Well, it seems forum members had a hard time picking their favourite men! Unable to pick a decisive winner for Best Drama Male, resulting in a tie, people were also spoilt for choice when it came to BEST SOAP MALE as well! As a result, The Avenue scores it's second WRIXA with Dylan Baker, whilst new project High Hopes wins its first award for Josh Connor. Both scored 37.5% of the vote.

Runner Up: Oscar Clark (Uncertain Nights)

Best Soap Female
Tspw2013bestsoapfemalew














Meanwhile, BEST SOAP FEMALE also proved quite a battle - but in the end, the forum plucked for luckless Georgia Seaby as their queen of soap with a vote of 62.5%

Runner Up: Lisa Hopkins (These Days)

Best Soap Scene
Tspw2013bestsoapscenewi















Noxy certainly had an... interesting dilemma with this category - himself vs. himself! Although fans raved about Spike Cooper's shocking attack scene, in the end they voted for Holly Wainwright's Death as their BEST SOAP SCENE, with a decisive 62.5% of the vote to give These Days it's second WRIXA of the night - and 23rd altogether. This is the third of four occasions when These Days has won the award for Best Soap Scene. It will be some comfort to Noxy for Holly not winning Best Exit
