McFadden ne is category mein kafi strong contenders ko haraya. Final nominees mein Eden Taylor-Draper (Emmerdale) jo Belle Dingle ka kirdar nibha rahi hain, Jack P Shepherd (Coronation Street) jo David Platt ke role mein hain, Sue Devaney (Coronation Street) jo Debbie Webster ka kirdar karti hain, aur Jacqueline Jossa (EastEnders) jo Lauren Branning ke role mein wapas aayi hain, shamil thein.
Award receive karte waqt McFadden ka reaction emotional tha. Jessie Wallace ne Michelle Ryan ke saath mil kar unhein award diya.
