ever happen...or is it still pending ?

I mentioned that too, see post 13 It was ridiculous how they just left it.

Ridiculous too how they forgot that while she was inside Tracey inherited her Grandmother Blanches estate. Whatever happened to all that money?!

Emma saying 'you know' to Max about Lucy's death. Clearly Max didn't know. So why did Emma think he would know?

Yeah I didn't get that either. The Lucy plot had a lot of unexplained clues which never went anywhere. I assume they were simply written in to mislead and throw us off the scent.

The most noticeable ones were Billy having photos of Lucy stashed in his flat and Whitney's 'Rot in Hell' note. Considering Whitney was potential suspect up until the reveal, I'm really surprised they didn't delve into the note part of the story more.

It wasn't really mentioned clearly but here's what I think:

Jane said that Max told Emma that her car wasn't there on the night Lucy died (not sure why he remembered that). At the time the Emma actress didn't know what the "You know" line was referring to so I'm assuming she just made it sound sinister. However Emma was in pain and probably said it so that she wouldn't have to explain it all again to Max who already knows. Not sure why she didn't say then and there that Bobby killed Lucy!

Ste (Hollyoaks) never forgetting Brendan, loving him forever blah blah blah...when he obviously has!
How many blokes has he been (in love) with in the last three years including marrying a guy he hated and was so jealous when he caught him in bed with the 'love of his life'.
I know Emmett Scanlan is no longer in Hollyoaks but considering Brendan was the best character they are ever going to have (any soap is going to have) then they could at least mention him once in a while.
I'm so glad I don't watch anymore because I am pretty sure they will have Warren of all people who actually deserves to be in prison mention him.
