EastEnders star slams critics after claims co-stars were booed at Soap Awards
A star of long-running BBC soap EastEnders has moved to deny allegations his co-stars were booed after winning a prestigious award at this year's Soap Awards in London at the weekend A star of EastEnders has "shut down" critics after claims some cast members were booed at the weekend's Soap Awards. As soap stars flocked to the Hackney Empire in London on Saturday, May 31, it's alleged a number of EastEnders actors were met with boos at the annual event. Rudolph Walker and Angela Wynter, who star as Patrick and Yolande Trueman on the BBC soap, won Best On-Screen Partnership on the night. And after an apparent mixed reaction, fellow star Colin Salmon has now had his say on the incident. Colin, who plays the role of George Knight in the long-running soap, voiced his opinion on X/ Twitter. Trying to explain exactly what had happened, he said: "Just want to clarify; No one was booing Rudi and Angela at the@SoapAwards we were singing RUUUDI , RUUUDI , RUUUDI. " He added the interaction had "obviously confused some people". "Appreciate some were concerned, as we should be, but it's all good," he added before signing off: "'#NoDrama#WeLovePatrickandYolande @bbceastenders." His clarity comes after fans had been calling the alleged booing "sickening". "Can't believe Swarla fans or whatever they're called booing Angela and Rudolph and them having to do a retake on their award," one wrote on Walford Web forum. "Disgusting," they added. Another said: "There are some tweets going about saying they were booing but now seeing mixed reports saying there was no booing." And others took to Colin's post to thank him for trying to explain what had happened. "Thank you for saying this Colin congrats on the win for Best Soap," one relieved user told him. EastEnders were big winners at this year's ceremony. They soap had been nominated for 13 nominations over 12 categories prior to the event. And they were crowned victorious of the top gong, being named Best British Soap. They beat Emmerdale, Coronation Street and Hollyoaks to the coveted accolade. In total, the show bagged eight awards. Other accolades included Steve McFadden picking up Best Dramatic Performance and Best Single Episode for Phil Mitchell's psychosis. The wins come in the soap's 40th anniversary year. Elsewhere, Hollyoaks were handed three awards, Emmerdale won two and Coronation Street walked away with one - the Outstanding Achievement Award to David Neilson, who has played Roy Cropper for 30 years. The biggest names in soapland dazzled on the glitter carpet at the glitzy event- with Hollyoaks actress Jorgie Porter and Corrie favourite Tina O'Brien both looking sensational in the same dress, a sparkly Oh Polly number. Speaking ahead of her win for scene of the year, EastEnders legend Anita Dobson gushed: 'It was just perfect.' When she was asked if she could return again, she added: 'I don't think so, although I should say never say never, it would have to be something extra special.'
