This year’s Best Soap Newcomer category is packed with rising stars who’ve made a big impact in a short time. EastEnders introduced Pierre Counihan-Moullier as Oscar Branning, winning fans with his moving storylines, while Max Murray’s Joel Marshall has already caused a stir in Walford. Over in Emmerdale, Shebz Miah (Kammy Hadiq) and Bradley Riches (Lewis Barton) have brought fresh energy to the village, while Coronation Street’s Ryan Mulvey (Brody Michaelis) has kept viewers guessing on the cobbles. Each has made a memorable debut - but who gets your vote?
Over in Best Soap Performance, it’s a battle of familiar favourites and much-loved characters. Will Steve McFadden’s powerhouse portrayal of Phil Mitchell earn him the trophy after another dramatic year in EastEnders? Could Sue Devaney’s heartfelt turn as Debbie Webster in Coronation Street take your vote? Or maybe Danny Miller’s emotional return as Aaron Dingle in Emmerdale has you cheering him on? Paul Bradley’s much-loved Nigel Bates brought warmth and nostalgia back to EastEnders, while Amelia Flanagan continues to impress as April Windsor in Emmerdale - so, who gets your vote this year?
