Every year Soapland's biggest stars come together to celebrate their achievements - with a bevvy or five.
Tonight will see the casts of Coronation Street , Emmerdale, EastEnders and Hollyoaks gather to find out who is top dog at the Inside Soap Awards 2019.
And after a refined evening of polite clapping, once the ceremony is done it's time for the stars to get messy.
More often than not, it's a case of go big, then go home with many a star spotted beating a bleary-eyed retreat in the early hours.
Emmerdale's Charley Webb, who plays Debbie Dingle, looked like she was struggling to keep her eyes open as she clambered into the back of a taxi with Corrie-turned-EastEnders boss Kate Oates after last year's boozy do.
Her co-star Emma Atkins (Charity Dingle) didn't appear to be keen on the idea of home time, wailing to a friend as she clutched her phone and goodie bag.
EastEnders' Kellie Bright (Linda Carter) excelled herself, appearing to take a nap in an upright position while still clinging to the door.
And her co-star Lorraine Stanley (Karen Taylor) looked like she'd had a thoroughly lovely time as she left the party and stopped to rootle around for some change.
Meanwhile, back in her Corrie hey day Michelle Keegan used to give them a run for their money.
The Manchester-born actress looked to be in desperate need of a lie down after celebrating her third consecutive Sexiest Female win in 2011.
Michelle, who played Tina McIntyre for six years until 2014, wore a pained expression and make-up smeared across her face as she tried to rip her VIP wristband off in the back of a car.
And her former Corrie co-star Jack P Shepherd (David Platt) appeared to be in a similar state in 2018 after scooping the Best Actor gong for his harrowing rape storyline.
His on-screen sister Tina O'Brien (Sarah Platt) also appeared to have made the most of the party - and the bag full of goodies that came with it.
Her soap daughter Lucy Fallon (Bethanny Platt) cut a stylish but dishevelled picture as she posed in her red tux and trainers with bags of belongings strewn at her feet.
And Hollyoaks' Jennifer Metcalfe needed a helping hand from a onlooker as she nearly took a tumble in her towering heels.
The Mercedes McQueen actor appeared unsteady on her feet as the stumbled out of the glitzy bash with a huge grin on her face.
And her fellow Hollyoaks' star Duncan James also had a riot, getting close to a mystery lady on the back seat of his taxi.
The former Blue singer - who came out as gay in 2014 - wrapped his arms around the pretty blonde before the enjoyed a steamy smooch.
Emmerdale's Danny Miller had a very cheeky message for his fans, flipping the bird to the camera after clambering into a waiting cab.
The star who plays Aaron Dingle in Emmerdale was clearly in a celebratory mood after bagging the Best Actor gong.
And his co-stars put on a raucous display in 2018 when they tried - and failed - to take a selfie.
Having won Best Soap for three years running, they lost out to Corrie in 2018 thanks to a year of dramatic storylines from Weatherfield including Pat Phelan's murder spree, David's assault and Aidan Conner's suicide.
Not that the Emmerdale cast - with Emma Atkins at the helm - seemed to let that dampen their spirits as they attempted to pose on mass.
Meanwhile, Lauren Goodger might not have been in a soap but she was still in the mood to celebrate in 2013.
The former The Only Way Is Essex star put in a boozy appearance when she was spotted tumbling out of the awards in a precariously positioned bandage dress.
