January 18, 20223 yr Author The quality of soaps has declined across the board and I hate that some storylines just scream "awards bait", but I do still have a soft spot for the BSA albeit completely for nostalgic reasons. I like watching the montage at the beginning and seeing who receives Lifetime Achievement Award. I'm guessing Chris Chittell (Eric Pollard) could receive it this year - he's the longest serving actor on Emmerdale and it's the show's 50th anniversary later this year - but I'd love to see Gillian Taylforth (Kathy Beale) receive it, which could also be likely given EastEnders will probably receive little to no awards elsewhere. I imagine Coronation Street will easily take home Best Soap and, from what I have seen, is by far the most deserving.

April 26, 20223 yr I love Linda Henry but leading performance? Really? I think it’s probably for her scenes of when she found out Tina was dead . I do think Toby Alexander who plays Gray should have maybe been nominated instead but I assume he’ll be in the Villain Of The Year category .
April 26, 20223 yr I think it’s probably for her scenes of when she found out Tina was dead . I do think Toby Alexander who plays Gray should have maybe been nominated instead but I assume he’ll be in the Villain Of The Year category . I just think she’s spent most of the year doing nothing at all and even though it was good, her reaction to Tina’s death was a carbon copy of her reaction to Heather’s death. There are many great actors in EE and it’s a shame they’ve been overlooked. Also Carters for best family? Jesus.
May 3, 20223 yr I think Gillian (Jean Slater) might be a strong contender for Best Leading performance after her great performance last week .
May 3, 20223 yr Gillian was absolutely brilliant last week and nailed every single scene as did Lacey.
May 5, 20223 yr I wonder will the soap awards pay a little nod to Neighbours this year now that its ending.
May 10, 20223 yr The following have made the shortlist for Best Leading Performance Sally Carman (Abi Webster) (Coronation Street) Gillian Wright (Jean Slater) (EastEnders) Linda Henry (Shirley Carter) (EastEnders) Mark Charnock (Marlon Dingle) (Emmerdale) Paige Sandhu (Meena Jutla) (Emmerdale) Voting has now reopened to vote and will close in June http://bit.ly/3OuF0Pe

May 10, 20223 yr I feel like Eastenders have massively snubbed all of Gray’s storyline which is a shock particularly the final episode of him being caught which I think was brilliant . As much as I’ve loved all of Jean’s storyline it did just happen recently and I think could of been spread out a bit more evenly between the two .
May 10, 20223 yr Overall eastenders ruined the gray storyline, the ending was good but I felt they took away from what the storyline was originally about. Jeans storyline felt far more authentic.
May 12, 20223 yr Author The Gray storyline was awful but I have to say I really enjoyed his final week and I'd have had the last episode as Best Episode. It seemed well received on social media too but omitting anything to do with the story (bar having Gray as Villain of the Year) feels like an admission that the storyline didn't work and EastEnders don't have faith in submitting it for awards. The way that Jean's storyline has completely dominated coupled with the fact it was "Jean issue-led storyline #3 or #4" since the beginning of the Kate Oates era in 2019 (very much overkill) makes me think that this was a storyline brought in as awards-bait, knowing that nothing else would stand a chance at the ceremony this year. I think maybe EastEnders will grab one award for the Jean storyline, maybe Best Partnership, but I suspect Corrie will dominate (and rightfully so; not been watching the show but have seen clips and read the spoilers and I think they're very deserving following the portrayal of the hate crime storyline). The last few years, I've mostly been excited for Lifetime Achievement, and I'm hoping that'll go to Letitia Dean or Gillian Taylforth. I also wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of tribute to Bill Roache following his 90th birthday and, of course, there will be something for June Brown.
June 12, 20223 yr It aired last night on ITV The winners were Best British Soap (viewer voted) Emmerdale – WINNER Best Leading Performer (viewer voted) Paige Sandhu (Meena Jutla) – Emmerdale – WINNER Best Family (viewer voted) The Dingles – Emmerdale – WINNER Villain of the Year (panel voted) Maximus Evans (Corey Brent) – Coronation Street – WINNER Best Comedy Performer (panel voted) Tameka Empson (Kim Fox) – EastEnders – WINNER Best Newcomer (panel voted) Ross Boatman (Harvey Monroe) – EastEnders – WINNER Best Storyline (panel voted) Hollyoaks – Misbah's Historic Rape – Harvey Virdi (Misbah Maalik) – WINNER Best Single Episode (panel voted) Doctors – Three Consultations and a Funeral – WINNER Best Dramatic Performance (panel voted) Mark Charnock (Marlon Dingle) – Emmerdale – WINNER Best On-Screen Partnership (panel voted) Lacey Turner and Gillian Wright (Stacey Slater and Jean Slater) – EastEnders – WINNER Best Young Performer (panel voted) Millie Gibson (Kelly Neelan) – Coronation Street – WINNER Scene of the Year (panel voted) Hollyoaks – Misbah Didn't Consent – Haiesha Mistry (Yasmine Maalik), Harvey Virdi (Misbah Maalik) – WINNER Outstanding Achievement Award Letitia Dean – EastEnders The Tony Warren Award Jan McVerry Emmerdale x4 Awards Eastenders x4 Awards Coronation Street x2 Awards Hollyoaks x2 Awards Doctors x1 Award
June 12, 20223 yr I can't help but feel EE's nominations were quite narrow? 5 categories were focused on Jean, and whilst I'm glad Gillian and Lacey won an award, it doesn't shine the best light on the soap's past year.
