Emmerdale is building up to Domestic Violence (already started but due to increase). Corrie is due to have a couple of murder stories
Spoiler:
(Liam and possibly Jerry)
, also Tony is developing into a nasty bully. Just a couple of examples. And all the other soaps have storylines that are relevant to events happening in real life these days, not just EE who have harped on about an extra marital affair too long, some psycho is roaming Albert Square for far too long now, so they don't get it all right imo.
