Coronation Street gets second awards snub in a month as Bafta shortlist is revealed

-

Unfortunately for Coronation Street fans, the ITV soap did not receive a nomination for the TV Baftas, which were announced in the same month that the RTS awards passed it by.

With a total of seven wins, including Best Soap, at the Inside Soap Awards in 2021, Coronation Street completely dominated the competition.

The show won all three of the awards that were presented to the soaps at both the TV Choice Awards and the National Television Awards that year.

Although Coronation Street won the Bafta for Soaps and Continuing Drama in 2022, it seems that, regrettably, it just wasn’t to be this year.

Along with fellow ITV soap Emmerdale, the soap also missed out on a nomination for the Royal Television Society Awards.

However, Emmerdale, along with BBC soaps Casualty and EastEnders, has earned itself a nomination for Soaps and Continuing Drama, so Hollyoaks has also been left out this time.

Over the past year, Emmerdale has tackled some difficult storylines, such as Faith Dingle’s (Sally Dexter) tragic passing, Marlon Dingle’s (Mark Charnock) stroke, and Paddy Kirk’s (Dominic Brunt) suicide attempt.

Of course, we must not forget the momentous 50th anniversary, when a terrifying storm struck the Village and killed Liv Dingle (Isobel Steele) and Harriet Finch (Katherine Dow Blyton).

Meanwhile, over on the BBC, EastEnders is at the top of its game at the moment, having drummed up some serious hype over their recent flash forward episode.

Prior to that, we saw the first flashback episode EastEnders had ever aired, which showed what life was like for the iconic Mitchell family back in the 70s, as well as revealing some serious twists.

In the television drama Casualty, viewers saw David (Jason Durr) grieve for the loss of his son Ollie (Harry Collett), who died as a result of his involvement in a school shooting.

Despite not receiving any nominations, Corrie has continued to tackle difficult and timely storylines, such as Daisy Midgeley’s (Charlotte Jordan) experience with Justin Rutherford’s (Andrew Still) stalking and Roy Cropper’s (David Neilson) addiction to cell phones.

Many thanks to all of our nominees. Bafta CEO Jane Millichip said.

“Today, a record number of submissions in the categories of Television and Craft led to 128 nominations, demonstrating fantastic strength and depth in programming and talent in 2022.”
