NEXT week Coronation Street will delve into a shock incest plot forcing a long-hidden family secret to be exposed.

Steve McDonald’s daughter Amy has been growing closer with Ben Driscoll’s son Ollie in the ITV soap – but unbeknownst to either of them – they’re cousins.

The Sun exclusively revealed how Ben will soon be revealed as Steve’s secret brother after his dad Jim McDonald had an affair with his mum Maggie back in the 70s.

But Coronation Street isn’t the first soap to tackle incest – as these shocking storylines from other soaps prove.

Hollyoaks

The Blake family have always been a little off but nothing quite proves it like twins Dodger and Sienna Blake in the Channel 4 soap.

Separated at birth the pair found each other as teenagers without realising they were twins and one things to led another and baby Nico was born.

However after the pair reunited and discovered their twin-status, twisted Sienna kidnapped her brother and tried to seduce him.

Nico then grew up to be a serial killer and tried to kill her mother, before dying herself – twice.

EastEnders

Back in the naughties, Walford’s Lauren Branning slept with her own cousin Joey.

To be fair to the alcoholic, she didn’t know hunky Joey was her cousin at that time – but she did after.

And then continued to know as they extensively dated until his exit from Walford.

Given her dad bedded his own son’s wife, it’s hardly surprising that Lauren thought family was fair game.

Brookside

In most soaps incest is taboo and a storyline that ends but not on Brookside.

When siblings Nat and Georgia were revealed to be sleeping together things quickly took a strange twist.

The viewer backlash was such that they were swiftly written out – leaving the Close to go and live as husband and wife somewhere no-one knew them.

The only relationship casualty was their own parents who split due to the stress of well the obvious.
