Lots of great stunts there, but for me, the most recent Emmerdale car pile -up is the best soap stunt ever!

Ivoted for River Show Home Explosion, The Woolpack Flood & Siege and The Car Pile - Up.
All spectacular viewing and I could not choose between them. No other "stunt" really stands out to me. My vote was purely based on spectacle and not for the episodes surrounding them or anything - just the stunt itself. I would have added the Charity & Declan country cottage and river stunt on there too. |

I voted for the McQueen church explosion but there have been a lot of good Hollyoaks ones. I don't really remember the Dog fire, but I know it was good. The newer ones have been a bit meh, probably because I didn't care about the characters.
I liked Mad May blowing up the Miller house! I rewatched that episode recently. |

The Emmerdale plane crash was the biggest stunt ever. To see the whole village on fire, and wrecked was just astounding to watch back then. It was huge.

Love the Brookside options!
Brookside was real trailblazer for soap stunts. It's ironic that at the time Brookside was widely panned for relying so heavily on stunts, but it's now all that the other remaining soaps seem to focus on. Long live Brookie! |

I voted for Sarah Barnes parachute jump as it was just so haunting. The best part was not knowing which of the three girls had the faulty chute, the whole scene was just epic. The panic on Sarah's face, Zoe's pure fear and Lydia's horror at killing the love of her life. When she eventually crashed to the ground, the fields just went pink around her. I was speechless for half an hour afterwards, it was the emotion of it all. Absolutely spectacular.

I wish I had watched it when it first aired. Sounds like it was quite an experience to watch when you didn't know who was going to die!

Phil and Grant crashing into the Thames is my favorite episode of all time, so it gets my vote.

Emmerdale Woolpack seige was awesome imo, but Corrie's Tram crash 2010 is also a worthy mention

Corrie's first Rovers fire was brilliant. Nothing dramatised, especially Bet's reaction. |

I voted for the Corrie tram crash. Absolutely amazing imo.
But I would also like to give a special mention to Home and Away's barn explosion at Jack and Martha's wedding back in 2006 (climax of the stalker storyline), this has to be an all time favourite of mine. |
