Coronation Street has also failed to land a nom at this year’s RTS AwardsCredit: Not known, clear with picture desk
Earlier this year, it was confirmed that both shows had been forced to axe an entire episode in order to limit costs with both shows also ditching around 10 actors each from its cast in recent months to combat their money woes.

Now, in a crushing blow to both programme, neither have failed to secure a nomination as this year’s awards.

In the category of Soap and Continuing Drama, the BBC‘s EastEnders and Casualty picked up nominations as did Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks.

But for ITV, they were left with nothing once again.

Last year, neither Emmerdale or Corrie managed to bag the nomination too with the Beeb sweeping up all the nominations with its two aforementioned shows as well as Waterloo Road.

In fact, the last time that ITV did manage to receive a nod was for Corrie back in 2022.

Shockingly, Emmerdale has failed to be nominated for EIGHT years after it won the award back in 2017.

Emmerdale had won two years running before their shocking slew of snubs.

This year’s ceremony is set to take place on March 25 where the winner will be announced in a glitzy event at Grovesnor House Hotel.

Despite the snub, the shows will be hoping to win back at this year’s British Soap Awards.

Soap’s most harrowing teen storylines

We take a look at other harrowing teen soap storylines from soaps Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks.

Belle Dingle’s schizophrenia in Emmerdale – Belle’s (Eden Taylor-Draper) traumatic journey in Emmerdale took a dark turn when, after accidentally killing her best friend Gemma at just 16, her mental health began to spiral.

The storyline, which saw Belle struggling with her grief and guilt, showcased her battle with hearing Gemma’s voice inside her head, leading to a dramatic decline in her well-being.

Hannah Ashworth’s anorexia in Hollyoaks – Viewers were horrified as they watched Hannah (Emma Rigby), a seemingly innocent teen, spiral into dangerous behavior, starving herself in an attempt to achieve what she thought was the ideal body.

As Hannah’s condition worsened, the storyline became more intense, culminating in her being hospitalised for two months as she fought for her life.

Bethany Platt’s grooming ordeal in Coronation Street – Vulnerable schoolgirl, played by Lucy Fallon, was at the centre of one of Corrie’s darkest storylines to date when she fell under the spell of her older boyfriend and sexual predator.

The controversial scenes saw Nathan groom and manipulate the 16-year-old before coercing her into sleeping with his friends, with one of them raping her.

Whitney Dean’s abuse from Tony in EastEnders – Since the age of 12, she had been in a twisted relationship with her stepmum Bianca’s boyfriend, Tony King. The predator had groomed young Whit (Shona McGarty), making her believe she was in love and planning to run away with him.

On her 16th birthday, the traumatised teen finally revealed the years of abuse to Bianca. Tony was swiftly sent to prison sentenced for 13 years.
