That's a shame. She should have gotten it, although I don't know who she was up against. She seemed a shoe in....Maybe the BAFTA's just aren't ready to give soaps that kind of validation. I know it has happened in the past, but wasn't it like 40 years ago?

I'm not sure when Jean Alexander (Hilda Ogden off Corrie) won, but it was more likely in the 80s.
