13 times soap weddings ended in total disaster

Publicado: 2016-11-29


EASTENDERS sisters Ronnie and Roxy Mitchell are set to bow out in dramatic style with a wedding day bloodbath.

It will be the latest entry in soap’s grisly wedding album of horrors, as Til Death Do Us Part is a line that has inspired some of the nation’s favourite characters to cause mayhem.

Ronnie, who is played by Samantha Womack (43), is set to be killed off in a dramatic episode that will see her die trying to save her sister Roxy, played by Rita Simons.

The explosive BBC episode, which will air in the New Year, will see Ronnie saying ‘I do’ to Jack, played by Scott Maslen, for the second time. But it will all go horribly wrong.

But where does it compare in the long list of soap wedding disasters?

The marquee hosting Toadfish and Sonya’s wedding collapsed after a gas bottle exploded.

Emmerdale’s Chas Dingle doesn’t take prisoners when she’s angry.

Home and Away’s wedding explosion (2006)

It was the wedding of super couple Jack Holden and Martha McKenzie. Inviting most of the town for the event, the community was also rejoicing in the aftermath of the return of the Summer Bay stalker, who had finally been captured. In true Home and Away fashion, Zoe (the stalker) had inside help and crashed the wedding, bringing with her an explosive wedding present for the bride and groom. Peter Baker was trapped and ‘died’.

Matilda was badly burnt and left with scars that caused her to develop an eating disorder. Rachel’s elderly mother also lost her life, while Martha, Kim, Robbie, Kit and Belle were sent to the city for burns treatment. However, their helicopter crashed and they were left stranded in the bush.

A stiff one in EastEnders (2005)

When Albert Square resident Sharon Watts tied the knot with Dennis Rickman (left), she was pretty cross that dad Den was not there.

That certainly put a dampener on the big day.

Dynasty wedding massacre (1985)

One of the best-loved soap tragedies was the blood-soaked wedding of Amanda Carrington to Prince Michael of Moldavia.

The fairy tale event was marred by the arrival of armed revolutionaries who attacked the wedding party, with only action man Dex Dexter to try to protect them.
