Soap Awards - notable absences & ommisions
Watched the shenanigans on ITV1/2 last night (woeful attempt by ITV2 BTW) and have to ask why half the cast of "Corrie" stayed away.
By my reckoning none of the following characters were present Ken & Deirdre, Peter (nominated) Blanche, Fred & Ashley, Todd, Betty, Janice, Dev & Maya, Gail, Nick, David, Martin, Audrey, Kevin, Rosie, Sophie, Tyrone, Jack, Vera, Ciaran (nominated) and all the Harrises except Katy. That's just off the top of my head and does not include the new Baldwins despite the fact that a similarly yet-to-appear Leanne WAS there. Did they get tipped off they weren't on the winners' podium and decide to do their hair that night instead or do they just not attend these dos? Also I felt Richard Fleeshman should have been nominated in the Young Actor category - a definite oversight. Natalie Cassidy looked rather embarrassed to win this year and admitted she would turn 21 (thus out of the running) 2 days later. THo I don't watch "Emmerdale" I thought the lad from that was the best of the nominees (Sam Aston will prob walk it next year). Any other ommissions or oversights and any conspiracy theories to back them up? G |

Audrey definitely has attended in the past, as she's given speeches - and was very funny as I remember.
I can't believe there wasn't a nomination from Coronation Street for best comedy peformance. |

I think Corrie have had some fantastic comedy performances over the past year- like Kirk's Eminem impression, for example!

[quote=Cakeymoo]I thought the Corrie cast who were there was a strange selection... we had people like Harry and Sonia (who has never actually had a storyline to my knowledge) QUOTE]
Sonia storyline - set up to try to get off with Martin (?) at the Harris's barbecue. They were both very drunk, remember that one? |

Jack Shepherd A.K.A David Platt didn't go cos he said it is rubbish and fixed, I think that will go for tha majority of members who aren't fussed.

Any other ommissions or oversights and any conspiracy theories to back them up? G Rather than Richard Fleeshman I think the actress who plays Fiz should have been nominated. If Natalie Cassidy meets the age limit, I am pretty sure she would too. At first she was a kind of comical character but recently she has been very good in the scenes with Cilla and really touching in the scenes with Chesney. And Fiz and Kirk could easily have been up for best on screen partnership, although Roy and Hayley deserved to win. I thought Wendi Peters who plays Cilla was robbed. Nigel Harman is a good looking guy who has practically single handedly kept EastEnders watchable if only for the sheer eye candy, but Wendi acts him off the screen. With EE winning best soap, I think overall the only categories that should be voted for by the public are the Sexiest Man and Woman. The panel who voted for some of the awards should vote for them all, that way all the deserving winners would win. |

Daz ![]() Considering that most of the people who gave out awards are 'ITV Stars' it is much more likely to be fixed for them, after all it is shown on that rabble. |

Probably the limited space may result in many of the non-attending stars. Most likely each soap was offered so many seats and discussions would have been made to see who would go.
Jack P Shepard has as much right as anyone to an opinion, regardless of his age. Please tell me how Jessie Wallace was voted sexiest female ?! |

Exactly, and the cast of Corrie have to travel down from Manchester as well, so if they do have filiming to do then they wouldn't have been able to go and come back in time.
