British Soap Award for Best Dramatic Performance
Annual British TV award
The British Soap Award for Best Dramatic Performance was an award presented annually by the British Soap Awards. From 2016 to 2019, the award was split into gendered categories; female and male. This was dropped in 2022 in favour of reintroducing it as a gender neutral category. The award is voted for by a panel. Coronation Street is the most awarded soap in the category, with ten wins, while EastEnders actress Lacey Turner has won the most, with three wins. The final accolade was awarded to EastEnders actor Steve McFadden.
