Over the years we have seen a good old cat fight, physical fight, rants, raves and moanings in between!

Some are petty, some are violent, some are even funny!

Which one do you fondly remember, Youtube links greatly appreciated!

    Not a physical fight but I will always love the scene where Aaron finally tells Chrissie about his affair with Robert:

    Aaron was written as the victim/hero but ended up with Robert anyway.
    He was just as cruel and deciteful, even covering up a death.

    Then Robert is in prison on a life sentence abd Chrissie is dead.

    Very well done scene. Should have been the end of Robert and Aaron though.

    Chas shoving Chloe Atkinson’s face in the trough in Emmerdale. This may have been from the same episode that features my favourite ever Chas line “just pee on the stick, bitch”

    https://youtu.be/q88TwkiEZ-Y (from 1:45 but there is a precursor at the beginning of the video).

    Eastenders: Bush Push (Stacey & Janine)

    There was a very gritty and realistic fight between Jack Sugden and Tom Merrick in Emmerdale Farm in the early 80s. It is a fight scene that always stuck in my memory.

    Shane Ramsay planting one on Paul Robinson back in 86 is one I always remember as well.

    1. Warren Fox vs Brendan Brady 1st fight
    2. Brendan Brady vs Simon Walker 2nd fight
    3. Warren Fox vs Calvin Valentine 2nd fight
    4. Sean Slater vs Jack Branning 2nd fight
    5. Phil Mitchell vs Steve Owen
    6. Zak Dingle vs Ned Glover
    7. Jim McDonald vs Jez Quigley (not really a fight as it was one sided lol)
    8. Trevor Royle vs Ben Bradley
    9. Warren Fox vs Calvin Valentine 1st fight
    10. David Platt vs Gary Windass 1st fight

    I don't include any female as they're more slaps and hair pulling

    Most soaps don't really let their characters fight it out anymore but Hollyoaks in its heyday had no problem letting their main hardmen fight it out and have produced the best fights in soap IMO

    Not 100% sure but on his way back I think. He turned up at the complex fire.

    Linda and Shirley in EastEnders during boat crash week.

    Maria getting shoved into the fountain by Eva in Corrie was a camp highlight! Sure Eva was in her wedding dress too wasn’t she :D

    Not really a a fight, but Dan Sullivan knocking out Phil, then tying him up, taunting him. proving that he was scared of dying by pulling the trigger on the gun without the bullets, taking his money and gagging him, was pure gold.

    It's a big shame that videos with that full sequence keep being taken down from YouTube.

    Drunk Linda trying to expose Janine last month and then pulling her hair.
