This graph signifies that ‘Eastenders’ and ‘Hollyoaks’ are the most popular soap opera’s for viewers between the ages of 18 and 24. This is most probably due to the cast members being relatively young and appealing to modern viewers. Because of this, the issues presented would be more relatable to a younger audience.

All participants of my survey believe that female viewers are associated with watching soap operas. This connotes that the TV genre focuses on issues that appeal to a female audience.

This graph connotes that more viewers prefer for soap operas to focus their narrative on social issues for entertainment and the ability to relate to the character’s problems and issues.

These results signify that the majority of people watch soap opera’s just once a week. The connotations of this suggest that people prefer the wait between episodes and therefore can look forward to the following episode.

The connotations of these results mean that due to the target audience being women, there should be a female dominance in the programme when it comes to casting or character superiority in situations.

Soap operas stereotypically involve a lot of drama and that is the feature that keeps the interest of current viewers and possibly is the aspect that grabs potential viewers.
