This is our initial plan of characters, we wanted to hit every age group/ stereotype which is featured in modern day soaps such as Eastenders and Corrie with a key focus on teenage stereotypes as the 16-15 age bracket is our TA, so we have included the 'geek' the alpha male and Jack the lad characters for the typical schoolyard characters, but with the darker, more rebellious side of teenage life with drunks (binge drinkers), Drug addicts and junkies looking for their next fix. We want to make these stereotypes clear and show how to either avoid them or simply to raise awareness of the social impacts of these stereotypes and how real life events have a difference effect on each of them, we want to make this apparent in our trailer with the focus upon these stereotypes.
However, our soap is not only about teens, we also have plans to use a wide array of older characters, we aim to use a pub and other businesses/ extras who will have adult interaction and some adults will also have key roles in the storyline, such as the elderly couple who disapprove of the teen 'Jack the lads' swagger and look at their grandson,
