While its Manchester rival gears up for a 50th birthday party, EastEnders has been celebrating 25 years onscreen, and adds another prize to its tally with our Best Soap award sponsored by Daz. Fans were gripped when the show went live back in February, and the mystery surrounding Archie’s demise had viewers gripped. Now fans are bracing themselves to say goodbye to Peggy, and start a new chapter in the show’s story.
'EastEnders is real. I think we deal with certain issues very well – controversial issues that actually represent what life is really about,' says Nina Wadia, who plays Zainab Masood, about EastEnders' appeal.
