Ok I imagine there is another thread on this cuz I am late to the part but: Lacey turner for best actress. For real!!!!! I am right in thinking that this was a nomination put forward BY EE???!!!??!!

So this is obviously the real reason they want Stacey back: because she wins awards undeservedly.

I actually cannot believe this tbh. How little regard do they have for their other actresses. Diane parish anyone???? I mean for god's sake even linda Henry deserves it more than turner.

I find this disgusting.

She was nominated for best actress (by EastEnders) when she had barely been back two weeks. Utterly shameless.

Bit of an overreaction, don't you think? These are awards are nothing more than free publicity for the soaps, especially the public voted awards, so of course they're going to put forward their most popular actors, even if they haven't been in it that much. She only made the shortlist because people voted for her, the producers put her up on the longlist but nobody forced people to vote for her.

I don't like it that much either but at least Lindsey Coulson still made the shortlist, and it's not really worth getting worked up over.

Diane Parish was up but she sadly missed out on the shortlist. Lindsey Couson thankfully made it through but really it should have been Sam Womack nominated over Lacey Turner.

Lacey will probably win but it would be great if Lindsey could.

It's probably just to publicize the fact that she is back. If you didn't watch EE constantly for the past few months I doubt you would even know that Stacey even returned.

Besides, they nominated Lindsey Coulson anyway, I feel like she is a pretty underrated actress so I am glad they put her forward.

As someone who worked with oxfam in Papua New Guinea I find your comment both asinine (for a soaps forum) and offensive. Get off your high horse.

Of course awards are ridiculous it has less to do with that and more to do with the gall of putting forward turner in the first place. It's ridiculous and a troubling example of production thinking. Yes I was being hyperbolic but I honestly cannot see how you can't put forward for an award (regardless of the award's merit) someone who has been in the show 2 weeks. Come on - it is very suggestive of their thinking.

I just struggle to understand how that can be done; that was the source of my "outrage".

Agree; it's not the awards it's the thinking behind it that is troubling.

Diane Parish was in the long list but she didn't get enough votes to make it into the short list.

Discussing soaps in a soap forum is fine.

Calling the nomination of an actress in a public voted awards ceremony "disgusting" is highly over the top.

So, no, your overreaction is asinine.

The very fact they are public voted awards makes them even more useless and more of a "Most Popular Actor" award. Far from disgusting. It's not the producer's fault Parish didn't garner as many votes.

Let's face it, if Stacey did a dump in the middle of the Square, she would win an award for that .

That's how Soap Awards work. It's more a popularity contest than a genuine acting awards ceremony if you ask me. Certain actors will keep getting nominated regardless.

I agree.

Although I find Lacey an extreamly talented young actress, I do find her nomination this year to be unwarrented.

I'll never deny her talent but she's done nothing to warrent a best actress nomination. She's only been on screen for a few weeks, and while she did well for what has been, IMO, weak material, other actresses have been superior.

However yes, these are popularity awards and always has been. There is more chance of Lacey winning best actress over a few weeks work over Lindsey, Diane, Linda etc who have deliverered all year around. Sad but true. I still remember Ross Kemp winning best actor in 2006 for three weeks work!

Joe is a Stacey fan.

Her inclusion for best actress is a compete and utter joke shows how bad the actresses in Eastenders actually are.

I agree with you that she shouldnt have been put forward but i think the reaction is a bit OTT. If there's any justice Lindsay should win anyway

To me these awards lost all credibility when Michael Moon didn't receive a best villain nomination. They don't seem to judge on a whole year, just recent events.
