So with that in mind ... Best Soap: Hollyoaks Worst Soap: Coronation Street (Edale will always suck, but Corrie's capable of being so much better) Best Story: Mercedes stalking Mitzeee/Babynapping, Hollyoaks Worst Story: Who's Fucking Kat, Eastenders Best Actor: Adam Woodyatt (Ian), Eastenders Worst Actor: Emmett Scanlan (Brendon), Hollyoaks Best Actress: Gillian Wright (Jean), EastEnders Worst Actress: Anna Shaffer (Ruby), Hollyoaks Best Couple: Joey & Lauren, Eastenders Worst Couple: Ste & Doug, Hollyoaks Best Villian: Derek Branning, Eastenders Worst Villian: Walker, Hollyoaks Best Character: Mitzeee, Hollyoaks Worst Character: Brendon Brady, Hollyoaks Best Return / Best Newcomer: Lucy Beale (Hetti Bywater), EastEnders Worst Return: The cross dresser in Corrie Best New Character: I guess Joey, Eastenders? Its not been a great year for any of my regulars in terms of casting though. Worst Newcomer/Worst New Character: Dr. Paul Browning (Joe Thompson), Hollyoaks Best Short Term Character: I'll probably think of someone better later, but Gary Lucy (Danny) Eastenders Best Exit: I'm torn. Pat Butcher, Eastenders & Maddie Morrison, Hollyoaks. Worst Exit: Heather Trott, Eastenders Most Underused Actor/Actress: Laila Morse (Mo), Eastenders Best Single Episode: Pat Dies, EastEnders Best Shocker: Riley's death, Hollyoaks Best Stunt: Mini bus crash, Hollyoaks Most Improved Actor/Actress: Danielle Harold (Lola Pearce), EastEnders Most Exciting Plot Going Into 2013: Alfie and Roxy, Eastenders Edited by Drew, Dec 31 2012, 05:34 PM.

LOL Sexiest Actresses (off the top of my head): 1) Jennifer Metcalfe (Mercedes Fisher, Hollyoaks) 2) Natalie Anderson (Alicia Metcalfe, Emmerdale) 3) Fiona Wade (Priya Sharma, Emmerdale) 4) Jorgie Porter (Theresa McQueen, Hollyoaks) 5) Sammy Winward (Katie Macey, Emmerdale) Also, these are just categories I chose. You guys can totally make up your own if you want. And Shick, Best Return / Best Newcomer are two separate categories, but my answer was the same character.
