Fans are to decide who is the greatest British Soap of all time at the Inside Soap Awards 2022. Voting lines opened midday.

Other awards up for grabs at this ceremony include, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Villain, Best Newcomer, and Best Villain. They are the only awards of their kind, which are based solely on the votes of viewers.

This will also mark the return of in person ceremonies, following two years of virtual shows due to the pandemic. An even spread of nominations are across the British soaps, including Coronation Street, Hollyoaks, EastEnders and Emmerdale.

Nominations for best storyline include Abi's battle for baby Alfie in Coronation Street, John Paul's alcoholism in Hollyoaks, and Ben's rape and Jean's bi polar storylines in EastEnders. 

"Even in a world of battling streaming services, the soaps remain the most-watched shows on TV, and their main characters the biggest stars in Britain", Gary Gallet who is editor of the Insider Soap Magazine said. "To celebrate 30 glorious, ridiculous years of Inside Soap, we're offering our readers - the best-informed viewers there are - this chance to celebrate the absolute best of the best".

"We're looking to name TV's ultimate drama magnet. The soap icon above all icons". 

Cornonation Street was awarded the prestigious accolade of Greatest Soap Of All Time last year, along with seven other awards for funniest performance, best actress, best actor among others last year.
