Hollyoaks and Coronation Street

In terms of the age of characters Hollyoaks has a lot more younger actors because they try to have only 16-35 year old's on the programme, whereas coronation street has a mixture but it tends to have older people in it.
The settings for the two are similar because they each have their own home's and live in a village but coronation street has major known pub's in the programme Hollyoaks changes location most of the time.
They both use casual clothes and normal make up.
It depends on the scenes on how the characters moods are and the atmosphere but when they have bad thing's going on in the programme it tends to be a dark setting and people are unhappy.
They both have close up shots.

I think Hollyoaks is more for a younger audience whereas coronation street is enjoyed by a wider target audience.
The storylines frequently change in Hollyoaks whereas In coronation street they are kept  the same and changed only between different characters.
