EastEnders actor 'shuts down' critics after BBC castmates are BOOED at Soap Awards - revealing what really happened at star-studded bash
EastEnders actor Colin Salmon has 'shut down' critics after some of his co-stars were apparently BOOED at the Soap Awards over the weekend. On Saturday night (May 31 2025), the stars of the UK's much-loved soaps gathered at the Hackney Empire in London to attend the annual star-studded bash. And it saw EastEnders stars Rudolph Walker and Angela Wynter, who play Patrick and Yolande Trueman, won Best On-Screen Partnership on the night. Some fans have taken to social media and a forum to discuss how they had apparently heard that the pair had been booed on stage as they received their gong. So Colin, who plays George Knight in EastEnders, took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to reveal exactly what happened. Colin said: 'Just want to clarify; No one was booing Rudi and Angela at the@SoapAwards we were singing RUUUDI , RUUUDI , RUUUDI. 'Which obviously confused some people. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Some fans have taken to social media and a forum to discuss how Rudolph Walker and Angela Wynter (pictured) had been booed on stage as they received their gong 'Appreciate some were concerned, as we should be, but it's all good.' '#NoDrama#WeLovePatrickandYolande @bbceastenders.' One fan wrote on Walford Web forum: 'Been hearing that Swarla fans were booing Rudolph and Angela as they went on stage. F**king 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. Disgusting.' Another added: 'There are some tweets going about saying they were booing but now seeing mixed reports saying there was no booing.' Many fans replied to his tweet to share their thanks. One said: 'Thanks for clarifying, especially as some of us Corrie fans, who were cheering just as hard for the win, were being blamed for the non-existent booing.' 'but thank you for clarifying that down on the floor where y'all were, everyone was cheering. that's lovely to hear, congrats to you all.' Rudolph Walker and Angela Wynter, who play Patrick and Yolande Trueman, (pictured) won Best On-Screen Partnership on the night 'Thankyou for shutting the rumours down Colin xx.' 'Thank you for saying this Colin congrats on the win for Best Soap.' Rudolph Walker has played Patrick in the BBC soap since 2001. Meanwhile Angela took on the role of Yolande in 2003 and has played the character on off since then. The pair were up against some tough competition, including Coronation Street's Carla Connor and Lisa Swain (Alison King and Vicky Myers), as well as Emmerdale's Caleb and Ruby Miligan (William Ash and Beth Cordingly) and Hollyoaks' Dillon Ray and Lucas Hay (Nathaniel Dass and Oscar Curtis). EastEnders left its rivals in the dust as the show took home eight gongs at the British Soap Awards. Meanwhile Hollyoaks received three, Emmerdale two and Coronation Street only got one. They kicked off their wins with Best Episode which went to Phil's Psychosis: The Mitchells In 1985. EastEnders also won Scene of the Year for Angie Watts' Shock Return while Navin Chowdhry won Best Villain for his role of Nish Panesar. Steve McFadden, who plays fan favourite Phil Mitchell, won the Best Dramatic Performance award while Patsy Palmer won Best Comedic Performance for her role as Bianca Jackson. Rudolph Walker & Angela Wynter (Patrick & Yolande Trueman) delivered another win for EastEnders as they won Best On-Screen Partnership.
