Sunset Beach: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

Quite possibly the definitive [[Guilty Pleasures|Guilty Pleasure]] of a daytime [[Soap Opera]]. Had a particularly large fandom in the [[United Kingdom]] during its heyday. Such was its popularity over there that petitions were sent to the UK broadcaster ([[Channel Five]]) begging them to have it [[~~Un Cancelled~~]] in America. This was despite the fact that the quality fell into [[So Bad It's Good]] status several times. Wobbly scenery, dodgy dialogue and woeful acting were abound.

The plot featured [[The Ingenue|Meg]] who, after discovering that her fiancé was cheating on her on their wedding day, packs her bags and leaves her Kansas home-town for a [[Lonely Rich Kid|HandsomeStranger]] with whom she has been conversing via e-mail for months. She arrives at his home-town of Sunset Beach and lodges at his mansion. At first she finds [[The Stoic|Ben]] withdrawn and unsociable, which she later finds out is due to the death of his first wife at sea. He even keeps a large portrait of her dressed in white, on a swing-set in his living room.
