Oooo just posted about this in the channel 5 launch thread I loved SB, was staple viewing for me & my college friends back then. I loved Ben & Meg but not Derek, the whole Cole & Caitlin baby story (Cole was gorgeous!), and the Vanessa & Micheal/Virgina story - brilliant! Going to watch those Youtube links now

It was soooo bad - it was unmissable!! I remember watching on channel 5 half-way through the series.
It just seemed like a typical american daytime soap at first, but when things like the earthquake/poseidon adventure/mummies and all those hilarious "dream sequences" came into it, I was hooked! I think it deserves a whole repeat on some channel somewhere. It's not Oscar-winning stuff, but it's certainly a cult-winning programme!
And the hunks/babes in it were easy on the eye too

LOL @ that clip, Annie was mad

Meg was my favourite she was so pretty, had Ben and they were a really cute couple.

What was the name of that police guy that had a really big jaw? I think Derek killed him?

EDIT: Just found a list of characters on Wikipedia and their SB biography. Totall forgot about Annie being trapped in that coffin LINK: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ach_characters

Oh yeah I know who you mean. I can't remember his name though. I think it might have been Eddie.

My fave was Cole (Eddie Cibrian) simply 'cos I fancied him. But Annie was an excellent bitch in it. Loved it when she came back from the dead in one scene.
Tim was cute too, and Ben was ok, but a bit wet, preferred his evil twin!
Lesley Ann Downe (can't remember her character!) played a good part as another bitchy person.
I loved the Channel 5 announcer speaking over the looooong end credits in the early days, classic.

The reasons for watching Sunset Beach were simple:

* The crack-pot characters. Many characters seemed to have a scheming, sly side, particularly Gregory, Virginia and Annie.

* The good looking actors. Seriously, no other show had as many hotties as this show did: Annie, Meg, Ben, Caitlin, Cole, Ricardo, Antonio, Tim, Casey, Michael, Gabi. In fact, the only ugly one I can remember was Sean!

* The outlandish storylines: the Earthquake and tidal waved, serial killer, Ben's evil twin, Cole/Annie/Caitlin/Olivia and the saga of baby Trey, the Michael/Virginia/Titus/Vanessa and the turkey baster storyline!

* Not show-related, but the voice-over chap from Channel 5 was fantastic. He knew the show so old and came out with some great one-liners about it!

It was so camp, kitsch and didn't take itself seriously at all, which is what made it work.

Mark was originally intended to be gay and have daytimes first gay romance! However with the bad ratings in the first 6 months and the producer sacked that plan was dumped. After his one year contract ran out they killed him off as he was no longer needed.

At the same time the original Caitlin decided to leave the show after 1 year and they brought in a blonde bimbo to replace her.

Genius, that was genius....the credits were so long he was able to go through the entire plots for the episodes! I miss SB, so wonderfully silly, trashy and hilarious!

I was always under the impression that Vanessa Dorman was difficult to work with so they got rid of her. Why they replaced her with the dreadful Kam Heskin is a mystery to me, even today.
