Group leader: Heather

Mersey Square, social realism soaps, centre of Stockport
Name of soap opera does this convey sub-genre, location and class of
characters?
Interesting characters? What do you like?

Are the storylines clear and engaging?

What do you like?

I like how every character is being interrogated by the detective, suspects for
the murder of Dom. Characters represent stereo types, chav, drunk etc.
Yes, makes you want to know who killed Dom. 4 suspects. I like how it is set in
Stockport in a real setting outside of Manchester

Adults, murder is a serious subject so would attract an older audience

Is there a clear audience for this product? Who do you think it is?

Would you watch this soap?

Yes because I would be intrigued to find out who murdered Dom. I enjoy
social realist soaps as to other sub genres

Indie, rebellious teenagers, Blake, Harper. Will, Andy, Lexis. Blake likes
partying. Working at a supermarket, not perfect. Different characters
Blake and Harper in a relationship. Will is Harpers ex. People think that Will is
a boy until the end where it reveals that she is a girl. Blakes paranoia.
