    The first male rape in Hollyoaks also stands out for me, they could do more over their late night shows back then[/quote]

    Never really watched Hollyoaks but I remember a male rape in The Bill

    Brookside was way ahead of it's time any of the most controversial storylines I think of come from Brookside

    Trevor and Little Mo. A riveting and intense storyline.


    Oh yeah, and Tricky Dicky obvs :pac:

    Amazing that those storylines ran near concurrently on both shows. A golden period in soaps. Compulsive viewing

    I was expecting it to be a lot better. I found that Ryan didn't portray the transgender community in a good way.

    I am not fully sure when I heard it but the produce/script writer at the time planned that in 2011 when David(born Christmas Day 1990) and Rosie(Christmas Eve 1990) would 21 they'd get married!

    Corrie: Deirdre's affair with Mike Baldwin for some reason stands out for me. I also liked the Tracy/ Shelley and Charlie storyline ending with his murder.

    Eastenders: Michelle's pregnancy and the mystery culprit Den and of course Angie's "big fat lie" story. Sharon and Phil's affair. Trevor's little Mo domestic abuse story.

    Had to Google him. He was Les Battersby's son and a bit psycho.

    Another Coronation Street one, Candice leaving the street to become a stylist for Status Quo :)
