Charlie Brooks on the Soap Awards night
Janine Malloy may be a manipulative madam who would ratherÌýspend her evening throwing evil stares and making catty comments to other bar locals, but that's way off the agenda for actress Charlie Brooks.
We had a brief, girly chat to theÌýVillain of the Year nomineeÌýin this year's .Ìý
Here areÌýa few of her numptious nuggets aboutÌýthe BIG NIGHT in Manchester aproaching...
Ìý
On the star-studded ceremony:
"They are usually really good fun because you get to see people you know from the other soaps and have quite a laugh.
"I remember them from when I was younger. There was quite a lot of younger cast membersÌý- Jack Ryder (Jamie)Ìýand Natalie Cassidy (Sonia)Ìýso we’d get all dolled up together. I think I was probably 18 at my first one."
On getting 'dolled up':
"I never spend ages getting readyÌý- I’m a wash-up-and-go kind of girl. I’m so impatient, I just want to get it done and get out."
On 'ergh! What is she wearing?' fashion disasters:
"I've had several fashion disasters! One year I wore a dreadful black dress, awful shoes, awful make-up. The shoes were these pink flat gladiator sandals that tied up the whole of my leg. Absolutely horrendous! I’ve had loads."
Let's hope she has no fashion disasters this year...
On this year's fun n' frolics...
"We always mix together at the soap awards. This year we’re all getting coaches up to Manchester which is going to be lots of fun."
You can bet there'll be sing songs on the M6.
If you haven't yet voted in this year's Soap Awards, then make your vote count through the .

I'd say there'll be some amount of fun and antics on that coach! Oh, to be a fly! You should record some of it and put it on here!
Good luck to EastEnders! I have my fingers and toes crossed. Literally.

I love Eastenders. It is the best soap ever. American soaps are so phoney,they all are so perfect inevery way. Give me normal looking people , I think that's what turned me on at first.
