I know a lot to people are up in arms about HO winning but i really think they deserved it.
Makes up for the fact Steph Davis (stupidly, imo) didn't win anything, and yeah, the quality dipped but some of the episodes in the past year have been absolutely fantastic
Theresas exit, Dougs death, Leannes death, Dodger and Will, Patrick and Maxine, Katys death and Sinead in general over the past year or so, the whole Sienna story, the Browning story, I could go on.
Yes, HO can be far fetched but personally thats why I love it, and when its at its best its at its best and the acting really represents that. especially Steph Davis, Jess Fox, James Sutton, Keith Rice, Kieron Richardson, Ashley Taylor Dawson, Nikki Sanderson, Anna Passey have really shone over the past year or so
And for all those sneering and saying its because of multiple accounts, lets be fair, I'm sure more then one soaps fans have been doing that so that excuse is just a load of rubbish!
HO always seems to be the victim of snobbery here just because some of its stories are a little out there, so i couldn't be happier they won. Sure, the year definitely wasn't perfect, but there were some definite highlights!

See for me, Steph Davis is one of the most raw, honest actresses in soap at the moment. Through all this Katy story she's had me crying every single time, and is extremely relatable.
No doubt Julie was good but i feel like that story dominated the awards more out of love for the characters then the actually story itself, because although parts were good, I found Hayley pretty unlikeable for about two thirds of it!
RE the voting, HO have a max of about 1 million viewers, the other soaps 5-8, even block voting can't be that extreme and if so i can guarantee it wasn't just the HO fans at it
Julie is 10x the actress Stephanie Davis is, I can guarantee you its block voting and fake email accountings and deleting cookies and caches off web browsers, if we're truly judging on Best Soap, Emmerdale would be out of sight.
Opinion I suppose, i like Julie as an actress but i hated the way they wrote Hayley at the start of that story and for me it really didn't ring true for the character.
I think Stephanies performance with the Katy story has been fantastic, but thats just my opinion on things!
And if its a load of teeny boppers I highly doubt they know how to be deleted cookies and caches off web browsers. And again, teeny boppers do not just vote for HO, people just like to pinpoint HO because it has a younger audience. Ive seen plenty of twitter accounts for Eastenders and Corrie too, the soaps who have 5 times the viewers. That just doesn't match up as an excuse.
Schofield said 3 million votes were cast, Hollyoaks gets 900K-1M compared to the big three who get on average 6M-7M, plus they don't release the figures, somethings up to me.
So going by those figures the fans of the big three just didn't bother voting.
Ok sorry i'm a little confused as to your meaning my tired brain not computing i'm afraid.
I do agree about Emmerdale, that and Hollyoaks are the only soaps i'm still watching.
Gave up on EE years ago it became to depressing with dark dingy sets. I have read on here that it's getting alot better lately so I might give it another go.
Prove it!
100 th time I 've said this tonight Hollyoaks is watched by a total of 3m people.
