i am looking at hollyoaks and coronation street as my critcal reasearch for my a level work I need primary research so if you could could you please answer these questions for me. ![]() Male/Female - Femal Age - 23 Occupation - Marketing Assistant Where in the uk - East London What social class do you think that hollyoaks is based around? Working and Middle Class What social class do you think hollyoaks is aimed at? working class What age of the viewer do you think hollyoaks is aimed at? 12 - 30 year olds What are your opinions on the character Mercedes McQueen? Loud, brassy, bitchy, promiscuous, common (although i cant say to much coming from East London and being a cockney!!) What are your opinions on the character Zac Ramsey? One of the lads, likes football, nice guy also a bit common but not threatening at all, very likeable and easily identifyable. What are your opinions on the character Jessica Fox? Middle class daddy's girl, finds it difficult to manage in the real world unless someone else is picking up the tab (is it me or do you think the whole poor thing is leading somewhere, like hooking? God forbid they make Jess get a job and answer to a boss, she is too posh for that!) What are your opinions on the character Max Cunningham? Sweetest guy in Hollyoaks, funny, always seems to get the raw end of the deal, gos after girls that are a bit out of his league. Out of these 4 characters who would you most like to be friends with? Max Cunningham or Zac Ramsey Do you think that the more popular characters within the show in terms of the other characters views are of a higher class than those characters who are less favoured? No, the higher classes always seem to be portrayed as being stuck up and they are not very fairly represented at all. Most of them also seem to come from London and are just at HCC, the more grounded characters seem to be those that come from working class backgrounds. Do you think that the more popular characters within the show in terms of the viewers perception are of a higher class than those less favoured? No, again i think viewers like characters that they can identify with and although we like to see people like Jess because we love to hate them and they add some drama to the show, the longer lasting characters seem to be the ones from working class backgrounds (Max, Tony, OB, Jack Osbourne) hope these answers are okay. if not them pm me and i will be glad to help further. I also have a thread for my coronation street questionnaire which can be found here thanks[url="http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=18605915#post18605915"]http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=18605915#post18605915[/URL

All soaps are aimed firmly at females just look at the ads during the breaks. Many gay men watch them too, however str8 men do not unless their wife/girfriend is watching it and they have no real option.

Male/Female - Female
Age - 27 Occupation - Teacher Where in the uk - North East What social class do you think that hollyoaks is based around? Working/Middle What social class do you think hollyoaks is aimed at? Middle What age of the viewer do you think hollyoaks is aimed at? 14 plus What are your opinions on the character Mercedes McQueen? A crap Karen MacDonald clone. What are your opinions on the character Zac Ramsey? An underused character who is more often than not used just as a supporting role to other characters. What are your opinions on the character Jessica Fox? A copy of previous "spoilt rich girls" who have been in the show, such as Geri Hudson, Izzy Cornwell and Danni Carbone. What are your opinions on the character Max Cunningham? Loveable 'loser'. Works hard to have what he owns rather than having it handed to him like so many other characters. Max is also one of those characters who reminds longterm viewers of old school Hollyoaks. Out of these 4 characters who would you most like to be friends with? Max because you know where you are with him. Do you think that the more popular characters within the show in terms of the other characters views are of a higher class than those characters who are less favoured? Do you mean who the other characters regard as being popular? If so I think that the other characters see the higher class characters as a bit of a joke and are often the target of unkindness from others because of it. For example look how the lower class characters treated Jess when her dad went bankrupt, they all seemed to think she deserved it. Also think about the storyline with Bella Manning who faked her background because she thought she had to pretend to be better than she was...... the other characters took the micky out of her "posh ways" and how shocked they were when they found out she was just like them. They even said they wished she'd just been honest. Do you think that the more popular characters within the show in terms of the viewers perception are of a higher class than those less favoured? I think that many viewers like the idea of higher class characters such as Geri, Izzy, Danni and Jess because they can imagine what it would be like to have what they have. The only higher class character I remember not being a hit with viewers was Jez (played by Simon Cole). |

Male/Female - Female
Age - 19 Occupation - Student Where in the uk - Yorkshire What social class do you think that hollyoaks is based around? Working/Middle What social class do you think hollyoaks is aimed at? Middle What age of the viewer do you think hollyoaks is aimed at? Teens upwards til about 40's (my mom still watches it) What are your opinions on the character Mercedes McQueen? Whinging, selfish, annoying, loud, slaggy! What are your opinions on the character Zac Ramsey? Hasn't really done a lot as a character... seems more of a background/supporting character. Seems nice though, one of the lads really. What are your opinions on the character Jessica Fox? Spoilt girl struggling with responsibilities of the real world now that daddy is no longer supporting her. What are your opinions on the character Max Cunningham? Very loveable, sweet and almost jynxed (looking at his record with life anyway). Good person to have as a friend and a father figure (for tom) Out of these 4 characters who would you most like to be friends with? Max, because the two females would annoy me and i dont know much about Zak. Do you think that the more popular characters within the show in terms of the other characters views are of a higher class than those characters who are less favoured? Not really... the ones of higher class are normally ridiculed for a while because they come across as stuck up until something shocking and normal comes out about them. Do you think that the more popular characters within the show in terms of the viewers perception are of a higher class than those less favoured? I think that the more popular characters would vary on who the viewer could identify most with rather than what class the characters belong to. |

I need primary research so if you could could you please answer these questions for me. ![]() Male/Female - Female Age - 28 Occupation- Teacher Where in the uk - Surrey What social class do you think that hollyoaks is based around? Upper working class. Socio econmic group B, C1 and C2. What social class do you think hollyoaks is aimed at? All, its more age than class. What age of the viewer do you think hollyoaks is aimed at? 13 plus to 40. What are your opinions on the character Mercedes McQueen? I think she is abrupt and rude and selfish but occasionaly can be thoughtful although generally for her own self advancement. What are your opinions on the character Zac Ramsey? Quite kind and sometimes sensitive. Occasionally thoughtless but generally well intentioned. Also, quite attractive! What are your opinions on the character Jessica Fox? The character Jessica or the actress Jessica Fox? I'm going to answer for the chracter Jess, can be selfish but doesn't always realise. Sometimes is lovely but then the writers write some meaness into her to help a storyline. She is concerned about how others see her and doesn't always think long term. What are your opinions on the character Max Cunningham? Quite kind and naive. Getting tougher. Out of these 4 characters who would you most like to be friends with? Zac Do you think that the more popular characters within the show in terms of the other characters views are of a higher class than those characters who are less favoured? No. More well off characters are often shown to be quite selfish and snobby. Although Becca came from a well off back ground and was well favoured. Do you think that the more popular characters within the show in terms of the viewers perception are of a higher class than those less favoured? No. As above. I also have a thread for my coronation street questionnaire which can be found here thankshttp://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s...5#post18605915Thanks I enjoyed that! Are you doing an essay on the perception of class within soap? I'd be interested to find out what your thoughts are. |

Male
Age 17 Occupation student Where in the uk Bath What social class do you think that hollyoaks is based around? It has a nice mix of different classes. From Jess to Myra, there are characters from all different walks of life. What social class do you think hollyoaks is aimed at? I think that they use characters from a varity of classes so that the show appeals to them all. What age of the viewer do you think hollyoaks is aimed at? 16 What are your opinions on the character Mercedes McQueen? Gives women a bad name, but is a very good, complex character What are your opinions on the character Zac Ramsey? I love Zac! He's just your average student. What are your opinions on the character Jessica Fox? I like Jessica, and I felt sorry for her when her money dried up. What are your opinions on the character Max Cunningham? I really like Max. I think the way claire treated him made him very popular. I love his relationship with Tom. Out of these 4 characters who would you most like to be friends with? Zac or Jessica Do you think that the more popular characters within the show in terms of the other characters views are of a higher class than those characters who are less favoured? No. Claire was obviously of a more higher class than Carmel, but Carmel is obviously more popular! Do you think that the more popular characters within the show in terms of the viewers perception are of a higher class than those less favoured? No, the McQueens are probably the favourite family. |

Female
Age: 16 Occupation: Student Where in the UK: Exeter What social class do you think that hollyoaks is based around?Working/Middle What social class do you think hollyoaks is aimed at? Working/Middle What age of the viewer do you think hollyoaks is aimed at? Teenagers and students. What are your opinions on the character Mercedes McQueen? She's a bit of a slag. But we get to see her being nicer sometimes, normally with her family (e.g. Carmel thinking she'd been shot, at the hospital with John Paul) What are your opinions on the character Zac Ramsey? He's quite blokey, not as much as say Rhys, but more than Darren. Seems fairly nice, good friend to Jess, Zoe, etc. What are your opinions on the character Jessica Fox? She's reacting to her money problems badly, before all the debt and stealing she was a likeable enough character I thought, but now she's just a baddie. What are your opinions on the character Max Cunningham? Bless him, looking after Tom and OB. Don't like him with Steph though. Out of these 4 characters who would you most like to be friends with? Max, but I reckon Mercedes would probably be quite loyal to you if she were your friend. She'd get in a fight for you. Max probably wouldn't. Do you think that the more popular characters within the show in terms of the other characters views are of a higher class than those characters who are less favoured? I think Jess particularly is being shown quite disfavourably at the moment. But Summer seems to have more fans. Do you think that the more popular characters within the show in terms of the viewers perception are of a higher class than those less favoured? Not really. Katy's quite posh (well she went to a posh school), and no one likes her. |
