Alternative readings:
Most the characters are represented negative who are involved in a lot of arguments, fooling around, cheating, not fitted in a certain spot. This gives the audience an ideology about what the character is like it makes us see the drama from the producers view point.

Summary of story
The Christmas special was about Louise finally trying to take revenge from the guy she is supposed to be marrying who is warren!
but things go wrong when warren has another plan...

Target audience

Hollyoaks is mainly targeted at young adults and adults, mostly because the drama contains very young actors which attracts a younger audience...

ways representation is conveyed
In this drama there is the positive and negative side of a individual person, This can be shown by the arguments, break ups, make ups and fall-outs. The Blondie girls in the drama are represented as dumb however the brunettes are classed as more mature, this is a clear example of how representation is used. mostly which is used in a stereotypical way of presenting a person.

Binary opposition
Binary opposition is the opposite of another.. for example in this drama the audience is introduced to the:
good/bad
mature/immature
dumb/clever
gay/straight
