The British Soap Award for Best Dramatic Performance is 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 having a gender neutral category again.[1] 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 award is currently held by Coronation Street actress Charlotte Jordan.
