The lovelies at Mecca Bingo have challenged me to come up with and share my favourite five soap moments ahead of the British Soap Awards on May 25th. In the spirit of these being British soap operas I have decided to ignore Home and Away and Neighbours (although they have both broadcasted some fairly epic storylines and cliff-hangers!) and concentrate on more home-grown shows.
There are so many fabulous soap moments I have enjoyed including the Emmerdale plane crash in 1993, when Viv and Terry died, when Sarah Sugden died after Andy set fire to the barn, when Butch died (sob!), when Cameron died (I am a morbid beggar!), When Kat told Zoe she was her mother, pretty much anything to do with Kim Tate, Den Watts and Angie, Bet and Alec or our Babs but the list has to be written so here they are, in no particular order are my favourite five soap moments. Are any of these on your list?
The Coronation Street Joinery Explosion and Tram Crash
When Bradley Died (Stacey’s scream was haunting!)
When Richard Hillman Drives Gail & the Family into the Canal – (jump to 7 mins for the actual plunge but the whole clip is amazing!)

When Janine Pushed Barry Off a Cliff (Bitch!)
And last but not least… where Roy tells Pat he doesn’t like her earrings! (It had to be said!)

I could fill page after page with top British soap moments however Mecca Bingo asked for only five and here they are. What would be your top five or even your top moment? I feel like I’ve missed out so many here!
