Hollyoaks bagged two gongs, including Best Soap - with EastEnders picking up only two awards, too
Coronation Street stars David Neilson and Julie Hesmondhalgh cleaned up at the British Soap Awards 2014 with a total of six wins between them.
The pair played husband and wife Roy and Hayley Cropper in the ITV series for 16 years until Hayley's screen death from pancreatic cancer in January.
Neilson and Hesmondhalgh were awarded Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Dramatic Performance (Neilson), Best On-Screen Partnership, Best Storyline for Hayley's cancer and Best Single Episode for Hayley's death.
Hesmondhalgh said of not working with Neilson any more: "It's like a marriage. We went out for a pint in Manchester the other week, it was lovely.
"I told him all the gossip, even though I'm not in it any more I know all the gossip and he doesn't.
"That kind of working relationship comes once in a lifetime."
Neilson explained the toll the storyline had taken on him: "My personal life was a complete write off last year because I was living Roy's life."
He added modestly of the storyline: "I'm glad we got the result but I don't do pride much."
Corrie's other wins included Outstanding Achievement for Helen Worth who has played Gail McIntyre for 40 years, Best Comedy Performance for Simon Gregson who plays Steve McDonald and Sexiest Female went to Michelle Keegan for the sixth year running.
Hollyoaks picked up Best Soap and Danny Mac, who plays Dodger Savage in the show, held on to his crown as Sexiest Male.
The Channel 4 soap also got Best Villain in Anna Passey who plays Sienna Blake, and Ellis Hollins won Best Young Performance as Tom Cunningham.
BBC soap EastEnders got just two awards - Best Newcomer for Maddy Hill as Nancy Carter and Outstanding Achievement Off Screen for company manager Carolyn Weinstein.
