No one throw anything at me, but I wasn't ever blown away by Lacey Turner. Granted I've only been watching since October, so that probably has something to do with it. I think she's a good actress, who knows how to play a lot of material. But there wasn't any times I watched her and thought, "OMG she's WONDERFUL." Congratulations to her none the less. :)

As for the rest of the EastEnders stuff, I don't know. I thought the 'Who Killed Archie?' storyline went on way to long, and the live episode was good, but nothing special.

Don't even get me start on how Owen is STILL buried in the middle of the square and NO one has even batted any eye.

Yeah, Lacey hasn't had much to do over the past couple of months. She's been backburner and and when she's on, it's always about Stacey debating whether or not to tell Ryan he's the father of her baby.

But she was thrilling in the bipolar story, which surely won her those two awards. I don't think any other actress came close last year in soaps with the work Lacey did in that story. She earned the Actress and Dramatic Performance awards, IMO. Probably the most deserving of the EastEnders wins.

I have a friend who lives in England...She went to them this year! Or maybe just her mom did, Im not sure. She posted like 100 photos from before the show, like the redcarpet or whatever, with a lot of the stars. Ill save them to my computer and try to upload some of them here, just cause they're pretty cool.

Their reactions don't seem that bad to me. A few of them are just annoyed. It's not one of those Kym Marsh reactions.

I think what must gall, and it bothers me too and I don't even work on the show, is that the panel is there to give awards which the public might not give, and instead the panel also goes for the easiest possible choices, and choices that weren't deserving. I don't think Who Killed Archie? deserved any awards. The story was made up as it went along (the details Stacey gave to Max about the killing did not even match what was shown onscreen), and then completely dropped. If that was a fan vote, fine, but why was this decided by a panel who is supposed to be above fans?

What they're basically saying is, we're supposed to help all the soaps, yet we see your soap as worthless, and we're going to hand out awards to Eastenders (and some random people from the Doctors -- which also happens to be a BBC show) no matter what the quality of their show is, no matter what you may do to improve your show.

Apparently even some of the soap insider people, like Sharon Marshall and Kris Green, were surprised Danny Miller won nothing and said others at the awards had said the same.

But hopefully the show will have more of a chance next year. I'd rather they get more viewers (although that may not be likely at this point, who knows), that's probably what helps more than awards.

Lacey Turner is a wonderful actress but I don't know why they needed to give her both awards. Unless it's as a kiss up to her, or a consolation prize for how her character was ruined.

Speaking of Kym, she was looking quite butchy at the award show. I really hope Corrie gets rid of her ass...

I'm surprised Doctors won those two awards, but it's such a small show with probably the least buzz amongst the soaps, so it's probably seen as "the little engine that could."

Both Corrie and EastEnders are or will be in transition this year with nothing particularly grand happening, which could help other soaps next year, but maybe not...

I think Lacey was deserving of both awards, out of all the EastEnders wins, I can't fault them for giving her those awards. It wasn't like she wasn't worthy of either.

I've heard a lot of people say that about how he should have won, even one of the panelists basically said it (http://blogs.mirror.co.uk/we-love-telly/2010/05/british-soap-awards-emmerdale.html), so it doesn't bother me if he says this at some after show party. He's not slamming anyone else, which Kym Marsh tends to veer towards. The whole fake modesty thing would look kind of...fake.

As for Lacey, the problem is that the last time she had any good material was last fall, and she's already won about 20 awards. I think Best Actress could have been a strong enough prize for her, it's not like she and the industry don't know how talented she is, she had almost two dozen awards to prove it.

Even some of the Doctors fans have said that one of those awards wasn't deserved. When they win that many awards 2 years in a row, I wonder whether it's seen as the little engine that could or if it's about the BBC.

Why would it be about the BBC though, since ITV airs this award show?

In terms of overall panel wins over the years, Coronation Street has won more panel awards than EastEnders, though EastEnders has more awards overall.

What awards did they think Danny would win, Best Actor or Dramatic Performance? Lacey was always going to be hard to beat for that Dramatic Performance award, IMO. Danny could have been her closest competition, but she also had a lot going for her with the bipolar story.

Scott Maslen's Best Actor win is hilarious and purely because of the fan vote. Had he won Dramatic Performance ( :lol: ), I would think something was suspect.

I think the speculation is because some think the panel members have BBC ties. A lot of people haven't commented on The Doctors at all, they just go on the statements that the panel doesn't watch Emmerdale. So if that's true, and they don't even make an effort, yet they go out of their way to support one show that won't win fan support, but they don't make any effort with another.

I think some assumed that they might give Danny Dramatic Performance since it was obvious that Lacey was going to win Best Actress. Her work in the bipolar story was excellent but was also brief and has been completely forgotten about by the show, so I don't even know if she won based on that or just being Lacey Turner. Not to mention that the panel didn't have a problem with ignoring the work from Patsy Palmer or Shona McGarty last year, so why this had to be rewarded this year, it does confuse me. It just feels like if the main choice is between Eastenders and Emmerdale, apparently it had to go to Eastenders.

I don't know. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me either way. I just think it's bizarre that they would not give Emmerdale anything, even when very questionable choices won instead. It seems like they just did not want Emmerdale to get anything; whether that was their intention or not, I don't know.

      For years I did NOT go by Laura's opinion of Luke. Today I certainly do not go by Laura's opinion that Sonny somehow is good for Port Charles. Actually when it comes to being a judge of people's characters, and the issue is Laura, I just remember Esme.

      Good point. It would provide some conflict with Jack. As much as I am not interested in Claire, I don't find it difficult to understand why she might be a bit reluctant  to commit to a guy who has already been divorced twice or is  3 times?before he is 30. That's a natural obstacle that Claire would be hesitant about. But in GC every relationship is true love and various past marriages are forgotten.

      I’m in NYC, and I can’t help but wonder if NYC prosecutors, politicians, etc. ever felt the way that Laura did, back in the 80s-90s when they were taking down the mob.  “Oooh, don’t put John Gotti in prison. The guy who comes in after him might be worse”

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Happy 18th Birthday, Sophia! I like that Tate gave her a birthday party. And that Marlena counseled him about whether or not he has feelings for Sophia, and his relationship with Holly. I like how messy Tate is and I hope he continues to be messy. He just needs to have more argument/fight scenes with Doug III

      Days just needs to work a little bit more on establishing better chemistry between Tate and Sophia, but I still think that’s mostly due to Rachel Boyd. Sometimes, I think that Sophia might secretly be scheming, but with the way RB plays it, (if that’s what they’re going for), it doesn’t seem to be working. Tate was also really sweet and dorky during the party too The drug scenes didn’t do much for me though. I don’t mind that Kevin panicked and ran off with the drug once he heard Steve and Shawn coming, but I felt like that story was the weakest part of today. But I am interested in seeing what happens next. And I couldn’t help but laugh when I noticed that Steve and Shawn had matching jackets Btw, I see Mayor Price established a quid pro quo with Xander today lol I wouldn’t mind that being more than just a plot point. It could lead to some pretty good drama if it’s handled correctly. And it would be a lot better than Xander declaring war on Sweet Bits/Chanel and Felicity.  And Stephanie, finally having her mother to confide in about her life, her relationship with Alex, etc. has been one of the best things about the Paula/Jeanne episodes. The book thing still seems very Ron/Jamey-like though, mostly because it’s so centered around Alex, sort of like how GH used to make storylines about Liz all about Finn or Franco Hopefully, Stephanie talks to Kayla about the book. I’d like to hear more of her perspective on it. I also like that Kayla and Marlena were there for each other as well. These are such better ways to use all three of them. And, we got an update about John One other thing I’ve noticed about the Paula/Jeanne episodes (except for the ones that are worked on by Jamey) is that they’re longer than Ron episodes. Episodes usually clock in at around 40-41 minutes now, as opposed to 35-37, or as short as 31. I like that.
