Members dannigold Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 I remember there being a foreign soap category that had Neighbours, Home and away, The bold and the beautiful and Sunset Beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted April 18, 2011 Members Share Posted April 18, 2011 Are there any rumblings about who will get the Lifetime Achievement Award? Who do you guys think it should be? Since Corrie was last year, and the Awards usually take turns, I'm guessing someone from EE may get it ... Pam St. Clement? Regardless, I'll be crossing my fingers that Richard Thorp is honoured. Also, fun fact: EE has never won Most Spectacular Scene. I thought that was interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 26, 2011 Members Share Posted April 26, 2011 Isn't Richard Thorp one of those people who usually refuses interviews and public appearances? I always assumed that's why they've never given it to Eileen Derbyshire. I'm guessing/hoping it'll be Pam St. Clement. It'd be totally strange and out the box if they gave it to someone "young" like Helen Worth, Anne Kirkbride, or even Adam Woodyatt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted May 3, 2011 Members Share Posted May 3, 2011 What was "The Betrayed"? Best Exit my a$$. I imagine that Emmett Scanlan, who seems to have become so beloved in some quarters so quickly, will probably win best newcomer. The fact that they had to nominate a woman who has a decades-long, successful career in television tells you this wasn't exactly a great year for fresh talent, IMO. I would have nominated the guy who played Connor on Eastenders. Paula Lane is the other probable winner, just because she's being hyped by the show (I think she's a generic knockoff who brings zero depth to any scene). How did this garbage get a nomination? It had approximately ONE good scene before it became vile, unwatchable, derivative camp that ruined every character involved. I would have nominated Billie's death over the baby swap story. I don't think that will win, as I think it will be seen as too hot to handle. I imagine Corrie will clean up for their stunts. Considering that stunts are the only thing Collinson knows how to do, I'm sure he will be pleased. I really hope Lindsey wins this. Jane and Clare were fantastic, Jane with some of the worst writing her character has ever had, and Clare with some hugely difficult material, but Lindsey was phenomenal, in such agonizing and complex scenes, and her work in the unfairly scapegoated Connor/Carol story was also superb. Best On-Screen Partnership again points out the weakness of current soap couples (Becky/Steve, really?). I hope Shane and Jessie win, just because they do work very well together. I think Cain/Charity lost a lot of their drive compared to what they were the first time around, and Ste/Brendan has never worked for me. It's just a lot of forced writing which tells us that if you beat your partner, you're the real victim, and it's true love. The actors don't sell it.

Members All My Shadows Posted May 3, 2011 Members Share Posted May 3, 2011 Yikes. Ima go with EastEnders for most of those. I'll be immensely satisfied with either Patti Clare or Tameka Empson winning for Comedy, DEFINITELY Lindsey for Dramatic (I like the other two ladies -- but nothing comes close to Lindsey, and shame on the panel should they pick someone else), I don't really care about the Young category (though I've always liked Ellis Hollins), Lacey for Exit, Ricky Norwood for Newcomer (funny seeing Pauline Quirke in a Newcomer category at this point), Jessie & Shane for Partnership...I don't feel right pulling for the baby switch for Storyline because that's really a 2011 thing, I wasn't impressed at all with any of the Spectacular Scene nominees (and I gave them all a watch), and obviously Billie's death should win Single Episode.

Members Bright Eyes Posted May 3, 2011 Members Share Posted May 3, 2011 Carl, I think 'The Betrayed' is probably Carl and Chas' wedding. And though I agree with you about the characters of Cain and Charity, if they submitted the episode that was basically dedicated to them and their relationship in that hotel room, then I am pulling for them all the way. It was just a wonderful half hour. Something very rare for Emmerdale these days. Comedy: Anybody but Mary. She's annoys me (as do so many Corrie characters). Since Coulson has already won before, I would love to see Claire Cooper nab the win for dramatic performance. We know damn well she has no chance for Lead Actress. Young Performance: Am I the only one that thinks Alexander Bain is completely wretched. He never knows what the eff is going on when I have seen him. Exit: Tarmey will easily win this, but I'm hoping for Shadrach's death to win. That was just a great episode all around. Storyline: These nominations are absolutely wretched, sans the Doctors, since I have no business judging there, so I guess I want them to win by default. Spectacular scene: Zzz ... Best Episode: Billie's death. Period. End of story. If 'The Betrayed' is the Carl/Chas wedding, though the episode had some good moments, it came off stitled and forced, like most everything on Emmerdale these days.

Members DRW50 Posted May 3, 2011 Members Share Posted May 3, 2011 Alexander Bain was good the first year but is now too cutesy and self-aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted May 3, 2011 Members Share Posted May 3, 2011 Well, I was only guessing. And if that's the case, what a dumb move. It should have been the wedding! Either way, EE should have this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 3, 2011 Members Share Posted May 3, 2011 I think they will give it to Corrie, just because of all the money spent and the hype over the live episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 4, 2011 Author Members Share Posted May 4, 2011 The British Soap Awards will be broadcast on ITV1, Wednesday 18th May from 8PM-10PM, and the "after party" special will follow on ITV2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted May 6, 2011 Members Share Posted May 6, 2011 I can't make sense of Ian and Jean in my head. Is she that dumb to actually believe he's actually a nice guy? I hope if they do get together eventually, she'll transform him into a human being again. However, I'm more than ready for Laurie Brett to go on her maternity leave so Ian and Jane can be over officially. And tonight was a huge reason why I despise Big Heather. What a twit. And I still haven't warmed up to the new Ben. I greatly disliked the previous actor as well, but whatever this current one is selling, I'm not buying. At least this Abi romance has saved Jay for me, for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
