I know it's been endlessly mentioned, but it still for me has to be the Kat and Zoe scene from Eastenders : "You ain't my mother! " "Yes, I am!"

@mikado1 No she didn't but made everybody else think she did. Not sure what the writers were thinking with that storyline!

All of the above plus,

Lukes rape in Hollyoaks
and
Siennas reign of nastiness which all comes out including her fake pregnancy.

Thought of another one...the brother/sister incest storyline on Brookside. I can still picture their faces. Brookside had no chill at all with all the controversy.

Hayley Cropper’s death in Corrie was one of the saddest things I’ve seen.

Also more recently Cerberus dying in Evelyn’s arms. I cried real tears at that. Maureen lipman is the best actress/character in Corrie by a country mile at the moment.

Omg Cerberus dying was so sad and it was so relatable to many of us. I’m glad Corrie did that storyline.

Oh god the dog dying was unbearable. I hate seeing animals hurt/dying in films and TV and I was in a state.

There was a cot death story in take the high road. It was Natalie robb who now is in emmerdale I am sure. It’s never left me in 30 years.

When Bouncer died 😭

The Archers:
Nigel falling off the roof on New Year's Eve
Helen stabbing Rob

EastEnders:
Frank and the bow tie
Janine pushing Barry off the cliff

louderthan · 25/09/2023 00:38

Most of mine are the Archers:
Nic Grundy dying of sepsis
Alice hallucinating from alcohol withdrawal
Lilian finding out about Paul's death
'Allo pusscat...'

Ernest Bishop getting shot dead in a wages snatch at Baldwin's Casuals (Corrie)

Bet having a miscarriage (Corrie)

Willmott-Brown raping Kathy (Eastenders)

Damon Grant getting stabbed (Brookside)

Thought of the Richard Hillman scene driving the Platts into the canal when I read the title.

Also the Kat and Zoe 'YES I AMMM' scene from Eastenders, and Little Mo hitting Trevor with the iron.

When Les and cilla Battersby were in their new bath and went crashing through the ceiling in it when Schmeichal the Great Dane leapt in.
I still crease up remembering that scene 🤣
Blanche at the AA meeting...
' I don't care much for that woman being here '
' I don't care much for your halitosis, but here we are ' 🤣

Jack and Vera's last dance. No matter how many times you see it, it makes you well up. Same with Hilda and Stan's glasses.

Deidre's stuffed marrow. Ken having an affair with a woman on a tug boat, as Blanche called it. He had tucked into some home made minestrone soup, then went home to Deidre announcing that they were having tinned minestrone soup for tea.

Tina being thrown off the building and wondering if he'd ever get caught for it.

EastEnders when Pauline smacked Arthur round the head with the frying pan after she found out about his affair.
Sharon and Phil's affair being exposed.
Max's affair being exposed.
Den and Angie's Christmas divorce papers.
Mark Fowler announcing that he was h.i.v positive and everyone shunning him.
Peggy ripping her clothes up in distress following a mastectomy.

Aidan's death in Corrie was very upsetting.
