Taken from BBC News:
Hollyoaks has scooped six trophies at the British Soap Awards, beating Coronation Street and EastEnders.
Chris Fountain and Emma Rigby won best actor and actress for the Channel 4 programme, with other wins including best on-screen partnership.
But EastEnders won best soap among four prizes, with Coronation Street taking a total of five awards.
Liz Dawn, who played Vera Duckworth until her exit earlier this year, won the lifetime achievement award.
Another of the Manchester-based soap's veteran actresses, Maggie Jones, won best comedy performance for her portrayal of Blanche Hunt.
Michelle Keegan, who recently arrived as Tina McIntyre in the show, was named best newcomer, while Rob James Collier, who plays Liam Connor, scooped sexiest male for the second successive year.
EastEnders' slow-burning storyline about Max Branning and Stacey Slater's affair scooped best storyline, with best dramatic performance for Jo Joyner, the actress who plays Max's wife Tanya.
Another Albert Square winner was actor Jamie Borthwick (Jay Brown), who won best dramatic performance from a young actor or actress.
Emmerdale won two awards including best single episode, which dealt with the sudden death of Ashley and Laurel's baby son Daniel.
BBC One's Doctors, the other soap eligible for the awards, failed to win any prizes.
Hollyoaks' other awards included spectacular scene of the year and best exit for Clare Cunningham, played by Gemma Bissix.
The actress has since rejoined EastEnders as Clare Tyler, a role she first played from 1993 to 1998.
The awards ceremony was held at BBC Television Centre in west London, and the winners were determined by a mixture of panel and viewer voting.
