Killer Soaps

We'd like to raise the subject of the TV soap, thrilling for some as they may be, perhaps they go over the top sometimes?
Take this condensed example taken from "Hollyoaks": soemone drives a minibus into a wedding marque (we have no idea why they did this). The marque then collapses  (presumably killing some people somewhere). A lone woman  survives the crushing, then tries to walk away when the bus explodes and she is hit by a flaming door, which instantly kills her.

If that's not over the top I don't know what is (apart from that episode where someone is miraculously wearing a bullet proof vest when they're shot...?)
Not that kind of soap! 
We would like to apologise for the appalling joke above, the person responsible has been sacked.
