Jack P. Shepherd, Emma Atkins and Danny Dyer are among the stars hoping to pick up more Inside Soap Awards silverware this year after the longlist was announced.
The ‘Coronation Street’ star picked up the Best Actor accolade at last year’s ceremony, and he has the chance to repeat his success after being nominated in the category’s longlist again alongside his co-stars Rob Mallard (Daniel Osbourne) and Mike North (Gary Windass).
Jack (David Platt) could also be up against Danny when the final shortlist is announced, and the ‘EastEnders’ star – who plays Mick Carter – will be hoping to bring home another trophy after he and Kellie Bright (Linda Carter) won the Best Partnership gong last year.
The pair are in the category’s longlist once again, alongside fellow Albert Square regulars Kara-Leah Fernandes and Roger Griffiths (Bailey and Mitch Baker), as well as Corrie’s Sally Dynevor and Joe Duttine (Sally and Tim Metcalfe), and Emmerdale’s Lucy Pargeter and Dominic Brunt (Chas Dingle and Paddy Kirk).
Emma – who won Best Actress at last year’s Inside Soap Awards for her portrayal of Charity Dingle – also has a nod in the Best Partnership category alongside Michelle Hardwick (Vanessa Woodfield).
But she has missed out on a Best Actress nod this time around, with ‘Emmerdale’ represented by Lucy, Isabel Hodgins (Victoria Barton) and Roxy Shahidi (Leyla Harding).
Other categories include Best Bad Boy and Best Bad Girl, and ‘Coronation Street’ star Maureen Lipman (Evelyn Plummer) is among the stars up for the Best Newcomer award.
