Casting Information

After completing our audtitoning process we have made our final decisions on the people who will play the roles in our soap opera trailer. The cast list is as follows:

Dan -












The character of Dan will be played by Tom Le Gresley. We have chosen Tom because we liked the way he acted in the audition. He was convincing and could make the audience think he was genuine. He also reminds us of someone who is very down to earth meaning he can be easily related to, making use of the uses and gratifications theory of identification.


Helen -














The character of Helen will be played by Hannah Blakemore. We have chosen Hannah because she has a very bubbly personality and this is what we are looking for in an excited character about to get married.

George-















The character of George will be played by Oliver Moss. We chose Oliver becuase he acted in a way which brought to life the ideas we had for the character of George. For example the way he said the line 'Helen, why can't you be mine?' was very emotional.

Julia -














The character of Julia will be played by Jasmine Lee. We have chosen Jasmine because she managed to pull off a very good and convincing role of a pensioner. This is very important to us as we would find it hard to arrange actual elder cast members for our filming.

Peggy -













The character of Peggy will be played by Kirsty Dwyer. We have chosen Kirsty because, like Jasmine, she created a very convincing character as a pensioner. Her acting skills were very good and she had good camera presence.

Jenny -















The character of Jenny will be played by Jennifer Pike. We have chosen her because of her performance in the audition.

Jennys Father -















Jennys father will be played by Tayo O Martins. We have chosen Tayo because he created a very authortitve role in the auditions which is what we were looking for.

Vicar -
















The character of the vicar will be played by Harry Murden. We have chosen Harry because he put across a serious face, it is important for the vicar role to be a serious character as he will be conducting a wedding.
