They now have less fan-voted awards, as the Sexiest Male/Female Awards were scrapped.

(can't say I'm sorry, the same people won over and over, and I have no desire to see Jorgie Porter or whoever would replace Tancake Face Keegan).

They have been replaced by more "issue" based awards, which scares me, as I have a feeling some horror like Maxine's disastrous domestic violence story (which basically tells women never to expect anything better in life) will win.

My votes ended up going - Natalie Anderson (I would have voted for Verity Rushworth but she hasn't been on since summer and Natalie has a better chance given her recent story)

Danny Miller (as I do think he's much improved this time around and this is likely the closest Ryan Hawley will get to winning unless that huge bore Charlie Cotton or wooden Donna on EE or some HO random doesn't win)

Emmerdale (EE will win but I don't care).

I'm really not fussed to vote as I really don't care who wins. I wonder if Hollyoaks will squeeze out a surprise win for Best Soap again. They finally broke the EE/Corrie mold last year when they won that award (which probably says something about how awful EE and Corrie were in 2013).

Flashback to 10 years ago, the winners were:

Best British Soap: Coronation Street

Best Actor: Shane Richie (Alfie Moon in EastEnders)
Best Actress: Suranne Jones (Karen McDonald in Coronation Street)
Sexiest Male: Nigel Harman (Dennis Rickman in EastEnders)
Sexiest Female: Jodi Albert (Debbie Dean in Hollyoaks)
Best Newcomer: Andrea Green (Sarah Finch in Doctors)
Best Exit: Charlie Brooks (Janine Butcher in EastEnders)
Best Comedy Performance: Maggie Jones (Blanche Hunt in Coronation Street)
Best On-Screen Partnership: John Bardon & June Brown (Jim & Dot Branning in EastEnders)
Best Dramatic Performance: Kazia Pelka (Chrissy Costello in Family Affairs)
Best Dramatic Performance from a Young Actor or Actress: Sam Aston (Chesney Battersby-Brown in Coronation Street)
Best Bitch: Kate Ford (Tracy Barlow in Coronation Street)
Villain of the Year: Sasha Behar (Maya Sharma in Coronation Street)
Spectacular Scene of the Year: Maya takes Dev and Sunita hostage and blows up the shop (Coronation Street)
Best Storyline: Gary and Chrissy Costello learn friend Bradley has been abusing their daughter Chloe (Family Affairs)
Best Single Episode: Charity and Tom's wedding (Emmerdale)
Special Achievement Award: John Stevenson (Coronation Street writer)
Lifetime Achievement Award: June Brown (Dot Branning in EastEnders)

Other random fact/stats because I'm bored:

Michelle Keegan has won the now discontinued Sexiest Female award four times in a row (the most).
Suranne Jones (Coronation Street), Kacey Ainsworth (EastEnders), and Lacy Turner (EastEnders) have won the Best Actress award twice. Martin Kemp (EastEnders), Shane Ritchie (EastEnders), and Danny Miller (Emmerdale) have won Best Actor twice.
The youngest person to win an award was Ellis Hollins who plays Tom Cunningham in Hollyoaks. He won Best Dramatic Performance from a Young Actor/Actress in 2006 at the age of 5.
Dogs have played a part in The Soap Awards on various occasions. In 2002 Edna’s dog, Bracken, in Emmerdale won the award for Best Exit, whilst in 2000, Well’ard the dog from EastEnders presented the award for Best Foreign Soap.

I guess they are pushing based on current story, but Diane does deserve to be on there over any of those EE ladies. It's too bad they don't have supporting categories.

At least they didn't shamelessly include Lacey Turner for awards bait.

    •   It's working fine now.

        Question for the B&B group: I see @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded multiple seasons from Videoland  (in the folders that are to be put away). They are huge folders and difficult to download so I started breaking them down into months but I realized they are by season so for example, Season 4 spans from March 1990 to March 1991. Now I'm wondering where to actually place them, since we have the Full Episodes section divided by year, not seasons. And most of these seasons we already have in full, so these are duplicates. Not sure if it's necessary to keep the older versions. I could just make another new section for Seasons, so the main folders would be "Behind the Scenes and Interviews," "Clips," "Full Episodes," "Full Seasons," "Music CDs," and "photo archive Marquise" but I'm not sure that really makes sense. Also wondering since we have almost every full episode now if "Clips" can be deleted in its entirety, as it's nearly 300GB.
    • CBS moving Murder, She Wrote from Sunday to Thursday was straight up sabotage. Les Moonves knew exactly what he was doing.
    • I sure hope you’re right. The lack of sets is maddening! 
    • I'm hoping that the new studio might have more space, meaning extra sets could be permanently erected. Perhaps the current  set issues are due to limited space available at Television City as it shuts down for the redevelopment. But if more space means spending more $$$ we might be stuck with the current situation no matter where they move.
    • Thanks @P.J. If my math is correct, Jordan Clarke runs were 1983-1987, 1989-1993, 1997-end.
    • I was/am mainlining both the Dream Season and Season 7 of KL together, since that was the year of their big creative swap. That's the most I can take of Dallas consecutively. But I've been very preoccupied with other shows and work IRL and I need to get back to it after a long break from my Knots binge.
    • Wk 1 95/96 MSW moves to Thurs, Cybill takes the Sunday slot. Thurs 8-9pm NBC Friends #3 20.5/33 The Single Guy #6 19.2/30 CBS Murder She Wrote #55 9.3/15 ABC Charlie Grace #74 7.6/12 FOX Living Single # 78 7.2/12 The Crew #80 7.0/11 Sunday 8-9pm NBC Mad about You # 15 14.6/23 Hope & Gloria #35 11.7/18 ABC Lois & Clark # 38 11.4/18 CBS Cybill #49 9.8/15 Almost Perfect #65 8.1/12 FOX Space Above & Beyond (2nd hr of 2hr episode) #51 9.5/15 60 Minutes was #19 so a lot of viewers didn't stay for Cybill. On Sunday, Sept. 24, CBS finished third on the night, and its performance among 18 -49 year olds was worse than it was with the older skewing Murder, She Wrote in the time period last year.  So moving MSW was a foolish move at that point. It was compatible with 60 Minutes and would probably have finished Top 20-25 for the week. They should have left Sunday alone and concentrated on other nights..
    • I’ve been watching Knots and FC rather compulsively for a while now. Currently in fall 1983 with both. I had Dallas in there, too, but I am rather shocked at how stale that show gets after Jock’s death. Meanwhile, I can spend hours in the vineyards and in the cul-de-sac.
    • What will actually change though? Does this mean the sets will be different too? Or how exactly is this gonna look like to the viewers? 
    • I'm not sure Passions is the model to emulate here.
