The 2011 Hollyoaks cast |
There were a total of 16 characters, 9 females and 7 males, all approximately aged between 20 and 30 which implies that the target audience is both males and females in their late teens to thirties or demographic groups B and below. A majority of the characters were white though 2 characters from other ethnicities were used, perhaps as tokenism, in order to produce verisimilitude and reflect a British city or town and help the audience to identify with the characters (Uses and Gratifications Theory).
