Pacific Drive

When the Series began in January 1996, rich socialite Sonia Kingsley was run down by a car while jogging on the beach, even though it took around 30 episodes before we found out the killer, the show introduced us to a cast of 12 other characters, some we loved and some we loved to hate. Towards the end of the first season viewers were treated to a long running serial killer tale and thats where the series turned to high camp melodrama and intrigue! Never a show to take itself seriously, Pacific Drive never really found itself to be an instant hit show, but had many loyal fans who managed to keep up with it until the final episode aired in 2001. One interesting fact was that had it allowed to be screened without being constantly moved from time-slot to time-slot, the whole series would of been over in 18 months, instead it took nearly 5 years to screen all 391 episodes. Some memorable story lines were Zoe being held captive by her deranged flatmate, Bethany contracting HIV, Trey & Amber's forbidden affair, and of course the serial killer tale that knocked off 3 major characters. RIP Pacific Drive and all those who sailed in her!!

In Sweden Pacific Drive was aired on tv3 and i tho it was great. i watch ever program and loved every one and was very sad to see it go away. It also had a very strange ending too. so if anyone wanna talk about Pacific Drive with me and remember the good time, please contact me.

My sister was watching this incredibly good show they call Pacific Drive and she told me some interesting information. She swears that she saw Steve Irwin aka. Crocodile Steve working, or rather acting on the show... Having a soft spot in my heart for all things stupid, I thought that Crocodile Steve was a stupid Aussie who was lucky enough to make it big because dumb Americans thought he was scary. Has my trust in this hulking Australian icon been misplaced? Have I been thoroughly decieved by his shocking, if not convincing acting? If anyone has any info on this please email me

Cheers...

It was one of my fave soap operas in the past. I really enjoyed the episodes, the characters and the storryline. My fave character was Tim, I was really sad about what happened to him. I'm really happy that I finally find the soap opera's name, cos I only knew the hungarian one (you know it was "Parti sétány"). :)

I'm not normally a fan of Aussie soaps, and when I first saw Pacific Drive a few years ago I thought it was pathetic - really corny story lines and pretty poor acting. But once it was delegated to late night screening (I'm a night owl) I started watching a few episodes and I was instantly addicted!!!

I was left hanging when it was suddenly taken off TV here in Australia (probably due to poor ratings), but I believe there are numerous episodes yet to be seen here in Oz. I think it's screened in several countries.

You really have to watch a few episodes before you get hooked. Apart from several really good looking actors, the scenery is great - it's filmed on the Gold Coast in Queensland.

Give it a go, there's worse soaps out there.
