Who are the best soap actors/actresses?
I only watch EastEnders so my favourite are;
Charlie Brooks & Lyndsey Coulson. Charlie plays Janine excellently - especially when Janine go's OTT, and Lyndsey did some great acting when Billie died. Who are your favourites? |

Nina Wadia - has made the abuse storyline really emotional.
Lacey Turner - a true classic Gillian Wright - has played a bipolar disorder patient realistically and brilliantly. |

Nina Wadia really impressed me on Thursday - when she told Masood about what Yusef was doing to her it was so emotional.
Jane Cox was phenomenal as Lisa in ED this year - I think she is brilliant. |

In Neighbours Jackie Woodburne who plays Susan is a fantastic actress.
Alan Fletcher and Stefan Dennis are the best male actors by a long way. |

I think Katherine Kelly is fantastic as Becky - I'll truly miss the way she can portray so many sides to Becky.

Gillian Wright (Jean Slater, EE) and James Hooton (Sam Dingle, ED).
I saw an interview with James and was gobsmacked, he's got a fairly posh voice in real life.

EE: Steve John Shepherd and Charlie Brooks. I used to think Nina Wadia but what they're doing with her character I think is making it more difficult for her to know what to do with Zainab and same with Christian and Syed actually. Gillian Wright can be very good too.
HO: Emmett J. Scanlan is one of the best in UK soap right now. Also very, very good are Claire Cooper, Rachel Shenton, Karen Hassan and Bronagh Waugh. Andrew Moss has shown that he can handle big, dramatic scenes very well too this year. ED: I don't watch this as much but Chelsea Halfpenny has been amazing and I really like Sian Reese-Williams' acting. Jane Cox was great in what I saw of her storyline. The fact I didn't see it all because she was seriously breaking my heart shows how convincing she was and she deserved a lot more recognition (like winning best actress instead of Jesse Wallace, which was ridiculous). I don't watch CS and I don't rate the acting in Doctors. |
