  • What Ideas Do Viewers Have About
    A Discursive Thematic Analysis of Audience Response Towards the Portrayal of Mental Distress in United Kingdom Soap Operas EDWARD SMITH A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the University of East London for the doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology July 2012 ABSTRACT The potential for stigmatising public attitudes to have a negative impact on the wellbeing of individuals identified as experiencing mental distress has been widely documented. The contribution of the mass media towards public attitudes surrounding mental distress has attracted particular interest, particularly that of television portrayals. Research into the influence of the media towards public attitudes has focused on a ‘strong media’ model that assumes a direct influence of the content on viewer attitudes. Recent theory has suggested an ‘audience response’ model whereby audience attitudes towards the subject matter, genre and purpose of viewing can influence their understanding of the content; however this approach is under-represented in research. In the United Kingdom the soap opera genre in particular is positioned to have a potential role in influencing public attitudes towards mental distress, frequently depicting mental distress within a realist frame and being presented as having a public service function. This thesis aims to explore the ideas that viewers take from soap opera portrayals of mental distress within an audience response approach. Soap opera viewers were interviewed about the ideas of mental distress they developed from storylines they had watched, and these interviews were analysed using a discursive thematic analysis, taking into account their beliefs about mental distress, the soap opera genre and their viewing purposes.

Such common conceptions of endings, this thesis argues, are largely incompatible with the realities of television’s production and reception, and as a result the study of endings in television needs to be re-thought to pay attention to the specificities of the medium.

  • Wendy Richard
    Soap stars gather for emotional farewell to Wendy Richard Screen legend Wendy Richard Stars from some of Britain’s best-loved soaps gathered together on 9th March 2009 to pay their respects to screen legend Wendy Richard. Lacey Turner, Pam St Clement, Letitia Dean, June Brown and Todd Carty Albert Square was brought to a virtual standstill as more than 100 EastEnders stars gathered for the funeral of the 65-year-old, who became a household name for her portrayal as cardigan- wearing matriarch Pauline Fowler. Famed characters from the East End soap both past and present included Anna Wing who starred as Lou Beale; Letitia Dean who played Sharon Mitchell; Barbara Windsor who plays Peggy; Ian Beale actor Adam Woodyatt and Dot Branning's June Brown. On arriving at the church with Ricky Groves (Gary Hobbs) and June Brown, Letitia told reporters: “Wendy is going to love this.” Groves added: “We’ll have a drink for her.” Wendy's on-screen son Todd Carty - who played Mark Fowler - led tributes to the actress along with Are You Being Served's Frank Thornton and Leonard Fenton, who starred as Dr Harold Legg. Carty looked to be on the brink of tears as he arrived at the church, flanked by Cindy Beale actress Michelle Collins, Steve McFadden who plays Mitchell hardman Phil, Pam St. Clement (Pat), Lacey Turner (Stacey) and Kara Tointon, who stars as Dawn. More than 1,000 mourners crammed into a star-studded central London service for Wendy, who also played Miss Brahms in the hit sitcom Are You Being Served? and fans of the star lined the streets outside St Marylebone Parish Church.
