The nominations for the 2025 Inside Soap Awards have been revealed, and Coronation Street is once again in the spotlight.

About the Inside Soap Awards
Established in 1996 by Inside Soap magazine (which is now part of DigitalSpy), the Inside Soap Awards are among the most prominent accolades in the British soap industry. These awards honour exceptional performances, compelling storylines, and unforgettable characters from the world of soap operas. What sets the Inside Soap Awards apart is their democratic nature – the winners are determined entirely by public vote, making them a true reflection of audience sentiment.
Vicky Myers: Best Actress Nominee
Vicky Myers has been nominated for Best Actress for her compelling portrayal of Detective Sergeant Lisa Swain. Since arriving on the cobbles, Myers has brought a remarkable depth to the character, combining professionalism with emotional vulnerability. Her character’s involvement in high-profile investigations, personal struggles, and moral dilemmas has offered Myers a wide emotional range to explore, and she has delivered at every turn. Her performance has been widely praised for its authenticity and nuance, earning her this prestigious nomination.
Alison King and Vicky Myers: Best Partnership
In addition to her solo nod, Myers shares a nomination with Alison King for Best Partnership. Together, they portray Lisa Swain and Carla Connor, a duo that has captured viewers’ attention through their complex, dynamic relationship. Their on-screen chemistry has been a highlight over the past year, blending tension, mutual respect, and emotional resonance.
The partnership has developed significantly recently as the two characters have been involved in several key storylines that required them to navigate high-stakes scenarios together (hostage-gate one and two). Whether clashing in moments of conflict or supporting each other through crisis, their interactions have been consistently engaging and emotionally grounded. It is this layered relationship that has earned them recognition as one of the year’s most compelling on-screen pairings.
How to vote
With the public vote now open over at insidesoap.co.uk/awards, fans have the opportunity to support their favourite performers and partnerships. The vote closes on Friday 29th August, and the winners will be announced later this autumn, and anticipation is already building among soap enthusiasts.
For Vicky Myers and Alison King, the nominations are a testament to their talent and the strength of Coronation Street’s storytelling. Whether they take home the trophies or not, their work has clearly resonated with audiences, and that is an award in itself.
