Anyone Watch The Soap Awards?

[DarceyK123]

When Danielle Harold collected her award she appeared to hug the presenter and then make a face and wipe her hand.

Really odd, did anyone else notice?

Seems you'll have to run with this on your own.

I didn't so I have just watched on YouTube and you are right. Around 4 minutes 46 here https://youtu.be/kZxNWRa9pDc

Why do the audience have to scream and whoop every time someone's name is mentioned or an award is announced?

[DarceyK123]

Thanks Barry, just watched your clip, she definitely did.

Why is it even on TV?

[smurfchops]

Who is Danielle Harold??

[smurfchops]

Probably grease in Jayne McDonald’s hair. Couldn’t have been that bad, she put her hands on her face afterwards.

I think she was just nervous, before that any time the camera focused on her she looked miserable

I agree with elliemay. The girl looked shocked as she was announced the winner. She hugged Susan Lynch, not Jane McDonald. Inevitably, most winners at all the award programmes "pull a face" unless they are terribly smug. I thought she was taking in a deep breath. She flexed her right hand first and transferred the trophy from her left to right hand, then flexed her left hand. She used her hands a lot in her acceptance either expressively or nervously. It would be difficult to wipe a hand on a shiny trophy.

Smurf, it wasn't Jane Mcdonald she hugged

[elliemay1]

It was probably a bittersweet moment for her as she had wanted to stay in Eastenders but was written outhttps://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12145019/Lolas-death-Danielle-Harold-left-EastEnders.html#:~:text=Why%20is%20Danielle%20leaving%20EastEnders,due%20to%20the%20tragic%20ending.

Sorry!

// In June 2022, it was revealed that Danielle would be leaving EastEnders with her character being written out in the tragic storyline. At the time, a source claimed that Danielle had been left 'in pieces' at the news, which has left her no option to return due to the tragic ending.//

elliemay, I haven't watched the soaps for decades but based on that short video, the research she carried out and the award, I hope she sees her acting as an investment in her time and effort leading to further roles.
