Return to Eden

I loved that show! I used to watch it every wednesday with my parents when i was twelve. Too bad it is not available on video as far as i know. Although i think they overdid when they made Stephanie Harper die twice and had her disguised as Tara Welles and then as Princess Talita.

I watched this movie when I was in my 20s and would love to own it if I can. I just remembered it today and glad to have found it here on imdb. Thank you!

A riveting performance from the superb actor, Rebecca Gilling.

This mini-series is a Mile Stone for Australian Television. A heart breaking story about a young woman disfigured in a fight with a crocodile, who falls in love with the plastic surgeon from whom she seeks help.

This is Australian Television at its absolute best.

Oooo, GOEBBS.

A must for all Australians.

There are only a couple of TV shows that I still remember years after I originally watched them, and this is one of them. I watched it when it first aired. I just watched it again, hoping that the rewatch wouldn't tarnish a fond memory. It didn't. I loved it all over again.

The 80s fashions and hairstyles are fantastic. The story line is reasonable and has held up well. The acting is only a little dated, it's held up better than some of its contemporaries. I did find the smoking on screen a little surprising, having not seen that is years.

If you enjoy "retro" shows this is a fabulous walk down memory lane, or a peek back into the "decade that fashion forgot".

I have very fond memories of watching this film every year during my childhood. This film has EVERYTHING! A frumpy, 40-something millionairess gets eaten by a crocodile, survives, pays for a very extensive plastic surgery & rehabilitation program with the money she gets from cashing in some opals at a pawn shop, and then become an international model. Choice scenes of edge-of-your-seat intrigue include her lunch date with Wendy Hughes, the woman who helped feed her to a crocodile. Fifteen pounds thinner with a Pat Benatar haircut, she is completely unrecognizable to her former best friend. Although Ms. Hughes does remark, "Hmm, Stephanie was a beer drinker...." Oh no! Two beer-drinking women in Australia! Do you think she knows?? Intrigue ensues.
