I am surprised not to see some names mentioned in the catergories, that should have been mentioned!!!!!!!!

Remember i know the names i mention, would have not won or had any chance of winning but they should have been mentioned/nominated

Best Actress - Emma Barton aka Honey should of been nominated for Best Actress in the EE section, she was good, and also Natalie Cassidy in the Best Actress nomination and also in Hollyoaks, Sarah Jayne Dunn and Ali Bastian should have been nominated

Sexiest Female - should have included Sarah Jayne Dunn and Ali Bastian in Hollyoaks, also Jo Joyner aka EE Tanya could have been nominated

Villain of the year - Chris Fountain as Justin Burton could have been added in for the Hollyoaks section or even Will or Sean

Best Actor - no offence to any Corrie Sean fans, but how the hell does he get nominated??? to me he's only playing himself nothing great and also EE Kevin, he 's not that good, i would have put James Alexandrou aka Martin Fowler for a nomination instead of Phil Daniels aka Kevin
Also i would have put Nick Pickard or Kevin Scare for Best Actor in Hollyoaks, Chris Fountain and James Sutton are good, and also Matt Littler but would have had Nick or Kevin over Matt Littler

Agree with most of the things you've put there! There are some good nominees though-like Dot from EE-glad she's getting some recognition!

Do these soaps just draw names out of a hat

I only watch corrie and hollyoads so cannot really comment on the rest however I myself found some of them very bizarre indeed.

Sexiest male was OK - although Rhys should have been in there imo, sexiest female should definitely have had Becca, and Mandy in there - Carmel isn't sexy at all - too obvious.

The best actress ones were the worst though - Kate Ford regularly over acts, Kym Ryder is hardly tried and tested on the difficult stuff yet, Gemma Blissix is absolutley dire at times, with Emma Rigby and Jessica Fox hardly having gritty enough storylines to demonstrate any sort of real acting potential. Why is Emma rigby in there over Sarah, or Louise, or Becca - I just don't get it.

I'm just annoyed that Gerard McCarthy didn't get any nominations.

The producers put the names forward. Their choice who they think has been the best in whatever category.
That's why it's no surprise Corrie picked Sean. He's the producers darling.

And in Corrie's case they must think actors over a certain age have no chance of winning (they'd be right) so they tend to pick the younger ones rather than the Rita's and Gail's and Norris's and Roy's in the cast.

IMO Rhys from Hollyoaks should have deffo been up for sexiest male! Also Will should be up for Villian

Why can't they just let us vote from the start, Then a proper final would be made. There's no doubt that the best 2 actors from Hollyoaks were Nick Pickard and Sarah Dunn.

I don't particularly agree with you on Emma Barton being nominated for Best Actress. Personally I don't see her as a strong enough character and/or actress as of yet. I do defintely agree with you on Natalie Cassidy though.

For the Sexiest Female award, it seemed to me that EastEnders chose the younger people. Sure, Tiana Benjamin, Lacey Turner and to some extent Kara Tointon are all sexy - but I do think Jo should have been nominated. Possibly instead of Tiana. I can see why Kara was nominated, as she just won them Best Dressed...

For the Best Actor award I definitely agree. Phil Daniels has been decent, but not the best. I would have nominated either James, as you suggested, or Jake Wood (Max Branning).

Why didn't Sid Little get a nomination. He was fantastic.

Sexiest Male - Why is Richard Fleeshman nominated, he is still only kid, I just can't see the appeal myself. But Chris Fountain is even worse, even without the lippy he's about as attractive as a cold sore. I don't see the appeal of Kelvin Fletcher and Rob Kazinsky either Some of the Doctors ones are laughable and I don't even watch it.

Sexiest Female - Sure Diane Keen looks good for her age (60?) but sexy? Lacey Turner would be more attractive if she took the scowl off her face and Gemma Merna would if she wore less makeup, she looks stunning with no makeup at all.

Best Actor - Anthony Cotton for Best Comedy Performance is understandable but Best Actor? His attempts at serious acting are laughable. To be nominated for Best Actor, I think you should handle comedy and drama well or be OUTSTANDING. Anthony is neither. Charlie Clements - :yawn:. I don't rate Phil Daniels, just yells and Chris Fountain has slowly got worse.

Best Actress - Kate Ford is absolutely terrible and why she's even considered is beyond me . Lacey Turner has her moments of brilliance but it's just obvious she'll win. Kym Ryder is pretty average too.

Best Villian is about the only category I can agree with or can understand why they were chosen.

These are your opinions only. Kate Ford is not absolutely terrible. I happen to think she is rather good and certainly better than Lacy Turner. What planet are you living on in thinking a soap star has to be 'OUTSTANDING'. 99% are average. It's only soap awards not the Oscars for heavens sake.
By the way you can be 60 and sexy. Don't think that just young chicks own sexy. You also failed to mention you you would have nominated. Surely all Hollyoak actors.

Im with you there, how their work during graces death has not been recognised is beyond me!

I agree with alot of this. Richard Fleeshman is not even in Corrie anymore and the actors from Doctors are bloody ugly. If they are the shows 'hunks' then I dread to think what the rest of the cast looks like. Ditto their sexiest female entrants.

Who would be your choice?? It is easy to moan about the choices but offer some yourselves and let the other FMs see if your choices are any better

That is your opinion. I don't rate Kate Ford but rate Lacey Turner and you don't rate Lacey Turner but rate Kate Ford. That's fine, each to their own

Yes I do agree that I did make an error regarding outstanding. As long as they're good. If they are outstanding then great.

As requested, my nominations

Sexiest Male - Kevin Sacre instead of Chris Fountain

I admit there are lack of hunks on the Corrie front apart from the two nominated.

Best Actor - Simon Gregson instead of Anthony Cotton, James Alexandrou instead of Phil Daniels, Nick Pickard instead of Chris Fountain

Best Actress - Jenny Platt instead of Kate Ford, Jane Danson instead of Kym Ryder

Antony Cotton, Phil Daniels and Chris Fountain are very odd choices for Best Actor. Instead of Phil Daniels, I think James Alexandrou, Jake Wood or perhaps even John Bardon. Nick Pickard instead of Chris Fountain. Anyone besides Antony Cotton; even Sam Robertson would be a tempting alternative

Wouldn't have put Chris Fountain on Sexiest Male either. Perhaps Kevin Sacre instead.

Not bad choices
Sexiest male - no idea of your choices but maybe the guy who plays Liam in Corrie, James Alexandrou very good, Simon Gregson not so good.
Jane Danson good and I would put Kate back sorry. I really hate Tracy now and that's beacause Kate has created a truly dispicable character.
Just my opinions

Well I personally think the 'Sexiest Male/Female' Award is pointless. So I don't care who is nominated really. It seems all the soaps put their 'hunks' up for it. Not a problem for Corrie, Eastenders and Emmerdale and certainly not for Hollyoaks who have hunks a plenty.

But Doctors seems to be full of older 35+ actors. Who are not really 'hunks'.

I agree-those two categories are pointless!
Like who gives a toss!
And yes-doctors. Im surprised they embaress those poor cast members by nominating them!

i can't understand why Emma Rigby got a Best Actress nomination over Ali Bastian.

Hannah Ashworth's character has been pretty terrible IMO. The eating disorder storyline has been a complete mish mash, it's never really fully taken off. I just feel she's been a totally forgettable character.


Plus she's been completely out-acted in all her scenes with John Paul.

It was so obvious that Ali deserved more. All these characters should be going for the smaller awards. John Paul is amazing and I love his character to bits, but best actor. Nope. Tony had a lot of drama over the death of his child. He should be there.

And there are so many characters from Hollyoaks that could be in the frame for sexiest character awards.....

Doctors men were a bit shocking, Jimmi Clay would of been playing it safer.

(Also I hated how at last years Soap award F'A did not get nominated for anything, and they had there best year yet! b4 it was taken of air that was, Babs, Eilleen, Tanya, Chrissy, Mel, Yasmin they had such a telented cast.)

I think James Sutton could win Best Newcomer, if he's been nominated

to be honest i dont really agree with any of the nominations
i personally think that they are always fixed around eastenders. how it usually picks up best soap is beyond me

Why can't older actors be goodlooking? Really if you're over 30 these days you're past it and suddenly lose any good looks you might have had. I don't know 'Doctors' at all never watched it and the acters might not be goodlooking, but why add the age thing. Brad Pitt is in his 40s and still considered a bit of a dish. As is Jonny Depp. Sean Connery was voted by many female mags as being sexy while he was in his 60s. So age for male or female shouldn't be a facter.
