A slide I created in powerpoint to demonstrate the tradition of soaps.
The programs run every week for years building a consistency in the episodes.
This is an example of the longest running character in Coronation Street. Ken Barlow was part of the orignal 1939 cast and is still playing his character in the program. The continuity of characters enables audiences to watch characters develop and it feels like we are growing with them and getting to know them like real people.
These relationships we build with characters in realist soaps are very important to the program's success as viewers keep tuning in to see the cast they know so well.
