Rivals EastEnders, Emmerdale and Casualty were in the running, with medical drama Casualty scooping the prize at last night’s ceremony.

It followed a year of change which saw original Casualty character Charlie Fairhead (Derek Thompson) exit the BBC series. 

While not nominated, the cast of Coronation Street appeared to enjoy a ‘Corrie Funday’ on the cobbles.

Multiple cast members took to social media and shared posts of loved ones joining them on set.

Alan Halsall, who has played mechanic Tyrone Dobbs since 1998, posed with daughter Sienna-Rae outside Webster’s autocentre, where Tyrone works.

Meanwhile, Billy Mayhew actor Daniel Brocklebank posed with partner Jordan Coulthard outside Billy, Paul and Summer’s flat on Rosamund Street.

Jordan captioned this post: “A picture on a fictional street outside the fictional flat in which my real life partner’s fictional character lives with his fictional husband and fictional daughter. This is real life.”

Additionally, Jordan shared a photo of himself and Daniel standing outside the Rovers Return Inn.
