ainst Zoe , in order to frame her for Sarah’s murder, which she committed as a result of her consumed jealousy. Her guilt and fear has lead her to create a

web of lies for herself and turn many people against Zoe. Zoe is eventually let out after pleading not guilty, and being found so! Lydia at this point becomes obsessed with Zoe as she reels her in with the notion that “it is what Sarah would of wanted”. Eventually Lydias, murderous betrayal is uncovered and Zoe becomes her next victim.

She goes on a rampage for Zoe and ends up stabbing her, in the hope she will end up dead also.

This on going plot in Hollyoaks has become a large influence in terms of our plot/film. As it is very interesting as well as original. The use of characters themselves as well as narrative provides the audience with a graphic description of the plot as well as a representation of people living in that state of mind. This is a big help as it gives us ideas of what we may include as well as character behavioral ideas.
