Feminism in Hollyoaks

In lesson, we were asked to apply are learning of feminism to Hollyoaks, i based my work around the character of Nancy Hayton played by Jessica Fox. Fox describes her character saying "Nancy has "always got some kind of bitchy comeback for everyone". She explained that Nancy "says that you don’t have to be the skinny blonde or the skinny brunette, you can be the one who does whatever the hell she likes". Fox has described Nancy as "a bit of a moral compass for the show. She knows what's right and she's often the voice of that." This tells us that Nancy's character is strong and independent.
