Yeah. They should've brought in supporting and younger categories. With the huge casts of all ages that UK soaps has, it would make sense for them to have the categories that the Daytime Emmys have seeing as they'd have people to fill them in.

But yes, I am pissed that Laurie Brett is on there but Diane Parrish isn't. She was stellar this past year. From her learning about Ian/Jane's affair to her semi-breakdown. She was good! I hate how this woman is pushed aside year after year. So frustrating....

According to Corriepedia, he last wrote for the show in 2006 (he had a hiatus from 2000-2002 though).

2006 was right around the time Corrie started to tank (and the 2000-2001 era is not regarded highly), so I guess he must have been very influential during his long association with the show.

Looking at the 2005 winners, I love that our dear Suranne Jones won Best Actress for 2 out of her 4 years on Corrie. Karen really was one of the the last times they had a character that left at her absolute peak in popularity (in fact, she was long gone by the 2005 ceremony).

Most of of it is fan voted, so it's never going to be a fair or accurate award show. I almost feel like everything should be panel-based, but obviously, that has it's fair share of issues as well.

Hollyoaks has won more BSA's than Emmerdale, that's kind of sad. The Emmerdale audience just doesn't get out or care to vote for these awards for the most part.

Also, ITV seems to do a better job of promoting Corrie for votes than Ememrdale for whatever reason.

Yes, it's sad Emmerdale doesn't get the recognition it deserves, but like with all other award shows I care about, I don't mind living in my pipe dream world when the winners I prefer lose. I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who thinks Kristen Dunst should have won Oscars for her portrayals in ALL GOOD THINGS and MELANCHOLIA, and she wasn't even nominated.

Also, I don't understand why they got rid of the Best Exit category. Seems odd.

If Deirdre Throws The Trifle wins Best Scene then that's obviously a sentimental choice and I wouldn't be too cut up about it.

I agree with you about Dunst in All Good Things, Bright Eyes. I've never been a fan of hers at all but thought she was really excellent in that. Hopefully with The Jinx phenomena more people will check out the film now.

Knowing I have to be happy with crumbs, at least the Donna story won something. If only Ryan Hawley could have won newcomer.

Kellie Bright winning one, let alone two awards, was sad. Woodyat/Metcalfe, after being nominated against Tim/Sally and Ross/Donna is just complete poppycock. And as much as I love Kerry, I have never done such a 180 on a character like I have Sally. She is the best thing about Corrie. And she's married to Emmerdale director Tim Dynevor, so my Emmerdale heart will happily allow it.

You could tell some of the cast really wanted him to win. I know they had to give The Doctors something, but it just sucks that he didn't get anything, especially since some fans have a weird personal hatred for him and playing a villain he likely doesn't get tons of fan support when he goes out...

    • 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.
    • Passions had Chad sleeping with his cousin nephew Vincent, ironically played by Daphne Duplaix (disguised as Valerie)
