Mine are:

Corrie

Steve's brother...was he in it recently or am I dreaming? Where is he, why is he never discussed, why do they never visit him or he visits them??

Sunita - why did they get rid of her character? Dev is ten times as useless - and why does he never ever have the kids?

Rita's adopted daugher (Sharon??) or did she disgrace herself (I forget)

Emmerdale:

Bernice (Ashley's ex) why does she never ever look after Gabby or ever be mentioned by her mum/aunty/cousins (why wasn't she invited to Sharon's wedding, they are cousins)

The girl that got badly burnt - why didn't she go to Len's funeral? They used to live together. Was an excuse made??

Eastenders:

The pool table in the vic - where does it dissapear to? Surely the biggest missing character of all!!

Why do none of the slater sisters visit (why not bring back that one who never lived with them, but a different actress as the original was dire!)

I forget her name but didn't she return for a short time, cop for a load of money off Rita and then leave again

That was Belinda Slater.

I agree the actress who played her wasn't very good and it would be nice to have her return. Although if any slater should return it would be Zoe or Kat- they along with Stacey are my favourite slaters!!

Wasn't that Jenny Bradley, Alan Bradley's daughter?

The last time I remember seeing Sharon she jilted some bloke who was two timing her with Natalie Horrocks. Then I think she left the street to get away from him but the last thing we heard she'd married him (offscreen so they didn't have to film another wedding).

I'm pretty sure i remember somebody getting rid of it. I think it was Peggy when she returned after the whole "Who Killed Den" saga

He came back to be best man at Steve's wedding, which is actually a rareity in soaps so you can't really say he's 'forgotten'.

Sunita - why did they get rid of her character? Dev is ten times as useless - and why does he never ever have the kids?
In fairness you do here of Dev going to visit them, and it was quite refreshingly realistic that she just moved away.

Bernice (Ashley's ex) why does she never ever look after Gabby or ever be mentioned by her mum/aunty/cousins.
She inexplicably gave up parental responsibility of Gabby, she did suffer post-natal depression but as she's now having/had another baby you'd think she might show more interest in her first child! She is mentioned by Diane, she recently went to see her after she'd had a car crash.

Sharon was an earlier foster daughter that Len and Rita had.

Where on earth is Martin p*att?

On a separate note,
Spoiler
- in corrie, the minute you die, you're long forgotten.

For example, when was the last time we heard a mention of mike baldwin, fred elliott or alma baldwin?

All these people have people on the street who knew and loved them, as family or friends. Very strange that they mourn them for about 3 minutes, and then move on to the rovers and forget all about them

Maybe they don't like mourning in public and do it when the cameras are off.

I know what you mean as Ashley was devasted when Fred died, and now he doesn't give him a second thought or mention!

With a butcher's shop, two kids, a psychotic wife and a burnt out house, when would he have time?

Corrie - Spider (Emily's nephew) is never mentioned. Neither are Toyah Battersby, Todd Grimshaw, Warren Baldwin??????

Hollyoaks never mention Mandy Hutchinson. She never sees Tom or Max. Did she ask Tony for a divorce at Christmas? What happened with that

Toyah was mentioned a couple of weeks ago, when Leanne told Liam she had to meet her sister who was only in town for a few hours. Also, Janice went to stay with her a few months back.

Todd Grimshaw seems to get mentioned (usually indirectly) quite a lot.

Warren was crap and doesn't deserve anyone remembering him...

Jenny was Alan Bradleys daughter, he died in 1989 and she stayed at No.7 with various students before leaving in 1991 but returned dating a married man in 1993 - she ended up asking Rita for money and she blew her top, gave her some cash and never darken her door again.
Sharon was fostered by Len and Rita in 1982 and stayed off and on until the beginning of 1984 - she helped Len build No.7 and had a crush on Brian Tilsley. She returned in 1999 and stayed with Rita who signed the Kabin over to Sharon. After the marriage to Ian failed at the altar Sharon wanted to leave and poor Rita was forced to buy back her gift or lose the shop altogether

Hollyoaks - The Patrick (Patric?) family...

Sol, Gina and erm... erm... the pretty one.

Did Jack Osbourne keep in touch with any of them after the mother kicked the bucket?

she came back for Becca's funeral, she told Tony she was pregnant and getting married to someone (I think... if i remember right).
