From time to time there are really big, dramatic events in soaps. Unfortunately, at present I can only think of few examples, like the plane crash or the storm in Emmderdale and the siege in Brookside (didn't they also have a storyline about a lethal virus?). But I'm sure there have been more catastrophes in British soaps? Can anybody help me?

Yes there was a virus, the whole street was quarantined.

Of course there was the funfair in Eastenders.

The bus crash in Emmerdale which lead to butch's death.

and of course the biggest catastrophe....................
........... The second death of Dirty Den

That was dramatic? I thought that was thrown in as a bit of comedy!

Can't think of any from Corrie, part from many years ago when a lorry crashed into the Rovers.

mad Maya week was pretty catastrophic (I didn't enjoy it, but it certainly was dramatic).

Brookie was the main one for those types of events - they also had the helicopter crash and the gas explosion (the millenium club thingy that killed Greg and injured Susannah).

There was that time when the Ferreiras arrived. That was the biggest soap disaster in my opinion.
