Haven't watched any of the soaps for years but was thinking about some old soap storylines that I remember.
I remember watching this from Eastenders when Grant discovers Phil and Sharons affair from a tape recording and then plays it in The Vic. It's so over the top, it's funny. Apparently the producers had planned the storyline as soon as Grant and Phil were introduced into the show.
Also remember in Eastenders when Arthur's affair was discovered and Pauline hit him with the frying pan. I don't remember there being any mention of domestic violence at the time but I'd imagine that it would be seen differently now. It was some hit she gave him and quite violent really!
In Brookside I remember there was a big deal had about the lesbian kiss between Beth and Margaret which is actually quite tame really when you look back.

Other ones I recall are psycho Richard Hillmans storyline in Coronation Street and Emmerdales plane crash creeped me out. I'm trying to think of a more fun and happy memorable one but stuck on that atm because things usually end in tragedy in soapland
What are your most memorable funny, sad or controversial soap stories?
