Hi all, some of you may be aware that I made a similar thread based on your opinion of three of the best actors from seven shows. Once again, I'm making another thread, this time based on the Best Actress. I'd love opinions from everyone please. I'm also now opening a second choice of informing me as you can also PM me with your opinions.

I am looking for you to choose you favourite female actress, from the following lists. Each list shows the actresses that have appeared in EastEnders, Corrie, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, Casualty, Holby City and Waterloo Road between 1 April 2014 and 31 March 2015.

Hope that's clear enough for you to read. I hope you've guessed the actresses are in bold. Anyway, if you could pick three actresses from each show that would be great! And remember it's based on performances between 1 April 2014 and 31 March 2015. Also, once again if you'd prefer not to comment then feel free to PM me anytime! Thanks

Emmerdale - Nicola Wheeler

Much as I like Emmerdale Nicola is the only actress out of the cast who I think deserves it. I like a lot of the others but not enough for them to win this award.

I only watch ED regularly, so I'll go for:

Natalie Anderson - Alicia
Verity Rushworth - Donna
Emma Atkins - Charity

Tough choice though. Love Nicola Wheeler as well. And Charlotte Bellamy's doing a great job.

Eastenders

This was very difficult, as it dawned on me going through the list that EE has perhaps the strongest set of actresses of all the soaps.

Jessie Wallace
Diane Parrish
Kelle Bright

I wanted to say Laurie Brett, but she only shined on live week. The three I mentioned above have been consistent and always are.

Corrie

This was easy as Corrie has a weaker set of actresses, and even actors as well. Two of these I have mentioned always deliver, while one I mentioned was purely because she was slightly a bit better than the weak ones.

Paula Lane
Jane Danson (not been given much material in months but has always been one of corrie's best actresses)
Allison King

Emmerdale

Natalie Anderson
Charlotte Bellamy
Verity Rushworth

Well, yeah I didn't think anyone would vote that nor would they vote in Ritchie, but because she is a regular she was included and for Ritchie, she had made multiple appearances so classes as an actress appearing in those dates.

Otherwise, thanks everyone for their votes so far!
