The British Soap Awards is back and set to be bigger than ever as it looks back over another year of tears, trials, tribulations and tantrums from the nation’s biggest TV shows.

Entries from the five biggest soaps are eligible – Coronation Street, Doctors, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks – and stars from all five will don their finest on the night for what promises to be one of the award calendar’s most glamorous occasions.

Hosted by Phillip Schofield, with awards being presented by some of the entertainment worlds most famous faces, there’s everything to play for in the soap world’s ‘Oscars’.

The British Soap Awards honour outstanding achievement in the country’s most popular television genre. There are 17 awards and categories are voted for either by a panel of expert judges or by the public and include Sexiest Male and Female, Best Actor and Actress, Best Comedy Performance, Villain of the Year, Spectacular Scene of the Year, Best On-Screen Partnership and the ultimate accolade, Best British Soap which was last year won by EastEnders.

On ITV2 Michael Underwood and Angellica Bell will report on all the glamour from the red carpet and the ceremony. After the awards they will be at the Soap Awards party, celebrating with the winners, commiserating with those that missed out on glory, and getting all the behind the scenes gossip from the stars of our favourite shows.

[Perdita]

Channel 4 teen soap Hollyoaks has secured the most nominations on this year's British Soap Awards shortlist.

Released today, the list sees each of the five qualifying soaps - Coronation Street, Doctors, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks - receive the default three nods in five of the six viewer-voted categories: Sexiest Male, Sexiest Female, Villain of the Year, Best Actor and Best Actress. Also, each show is automatically nominated for Best Soap.

Winners of the remaining 11 awards - including Best Comedy Performance, Best Newcomer, Best Single Episode and Best Storyline - have been decided by a panel.

Of the 36 shortlist panel nominations, Hollyoaks featured in each of the nine categories, while EastEnders received eight nods.

Coronation Street took seven, while Emmerdale and Doctors were given six each.

Notably, Corrie failed to receive a nomination in the Best Dramatic Performance category, while Emmerdale didn't make the top four in the Best Storyline and Best Single Episode stakes.

Nominations for the Lifetime Achievement and Special Achievement awards are also considered by the panel.

The eleventh annual British Soap Awards take place at BBC's Television Centre in central London on Saturday. The ceremony will transmit on Wednesday, May 13 on ITV1.

[Perdita]

A PAEDOPHILE story has earned EastEnders FIVE British Soap Award nominations including Best Single Episode and Best Storyline.
It saw Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer) discover fiance Tony King (Chris Coghill) was molesting her stepdaughter Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty).

Patsy is up for Best Dramatic Performance, Chris got a Best Villain nod and Shona is up for Best Newcomer. Rival Coronation Street was also nominated five times.

From The Sun

[Chris_2k11]

[di marco]

my predictions (although only from ee and hollyoaks cos theyre the only 2 i watch)

sexiest male: rob kazinsky (sean slater, ee)

villian of the year: larry lamb (archie mitchell, ee) or barry sloane (niall rafferty, hollyoaks)
best actor: jake wood (max branning, ee)
best actress: jo joyner (tanya branning, ee)

best dramatic performance: patsy palmer (bianca jackson, ee)
best dramatic performance for a young actor or actress: maisie smith (tiffany dean, ee) - although i dont think she really did anything dramatic i think shes great and toms already won it
best exit: matt littler (max cunningham, hollyoaks)
best newcomer: shona mcgarty (whitney dean, ee)
best onscreen partnership: nitin ganatra and nina wadia (masood ahmed and zainab masood, ee)

lifetime achievement award: clive hornby

[Bad Wolf]

hollyoaks totally overlooked- in favour for doctors- wtf?????????

[angel_eyes87]

How on earth Hollyoaks got no awards is beyond me, I was expecting them to get at least a few. I thought that either the one who plays Tom in Hollyoaks or the one that plays Victoria in Emmerdale would have won best Young Actor, what exactly has Tiff done except look cute and sweet on TV. I thought they would have got best storyline for Nialls revenge and single episode for Maxs death. How on earth Jasmine never won Dramatic performance is beyond me. The panel needs to have a look at the shows again, because Hollyoaks was brilliant last year:thumbsdow

[Chris_2k11]

To be honest I don't think Hollyoaks has been any good for atleast six months now so im not surprised they never won anything. This is actually good for the show i think, it'll prompt it to sort itself out.

[tammyy2j]

FFS total crap winners!

Hollyoaks 0 wins :thumbsdow

Bianca/Tony/Whitney storyline and the actors involved should have won something one of the best soap storylines of the year

[Chloe O'brien]

Well at least we won't have to watch on Wednesday

When did Liam Connor defect to EastEnders? :D Can't complain as a big Corrie fan but why Babs Windsor for Lifetime Achievement Award? Would have preferred Clive Hornsby from Emmerdale to honour his memory and his brilliant acting skills

[alan45]

The Poison Dwarf winning a lifetime achievement award FFS. There are far more deserving cases than this talentless crone. She cant act. All she is capable of is being a one trick pony. What a joke.

Gerrouromypub, alan!

[Bryan]

i was about to say why the hell didn't Sam Janus win an award for best actress, and the fallout episode best episode, but i think it was too near to the awards and will probably be nominated next year!

[alan45]

Could someone please explain to me the point of ITV devoting 2hrs on Wednesday Night to the British Soap Awards when we all know the results. What a waste of time!!!!!!. It would be as bad as showing the FA Cup 3 or 4 days after the event.:wall: :rolleyes:

[Chris_2k11]

its only a couple of hours a year alan! i like to watch it all take place anyway :)

[Pinkbanana]

I agree with you, Alan. *can't believe I actually uttered those words* :eek:

[angel_eyes87]

I like to watch to see the reaction of the losers, its so funny, they try to make out that their fine, but you can see that they're bitter about losing. I want to see the faces of Hollyoaks when they realise that they have won nothing:lol: Still cant believe they didn't win anything, I know it hasn't been good for the last 6 months, but before that it was great to watch.:searchme:

[Perdita]

So these awards that went on last night...

Yep, the eleventh annual British Soap Awards were held at the traditional venue of BBC Television Centre in London and it turned out to be quite a night.

After rolling up at 4pm, we were eventually escorted to the arrivals area to prepare for what can only be described as the pandemonium that followed. This year's red carpet arrivals were the most hectic yet.

The Hollyoaks cast began showing up at around 5.30pm in, to begin with, a mostly calm and collected manner. A few Emmerdale and Doctors stars soon began filtering through and within about 45 minutes, all hell broke loose as the entire casts of EastEnders and Coronation Street piled down in force. A special thanks to James Fiddy for taking time out of his weekend to operate the camera.

Luckily, I managed to avoid being targeted by a pigeon poo this year, too, which was a bonus.

The highlight of the red carpet probably has to be the late arrival of the legendary June Brown. She ended up running around like a headless chicken backwards and forwards between fans and the press. The reason she was late? Apparently her beady dress fell to pieces on her way out of the door, so she wound up wearing a black and white two-piece number, which in her words made her "look more like she was going to the theatre".

Bedlam finally over, I headed straight into the ceremony and on the way, managed to trip over in the corridor in front of Corrie's entire Windass clan. Everything was going so well.

Filming for the awards began at around 8pm and lasted around an hour-and-a-half, during which the likes of Sir Alan's aide Nick Hewer, funnyman Lee Mack and Neighbours' Stefan Dennis made guest appearances as award presenters.

EastEnders bagged seven gongs to Corrie's six, while Doctors found themselves back on the winners' rostrum and celebrated with three awards. Emmerdale managed just one. Quite surprisingly, Hollyoaks didn't manage to pick up a single trophy, despite being nominated in every category.

Not to taint Doctors' trio of wins in any way - Vivien's rape storyline was excellent and was extremely worthy of the awards - but I can't help thinking that EastEnders' paedophile plot wasn't given the credit it deserved.

And finally, here are just a few things I picked up along the way:
§ The only two recent EastEnders cast members who are who they say they are on Twitter are Adam Woodyatt and Rob Kazinsky. Madeline Duggan and Melissa Suffield are Emma Rigby's (Hannah Ashworth) definitely leaving Hollyoaks at the back-end of this year.
§ There's a huge storyline coming up for Syed in EastEnders, but more on that soon.
§ Kat Kelly can't wait for Steve and Becky's 'much bigger and much better' wedding...
§ There's a new family headed for Emmerdale as part of the show's reinvention.
§ Larry Lamb's just returned to filming with EastEnders.
§ Nandos-loving Chris Fountain hinted that a Hollyoaks Later stint could be on the cards...
§ Anna Karen will be making a welcome return as Walford's Aunt Sal within the next couple of months.
§ Barry Sloane suggested that his Hollyoaks character Niall Rafferty might not be dead. I think he may have been joking, though. Could he really have survived that fall?
§ Glen Wallace is sticking around for a fair bit longer in Hollyoaks, but won't be appearing in this year's Later edition.
§ Apparently there's quite a big Beale storyline in the pipeline in EastEnders.
§ September's going to be a huge month for Hollyoaks. Four weeks of 'fantastic material' which includes Hollyoaks Later.
Don't forget you can watch the ceremony on Wednesday evening at 8pm on ITV1

[lizann]

crap results :angry:

I am still going to watch the show just for the loser faces :lol:

[Perdita]

Neighbours icon Stefan Dennis was stalked at this year's British Soap Awards by two obsessed fans who bought their tickets off eBay, Digital Spy can exclusively reveal.

The 50-year-old Australian actor - who has played the role of Paul Robinson since the soap began in 1985 - was invited to the annual ceremony to present the best villain award, this year won by Coronation Street's Gray O'Brien (Tony Gordon).

The unknown Neighbours obsessives, who apparently looked like characters from Little Britain, purchased their passes to the event for £250 from eBay and began taking anything and everything that Dennis touched, including his drinks and snacks.

A source told DS: "They had access-all-areas passes and literally followed Stefan around the awards all night. They heard that he was flying over and when he confirmed his attendance at the BSAs on This Morning, they bagged their tickets for about £250 from eBay."

They added: "The pair only turned up at the awards to see Stefan and they took full advantage of his presence, lifting everything he touched – his drinks, plate of snacks and even the best villain card which he read from."

The mother and daughter duo also managed to secure the best seats in the greenroom to watch the ceremony on the large plasma TV.

Another source added: "They were all over ex-EastEnders actor Rob Kazinsky all night at one point, too."

[DaVeyWaVey]

Barbara Windsor got a lifetime achievement award for playing herself.. good going!

[Jessie Wallace]

hollyoaks totally overlooked- in favour for doctors- wtf?????????

Do you watch Doctors?
It's has much better storylines, the quality is amazing, and iy's about time it got more recognision. Really happy they one 3 awards :)

[Chris_2k11]

I've never really seen Doctors but it must be doing something right as its been on years now.

[Abbie]

:eek: EE was robed for best storyline!

[tammyy2j]

Hollyoaks was definitely robbed for best villian and best storyline for Niall and his storyline (ok tie with Eastenders for best storyline Tony and Whitney)

The show was crap, the presenter was crap ( he is terrible without Fern or Holly) presenters (Jordan and Peter united front :lol: ) were crap, nominees were crap and winners were crap

Overall a crap show! :thumbsdow

These awards should be shown live as we all knew who won beforehand

[Perdita]

I agree that the show should be shown live, I don't know why this is not done. Hardly enjoyable if the winners are already known for days on end beforehand.

[di marco]

bit late, but my guesses were appalling! cant believe i only managed to guess 3 right! cant believe the tony/whitney/bianca storyline didnt win anything, i think it really should have won either best storyline or best epi. dont watch doctors but i really wanna see that storyline as it must surely have been amazing to win all those awards? cant believe barbara windsor won lifetime achievement, i couldnt believe it when it was announced, shes awful! im wondering if they only give the award to people who are still on their soaps and there wasnt many people left to choose from who hadnt already won it! and im glad she didnt make the speech for the best soap award, her not speaking for that was the highlight lol!

[di marco]

this might be sad, but i dont read who won so that i can watch the show on the wednesday and enjoy it. i dont see the point in the winners being announced before its shown

[Perdita]

But sometimes you can't avoid reading about the winners because it is plastered on the front pages of the papers and magazines or it is referred to in articles before the show has been transmitted.

[Abbie]

I never read about the winners before hand :D :p

[di marco]

But sometimes you can't avoid reading about the winners because it is plastered on the front pages of the papers and magazines or it is referred to in articles before the show has been transmitted.

thats why i didnt come on here or read anything on ds or watch any sort of news programme as i knew somewhere i was bound to see them. its quite sad i know that i went through all that not to find out but i didnt see the point in watching it otherwise

[Perdita]

Perhaps we need to be more careful on here to user spoiler tags if we are not in a spoiler thread. :)

[di marco]

Perhaps we need to be more careful on here to user spoiler tags if we are not in a spoiler thread. :)

nah dont worry about it. its not really a spoiler seeing as it has happened. i had work due in anyway so it was good i couldnt distract myself on here!

[Chris_2k11]

You've got the right idea di marco, its the same with reading all the spoilers about the soaps (although they're hard to avoid) it'd be so much better just to watch all the shows without having a clue whats gonna happen next. Sometimes I wish so much didn't leak before hand. But i can't resist reading them haha

[Jessie Wallace]

cant believe the tony/whitney/bianca storyline didnt win anything, i think it really should have won either best storyline or best epi. dont watch doctors but i really wanna see that storyline as it must surely have been amazing to win all those awards?

Definatly watch the episodes of Doctors, i'm pretty sure they are on youtube.
Wonderfully written and played out, with out too much emotion, and enough sensitivity, i still have them on my dvd incase i wish to watch again!

yeh ive stopped reading the hollyoaks spoilers although i still manage to find out some of the stuff thats happening. i tried to stop reading the ee ones but started again cos i needed to know what was happening! although it would be so much better if i didnt know! with the soap awards its easier cos i knew i only had to wait a few days. if the spoilers only came out a few days before then i could probably be able to not read them

cant believe the tony/whitney/bianca storyline didnt win anything, i think it really should have won either best storyline or best epi. dont watch doctors but i really wanna see that storyline as it must surely have been amazing to win all those awards?

Definatly watch the episodes of Doctors, i'm pretty sure they are on youtube.
Wonderfully written and played out, with out too much emotion, and enough sensitivity, i still have them on my dvd incase i wish to watch again!

thanks, if theyre on youtube ill definitely try and watch them then

I never read about the winners before hand :D :p

I only saw that Eastenders had won Best Soap, so everything else was a surprise.
