‘Emmerdale’ leads the soap nominations for the TV Choice Awards with six nods.
The ITV show is up for the coveted Best Soap accolade, as well as five other gongs, including Best Soap Actress for Isabel Hodgins (Victoria Barton), and Best Soap Actor for Ryan Hawley (Robert Sugden) and Jeff Hordley (Cain Dingle).
Emmerdale’s Asan N’Jie (Ellis Chapman) and Olivia Bromley (Dawn Taylor) also have nods in the Best Soap Newcomer category.
The pair will go up against ‘EastEnders’ youngster Kara-Leah Fernandes (Bailey Baker), and Maureen Lipman, who plays ‘Coronation Street’ battleaxe Evelyn Plummer.
‘EastEnders’ follow closely behind the ITV soap with five nominations, including a pair of Best Soap Actress nods for Lorraine Stanley (Karen Taylor) and Gillian Wright (Jean Slater).
Danny Dyer has a nomination in the Best Soap Actor category – which he triumphed in last year – and as well Ryan and Jeff, he will take on ‘Coronation Street’ star Jack P. Shepherd.
What’s more, Jack’s ‘Corrie’ co-star Alison King is up for Best Soap Actress.
‘Hollyoaks’ is up for the Best Soap award, but the Channel 4 show missed out on any nods in the actor and actress categories.
‘Corrie’ stars will no doubt be hoping their name is on the Best Soap trophy again this year after scooping the title in 2018.
‘Emmerdale’ won two awards last year, with Emma Atkins (Charity Dingle) named Best Soap Actress, and Ned Porteous (Joseph Tate) taking home Best Soap Newcomer.
The TV Choice Awards will take place The London Hilton on London’s Park Lane on Monday September 9.
‘Pointless’ star Richard Osman will host ceremony for the third time.
