The ITV soap has been riding high after the devastating death of Paul Foreman last year and the huge house fire as David Platt spirals out of control.
Voting is now open for the first round of the British Soap Awards and the public have until April 25 at 5pm.
The second round of voting will happen from May 1 and May 30, where the Best Leading Performer category will be whittled down to four big names.
The swanky bash will take place at the Hackney Empire in London on May 31 and will air on ITV1 in June.
Jane McDonald will host once more after stepping in in 2023 to replace disgraced presenter Phillip Schofield.
The long-running ITV celebration of all things soap as the best and brightest from Coronation Street, Emmerdale, EastEnders and Hollyoaks face off to win awards.
EastEnders will no doubt be expecting to win big after its 40th anniversary live episode.
The BBC soap drafted in old favourites from its 40 year history in the run-up to last week’s special.
ITV rival Emmerdale also pulled out all the stops for a dramatic limo crash stunt week that saw FOUR shocking deaths revealed.
And Hollyoaks has revived itself after a tough few years that saw its weekly episodes slashed by 40 per cent – down to three per week.

However it’s year-long time jump and strong storylines have revitalised the show just in time for the awards.
After a year long hiatus when the show was mysteriously cancelled last year, it returns to screens this summer.
Corrie actor Jack is set to enter the Celebrity Big Brother compound – which returns to ITV1 tonight – along with 13 famous faces.
The Sun recently reported how the David Platt star signed up for the show despite shunning reality TV for years.
The star, who is thought to make £250k a year on the cobbles, has finally decided to take the plunge after being offered an impressive pay cheque.
The actor, 37, will be tying the knot to Hanni Treweek in just four months time after popping the question in 2024 on safari in Africa.
Jack will be entering the house alongside Mickey Rourke, Ella Rae Wise and JoJo Siwa.
Also entering the famous house are chat show host Trisha Goddard and double-Olympic gold medallist Daley Thompson.
