From the red carpet to the winners circle, if you will, we have a list of the soaps and stars who took home a golden statuette.
Please remember that since Beyond the Gates debuted in February 2025, the show was not eligible to take part in this year’s awards. However, you can bet that the much-loved soap will find a place in next year’s nominations.
