The Inside Soap Awards are returning for 2025, with a major change: the ceremony will be held in Manchester for the first time. This year's event marks the only soap awards ceremony taking place, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the awards.
Nominations span Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, Home and Away, Casualty, and Waterloo Road. Highlights include the Corriedale crossover episode and Nigel's death in EastEnders.
Editor Sarah Ellis said: 'The Inside Soap Awards are still going strong after 30 years... our readers are just as passionate and loyal now as they were back in 1996.' A new Hall of Fame will induct its first member during the ceremony.
Voting opens at midday on Tuesday 30 June, with winners revealed in Manchester in September. Fans can also nominate their Soap Superstar of 2026.
