(my photograph of the pub in our soap trailer in comparison to other pubs)In every soap, there is one major pub where all the characters gather. Pubs are places where the characters can chill out and talk, as well as the complete opposite by getting rowdy, drunk and starting fights. Eastenders has the Queen Vic, Coronation Street has the Rovers, and Emerdale has the Woolpack. As this seemed to be such a popular and recurring theme, we decided that we would have to include a pub at least in the background of our soap opera.

Another place that people frequent in soaps is a park. Parks are open areas where everyone is allowed, so both characters that get along and don't get along meet up there, on purpose or by accident. This means that a lot of drama can happen here, as well as the opposite, as parks have benches which gives the character a place to sit and talk calmly with others or even reflect on a current situation. It is important for characters to be able to take some time out from the current storyline and get away from a lot of the drama, like violence etc, and so a park or a quiet place would be a good setting to include in our soap.
