That was absolutely heartbreaking.
My favourite is Alf and Sally'a goodbye. It is so emotional to watch and it came from the heart, I doubt there was much acting that day as it was so raw.
Another one I found really powerful was when she returned an episode opened with Sally crying on the beach. Alf came over and asked her what was wrong and she said she missed Flynn so much. Flynn was dead seven years at that stage so I thought it was really strong as soaps normally forget grief after a few weeks
