And when the writing is done right, we see incredible couples take over the Dales.<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle-1st\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>But quite often in soaps, storylines tend to go down a route that makes no sense. And our favourite couples often find themselves torn apart.<\/p>\n<p>Just this week this was the case with the adored Emmerdale couple, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/tag\/cain-dingle\/\">Cain<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/tag\/moira-dingle\/\">Moira<\/a>. As he waited for his wife to get through brain surgery, Cain found himself drunk and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/2024\/11\/20\/emmerdale-why-cain-sleeping-ruby-worst-decision-soap-couldve-made\/\">sleeping with Ruby<\/a>, his brother\u2019s wife.<\/p>\n<p>Our guess is when Moira finds out (which is inevitable in soap world), it will tear the couple apart once again. And for another useless reason. Soaps need to also show happy long-term relationships.<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:min-h-[300px]\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"ad-slot1\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>So here is a round-up of some happy couples that found themselves ruined by storylines.

When the couple first met in 1996 they were instantly taken with each other. Two years later, they tied the knot.<\/p>\n<p>They were the heart and soul of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvguide.co.uk\/emmerdale-insider\/2024\/06\/25\/dingle-family-tree-emmerdale-biggest-family-zak-cain-chas-charity\/\">Dingle clan<\/a>, and a truly loved couple through the entirety of the Emmerdale fanbase. For years they were two characters who always put each other and their family first, and wouldn\u2019t dream of anything else. Until Zak\u2019s bizarre affair.<\/p>\n<p>In a storyline that still confuses everybody, Zak strayed from his true love Lisa, and embarked on an affair with Joanie Wright in November 2015.<\/p><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<p>In true soap fashion the affair was revealed on Christmas Day, temporarily marking the end of Zak and Lisa. The storyline event went as far as Zak and Joanie getting married. But three months into their marriage, Zak finally had the realisation he made a huge mistake.<\/p>\n<p>While the couple reunited and stayed by each other\u2019s side up until Lisa\u2019s tragic death, fans never fully saw them the same way again. And that\u2019s because it was an entirely avoidable plot that made no sense.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16474\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16474\" style=\"width: 3876px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16474\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shutterstock_editorial_13651797as.jpg\" alt=\"Chas and Paddy stroll around the village together\" width=\"3876\" height=\"3335\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shutterstock_editorial_13651797as.jpg 3876w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shutterstock_editorial_13651797as-1024x881.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shutterstock_editorial_13651797as-150x129.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shutterstock_editorial_13651797as-768x661.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shutterstock_editorial_13651797as-1536x1322.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.emmerdale-insider.com\/uploads\/2024\/11\/shutterstock_editorial_13651797as-2048x1762.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3876px) 100vw, 3876px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16474\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chas and Paddy before their breakup (Photo by ITV\/Shutterstock)<\/figcaption><\/figure><div class=\"dbxgas:ad-container dbxgas:double-mpu-container dbxgas:block dbxgas:md:hidden\"><div class=\"dbxgas:slot\" data-ad-slot=\"inarticle\"><\/div><\/div>\n<h2>Emmerdale couples 3: Chas and Paddy<\/h2>\n<p>This Emmerdale couple kept finding their way back to each other.
