EastEnders' fans fume as BBC soap 'robbed' of award at NTAs

EastEnders fans are up in arms after the beloved BBC One soap was snubbed at the National Television Awards, despite multiple nominations. The awards ceremony, hosted by comedian Joel Dommett, took place live from the O2 Arena in Greenwich, London on Wednesday evening (September 11), celebrating the creme de la creme of TV over the past year.

However, EastEnders failed to bag a single award, even though it was nominated for Serial Drama Performance and Serial Drama. Angela Wynter, who plays Walford's Yolande Trueman, and Diane Parish, known for her role as Denise Fox, were both in the running for best drama performance.

The award, however, went to Peter Ash for his portrayal of Paul Foreman in Coronation Street, following his character's heartbreaking motor neurone disease (MND) diagnosis.

In the best serial drama category, EastEnders was up against Casualty, Corrie, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks. However, it was rival soap Emmerdale that clinched the award, reports the Daily Star.

Fans of the BBC soap were left seething as EastEnders left the NTAs without a single accolade. On X, one disgruntled viewer wrote: "Emmerdale! Are you kidding me! #Eastenders , you were robbed. Robbed, i tell you #NTAs."

Another chimed in: "Eastenders not winning best soap, this award show is a joke #NTAs," while a third lamented: "EastEnders writers have been streets ahead of the rest the last year, surprised they didn't get the recognition tonight. #NTAs."

One viewer expressed their opinion, tweeting: "Emmerdale has been good recently so deserved but EastEnders still robbed of the serial drama award #NTAs."

Another frustrated fan commented: "Sounds like the #NTAs were a disaster across the board? Ant and Dec still winning somehow, Mrs.Browns Boys AND Eastenders not getting best soap? The NTAs are a scam! !".

The father of a bullied North London schoolgirl said he is a 'victim of a failing system' following her suicide. Mia Janin, 14, took her own life after receiving a torrent of horrendous messages on social media. The Year 10 pupil at the Jewish Free School (JFS) in Kenton in Harrow, North West London was found dead at her family home in Barnet on March 12, 2021. At an inquest into her death, North London area coroner Tony Murphy concluded that Mia, 14, 'took her life while still a child and while still in the process of maturing into adulthood', at Barnet Coroner's Court on Friday. Mia's father, Mariano Janin, paid tribute to his daughter, saying: "She was fantastic, she was very bubbly, good sense of humour, she was beautiful, she was very kind, very creative." Mr Murphy, whose wife Marisa has since died as well, said Mia was last seen alive at about 10pm on March 11 2021, when she said good night to her parents in their family home. READ MORE...

Furious Sutton SEND parents slam 'disrespect' from council and announce end to 10-year partnership

A forum made up of parents and carers of children with special educational needs and disabilities has cut ties with Sutton Council, accusing the authority of a lack of trust and not working effectively with them. Sutton’s Parents and Carer Forum (SPCF), which has advised the council and helped shape SEND policy for around 10 years, cites ‘disrespect’ shown to them by Sutton Council as one of their reasons for deciding to cease contact with them as of March 3 this year. This decision could leave Sutton Council able to make SEND related decisions without any oversight or input from the parents they impact, however the council says it's looking into finding a new independent group to fill the void. SPCF is an Ofsted and Department for Education recognised body that has represented the borough’s SEND families for the last decade. According to their post, published on X last Friday: “The role of the parent carers on the Steering Group is to lead this work and listen to the views and...
