Is This The Greatest Soap Plot of All Time?

There has been many an absolute cracker of a storyline down the years on the soaps, some that have had the whole country talking and others that have had us glued to the telly waiting to see how they would play out.

Well now the number one storyline of them all has been revealed, as voted by soap fans in a survey for OnePoll.com, and it's certainly a good'un.

It's EastEnders who has clinched it for their Kat/Zoe storyline in 2001 which culminated in that now iconic scene of Zoe screaming; "You ain't my mother" to which Kat replied 'Yes, I am!' (We're not doing it justice.)

For those of us that had waited months upon months for this revelation, it was one hell of a satisfying moment and definitely our favourite 'doof doof' to date.

Coming in at number two was of course serial killer Richard Hillman in Coronation Street, followed by Hayley Cropper's cancer and subsequent death last year in at number three.

John Sewell, spokesman for paid survey site OnePoll.com which commissioned the research, said: "The Kat and Zoe storyline is something most people are familiar with, even if they aren't an avid EastEnders fan.

"It had everything a great soap storyline needs - a blazing row, some tears and a huge shock just as the episode comes to a close.

"There have been many brilliant and gripping storylines over the years - whether they are tearjerkers like the moment Hayley died in Coronation Street or high drama like the live tram crash.

"Soaps are a huge part of our culture and these results show the storylines are remembered years after they are first screened."

Other storylines that feature on the list are Dirty Den getting shot in 1989 (no.4) and the 2001 Coronation Street tram crash at number five.

While the most recent 'Who Killed Lucy Beale?' story came in at number seven, with other mentions on the list including 'Who Shot Phil' in EastEnders, Tyrone's domestic abuse storyline in Corrie and the Emmerdale plane crash back in 1993.
