Character Stereotypes

The Dumb Blonde

Pandora from Skins.
Pandora plays the role as friend to Effy the popular girl with attitude, who gets all the guys, drinks and Pandora does whatever she says.
Pandora's the innocent character out of the group in Skins and basically drinks and takes drugs because she knows that's what will make her cool, but not in the peer pressure because she actually thinks it's true.
The series began with her taking Hair and beauty because she's not clever enough to take the other courses at college.
She's stereotypical as she has the similar attributes of dumb blonde as she's so vague and not very clever. She also see's the best in people which is why she looks up to Effy as she can't see that Effy just uses her to make her look good.



However she's not as vein as most dumb blondes are in series such as Blair in the american teen drama clueless who's always shopping and is the poplular girl in her school who everyone wants to be friends with.








Carmel from Hollyoaks
She's considered the dumb blonde of the program due to the fact that she is quite vein about her appearance and doesn't have much ambition other than passing hair and beauty and opening her own beauty salon where she works.She's one of the Mc Queen sisters and is the most innocent out of all of them in her personality. She's married to Calvin who is the local police officer to the village and since marrying him Carmel has changed her amibtion to wanting to do something more challenging and becoming a police officer. None of her family thought she could do it as she's not considered clever.
She adds a humerous quality to Hollyoaks in how she can be quite "dim" and she when it came to her wedding day it was really over the top as she wanted everything romantic and over the top like a celeberity.
