St Georges
Hello all, I'm Ross and I am new to Digital Spy. Since September 2009, I have been planning and creating my own Soap named St Georges. It is based on my school and has 38 characters in it. Lately though, I have been REALLY struggling with Storylines as they dont all seem to fit in and piece together. So, please any of you feel free to create storylines for my characters ( listed below ) and let me know your ideas! So far, my Soap has tackled issues, like: Drugs, Drink, Rape, Abuse, Murder, Asbestos Poisoning, Grief, Bullying, Anorexia and Self-Harm.
List Of Characters: Jonathan Hyde. Delia Hyde. Gavin Hyde. Kevin Hyde. Jason Hyde. Maria Hyde. Carey Hyde. Ryan Hyde. Beth Hyde. Andy Good. Eileen Good. Amy Morgan. Kylie Budd. Sophie Green. Luke Clarke. Jenny Clarke. Louisa Budd. Amber Rill. Tom Rill. Sarah Cunningham. Rachel Cunningham. Kerrie Cunningham. Hayley Cunningham. Leanne Gillian. Luci Piper. Nadine Jones. Tasmin Stone. George Lapsin. Lucas Lough. Joseph Lough. Kaine Morgan. Connor Brown. Georgia Costen. Max Walker. Ben Cox. Kyle Brown. Drake Alexander. I will soon reveal the backstory of each character on this thread, but please feel free to add Storylines, even if you don't know who they are associated with, just experiment! Many Thanks, Ross.

Firstly, how many episodes are you doing in a series? How many times a week?

The headteacher is called Mr George, so are all the teachers. All the boys are named George, and all the girls are named Georgia. And they buy their uniforms from George at ASDA.
Hardly confusing! |

Ha! Doing it three times a week is good, but remember in your first episode, you will need to find a way of introducing all of those characters. Perhaps in the first episode there may be a stabbing in the school, which brings everyone together. The fallout is that the stabbed boy's brother, tries to avenge for not helping his brother by joining a gang to help him toughen up. He tries to quit the gang and fails, and so the gang terrorise the school at their fete.

Having the characters live in the same area isn't a good idea - it's unrealistic. Yes, the school setting gives a community feeling. But ensure the characters live in different areas/houses - it is through where they live that their character stands out (council flat - lower class).

Possibly in a few years time, the caring and understanding caretaker which everyone likes and respects could die from Asbestos Poisoning or mesothelioma caused by asbestos. It would really raise awareness of asbestos and shock the viewers - killing off one major character will really grip the viewers and make them realise the show isn't cosy and lighthearted.

How about the murderer being one of their own family - perhaps named Jecklan Hyde?

Most of the suspects are his family. His whole family, The Hyde's, turn on him. And many other teachers and students to. This culunimates with him being pushe onto a coffee table by a mystery assilant and he dies instantly.

I was also thinking that Ryan Hyde ( Jonathan and Delia's son ) could get a Brain Tumour. Also, the suspects of Who Killed Jonathan Hyde? are: Delia, Beth, Gavin, Kevin, Jason, Maria, Carey and Ryan Hyde, ANdy & Elieen Good, Kylie Budd, Sophie Green, Sarah, Rachel, Kerrie & Hayley Cunningham, Leanne Gillian and Luci Piper!

Instead of him being pushed onto a table, during the Xmas special, someone guns him down at the fete. It could be his whole family, teachers, students etc. The killer actually turns out to be a student who Jonathan left injured after he was beaten up by some bullies. He angrily got his dad's rifle and with his dad by his side, managed to shoot Jonathan in the crowd and kill him. He is later placed in a young offenders' institute for murder.

Jonathan, as well as being manipulative, narcissistic and always wanting his own way, could also be a rapist. He could have sexually assaulted one of his own children (Maria maybe, who could be shy and introverted) as well as several other students, and when the truth starts to leak about his rapes, he kidnaps Maria in a basement in a deserted house. She isn't found until after Jonathan is shot dead, but she struggles to deal with life on the outside world after her imprisonment.

Kylie, Sophie, Sarah and Rachel may have all been sexually assaulted. Kerrie and Hayley Cunningham kidnapped along with Maria Hyde in the basement (should make for some good interaction), and Leanne Gillian attacked after searching relentlessly for her missing friend, Luci Piper, murdered by Jonathan for leaking details of her attack to the police. |

I have also always created the storyline where Jonathan rapes Beth. He goes on the run but secretly returns and on the same day is murdered. As everyone knows about the rape of Beth, all of the suspects that I mentioned before are shown to hate him for his crimes.

I have a storyline idea involving pyromania/personality disorder...but I'm not sure if it would fit into this soap...I'll post more if you think it could work...
It could be quite a gritty and dramatic storyline...and I don't think its really been covered in soap before...(might be wrong there, but I haven't heard of it)...so yeah. |
