Research: The super-imposed image portrayed in some soap operas- Hollyoaks

I looked at this photo in class and am looking at it again now to document my understanding of styalising in soaps.

These photos show how Hollyoaks has an uncommonly attractive cast, styalised to look good and attract the opposite sex, and henceforth, an audience. Also, it shows how real life would be like on the left, with an average pub and the people in it being normal and over- weight with average looks, but on the right, it shows how the cast look in a soap wanting to look sexualy attractive to its auience, and the people look like models, slim, stylish and beautiful. They also have an expensive breed of dog with its own little pink coat on, and the woman in the red dress is smiling in an attractive way and holding a wine glass to show her extravagance and class.

However, this way of being extravagant is unrealistic, and we want to keep our soap realistic, so this research has been realistic.
