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...

Posted by: gadczesio on Sun May 04 01:21PM | Report abuseCoronation Street has to be the worst soap on TV, it has plastic actors with PATHETIC storylines that go on and on and on and on and on and on......................................................... Emmerdale is by far the BEST SOAP on our screens and gets very little recognition they have brilliant actors and some of the best storylines.
Posted by: greenfingersthomas on Sun May 04 01:21PM | Report abuseHollyoaks is far better than Eastenders, Corrie and Emmerdale put together. It has the best storylines and tackles issues that could happen to anyone like Hannah's eating disorder storyline, underage pregnancy (Amy and Leah) and Sasha and Fletch's drug addiction. I think Hollyoaks should have picked up best soap award.

Posted by: sdube95 on Sun May 04 01:22PM | Report abuseHollyoaks apeals to a more younger generation thats why it has been doing well ... the acting is so and so with only a handfull (and not even tht) of good actors ... Emmerdale was a programme I never really watched before but now I believe it should be recognised more, THE STORY LINES AND ACTORS ARE FAR BETTER!
Posted by: jsimuyuni on Sun May 04 01:22PM | Report abuseWell I hope Eastenders dont win this next year with Rickiy and Rent a Mouth in it, is just bringing the show down instead of high ratings.
Posted by: forbes0206 on Sun May 04 01:23PM | Report abuseHollyoaks has some very believable characters, well acted by the relatively young team. Eastenders and Coronation Street, by comparison, is unbelievable and has a collection of very despicable, horrible and nasty characters that I just don't want to bring into my home. They should kill off both Viv and Bob (utter buffoons)! And the whole of Eastenders needs a cast re-think. I can't see where it's going with the present cast. It's totally unwatchable!
Posted by: andrew_murphy on Sun May 04 01:24PM | Report abuseI really think that Hollyoaks is the best soap with stories and got good actors. They always have some crackings stories, I never fed up to watsh. Perhaps EastEnders did good with Stacey and Max affair.
Posted by: lolodac on Sun May 04 01:25PM | Report abusei think eastenders deserved to win the best soap, but hollyoaks did not deserve to win the best actor or the best exit.
