Character Influence - Kaylie and Haylie
(BCS & BCS Later Characters)

Katie & Emily Fitch



Mel & Sophie Burton

I was inspired by the skins characters 'Katie and Emily Fitch'  and Hollyoaks characters 'Sophie and Mel Burton' for my twins Kaylie and Hayley characters although my twins are identical but they have different hair colours as they dye their hair, like both sets of the tv twins in their later years on the shows.

I chose to base the characters mainly on the skins twins but I also think that a part of the hollyoaks twins personalities would reflect well on my characters. Mel Unlike Sophie, was quiet and introverted and often felt inferior to her more outgoing sister and this is what i want Hayleys character to be like, and this is also the case of Katie and Emily. Mels character was seen as the 'ugly' twin which is what I want my character Hayley to be seen as to the other characters in the show, but the audience would disagree I assume.

They will be the schools popular pretty bully/bitch that doesn't care about school and only being popular and the less popular embaressing christian/grade A student.

When first seeing Katies character I imidiatly wanted to dress Kaylie like this too as Katie is seen as a 'mean girl', whereas when i first saw Emilys outfit i wanted to dress Hayleys character in the same type of clothes as her.

Katies costume is a combination of slutty clothes, whilst Kaylies school uniform is also slutty with a very short skirt, very low buttoned shirt and high heels to show she is rebellious, she also wears clothes like Katie outside of school. 

Emilys costume is a combination of fashionable urban clothes, while Haylies school uniform is perfect top button and long shirt, she also wears clothes like Emily outside of school.

Katies hair and jewelery convey someone with a lot of attitude and creates a glamourous look, and I want the same for my character, therefor I have decided to use exspensive earrings and dyed blonde, curled hair like Sophie, short skirts and a lot of bright colours to show an attention seeking teenage girl.

Emilys hair and jewelery convey someone with very low confidense, this is also like Mel's character I want the same for my character Hayley, i have decided to use minimum jewelery and wavy hair like Mel, long shirt and wearing nothing to attract a lot of attention to her.
