    All purpose soap storyline

    All purpose soap story for use by scriptwriters when they’ve run out of ideas…

    Steve and Molly get married. There is a lavish wedding at which several humorous things go wrong.

    Three days later a stranger, David, arrives and begins to flirt with Molly. A couple of days later they end up in bed together. Pleased with his success, David, who is a recovering alcoholic, goes back on the bottle and gets drunk, insulting everyone in the street/square/pub/café including Molly, who threatens to kill him.

    After some weeks Steve finds out about the affair his new bride is having with David and also discovers that David is, in fact, a long lost brother that he never knew about. He is so incensed about the fact that his own brother could have an affair with his wife that he also threatens to kill him but by this time David has insulted and upset so many people that Steve is just the last in a long line of people who have threatened to kill him.

    A few days later David is found dead. The soap police arrive and discover that there are something like nine or ten suspects all with the motive and opportunity. The whodunit storyline goes on for several months before the killer is revealed in a shock explosive episode (preferably at Christmas).

    I'm pretty sure none of this has ever been done before...er...

    You're getting better at this Can you somehow fit a "whose the daddy?" thing in there?

    Good thinking, Abigail.

    Two months after the wedding, Molly discovers she is pregnant, but doesn't know who the father is....How's that?

    That's great Perhaps you should pitch this to EastEnders, you could make millions from it.
    Thanks CrazyLea

    The residents of the Street/Square/Close decide to hold a funfair to raise money for a member of their local football team who happens to be a one legged non white gay transexual who needs a new kidney/liver/heart. All is going well at the funfair when a long lost brother of Moly returns from up west/Leiceter/Chester/Summer Bay/Ramsey St/Congleton. While the residtents are celebrating his arrival a bolt works its way loose on the Helter Skelter causing it to collapse. A young blonde blue eyed kid with glasses is traped undeneath the structure. As the residents run around like headless chickens they wish that Ben Volts hadnt been shot by a gunman alongside the Canal all those years ago. If only Ben were alive says the portly lipstick Model in the black Leather jacket he would know what do do. Out of the crowd steps the rugged figure of previously mudered buried and cremated Ben Volts. Hello Priceless he says. The day is saved and the residents go to the PAB for a good old fashioned Eas End/Northern knees up.

    Their merry making is cut short when a loud mouthed big breasted midget in a riculous wig orders everyone out of the pub except the small boy who it turns out is in fact her latest lover.

    Now all we need to do is somehow combine the two stories and we have an award winning combination as long as we can get DI Manson and DS Carter to investigate why the bolt on the helter skelter worked loose.

    I aim to amuse.

    The soap police arrive on the scene led by Det. Ch. Supt Beth Green. They arrest Ben Volt for allegedly killing a taxi driver in Germany and for various sordid website activities and the landlady of the King Albert Meggy Bitchell for providing a false alibi for a well known East End viilan. Following an interview by the worlds greatest Detective Hercule Carter Ben Volt confesses all and says ''Its a Fair Cop Guv but society is to blame. '' So Beth Green runs around looking for society so as she can arrest them as well
