Remember these plots that had us hooked?

15 YEARS AGO – EMMERDALE

Policewoman Angie Reynolds was suspended when Cain Dingle (above, with Angie) revealed he’d slept with her while she was on duty and had a fling with her daughter Ollie as well. Angie’s husband Sean beat him up and told Angie he wanted a divorce.

20 YEARS AGO – EASTENDERS

Almost a decade after the show’s controversial first gay kiss, EastEnders featured its second, between Tony Hills and Simon Raymond (above). Confused Tony was dating Simon’s sister Tiffany but was unable to resist his urges on a trip to Blackpool.
