Whats everyone's biggest shocks/twists in soap?

For me it's between Kathy returning in live week in Eastenders or Lindsey being found dead in Hollyoaks both massive OMG moments

Bobby didn't shock me, had guessed it weeks before, expecially after they changed the actor

It didn't shock me either, and I got a nice little payout in my £10 bet

Oh yes! I jumped off the sofa and said a very bad word at high volume at that point. I had completely forgotten I had said my daughter could stay up and watch as a special treat until I heard the sniggering

I exclaimed a certain word so loudly that my dog ran out of the room

Stacey being Archie's killer - especially as we weren't aware of her reason at the time.

Showing my age, the reveal that Den was Vicki Fowler's dad was a huge twist/shock at the time.

Grant and 'Chelle's one night stand was a bit of a shock too.

Phil Mitchell getting himself a new liver. But it was been rejected by his body. And then finds out that Ronnie and Roxy are a match and he has to choose which one to have

Brendan in Hollyoaks' rubbish exit which was promoted as epic and turned out to be the biggest damp squib ever

In EE, some recent ones that initially shocked me personally (not necessarily huge twists!) are:

Kathy's return
Stacey revealed as Archie's killer
Janine stabbing herself
Phil figuring that Shirley was Mick's mum
Bobby in the Vic revealing he killed Lucy in the middle of an episode
Shabnam revealing to Stacey that Dean was her baby's father
Shirley realising Jade was a different girl and had cystic fibrosis
Ronnie dying and coming back to life
Dean admitting to raping Linda
Margaret dying (terrible episode but the random death surprised me as it wasn't even hinted)
Every surprise unannounced return/exit

Jane's first return in 2014 will always be one of my favourites purely because it was one of the first times I'd seen a returning character hidden from spoilers (which used to be super analysed). I remember thinking I knew the duff duff and then Jane popped up

When Sharon came back to hear Den's lies exposed by Chrissie, Zoe and Sam shortly before he was murdered. She walked out of the shadows in the Vic and I was genuinely shocked. Was a great twist.

Lynsey Nolans death in Oaks. This was before we had a death every week in Oaks, and there was no spoilers about it. It was totally unexpected and brilliantly done.

The problem is there aren't that many true surprises anymore, everything is 'spoiled' beforehand.
