I appreciate there have been similar threads to this in the past but I'm in dire need of entertainment at work!

So what are your favourite soap moments?

Mine are all EE related (it's the only soap I've ever watched religiously).

1. The fallout from Carol, Bianca and Dan affair. This was an excellently acted out storyline, and I loved the way it blew up when Carol pieced together the old photo of Dan she found ripped up in the bin to see that the mystery woman he was hugging was her daughter Bianca. Top notch.

2. Sharongate reveal at the Vic when Grant played the confession to everyone at Phil and Kathy's engagement party.

3. Sharon's first (of many) returns to the Vic - with the classic line 'Hello Peggy, bet you thought you'd never see me again.' We all knew she had bought the Vic - but I thought that particular line was amazing!

4. The murder of Saskia Duncan. Well crafted and thoughtout storyline with lots of twists and turns.

Scott and Charlenes wedding - probably my all time fave

All of the Eastenders ones you mentioned are good. I also liked Eddie Royles murder and 'who shot Phil?'

Some of my favourites:

- Gail discovering the truth about Richard, and his attempts to kill the family/himself (Corrie)

- Ethel's death (Eastenders).

- Frank's death (Emmerdale).

- Baby Billy's funeral (Corrie).

- Den's return (Eastenders).

- The house collapse (Emmerdale).

Anytime Hollyoaks JP & Craig are together on screen !
I agree with that!! The JP/Craig storyline is brilliant!!!!

Hollyoaks:
* The Fire and Explosion at The Dog in Hollyoaks was great- also with all the stuff leading up to it- Sam Owen, the drug-rapes with Andy- all that was great!!
*The Becca/Justin/Jake storyline.
*Mandy/Tony relationship and them having baby Grace and losing her leading to Mandys exit.
* Max and OB stuff- they are a great double act and I love seeing them doing stuff together/
* The McQueen family arriving- love the family- all great characters.
* All the Clare storylines with Max, OB, Warren and Louise- especially looking forward to her exit storyline!- that is going to be a big highlight of Hollyoaks for me!
* Ben and Izzy relationship- I remember it being in a late night episode as well.
* Dan Hunter and Debbie Dean- they were always meant to be and then they kill Dan!!! It was totally unexpected when I saw it and it was so sad!

Eastenders:
* Kat and Zoe- leading up to when Kat revealed she was Zoes mother, and what happened after.
* Dennis- all of what he did- he was great.
* The Moon Family
* Who Shot Phil
* Steve Owen/Mel Owen- all that stuff that went on with them including Steve framing Matthew Rose for the murder of Saskia.
* Lisa and Phil relationship
* Phil and Sharon relationship
* Peggy and Frank relationship- and Pat having an affair with Frank and Peggy slapping Pat and Frank across the face- so funny!

Neighbours:
* The Plane Crash- killing David Bishop and presumed dead Liljana and Serena
* The Lassiters fire- caused by Paul
* Sky and Boyds relationship when they first met and when they were each others first loves and when Boyd liked Sky and accepted her even though people at school didn't.
* Sky/Dylan/Stingray/Kerry- Kerry had leukemia and Stingray died after saving her life and then Dylan left.
* Anything involving Izzy Hoyland- my all time favourite character. When she was involved with Jack Scully, Gus Cleary, Karl Kennedy, Paul Robinson- everything she did- she was just ace and a fantastic character and it was all down to Natalie Bassingthwaighte being a fabulous actress!!!
* The Flick/Steph/Marc love triangle- scully days- I loved them!
* Joe Scully feud with Karl Kennedy.
* The Timmins arriving on Ramsay Street- Stingray running naked across a football pitch, Janelle parking her caravan in the street- everything about them rocked as soon as they arrived! I am going to miss them so much!
* Dee and Toadie relationship- I believe Dee is still alive and I would love Madeline West to reprise her role and see Dee return!
* Friendship with Janelle, Lyn, Susan- loved it when they were all being romanced by Bobby Hoyland and they got their revenge!

Corrie:
* Richard Hillan- all the murders he did- was great and I always remember when the final part of the storyline came and he took them in to the car and they were about to go in the river and he said 'I love you'- that was just funny and wierd!

(my memory has gone blank on corrie and cannot think of anything else!!)

Emmerdale:
* I really enjoyed the Who Killed Tom King storyline.
* The feud between the King brothers and Rosemary.
* Val- she is so funny. I enjoyed the wedding for Sharon.
I haven't watched Emmerdale that long so don't have any other notable memories of it

In Corrie, Alma's death was very sad. In fact I really wish they hadn't killed her off as she was a very good character - her and Mike mad a very good couple too.

Bet and Rita's extremely vicious argument in the Kabin before Bet left was very memorable for me.

Vera chasing after Terry on Christmas eve after Tommy was sold to the Hortons. Heart breaking.

Des Barnes setting his boat alight after his wife had cheated - very surreal scene.

- All the EE examples cited by the OP - good choices!

- Blake and Meg in H&A

- "You ain't my muvva!" in EE

- Ethel's death in EE

- I've got to say that I was gripped by the Hillman story in Corrie

- Curly and Raquel's relationship in Corrie - beautifully done

- When Debbie died on an ordinary day in EE - exceptionally powerful scenes that will remain with me

- Grant and Tiffany's relationship in EE

- When Bea Smith got amensia in Prisoner, and regressed to a point in her memory before she committed her crime - she couldn't understand why she was inside. Very moving

- Various deaths in Neighbours - Helen, Jim, Madge, Daphne and now Stingray. Neighbours does death scenes very memorably!

Why thankyou!

I forgot to add Den's funeral when Peggy slapped Chrissy!

The arrival of Pat's bar - when Peggy was insistant that it had been delivered to the wrong address, whilst Pat was overjoyed! My funniest EastEnders moment in recent history!!

Tom Kings murderer revealed and Len dying was the best episode from Emmerdale IMO.

God, I have loads.....

Hollyoaks

- The Fire at The Dog: Sophie, Mel, Joe and Olivia's deaths

- Baby Grace's sudden death and funeral

- Clare/Max/OB Storyline - especially OB punching Clare and saving Max

- Clare being pushed off the Loft steps

- Dannii/Russ's relationship was really sweet, but sad when she left

- Mandy's goodbye to Tony

- Joe's fake funeral was funny

- The rapists Andy and Sam storyline - very well done

- Mel telling Sophie that she was raped

- Andy's final demise and death - his death was very ironic....

- The twin's funeral and Justin's speech

- The McQueen family entrance

- Craig/John-Paul stoyline - Their first kiss

- Becca's trial and death

- Becca/Justin/Jake storyline was well done too

- Warren and Justin burying Sean (its not exactly a big moment in Hollyoaks, but Warren was terrifying in it!!)


Corrie

- Richard Hillman driving Gail, David, Sarah and Beth into the canal - also Gail's line "You're Norman Bates with a briefcase"

- Katy killing Tommy Harris at Kev's Garage

- Katy's suicide was sad watching her feed herself sugar

- Todd/Karl Relationship and Nick telling Sarah that Todd is gay

- Baby Billy's death was a tearjerker too

- Maxine's murder So sad......

- Tracy's ''lapdance'' for Charlie before she killed him - made me laugh

- Mike dying in Ken's arm in the street Loved his line about Deidree

- Karen and Tracy stand-off at Karen and Steve's wedding

- Gail and Eileen cat-fight

Emmerdale

- Len's death - Very sad especially with the Katherine Jenkins music

- Charity whacking Sadie before she left

- Kim Tate's exit in the helicopter

- Cain Dingle's exit in the helicopter - I like helicopter exits

- Zoe blowing up Home Farm before she left

- Max's death

- Tricia's death and Marlon switching off her life support machine

- Alice's final goodbye to Sam and her death

Eastenders (I don't normally watch EE very often, but I do have some favourite moments)

- Tiffany and her death

- Saskia's murder

- Den's murder and Chrissy hitting him with that dog

- Who Shot Phil - that was great

- Janine pushing Barry off the cliff

- Jamie's death

Chrissie, Sam and Zoe confront and kill Den - EastEnders

"You ain't my muvva" - EastEnders

Sam blowing up the Dog - Hollyoaks

Clare trying to kill Max - Hollyoaks - especially loved the part where Clare told Max that Tom was in the lake, then when Max realised she'd lied, Clare said "Oh, my mistake" O.B. punching Clare was very satisfying too.

Are you me? lol, mine are the same but with 3 & 4 reversed.

I might throw some early H&A moments in too, Bobby, Don and Morag's storyline was great and when Meg died on the beach in Blake's arms.
