10 Years Ago This Week in the Soaps: October 15

Remind yourself of all the soap drama that was happening in Corrie, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks 10 years ago this week. It seems like only yesterday!

Coronation Street

Loved-up Jamie Baldwin finally plucked up the courage to tell his stepmum, Frankie Baldwin, how he felt about her. She responded with a passionate kiss and they briefly fell into each other’s arms. But Frankie worried about her actions and she told her estranged hubby, Danny Baldwin, they should give things another go.

Sally and Kevin Webster and their daughters, Rosie and Sophie, enjoyed a break in Paris. Little did they know, however, that Rosie was planning to flee to Berlin with boyfriend Craig Harris. Kevin and Sally raced to the station as the train pulled away… and they found a scared Rosie, who couldn’t abandon her family and go through with her planned exit. Craig left on his own.

Back in Weatherfield, Ashley and Claire Peacock joined the rest of the locals to say a sad farewell to Ashley’s recently departed dad, Fred Elliott.
