EastEnders crowned Best Soap at British Soap Awards
Woop Woop! After a fantastic year, EastEndersÌýcame up trumps to winÌýBest Soap at the annual British Soap Awards 2011 in Manchester on Saturday night.
As well as winning the ultimate glory a second year on the trot at the prestigious soap oscars, your favourite soap has clinched another trio of shiny gongs!
The wonderfulÌýJessie WallaceÌýbeat off tough competition to be crowned withÌýBest ActressÌýfor playing been-through-the-mill-and-back Kat Moon. The Vic landlady has had a gripping year, as she's struggled to deal with Tommy's loss... and getting him back.
On the glitzy night, Jessie Wallace had to grace the stage twice, as she picked up Best On-Screen Partnership with Shane Richie for their portrayal as loveableÌýKat and ´¡±ô´Ú¾±±ðÌý²Ñ´Ç´Ç²Ô.
And guess what folks? Let's hope that Scott Maslen (Jack Branning) had his acceptance speech prepared, as he took the top totty award! Yep, for a consecutive year Scott picked up the Sexiest Male gong. Ding. Dong.
Let's hope that the northern city has now recovered from the waft of hairspray and glow of gooorgeous tans, after hosting the awards for the first time in 12 years.Ìý
Thank you for all of your votes in these top-notch awards!

It is somewhat difficult to understand some of the language. We are at the place on New Years where the kids van overturns, I guess someone will be dead.

Since Kat first come on I love her so much as she reminds me of my younger days and then Stacey, diagonosed with bi -polar like myself makes it a great show as they are everyday people, not like some other shows that have your goody goody never do anything wrong, which is not normal, go Eastenders and CONGRATS!!!

Jessie Wallace has been outstanding during this controversial baby swap plot, and viewers have really felt Kat's pain and loss. I'm just so happy Kat and Alfie have baby Tommy back. Also "Best On-Screen Partnership" too - fantastic! I really think the "Sexiest Male" award should be re-named the "Scott Maslen award" - 3 years in a row now, right?!? The one award I'm disappointed with is Lindsey Coulson not winning "Best Dramatic Performance", she deserved this so much. Her portrayal of Carol finding out about Billie dying was OUTSTANDING.
I'm looking forward to watching these awards on ITV on Wednesday night, with a few cold beers and a few goodies! Well Done Easties!

Also congrats to Kat ak.ka Jessie Wallace for winning best Actress, well deserved and I'm glad her and Alfie won best partnership as they are teh best couple in Walford. I still think though that Alfie hsould of won best actor as he is so much better than Aaron form Emmerdale, who watches teh boring farm anyway.
I was disappointed that Corrie won 8 awards and EE won 4, well I guess it was a tough competition this year. I definately think that Carol should have won best dramatic performance and they should of won best storyline

I loved watching it , even though we were years behind England. I manage to keep up with it somewhat thru friends that watch it in London. I really miss it.
