A wise, older character. Male or female. This person usally provides advice and support to the soap's younger generation and family members. An example: Pat Butcher in Eastenders.
The Strong Independent Woman
This powerful, sometimes agressive woman can usually be found at the centre of the soap's conflicts. However a countertype quality is usually used where in some scenes she is shown to be soft on the inside of her hard nut image. Maybe shown if she becomes involved in a love interests, but dicipitates after a break up. For example: Kat Slater in Eastenders.
In our soap Bathwood Drive the character of Michelle Malone would fit this stereotype. She is the matriarch of the Malone family and is the rock that holds them all together.
Freida from our soap BathwoodJack-the-Lad
A male character that uses other people as means to his own ends, sometimes labelled as the 'baddie'. Over time he could be softened and used to include comedic humour within the soap. Such as Alfie Moon in Eastenders, he served time in prison but is also the shows main source of gaining laughs.
In Bathwood Tommy Bagwell would fit this stereotype. He is the comedic element when with his loved ones however he isn't afraid to get violent when Scott finds out about his affair with Michelle.

The puppy love storyline is a classic. Sometimes after facing adversity of being kept apart- maybe by their parents objections. A classic example of this would be Sonia and Jamie from Eastenders.
Feisty Young Female
A typical teenage girl, usually spoilt and argumentative, later in time she could portake the role of the Strong Independent Woman. For example Rosie Webster in Coronation Street.
In our soap Bathwood Freida Malone would fit this stereotype. She is the rebellious teenage daughter of the Malone family; represented when her drinking problem is hinted at in the soap trailer, with her passed out with a bottle of wine.

An older, grumpy, humbug-type character, who is cynical and criticizes others. Stcking their noses into other people's business. However through their faults they are deep down good people. Such as Blanche in Coronation Street.
The Boss Figure
Usually a male in the role of authority. Sometimes the pub landlord or an entrepeneur of the local busniesses. He is like this in both his professional and personal life. Such as Warren in Hollyoaks.
In our soap Bathwood Barry Malone would fit this sterotype.He is the gambling business man, symbolised in the trailer with him shuffling a pack of cards with a determined facial expression.
