Emmerdale has retained its crown of Best Serial Drama at the National Television Awards for the second year running but rival soaps Coronation Street and EastEnders haven’t gone away empty handed with both taking away a prize each too.

While Emmerdale fought off heavy competition to be crowned king soap of 2018, Lucy Fallon was awarded Best Serial Drama Performance by voters in a particularly fierce contest between herself, co-star Barbara Knox, Emmerdale’s Danny Miller and EastEnders’ Lacey Turner.

Meanwhile, up against Weatherfield’s Rob Mallard, Hollyoaks‘ Nathan Morris and Emmerdale’s Ned Porteous, Walford’s Keanu Taylor actor Danny Walters was awarded Best Newcomer.

So the trophy cabinets of the three soaps have a new addition tonight.

Emmerdale was also crowned Best Serial Drama last year, when it took the crown from EastEnders. With storylines in the last year including the rape of Rhona Goskirk, the murder of Emma Barton and a car crash devastating the White family, the show has continued to fire on all cylinders according to votes.

Meanwhile, Danny Walters’ award has proven that EastEnders fans have taken the new Taylor family to their hearts while Lucy Fallon’s exhaustingly brave and powerful performances during Bethany Platt’s sex ring ordeal has also won huge acclaim.
