Last weeks voting was the closest yet but here are the plots going through…

Tiffany’s Death
Aeroplane Crash
Luke’s Rape
Mad Maya


Those narrowly missing out are Who Killed Susannah, Chloe’s Fake Cancer, Izzy’s Baby Secret, Meg Dying, Carol/Dan/Bianca, Rovers on Fire (Bet is Trapped), Stalker and Annie Steal’s Olivia’s baby.

Now for the hard bit! I have another 12 outstanding plots nominated by you, and all you need to do is pick out your four favourites! But you can't vote for two from the same soap. This is to give other soaps a chance. So this would be good ...

Plot 1 (Corrie)
Plot 2 (Brookie)
Plot 3 (Sunset Beach)
Plot 4 (Eastenders)

but this would be bad ...

Plot 1 (Corrie)
Plot 2 (Corrie)
Plot 3 (Eastenders)
Plot 4 (Eastenders)

I think you get the idea.

Nominees

Jimmy Corkhill, the teaching years ~ Brookside
What better way to be a teacher than with some forged certificates? So much for being good. He soon got worse though …

Free Deirdre ~ Coronation Street
The nation stopped when Deirdre Hunt was set to jail for comminting fraud. Only thing was, it was Jon Lindsay - a rogue “pilot” - who set her up. Eventually Deirdre was freed - much to the relief of the UK and even Tony Blair!

Karen/Tracey/Steve (baby/wedding) ~ Coronation Street
Tracey drugged Roy and convinced him he’d slept with her but it was actually her one night stand with Steve that got her pregnant. She duped the Croppers into believing it was his baby but relieved the truth to a shocked Steve at Christmas. However it all came out in spectacular fashion when Tracey “let slip” Amy’s real father at Karen and Steve’s wedding. Oviously Karen wasn’t best pleased and threatened Tracey with her shoe before eventually marrying Steve. Phew.

Ethel’s Death ~ Eastenders
Ethel returned to the Square and creating a dilemma for bible basher Dot. She wanted Dot to aid her in her suicide. An emotional farewell between this two ebentually led to Ethel slipping away.

Michelle’s baby’s father? ~ Eastenders
Michelle Fowler became pregnant with Vicki in 1985 when she was just sixteen years old. She chose not to have an abortion and refused to name the baby's father. Vicki was born in 1986, secretly the daughter of Den Watts.

Charity framed for murder ~ Emmerdale
Chris found out about Charity’s liaison with Cain and decided to teach her the ultimate lesson. He knew he was going to die from cancer but spiked his on drink to frame Charity for murder.

Andy/Robert feud ~ Emmerdale
Robert never forgave Andy for torching his mum but then Rob stole Andy’s wife! There was this huge fight in the barn and then recently climaxed with the tragic car crash. R.I.P. Max.

Paedophile ~ Family Affairs
Chloe Costello was sexually abused by a family friend. The storyline, backed by the NSPCC, aimed to destroy some unhelpful stereotypes about what we expect a paedophile to be like.

Mandy running away from her Dad ~ Hollyoaks
Mandy suffered both physical and sexual abuse at the hands of her father and eventually ran away to London. After a suicide attempt she admitted everything to Lewis who persuaded her to tell the police. She did and her dad was sent down for 7 years.

Sarah's reign of terror ~ Home and Away
Sarah was basically a psycho. She had Zoe falling in love with her but met her maker in a dramatic shoot out. Tick, tock, tick …

Paul Robinson Returns ~ Neighbours
After 12 years Paul Robinson set foot again in Ramsay Street much to the delight of the viewers. He soon made enemies in the Street though …

Operation Insemination ~ Sunset Beach
Shocking! I say shocking! This is where Virginia impregnated Vanessa with a Turkey baster.

There are your 12 nominees. Now vote for 4 of your favourite but only 1 from each soap. If these rules aren't complied with your vote will not count.

I can't believe either Ethel's death or Michelle's Who the father? is going to be eliminated. I hope there's some kind of 'wildcard' round.

No there isn't. I'm sorry but they are the rules of my competitions. This week is a tough voting choice - even harder than last week. They still both could get through though if you think about it ... but the odds are less likely.

Free Deirdre ~ Coronation Street
This was almost like a black comedy for me... there was such a sinister hilarity to it. The huge spectacled one, running mascara, going down down down after being found guilty! Surely inspiration for classic League of Gentleman character Pauline!

"Do you have anything to say?"
"I ... DIDNT... DO ... ANY OF IT!!"

Brilliance from Anne Kirkbride!

Ethel’s Death ~ Eastenders
So poignant and heartfelt. Pure character drama at its finest - so moving!

Michelle’s baby’s father? ~ Eastenders
Susan Tully was definatly the soap equivelent to Jodie Foster, she was so true and so compelling that even this tired soap cliché worked cause she was the centre of it. Loved the ambiguity about who the dad could be with her on the phone to a mystery Square resident.


Operation Insemination ~ Sunset Beach
FANTASTIC! Dominique Jennings gave such incredibly hysterical performances as the stark raving mad Virginia, so pathetically desperate to secure the twattish Michael as hers that she put poor Vanessa through all sorts of high maintanence trauma! The disfiguiring! The gaslighting! The arson! But... the rape by turkey baster?!!! My god, it was only natural Virginia go out in a straight jacket! Villainous Virginia made Mad Maya look like Mary Poppins! I'm not even joking!

But wouldn't it be better if we chose which stories to nominate, it seems a bit manipulative being told which to choose from, i can think of plenty more storylines to vote for, but I know they may already have been used in this poll

You, the voters did. That was the whole point in the first thread. I just put them randomly into groups.

You had the chance to vote earlier but missed out this are the choices that people came up with. Some are quite old and you can have a look here
