Hollyoaks was the surprise big winner at the British Soap Awards after scooping six prizes at last night's bash.
The Channel 4 soap picked up top acting honours for stars Chris Fountain and Emma Rigby and was also awarded Best Exit, Most Spectacular Scene, Best On-Screen Partnership and Sexiest Female.
Coronation Street was a close second after picking up five awards including Sexiest Male for Rob James Collier and Best Comedy Performance for Maggie Jones, who plays the brilliant Blanche.
However, it was EastEnders that took the top award after being named Best Soap - the show's other three awards included Best Storyline for the Max and Stacey affair.
Emmerdale had to make do with just a couple of awards including Best Single Episode for baby Daniel's death.
But the biggest cheer of the night was for Corrie legend Liz Dawn who picked up a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Ill health forced Liz to quit the soap in January after playing Vera for 34 years.
What do you think of the award winners? Did Hollyoaks deserve to pick up the most trophies? Was EastEnders really the best soap of the past year? What about poor Doctors that walked away empty-handed?
Let us know what you think...

Eastenders deserves to be the top soap! the stoy lines are the best and the cast are great.Im only 20 years old and iv watched eastenders for most of my life and will neaver stop watching it!.Hollyoaks did not deserve all those tropohies and i find that show very boring.Corrie is my 2nd best and emmerdale 3rd but that show has gone downhill.

Posted by: yvonne.hutchcraft on Sun May 04 01:01PM | Report abuseHollyoaks is by a clear mile the best soap on tv therefore their success was deserved, corrie and emmerdale are still living in 60s and eastenders has just lost the plot lol. Hollyoaks has got the best storyline, best characters, is the most "in" and refreshing and by far the funniest. Bless little Tom - so cute
