Fans were also able to vote for Soap Superstar of 2025, which aims to celebrate the actor who has gone above and beyond in the past year. For the first time, there will be two Outstanding Achievement Awards for an enduring long-term contribution to the world of soap.

Sarah Ellis, editor of Inside Soap magazine, said: “2025 has been a year full of shocks and surprises in the world of soap; from John Sugden’s reign of terror in Emmerdale and Martin’s tragic goodbye in EastEnders, to villainous Clare Devine’s return from the dead in Hollyoaks, and the runaway success of ‘Swarla’ in Coronation Street. But which of our top nominees will be taking home the trophies on the big night?”
