Soaps are known to sometimes end up tackling the same sorts of storylines around the same time.
But eagle-eyed soap fans have noticed that all four major soaps in the UK are currently airing the exact same storyline at once.
Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks are all running a version of a secret child returning for revenge as an adult.
In Coronation Street Jade is currently unleashing hell on her unsuspecting former step-mum Fiz Stape by trying to get her daughter Hope taken away from her.

Jade is the secret daughter of serial killer John Stape, Hope’s biological half sister.
Likewise in EastEnders Leo King turned up in Albert Square wanting revenge on behalf of his dad, paedophile Tony King.
He hatched a bizarre plan to infiltrate Tony’s victim Whitney Dean’s life and trick her into making a false confession that she lied about what Tony did.
Leo’s plan ultimately failed and backfired when he realised Whitney had been telling the truth, something that happened in Emmerdale.
Over in Emmerdale Nate Robinson embedded himself in his biological father Cain Dingle’s life and took revenge by seducing his wife Moira.
