Soapland’s stars were out in force on Saturday (28 May) night, for the annual British Soap Awards - but who won on the night?
It was a closely-fought contest between the shows, who have each left viewers stunned on many occasions during the last 12 months, but it was ‘Emmerdale’ that triumphed, winning the highly-coveted Best Soap accolade, along with four other prizes.
Danny Miller scooped the Best Actor prize, following his success as Aaron Livesy, along with the Best Male Dramatic Performance Award.
Val’s ‘Emmerdale’ death scooped the Scene Of The Year prize, while the Tony Warren Award for off-screen achievement was scooped by casting director James Bain.
‘EastEnders’ also won five accolades, including Best Storyline for Stacey Branning’s post-partum psychosis, and ‘Coronation Street’ was just behind its rivals, with four awards, while ‘Hollyoaks’ and ‘Doctors’ each took one prize each.
