10 Years Ago This Week in the Soaps: September 24
Remind yourself of all the drama that was happening in Corrie, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks this week 10 years ago. Doesn't time fly!
Corrie
Shelley Unwin dropped a bombshell when she told mum Bev that she was pregnant and ex-lover Charlie Stubbs was the dad, after a one-night stand. Bev confided in mate Deirdre Barlow, forgetting Tracy was now involved with Charlie, and Deirdre felt she had to pass the baby news on to her daughter. Tracy lost no time getting into a fight with Shelley. Charlie also threatened Shelley, but she refused to have an abortion.
Elsewhere, Frankie Baldwin decided her relationship with Liam Connor just wasn’t worth the hassle...
EastEnders
Newly-released from prison, Owen Turner turned up in Albert Square drunk and when scared daughter Libby locked herself in her room, he turned on his mum Liz and knocked her to the floor. When she came round Liz realised Libby was missing. Owen drove Libby into the countryside and in dramatic scenes that followed, Libby was narrowly saved from drowning and Owen ended up back behind bars.
