I really enjoyed watching the BAFTA TV awards last night, shows how much good drama we have had over the last year that's for sure.

Please for Oliiva Colman, she stole the show! 3 I think she got up for in total. Hate the EE get it every year though I think on reflection Corrie has been better this year. But oh well that's just my personal taste,

I can't understand by what definition Eastenders was the "best continuing drama", but the whole event seemed to be based on the premise that "the BBC are putting this event out on TV, so how many BAFTA's can we award to BBC programmes without looking biased"! Epic Fail!!

[Katy]

exactly! that's what I thought its definitely cause it is the BBC. I think that's why I though the Paralympics winning the sports broadcasting award was so much sweeter! you could tell by there reaction that even they were shocked!

EastEnders has received the most nominations on the soaps shortlist for the 2013 TVChoice Awards.

Meanwhile, Charlie Brooks has been nominated for her performance as Janine Butcher on the soap alongside Jean Slater actress Gillian Wright.

Coronation Street's Michelle Keegan (Tina McIntyre) and Hollyoaks' Claire Cooper (Jacqui McQueen) are also nominated for 'Best Soap Actress'.

David Witts is pitted against EastEnders co-star Khali Best, Emmerdale's Laura Norton and Marc Baylis of Coronation Street for 'Best Soap Newcomer'.

the baftas and also rts awards judge the continuing drama on a particular episode which the tv networks submit. although eastenders has not been consistently good, it does have stand out episodes and that is why eastenders won the bafta for best continuing drama.

if the award was for cheer enjoyment and entertainment then hollyoaks would have won the award!
