EastEnders\u2019 winning streak continues unabated as the popular BBC soap has landed more humongous victories, this time at the Inside Soap Awards 2023. <\/p>\n
The much discussed renaissance of the show, which just a couple of years ago was left pretty much in the dark when it came to awards ceremonies, is clearly showing no signs of waning, and one storyline in particular has dominated. <\/p>\n
Initially questioned by many when first announced, Lola Pearce\u2019s tragic exit storyline has pulled in critical and viewer acclaim alike, for emotionally touching and dramatic portrayals in both acting and writing. <\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Lola passed away in heartbreaking scenes after a battle with cancer, the aftermath of which continues to play out on screen. <\/p>\n
Danielle Harold may have left the show, but the legacy she and Lola have left has helped EastEnders soar at the most recent awards, netting a staggering four prizes, alongside the coveted Best Soap trophy. <\/p>\n
The saga was named by the voting public as the top soap storyline of the year, with Danielle taking home Best Actress, co-star Jamie Borthwick (Jay Brown) winning Best Actor and Lexi star Isabelle Brown declared as the Best Young Performer.<\/p>\n

The enduringly popular Max Bowden, who, as Ben Mitchell, has also played a heavy and heart-wrenching role in the plotline (as well as being one half of fan favourite power couple Ballum), and has been named as the year\u2019s Soap Superstar. <\/p>\n
No mean feat! Both the show and the storyline has clearly had a huge impact on the audience, and recently won all three soap-related prizes at the recent National Television Awards \u2013 Best Serial Drama, Best Serial Drama Performance for\u00a0Danielle Harold, and Best Breakthrough Star for\u00a0Bobby Brazier.<\/p>\n
Coupled with other major storylines over the year, including the developing murder storyline involving \u2018The Six\u2019, the tragedy of Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) and Zack Hudson\u2019s (James Farrar) baby loss, and the return from the dead of Cindy Beale, EastEnders hasn\u2019t been talked about so feverishly and with such positivity in years. <\/p>\n
But the other soaps haven\u2019t come away empty handed. <\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n
Coronation Street also secured an impressive four awards, with divisive serial killer Stephen Reid \u2013 played by recently departed Todd Boyce \u2013 finding vindication as the year\u2019s Best Villain. <\/p>\n
Dee-Dee Bailey icon Channique Sterling-Brown has added another deserved Best Newcomer gong to her cabinet, while Maureen Lipman is once again the unbeatable comedy icon. <\/p>\n
And elsewhere, the most showstopping moment was the acid attack carried out against Daisy Midgeley (Charlotte Jordan) and Ryan Connor (Ryan Prescott) was the most Show-Stopping Moment, and one which lives on in our memories in all its raw horror. <\/p>\n
The often overlooked duo of Marlon Dingle and Paddy Kirk has been rewarded with the Best Partnership prize \u2013 after a year of trauma faced by the two characters seeing the bond and chemistry between stalwarts Mark Charnock and Dominic Brunt shine through. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
And, against hot competition from the likes of the Barlows, Platts, Mitchells, Slaters and McQueens, the vast Dingle clan is the Best Family.<\/p>\n
Casualty\u2019s Nigel Harman (Max Cristie) and Doctors\u2019 Chris Walker (Rob Hollins) have come away with Best Drama Star and Best Daytime Star respectively.<\/p>\n
Finally, soap royalty Nikki Sanderson, who has played a blinder throughout both the acclaimed Long Walk Home story in Hollyoaks \u2013 as well as a pivotal role in the show\u2019s incel story \u2013 has been handed the Outstanding Achievement prize. <\/p>\n
