In the particular episode of Eastenders that I watched the main characters or storyline was based along Christain and Syed's gay relationship. I feel that I can respond emotionally to Christians character because he is a very dedicated, I'd think it would be very hard to play a Gay character when you cant actually relate to the situation so well done to him.
In this episode Christain bought a pink baby gift bag for Syed's baby daughter that he didnt know about, there was a close-up of this. I felt this was a good way of making the audience fell sympethy towards Christian because it shows he is really trying his best to try and be happy for Syed even though he in previous episode's did ask Syed to chose between him and the baby.
'Identifying' with a character from what i understand is when the audience fell like they understand what that character is going through, and feels sorry/sympthy for that particular character. Or if they have/or know people that has gone through the same situation, they will be able to identify to the characters reaction.
However I dont believe that all audiences respond the same way to characters, there are lots of reasons for thism gender, sexuality, ethnicity, age and also religion.
In Eastenders Christian and Syed are involved in gay relationship, because Syed comes from a Muslim background, his realtionship is really frowned upon.
Most cahraters are realistic, like the character Wytney plays is very realsitc, becasue the things that shes gone through have happened in real life before, like the prositiute situation and the way she thought she was in love, that is a realistic situation because some girls that have been the same thing.
