How about nominations for the Soap ‘Over-actor & Over-actress of the Year’?

They could be in line for receiving an ‘Honor’ award, as a mark of distiction from the much acclaimed Honor Blackman Academy of Over-acting.

To kick us off, I would nominate:

For Emmerdale: Marlon, whose dramatic abilities would be severely limited to mime were he to lose the use of his arms.

For Coronation Street: Dev, who by vowel stretching alone, could cause an episode to over-run by simply saying “Good morning!”.

For Eastenders: Well…… I’ll leave that up to y’all to nominate, who do you think would (should?) walk away with an ‘Honor’?

BTW, don’t confuse this with the ‘Under-acting’ awards – those who cannot see the wood for their cue cards!

Heyho!

C-E.

I agree with the Emmerale and Corrie ones you nominated, C-E!

Here are the awards:

Emmerdale: Marlon, Betty


Coronation Street: Dev, Vera


Eastenders: Derek, Peggy


Underacting in Corrie would include the likes of Ciaran, Hayley, Tommy, Tyrone....................the list goes on!

Another vote for Little Mo. That fake accent and inept performance makes me cringe every time I see her.

Agreed he's awful, his facial expression is always the same plus that awful single he released.

Was it Auf Widiesien pet? I didn't know he was in that, but I must say he is a poor actor I saw one episode of Corrie last week and I thought he was very very bad and they have enough crap actors as it is with Les and Dev and Fiz and Kirk.

Before reading everyone else's replies, Dev from Corrie immediately sprang to mind, so I guess it has to be him.

After last night's (Thurs 11th) performance, I think a strong contender for Emmerdale now has to be Zoe!

Wow, what an alarming CU towards the end!!

I'm just wondering whether Letitia Deane is lining herself up for the Eastenders' nomination?

Especially after Tuesday's final scene.

I think that, for Coronation Street, Karen could be nominated for the actress with the most athletic head movements.

Has she ever studied Asian Dance, one wonders?

Heyho!

After seeing some of his performances in the last week or so, Dev Alahan from Corrie could win this award hands-down.

He could 'over-act' for England, man!!!

That and the most number of Finger-Wags per episode.

Mia the lawyer. Her exaggerated expressions are competing with Dev's right now. Both eyebrows were engaged in intense overacting tonight.
