Don't watch any of the other soaps, but I just can't see Marc Baylis (Rob Donovan) winning. He's not a newcommer, first of all...
He's horrible, second of all. Must have the same smirking, errrr, acting coach as Kate Ford.
I would rather vote for baby Lily as best newcomer!
The networks set up these ridiculous competitions to generate interest and thus, ratings, which translate to advertising revenue. Viewers like to see that their favourites are "winners" in these "competitions". It reassures them that they made good choices. [Psychologists call it "confirmation bias".]
So everybody "wins"! But it's all MEANINGLESS!! If we refused to participate, these silly competitions and awards would stop!
Just wishing!
