The winner of each of the three categories will be voted for by the public, with the others decided by a panel of soap experts.
'EastEnders' actors Rakhee Thakrar (Shabnam Masood) and Davood Ghadami (Kush Kazemi) are up for Best Actress and Best Actor thanks in part to their work on their emotional stillbirth storyline.
Rakhee will go up against Diane Parrish (Denise Fox) and Lacey Turner, who has been widely praised for her portrayal of Stacey Branning's struggles with postpartum psychosis. Davood has been nominated alongside co-stars Danny Dyer (Mick Carter) and James Bye (Martin Fowler).
