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...
