Evaluation of 4 characters from 2 different TV dramas

Holby City:
Chantelle Lane:
- She is always happy showing her to show her positivity and joy in her life
- Some of the other characters over power her making her appear small and inferior
- When you first see her you would assume her to be a stereotypical blonde girl as she pretty and blonde
- Has been involved in a car accident but soon goes back to work - stronger than she first appears
- She and a co-worker were attacked by muggers - shows weak (young girl, less power)
- Often wearing a heavy coat of make-up such as fake eyelashes, showing she wants to impress others and may lack self confidence


Jac Naylor:
- Can be seen as a bully to other workers as she speaks her mind
- Often seen as superior and has control over what others do, including male workers
- She has a strong position in her career also portraying strength
- She is strong-minded and forward
- In order to achieve her goal she is willing to hurt others
- Is the dominant partner in the relationship
- Can sometimes show compassion




Neighbors:
Callum Jones:
- Had a troubled start to life - mother left him at the age of 6, did not know his father and was left in the care of his grandparents
- He would act as a troublemaker due to his poor upbringing - e.g. stealing and bunking school
- Had an adoptive father - finally found stability
- A stereotypical young boy which will create havoc for attention
- Callum's character shows that he is a young boy looking for somebody to love him
- Typical young male teen clothing - people similar to him will be able to relate to him

Amber Turner:
- Seen as a friendly, spirited and naive character - the qualities of a typical teenage girl - relatable
- Typical teenage girl dealing with issues involving love and heart break, teenage girls will be able to relate to her as many will experience the same things

- Also has a close relationship with brothers - appears as a loving, strong family
- As a 17 year old girl she is experiencing new things which an adult would face
