How many real life soap couples from the past 60 years can you think of who met for the first time on the series?
 

James from London

International Treasure
Angie Watts and Lofty, Kathy Beale and Wicksy, Mary the Punk and Ali.

Emmerdale has lots of real-life couples. I even wonder who will get together next.

David & Debbie
Brenda & Eric
Cain & Rhona
Victoria & Ross (although, they just broke up)
Daz & Kerry
Paddy & Sandra

And....
Vanessa & the shows producer Kate Brooks.

Stephanie Davis (Sinead) and Owen Warner (Romeo) from Hollyoaks are currently dating.

From Corrie, Billy the vicar and Daniel Osbourne were a couple for a while. Also, Sarah Platt & Jason Grimshaw.

Going way, way back to the original Crossroads, onscreen couple David & Barbara Hunter (Ronald Allen & Sue Lloyd) were married after meeting on the show.

In Emmerdale, Claire King (Kim Tate) was married to her onscreen stepson Peter Amory (Chris Tate). While their marriage was on the rocks, he had an affair with co-star Samantha Giles (Bernice).

From EastEnders, Laura Beale & Gary Hobbs were married in real life for a while.

Ronald Allen (David Hunter) and Sue Lloyd (Barbara Brady, later Barbara Hunter) met on Crossroads and fact imitated fiction when their characters married and the actors married in real life.

Rory Douglas-Speed is also in a relationship with co-star Nadine Mulkerrin. Their characters were involved onscreen when his character quit the priesthood for her character, before going back. Anna Passey got involved with co-star Nick Rhys.
