How important is eye candy to a soap?
A lot of people didn't like her because of her deemed lack of acting abilities, but some people just seemed annoyed that storylines revolved around Bridget Parker (Neighbours) over prettier, more peripheral characters!
So that's got me thinking, how important are 'sexy' characters to a soap? Would you find a soap less likeable or even switch off if the show was full of people you consider unattractive? |

If you want to look at hot people then watch porn movies, if you want to watch interesting dramas watch soaps

Good question. Reckon you need one or two popsies but keep the ratio realistic. The reason I stopped watching Emmerdale is that there were too many heavily made up 24/7 females. I don`t mind soaps being a bit unreal but it had gone beyond reasonable belief.
Yes, they are important but keep it parallel to real life. |

Not relevant at all to me - I find it irritating, unrealistic and insulting to viewers

The sublime Michelle Keegan is very important to my enjoyment of Corrie.

Depends for soaps like Corrie and Emmerdale who have a higher audience it isn't AS important but for soaps with younger viewers like EastEnders and most deffinately Hollyoaks it is important

Acting ability is important; how good they look isn't. I can't believe this is even being asked.

It's a bonus when there is someone hot you like, but I often find it a distraction and when they are not in the episode , I find it gutting, and I end up being angry!
I watch soaps for the storylines and characters above all else! |

Very important.
Lauren, Jodie, Poppy, Tyler and Anthony are the only reason I watch EE.

I thought it was quite a relevant question, particularly in this day and age when glamour and outward appearances seem to rule everything.

I think there should be one or two actors who are 'eyecandy' but personally i find most of the acting from these people is lacking. Tyler Moon, Tommy Duckworth <insert more names here> their acting isn't as good as their 'uglier/average' looking counterparts. I'd rather have a regular looking actor who can ACT than someone with a good face or body who can't make a scene believable.

Actually, my favourite CS characters are Norris, Rita, Emily, Bill, Roy. For eye-candy, it's Julie. Mary and Pam. |

Eye candy brings in viewers.
