Updated: British Soap Awards 2009: Full Panel Shortlist

Yep, here we are again. We're just days off the eleventh annual British Soap Awards which, each year, sees hoards of soap stars throw on their wardrobe best for the glitzy bash held at BBC's London Television Centre on Saturday night.

Until then, though, here are the final four nominations in each of the panel-voted categories, listed in alphabetical order by soap. Don't forget to check back just after midnight on Sunday for the complete winners' list and, once I've sobered up, some gossip from the red carpet and bash itself!

By default, each soap has 15 nominations in the public-voted categories and in the nine panel-voted categories each show has a different number. This year, Hollyoaks has nominations in every award category, EastEnders eight, Corrie has seven, while Emmerdale and Doctors has six.

Now while I go and buy a nice gold tie, you can continue to vote for your Best Soap by clicking here. Voting closes at 3pm on Friday, May 8.
