10 Years Ago This Week in the Soaps: June 3
Remind yourself of all the drama that went on in the soaps - Corrie, Emmerdale, EastEnders and Hollyoaks - 10 years ago this week. So much has changed but so much is the same!
Corrie
Carla Connor (Alison King) confronted husband Paul (Sean Gallagher) about using prostitutes after rifling through his bank statements and sussing that Leanne Battersby (Jane Danson) had been working as an escort. Paul insisted he hadn't had sex with Leanne, but Carla demanded a divorce.
Paul blamed Leanne for everything, bundled her into the boot of his car and told her they were going to see her boyfriend and his brother, Liam (Rob James-Collier) and tell him she was a prostitute. He then took her on a wild drive that ended in a horrific crash…
Liam raced to the scene in time to see Paul being cut from the wreckage. Tragically he never made it through surgery and died, leaving Carla a widow.
Leanne was pulled from the boot, concussed and bruised. A bitter Carla told Liam that Leanne was a hooker and had slept with Paul, which Leanne denied. But Liam was devastated and shut Leanne out of his life…
