Members DRW50 Posted May 15, 2011 Members Share Posted May 15, 2011 Nice to see Jane accepting her award. I hope we get to see more of the Eastenders cast winning, and certain Corrie actors and a few Emmerdale actors pulling faces in the audience. The few photos available so far suggest a lot of bad fashion choices for EE ladies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted May 15, 2011 Members Share Posted May 15, 2011 I guess she has to do something to take attention away from her acting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yrfan09 Posted May 15, 2011 Members Share Posted May 15, 2011 I'm a pleased with som of the winners but most of all for Hollyoaks' Emmett Scanlan he so deserved his wins he's by far the standout star from the show over the last year and has added such a spark to the show. I'm also ecstatic for Jane Danson's win she's deffo the best actress on Coronation Street and gave such a real and heartbreaking performance during the live ep last year, I just wish that she had got the Best Actress nom over Kat Kelly. Also I don't think that the tram crash should have won spectacular scene because for me it was too CGI and although was an epic scene looked quite fake whereas the others felt so real when watching them and had more of an intense and realist feel about them.

Members DRW50 Posted May 15, 2011 Members Share Posted May 15, 2011 The biggest problem with the tram crash was that it became a joke so quickly. The Sun tore it apart, and a lot of fans laughed at the reactions from Ken. I would have given it to Emmerdale's train crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yrfan09 Posted May 15, 2011 Members Share Posted May 15, 2011 I agree the spectacle of tram crash and the drama that unfolded afterwards was great but, for me I just LMAO when I first saw it, it looked so much like a dinosaur and rollercoaster that it had no realist effect or impact. But I agree Emmerdale's train crash should have won all of those scenes were so intense and it looked/felt so real plus it was more of a plausible thing that could happen. The Hollyoaks lift shaft drop was also really good because it was a real subtle stunt/effect and not to OTT that overshadowed the emotion of the scenes following that were more important to the episode and plot. It was like some extra to add to the show rather than becoming the main aspect of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted May 15, 2011 I must be in the minority, becuase every time I see Scanlan on, I have the urge to never watch Hollyoaks ever again. I find the character unwatchable, and Scanlan to be hideously campy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted May 15, 2011 Members Share Posted May 15, 2011 I felt the same way, but honestly, you (generally), or at least I, grow to like him and all his quirks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yrfan09 Posted May 15, 2011 Members Share Posted May 15, 2011 Back when he first started I would've agreed with you as I felt that the character was a bit of a lose thread on the show and weak but since they've addressed some of his back-story and added these complexities to him he now one of my fav characters. Also I feel that Emmett plays him brilliantly I just love all the quirks that have become such a key part of the characterisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted May 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted May 15, 2011 I could maybe understand him winning the Newcomer award, but Best Villain is a huge WTF to me. I don't find him to be that menacing or that great of a pot stirrer. The newcomer award is often a here today, gone tomorrow award. I can't think of anyone other than Jessie Wallace that's won it that went on to have a huge impact on their respective shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 15, 2011 Members Share Posted May 15, 2011 I guess they just wanted to award him, and the category didn't matter to them, but the "Best Villain" also confuses me, because aside from a month or two when they were supposedly planning to kill Brendan off, he has never been written as a villain.

Members dannigold Posted May 15, 2011 Members Share Posted May 15, 2011 Apparently somebody voted for him 900 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted May 19, 2011 Members Share Posted May 19, 2011 Going to be watching the show soon, but I heard that Jessie Wallace told Jane Cox she should have won in her acceptance speech. It's good to know even she thinks her nomination is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 19, 2011 Members Share Posted May 19, 2011 That was very gracious of Jessie, especially since she always faces a lot of criticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
