Sunset Not Forgotten
Has there ever been a show that you watched religiously, then after it becoming part of your life, was cancelled? Now you are left feeling empty, like something is missing. That is the way I feel about Sunset Beach.
I fell in love with this soap opera about 2 years after it began. I got a late start watching, but was hooked from the first episode I watched. I watched it every day without missing one. I would record it. It became my favorite over Days (shocking!!). Then NBC decided to cancel it. I was devastated. I had grown to love the characters. It was as if they were my friends and they were sharing their lives with me.
Sometimes now, when I see them doing other things or read about them in magazine, I sigh. I actually miss these characters that I grew to love so dearly. I chose a mantilla as my wedding veil because one of the characters wore it for her wedding (that never took place – she was in love with her fiancé’s brother; a catholic priest) and I loved the look of it. I even saved the recorded episode so I could remember it.
I do wish the show would return, but somehow I don’t think it would be the same. The actors and actresses have all moved on to other things. But I will never forget how they made me feel. It was so wonderful, I was so involved in their fictitous world. It was the best escape from my own reality (which wasn’t bad, but it’s nice to get away sometimes).
Sunset Beach will always be a great memory!
I, too, loved Sunset Beach… but alas.
And what the HECK is up with Days and these ‘aliens’?!?
And where the heck is Billie – she was back and now she’s gone again?!
