* FuneralBanishment: Subverted in 2004 with the fallout between Todd and Sarah. Shortly after the death of his newborn son Billy, he (and to a lesser extent, Eileen and Jason) was expected to stay away from the funeral due to feuding with his former fiancée and the child's bereaved mother and her angry family. While he does eventually show up and many of the guests are shocked or grimace in response, David shouts at him [[GetOut to leave]] and blames him for the death (as he had just came out as gay and was carrying on an affair with another man, which severely stressed Sarah out, albeit the pregnancy was already risky). While his family members broke up the fight, the Grimshaw family was allowed to stay as the other mourners gave them their privacy to say goodbye.

** Curly Watts rival Anne Malone tries to frame him at their place of employment, the Bettabuys market, and ends up dying after getting locked in a cold freezer with no one to let her out.
** Resident BigBad (and [[VillainousFriendship close friend of Steve [=MacDonald=])]] Jez Quigley has Steve beaten up, gets himself assaulted by Steve's Dad Jim, then dies of a punctured lung as a hospital patient whilst trying to smother his still also hospitalized rival.
** Possibly the most embarrassing death was Lesley Kershaw's, the Alzheimer's-affected wife of fireman Paul. While trying to fix herself toast for breakfast, she accidentally electrocutes herself on the old toaster. Made worse is how he had specifically not intended to leave her alone, in fear of something like that happening in the first place.

** Audrey Potter (later Roberts) is introduced as a flighty, man-hungry woman who had devoted little time to raising her daughter Gail. Via a stint as a comedy snob when married to the local mayor, Alf Roberts, Audrey eventually evolved into a strong-willed matriarch and devoted grandmother. Unlike some characterisation changes, this has been referenced several times by Gail, with Audrey generally acknowledging that she is a better grandmother than she was a mother.

* TrueArtIsIncomprehensible: Played with in an episode. Toyah Battersby, an art student, tries to pass off her slovenly stepfather Les' chair, covered in debris such as empty beer cans and old cigarette stubs, as her art project to her tutor. He tells her about an occasion where he had a student who tried to pass off a pile of bricks as his art project, which the tutor didn't buy, and he failed him. He then asks Toyah to explain how her "project" is anything other than a ratty chair covered in rubbish. She improvises a pretentious explanation about how it represents the British working class, which the tutor doesn't buy, until he sees Les for himself, and agrees it ''is'' an accurate representation of him, which causes him to not only give her a high grade, but also recommend her project for an exhibit. It's particularly funny because Toyah ''literally'' threw the whole thing together at the last minute using the first things that came to hand, because she had neglected her project until only moments before the tutor turned up at her house.

* TheFarmerAndTheViper: Hope's childhood psychopathy plot has elements of this because she's the daughter of a serial killer and inherited his psychopathy through genetics. Even though Fiz swears up and down that Hope's not like John and just a normal, bad kid... who enjoys starting fires, abducted a boy, lies constantly, and enjoys the idea of hurting people.
