Is EastEnders Harry Reid a strong contender for Best Newcomer at the 2016 NTAs?
I would not be a happy soul if Harry wasnt at least on the shortlist for next years event.
In terms of newcomer I think hes the best new casting the show has had in the qualifying period for this award. I think if TPTB put Harry Reids name forward they wouldnt be disapointed on awards night.

I can only assume this is sarcasm about Harry Reid.
Some of his acting particularly when he's required to show anger and other emotion has been atrocious, some of the worst in Eastenders since John Altman as Nick Cotton. I actually preferred the previous guy who played Ben and don't actually know why he was re-cast yet again. |

If Les qualifies then the actor playing him - if we get to see more of Christine. Otherwise the actor playing Vincent - he has certainly come in from nowhere and become a major character and presence very quickly. Although we have hardly seen Paul Coker - the actor playing him is very expressive and seems like a good actor.

No. He wasn't on the nomination list. Think it was Richard Blackwood.

The anti-Harry feeling on this thread is frankly disturbing Hilda. I feel a few punishments need dished out, perhaps a dose of Elaine singing "I'm In The Mood For Dancing" by the Nolans on a repeat loop will teach the Harry nay-sayers a lesson

I personally quite like Harry Reid and feel he has made the role of Ben Mitchell his own. He at the very least deserves to be nominated.

Sorry datewise he does -Jacqueline Jossa joined EastEnders September 2010 and won best newcomer in January 2012-swop that for Harrys September 2014 and January 2016.
![]() but EE has had a lot of newcomers this year that should get the nod over someone in the role over a year already |

maybe newcomers were thin on the ground that year.
but EE has had a lot of newcomers this year that should get the nod over someone in the role over a year already This pattern is more normal than exceptional. The beginning of the qualifying period and the cut off period for someone to be classed as a newcomer has stayed the same. Harry may not even have qualified for January 2015 nominations given he only joined several months before at that point in September 2014. Newcomer awards tend to be for younger actors, new unknown talent. EastEnders has had 6 newcomers in 2015, Claudette, Vincent, Carmel, Paul, Gavin and Kyle. 4 are too old to be really thought of as newcomers and or are already established in their careers. That leaves Kyle who's barely appeared and Paul Coker aka Jonny Labey -so not sure what you mean by a lot of newcomers this year. |

BIB I am every bit as pure as the driven snow thanks
And yes I think Harry deserves it too, on a serious note, I disagree with others I think he can really act and has been excellent since the turn of the year ![]() Ellen Thomas is too old to win best newcomer and she's been in EastEnders before anyway -Paul Nicholls is in his 60s and has a long career, same for Bonnie Langford who's in her 50s,Richard Blackwood is already established and not new talent, only Kyle actor who's barely appeared and Jonny Labey as Paul Coker. James Bye, Davood, Rakhar all appeared in 2014. Davood around sametime as Harry. I can't see the grounds for saying he's been there too long and overtaken by more recent and thus more deserving competition?? 😕 Your purity I imagine is very debatable!

Like I said Richard Blackwood got the nomination and Harry didn't impress enough to make the acting long list.
I've found the BBC blog with the EE noms. |
