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

Jamie Baldwin was shocked when Violet Wilson told him she was pregnant with his baby, then came clean himself and told her about his affair with his step-mum Frankie. Nice one!
The Websters and the Platts were less than impressed when Audrey Roberts told Bill Webster they should give the gossips something to talk about and asked him to move in with her. Go Audrey!
