The British Soap Awards are creeping closer and closer, and it’s fair to say that hecklerspray’s excited. Actually, that’s a totally unfair thing to say. If it was the British Awards For Giant Breakdancing Robot Ninjas, we’d be excited. But we’re mostly unmoved by the prospect of seeing a bunch of smug actors applaud themselves.
However, lots of people are looking forwards to it, so we’ll perform a public service, and list the runners and riders, helped with odds from Betfair.com, starting today with the nominees for Best Actress.
Suranne Jones – played that screaming woman from Coronation Street. Current Odds – 3/10
Michelle Ryan – one of the Slater sisters from Eastenders, had a nervous breakdown a few years ago. Current Odds – evens
Tina O’Brien – Coronation Street‘s whiney teenage single Mum. Current Odds – 2/1
Emma Atkins – An Emmerdale Dingle. Mental, kisses girls. Current Odds – 3/1
Sally Lindsay – The blonde barmaid from Coronation Street. Also sang that awful Grandma We Love You song. Current Odds – 4/1
Jesse Wallace – Kat Slater from Eastenders. Possibly even more deranged in real life. Current Odds – 5/1
Kacey Ainsworth – The other Slater from Eastenders. The one that had that barmy Scottish husband. Current Odds – 7/2
They’re the frontrunners. There are loads more nominees that are all about 31/1, including a bunch of people that you wouldn’t recognise if they spat a greenie in your ear.
No nomination for Pat Butcher this year. This upsets hecklerspray, because she the closest thing a soap has to a giant breakdancing robot ninja.
For the full list, take a look at Betfair.com. You can have a crafty punt while you’re at it, too.
