Hollyoaks applying Todorov and Propp!!!

TIME & DATE: Friday, at 6:30pm

SUMMARY: Lauren tries to make herself heard in front of Newt about the incident that happened and how it was her fault, but however Newt doesn't seem interested in speaking to her or taking any of her calls, Lauren asks Anita to speak to Newt on her behalf instead she sees Anita in Newts arms, this results to a beat up Anita!...

APPLYING PROPP: Propp believed that in every drama/film a character played a certain role...
Hero: Newt becomes the hero as he saved Darren's life after suffering from a panic attack.
Villain: Lauren who beats up Anita
Helper: Anita who tries solving stuff between Newt and Lauren.
False hero: also Lauren who seems innocent but later tries to attack her own mate.

APPLYING TODOROV: At the beginning of the drama everything is back to normal since Darren is bought back home and recovers from his panic attack, later their is some confusion between Lauren and Newt which later the audience becomes aware of. The confusion then turns to a disaster when Lauren then attacks Anita however in this episode we did not see the confusion returning back to some sort of equilibrium, it was left as a cliffhanger!
