10 Years Ago This Week in the Soaps: 29 October

Remind yourself of all the soap drama that was happening in Corrie, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks this week 10 years ago!

Soap fans are bound to remember these shocking storylines from this time in 2006...

Corrie

There was a catfight on the cobbles when annoyed other woman Maria Sutherland told Charlie Stubbs’s girlfriend, Tracy Barlow, the truth about their affair. Not unexpectedly, Tracy reacted badly… and violently.

Bully-boy and love rat builder Charlie, meanwhile, decided he’d had enough of devious David Platt meddling in his affair with Maria… so he lured the terrible teen to Maria’s flat, and he threatened to drown him in a bath if he didn’t keep his nose out of his business! Shame his secret was already out!

Elsewhere, Frankie Baldwin succumbed to Jamie Baldwin’s charms, then realised she had to escape the situation and pleaded with husband Danny to go to Spain.

An angry Jane Collins confronted hubby-to-be Ian Beale when she learnt he’d lied about throwing a small and intimate wedding. The argument escalated and Jane decided she’d had enough… and called the wedding off!

Honey Mitchell was still struggling to connect with Petal (as daughter Janet was then called) and her behaviour became increasingly strange. At one point, she went missing, then she collapsed onto the bed in tears when she couldn’t comfort her daughter.
