Coronation Street took home the evening's most prestigious award, Best British Soap, besting EastEnders, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks , and Doctors .
Viewers also voted Corrie actors Jack P. Shepherd and Lucy Fallon as best soap actor and actress, respectively. However, Emmerdale 's 'Hotten bypass crash' managed to beat out Richard Hillman driving his family into the canal for greatest soap moment.
