Download Sunset Beach Tv Series

Sunset Beach is an American television soap opera that aired on NBC from January 6, 1997, to December 31, 1999. The show follows the loves and lives of the people living in the Orange County coastal area named Sunset Beach, on the coast of California. Although there is a real community named Sunset Beach (now part of the city of Huntington Beach), the show's beach scenes were shot in nearby Seal Beach, California. The show was co-produced by NBC and Spelling Television.

When the show began, it had 21 contract actors, including Lesley-Anne Down (Olivia Richards), Sam Behrens (Gregory Richards), Leigh Taylor-Young (Elaine Stevens), Peter Barton (Eddie Connors), Laura Harring (Paula Stevens), Hank Cheyne (Ricardo Torres) and Kathleen Noone (Bette Katzenkazrahi).[3] In its first year and a half on air, seven actors left the show. Adrienne Frantz was the first to be let go from her role of Tiffany Thorne. The character was recast to Jennifer Banko-Stewart, but this was not successful and she was eventually written out.[4] Kelly Hu left the show in June 1997, due to her character not mixing well with the others. By the end of the year, when Meg Bennett took over as a new head writer, Taylor-Young and Harring also left the series, followed by the exit of Nick Stabile, whose character Mark Wolper was written out in a serial killer storyline.[5] Elizabeth Alley had a short stint playing the role of Melinda Fall.[6] The final original character to be written out was Eddie Connors (Barton), who exited in May 1998.[7]

The exits of many characters opened the doors to the introduction of new ones. Carol Potter and John H. Martin, who had been recurring during the show's first year, were promoted to contract status, and the expansion of Meg's family also included the arrival of her sister Sara Cummings. The role was first played by then-unknown actress Lauren Woodland, but she was fired two weeks later and replaced by Shawn Batten, who played the role for the remainder of the series. Aside from Meg's family, Ricardo Torres got his family expanded, including the introduction of his mother Carmen (Margarita Cordova), brother Antonio (Nick Kiriazis), and the sudden reappearance of his sister Maria (Christina Chambers), Ben Evans' presumed dead wife.

In South Africa, Sunset Beach originally aired on SABC 3 for its entire run from 1999 to 2001 weekdays at 4:10pm. Due to its popularity, rival channel e.tv started rebroadcasting the entire series from September 2007 every weekday morning at 10:30am.

In Spain, Sunset Beach aired on Antena 3. The channel intended for the series to be their big Summer premiere and launched the series with a 2-hour pilot on a Sunday afternoon in the popular 3:30pm movie slot. Promoting the series as Baywatch meets Beverly Hills, 90210 with a lot of Santa Barbara (the latter having been a massive hit for the channel many years earlier and the only big US daytime soap to have aired in Spain), the series continued with its regular screenings every weeknight in the much coveted 8:00pm Access Primetime slot, the slot previously occupied by Baywatch. Sunset Beach, however, failed to attract any attention, and the series was promptly axed after one week and six episodes, never to return to Spanish TV again.

In the United Kingdom, Sunset Beach aired on Channel 5 from March 1997 to February 2000 becoming only the second American daytime soap opera to air on a UK terrestrial TV channel (the first being, coincidentally, Santa Barbara on ITV. Others ran only on satellite and cable channels). It became one of Channel 5s earliest successful imports, being part of its daytime launch schedule, so much so, when it ended in 1999, Channel 5 were a part of an international consortium who tried to invest in Sunset Beach to keep it being produced for its large international audience, but this bid failed, and it ended on this channel in 2000. There was then a bidding war for the repeat rights, and the first 130 episodes were repeated on ITV2, a digital channel, from July 2000 to January 2001 before the series was dropped due to low ratings and the high cost of broadcast rights. Channel 5 then started repeating the series again, starting in 2004, but dropped it from the daytime schedule due to low ratings. They continued repeats in double-bills in the early hours of Saturday and Sunday mornings until they had shown all the episodes they had bought the rights for (approx. 215).

Although I left journalism in 1991 with the publication of my first novel (a murder mystery titled EVERY CROOKED NANNY), my fascination with crime has never wavered. I wrote two mystery series, one set in Atlanta, the other in my hometown of St. Petersburg, Florida, and then, in 2001, I decided to branch out from crime writing with a novel called SAVANNAH BLUES.

My hope is that readers will find SUNSET BEACH a different kind of summer read, with a little romance, a healthy sprinkling of humor, and yes, a double dose of mystery. In other words, a beach book that comes with a twist.

Biography: The Jebb Mac Band is the perfect way to punctuate a warm Southern beach day of sun-soaked friends and iced-cool drinks. Like a hurricane, they release their energy to a packed crowd at a laid back watering hole, with raucous covers ranging from Johnny Cash to Eminem, and original tunes evoking lazy river days and hot Southern nights.

XAVIER: [Spelling] believed that we could open up the barriers from the studio. Gary Tomlin was instrumental in that as well. They had a method of going out every month to do a whole bunch of location scenes that would be integrated into the show. Tomlin, with his team of producers, devised a second unit that would do the location [shoots]. At first, it was a director named Rick Benowitz, a very talented gentleman who had been in soaps for a long time. He came from Santa Barbara, and was a long-serving California director. He did the first year-and-a-half of the location work until, sadly, he passed away. Then the second person who took that over was Grant Johnson, who currently works on Days of Our Lives. (1965-)He had also been the associate director under Rick and knew exactly how to get those beach scenes done.

XAVIER: I never did the beach scenes. I had an opportunity to do one location scene in Sunset Beach one day where Caitlin (Vanessa Dorman) and Olivia (Lesley-Anne Down) were driving through essentially Griffith Park in California, which doubled as some mountain road where Caitlin accidentally drives them off a cliff.

GARCIA: I wish NBC would do the right thing and make it available [on-demand]. I'm sure it has to do with licensing and advertising and all kinds of things, but it would be such a good gesture to the fans. Put it in high quality and release it. It's weird, we aired kind of right before the whole internet scenario happened, and that was the one bad timing of the whole thing. If we'd come on five years later, the internet would have carried the series, or maybe another network. Gary seemed to be very optimistic about us landing on MTV. He'd even told me, "Don't worry, because I think we'll get picked up." Nowadays, there are so many streaming services, it probably would've been picked up automatically.

So I came up with a concept pretty quickly. My influence would have been Lifeguard (1976), a movie with Sam Elliott. I\u2019d lived in Manhattan Beach for a short period of time while I was in college, and that sort of beach lifestyle, I knew very well.

PRATT: We really wanted a diverse element with a Hispanic family, which we had on Santa Barbara with Cruz Castillo. So we said, \\\"Let's just start out with a diverse show.\\\" I know that The Young and the Restless and other shows have always represented diversity, but it became an important part, with the socio-economics that are associated with living in a beach community and having lots of secrets and sex and all the other things that make a soap work. I took that concept to Aaron. He loved it and he said, \\\"Can you write up a Bible? We\u2019ve got to move fast on this.\\\" 17dc91bb1f
