10 Years Ago This Week in the Soaps: 3 December
Remind yourself of all the soap drama that was happening in Corrie, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks 10 years ago this week!
Corrie
Steve McDonald and Michelle Connor got into the festive spirit when they shared a kiss under the mistletoe. But Steve's mum, Liz, was less than impressed when they locked lips and lingered in an embrace for just a moment too long.
Tricky Tracy Barlow's plan to get revenge on love rat boyfriend Charlie Stubbs continued to take shape when she staged a bitter argument between them... and she ensured that all of her neighbours could hear it. The concerned friends feared for Tracy and called the police. Nice work...
Audrey Roberts and Bill Webster took their golden oldie romance a stage further when she invited him to stay the night!
EastEnders
Kevin Wicks and his kids, Dean and Carly, and Denise Fox and her girls, Chelsea and Libby, left Albert Square for a seaside break in a cottage. Once there, though, they attracted the attention of a mysterious stranger, who turned out to Shirley Carter... Kevin's ex and Dean and Carly's mum! Kevin, obviously, was less than pleased to see the ex who abandoned both him and their children.
