Through the audition process and actor finalisation we have discovered that some of the actors that we had in mind to include in our soap, either do not fit the roles or have other commitments on the day of filming. Also, as our soap is similar to that of Hollyoaks we have realised that there are not many older characters and we feel that the younger characters will appeal to our target audience. We have therefore had to change the demographic of the characters involved in the soap and change the concept from focusing on the people of Blossom Hill as a whole to focusing on the youths of Blossom Hill. We are still keeping the same target audience but are adjusting some of the characters to fit the younger role.
The characters who we are changing:
The Business Man- He will now be a young, irresponsible entrepreneur who can't handle all the money he is receiving and begins wasting it on whatever he wants including drugs.
The Single Mum- She will now be a young single mum who had a teenage pregnancy due to an unfortunate event when she was 13 and this was rape.
The Couple- They will now be a younger couple but still with the same storyline of the love triangle.
The Daddies Girl- As we are not including older characters we have decided to make the daddies girl the innocent girl. We feel that having this character will be better for the bitchy girl storyline and our demographic audience will be able to relate more this type of situation.
We have had to cut two characters from the soap and these are the Sugar Daddy and his girlfriend. This has had to happen due to the older actor being unavailable on the day and also we feel that the character now may not fit with the other young actors/characters.
