Members NothinButAttitude Posted March 30, 2015 Members Share Posted March 30, 2015 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted March 30, 2015 Members Share Posted March 30, 2015 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).

Members BetterForgotten Posted April 27, 2015 Members Share Posted April 27, 2015 You're cute with all those Emmerdale predictions, Mikey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted April 27, 2015 Members Share Posted April 27, 2015 They aren't predictions. I'm well aware Emmerdale will be lucky to get even one award. But if these awards were true to the actual best, Emmerdale would fly supreme, no question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted April 27, 2015 Members Share Posted April 27, 2015 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.

Members Bright Eyes Posted April 27, 2015 Members Share Posted April 27, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TimWil Posted April 27, 2015 Members Share Posted April 27, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bright Eyes Posted May 18, 2015 Members Share Posted May 18, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 18, 2015 Author Members Share Posted May 18, 2015 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...
