BAFTA Best Continuing Drama Nominations
EastEnders
Corrie Casualty Holby City All grab a nomination this year. EastEnders will likely be Carol's Cancer or Johnny being Gay Reveal. Corrie will be Hayleys Death i would have thought. |

Very disappointed ED isn't nominated, yet Casualty, which I personally think turned into total rubbish last year, is nommed.
Nothing for Doctors either. I don't watch it myself, but it appears to consistently perform brilliantly in its slot as a daytime soap. |

I have caught Episodes of Casualty and Holby lately and been impressed by both. Remember its Based on a storyline/number of episodes. I suppose they could have put forward the Cameron storyline or The Eating Disorder plot. |

A nomination for Corrie but none for Emmerdale.
Emmerdale is considerably more watchable than Coronation Street the moment. |

Apparently the nominations cover January-December 2013 so Johnny coming out on EE will not be in the frame. My guess is Christmas Day, Michael's murder or Roxy / Alfie's wedding.
Or the snake in Dot's handbag. Classic television drama. |

Many a time Doctors blows the other soaps out of the water (Even EastEnders) and shows things they wouldnt dare but it never gets a mention at BAFTA. It has won a few RTS awards though.

Looking at the rules, each soap/continuing drama (i.e more than 20 episodes in a year) submits one episode and then if nominated they can submit up to 2 hours of programming, which shouldn't be consecutive episodes.
If I were EE I'd go with Kat and Whitney's episode, the episode after Michael's murder and Christmas Day. I've never agreed with this though, even when soaps are at their lowest they can always pull it out of the bag for one episode at least, so just looking at one episode, or a couple, will never tell you much about a soap as a whole. |

Oh right, I didn't know that. I suppose even Casualty must have had one good ep in the whole of last year. I probably missed that one.

It's why who ever wins only a small number of the cast attend (the ones involved in that storyline) |

I don't think they can run like that. I think the episodes submitted have to be based on the same storyline however they don't have to be consecutive episodes as you stated.

8. SOAP & CONTINUING DRAMA It says "this should show the range of the programme being considered" surely that wouldn't be possible if all episodes came from the same storyline.
• A drama transmitted for a minimum of 20 episodes throughout the year. • Only one episode of a series (of no more than one hour in duration) may be entered and uploaded for members’ viewing. • The entered and uploaded episode cannot be a special: the episode selected must be fully representative of the series. 9 • If shortlisted: up to two hours of programming may be uploaded. These must be whole programmes as broadcast (without commercial breaks) and, where possible, this should show the range of the programme being considered and should not be consecutive episodes. |

From the rulebook:

The problem is when looking at past winners you see they win from a 'storyline' the clips shown are from one certain storyline but from different episodes. |

I personally think that HC and Corrie have both taken a real downturn in the last 9 months or so but I guess they were still good at the beginning of last year. It does seem nuts Emmerdale isn't there though as it was by far the best soap for most of 2013. |

Interesting. It actually sounds from that that they're looking for the exact opposite of one sl. More that they want to initially see one ep that represents the show generally, ie some drama, some comedy etc just to give them the overall flavour of the show.

That is exactly as I understand it. They want an episode that best represents a 'normal' edition - what you can expect to view most weeks a year with a cross section of stories, characters. Not an episode that is the climax of one plot or only features a few characters as opposed to the 20 or so you could expect usually. So for example, in HC you'd want an episode that features all 3 Wards, 3 disparate Patient of the Week stories, all set within the Hospital. Not say an episode like 13 this year which only involved 4 main characters, one of whom couple was giving birth and another couple who'd gone back to his university for a reunion. Very character introspective heavy and very, very good but not representative of a 'standard' episodes as it was location filmed and had no POW stories.
(I fear Dan2008 has been leading me astray again).

I wish they would announce the episodes put forward as well as the soaps. Until the night we never know what they are nominated for.

Yes exactly. Which actually makes a lot of sense. Anybody can come up with one ep full of the drama and excitement of one particular sl, (with the Baftas in mind), so of course any award should try and reflect the general quality of the show over 12 months).
