Vera Duckworth's death and Max and Stacey Branning's affair being uncovered have gone head-to-head as this year's best soap storyline.
The Coronation Street and EastEnders plots are vying for the accolade in this year's Inside Soap awards.
Also up in the storyline category are the death of baby Daniel in Emmerdale and Hannah Ashworth's eating disorder in Hollyoaks.
Meanwhile, actress Gemma Bissix had been shortlisted twice for Best Bitch - in her roles as EastEnders' Clare Bates and Clare Cunningham in Hollyoaks.
She is up against Alison King - Coronation Street's Carla Connor - and Jennifer Metcalfe for her role as Mercedes McQueen in Hollyoaks.
Up for Best Bad Boy as well as best actor are Coronation Street's Jack Shepherd and EastEnders' Robert Kazinsky.
Kazinsky is also shortlisted as Sexiest Male.
Editor of Inside Soap magazine, Steven Murphy, said: "The last year has seen some of soap's most blockbuster plots ever.
"From the explosive revelation of Max and Stacey's affair in EastEnders to David Platt's reign of terror in Coronation Street, it's been a rollercoaster ride.
"The year has also seen Emmerdale tug at our heartstrings with its baby swap storyline and Hollyoaks prove itself to be a real contender with record ratings and a string of hard-hitting storylines."
