BEN...OR BEN??
WRITTEN BY: Megan
Although practically every episode of Sunset Beach is fantastic,
there is one that sticks out in my mind. It includes my favorite
ending/beginning, as well as one of my favorite scenes ever. When Derek captured
Meg and took her to the cabin impersonation Ben, Meg finally figured out that
"Ben" wasn't Ben and that he was in fact, "dead". As Derek raised the knife over
Meg's head, he said something to the effect of, "Now you can die too, and join
your precious Ben". Just then, Ben walked in the cabin door. Derek and Meg
stare at him in shock and Ben simply says, "Never say die, brother". This was my
all time favorite ending I think. Then the next day, Ben and Derek both fought
to the point where they both looked exactly the same, scratch for scratch. While
they were n the cliff, standing together, Meg had to decide who was who. They
both tried to convince her that they were the real Ben, and of course, because
of her connection to him, she picked the right one. This was perhaps one of my favorite scenes. It showed the connection of Ben and Meg
put to the test. I will always remember it.
ANNIE'S DREAMS
WRITTEN BY: Jen
Annie's daydreams were so hilarious! I really loved them and i will
miss them a lot. My favorite daydream she had was when she woke up in a bed with
all those other people.. It was so funny!!
ANTONIO & GABI -- CAVE - IN
WRITTEN BY: Debz
This was the sweetest! I was so upset Gabi left alone! They were the perfect
couple and even though the show is over, they'll always be a super couple in my
eyes. A & G 4eva
TERROR ISLAND
WRITTEN BY: Avril Raffan
I loved the part when Ben escaped and tried to rescue meg
especially when Ben and Derek were on the edge of the cliff and meg had to pick
which one was Ben.
TERROR ISLAND
WRITTEN BY: SB Fan
I really liked Terror Island (even though Mark died!) because the
whole thing was a mystery and I liked seeing everybody scream from getting so
scared.
ANTONIO & GABI
WRITTEN BY: Silva
The best memory of Sunset Beach was when Gabi and Antonio made love
in the rubble!
GREGORY & OLIVIA
WRITTEN BY: Elin
The Best Time On The Show Was When Gregory & Olivia Were A Couple.
Every Scene With Them Was A Lot Of Fun To Watch! Sam And Lesley-Anne Are The
Best!
BEN AND MEG
WRITTEN BY: Rebecca Jones
Need I say more? I live in the UK so I haven't seen the last episode
but those two are destined to be together and we love 'em for it!
MY PERSONAL FAVE SB MOMENTS
WRITTEN BY: Denise
Starting with...
#10: Sara comes to town.
#9: Maria and Annie finding happy endings. It's great to see them happy.
#8: All of the fantasies.
#7: Ben and Meg's wedding reception! That was cool! (Especially that cheesy
bouquet throw! Hehehe...)
#6: That pop-up thingy when Virginia handed Vanessa the turkey baster. That was
comedy.
#5: Shockwave! I think the writers loved it so much, they named a restaurant
after it! (Hehe)
#4: Casey and Sara hooking up.
#3: Anything to do with Casey and Sara.
#2: The final episode.
And my number 1 fave Sunset Beach moment is (drumroll, please):
#1: Casey and Sara getting engaged! (I bet you saw that coming! I am a HUGE
Casey/Sara fanatic!) I still watch it like, 20 times a day!
Oh and I have just a little something to say: I wrote a fanfic 2 years ago on
Casey and Sara (that's when they were still friends!) and in the end there was a
double wedding: Michael, Vanessa, Casey, and Sara. Just one question: HOW CLOSE
WAS I IN PREDICTING THE ENDING????
MICHAEL AND VANESSA
WRITTEN BY: Kitty
My all time favorite Sunset Beach scene was when Michael was getting ready to
propose to Vanessa, (sometime within the last few months.) Vanessa opened the
door in her robe & had some sort of gross face stuff on. She saw Michael,
gasped, and quickly closed the door. Michael just kind of stood there like "what
just happened??"
They were so cute! :)
MARIA GETS EVEN
WRITTEN BY: Candy
I loved it when Maria got to wallop Tess. After all she was put
through by Tess and Derek, I thought it fitting Maria was the one who got to
deck Tess.
"FANTASIES"!!!
WRITTEN BY: Kathy L.
God, I MISS this Soap! The best parts in my opinion were the
"fantasies". You remember, Sara as the "Pitiful Looser" in the "Friends"
fantasy, her finding Casey and Meg in the shower together, and who could forget
her stroll with Casey to the Theme of the "Mary Tyler Moore Show". Then of
course there was Annie and her Daydreams. "Awesome Annie" to the rescue!
Whether she was doned in whipped cream, Secratarial garb, Nurse's Uniform, or
Cat Suit, she really new how to make me laugh. Just as the movie "Grease" was
making its comeback to the theaters, SB came up with a similar fantasy involving
Katlin, Cole, Trey, and Annie. The songs used made a big impact on the
storylines. I loved every Ben/Meg Melodious Interlude. Now when I hear a song
on the radio, nine times out of ten, it will remind me of SB. I loved the
humor all of these actors put into their roles. I thank them for all their hard
work, and joy they gave their viewers. SB FOREVER! :)
LEGEND OF SORTS
WRITTEN BY: Janice
A wise woman once said (Elaine) that as the Santa Ana winds kick in
and the sun begins to set and the first person you meet on the far side of the
pier is the one you are destined to be with. At that moment. I had fallen in
love with this couple. It was love at first site. Both Ben and Meg have
withstand the test of love and overcome orchestrations of jealous minds, past,
and the present. Which lead them to a place- Palm Springs. Although the intent
of who was suppose to be there and why. I loved the way it turned out. Ben and
Meg ended up in a romantic casita and true love was tested once again. Also,
how can you forget the wedding. I loved the first one. Each words that were
exchange were beautifully sang. These two are two star-crossed lovers that had
rode to a place that most soap couples have never rode before. The rode to
happy-endings. So if you believe in someting, believe in it. For dreams do
come true like it did for Ben and Meg. They are a legend of all sorts.
COLE AND CAITLIN
WRITTEN BY: JC Fan
I liked it when Caitlan confronted Cole about sleeping with her
mother. I enjoyed watching her scream at him. Kam Heskin did a great job! It was
an exciting scene to watch. It was one of my favorites. (Besides Terror
Island!!)
JUDE AND ANNIE MAKE LOVE
WRITTEN BY: Amber Sukhdeo
For a while , Sunset Beach wasn't that steamy, and then they showed
these two cuties making love. That was great, it was soo steamy, and romantic,
and I am happy they ended up together.
SB'S OUTDOOR SHOOTS
WRITTEN BY: SB Fanatic
Sunset Beach, among a lot of other special attributes embodied one
in specific that no other show in daytime will ever have again. And that is
it's frequent outdoor location shoots at Seal Beach, etc. Even if it were just
two characters talking as the waves crashed on the shore, or Gregory being
chased by Cole on the pier, only to fall to his "doom" this show pulled out all
the stops. And don't forget Madame Carmen killing the archbishop in her
corvettet was it? I dunno, all I know is that scene was made all the more better
with the actual usage of a real car and setting. Or what about Meg's fall off
the pier on the very first episode? Or when Annie jumped off the lifeguard
tower? Who can forget the surf central playing football on the beach on
Thanksgiving of'97? *sigh* This is one of MANY other things I will sadly miss
about this great show...
BEN & MEG
WRITTEN BY: Emma
I'm a viewer in England and haven't yet seen the ending, but I've heard what
happens. I love the story with Ben and Meg, it's what hooked me to the show and
I'm releaved they get together in the end, even though I think Maria was great
Ben and Meg were destined to be together, I'm a true romantic and glad it's a
happy ending.
MARIA AND ROSS ENGLISH
WRITTEN BY: Rayne
I will never forget the scene where Maria met Ross English and she
realized that her mother's prediction was right. The look on her face is forever
etched in my mind. For an actress to portray such emotion is a sure sign of
talent and Christina Chambers went all out. You could see all of Maria's
thoughts in that look. She knew that everything would be alright and that she
would find love with someone else: Ross. It was so perfect, I watched that scene
several times after the show finished. I just wish we could have seen their
relationship develop.
ANNIE FINDS LOVE IN JUDE
WRITTEN BY: Christina
Annie and Jude are the best couple ever! I always thought that
Annie needed a love intrest that loved her back! And then Jude came to town and
even saved her the first day she came to town. Not to mention that great twist,
he's an FBI! That is so perfect. Annie has always been my favourite character
and her fantasies were soooooo cool! Nothing can replace Sunset Beach ever! I
just won't be able to feel the same about any other soap or show. I mean the
Sunset Beach characters were so thrilling. Even when I hated their character, I
still liked it. And the actor or actress. I learned that when Meg left.
Nobody could replace her fully. I'm gonna help find a way to bring Sunset Beach
back. SUNSET BEACH FOREVER!
BEST WEDDINGS
WRITTEN BY: Andrea
On of my best memories on Sun were Caitlin and Coles wedding,and
Ben & Meg's 1st wedding, I just loved the look on everyones face when Maria caught
the bouquet and when Meg realized Dana was Maria.
GABI & ANTONIO
WRITTEN BY: D.L.Roberts-Jones
I just couldn't stand it, the suspense was killing me. The look on
Ricardo's face when he saw the video tape of Gabi and Antonio making love...OOOH!!
I couldn't wait until he confronted them.
LAST EPISODE
WRITTEN BY: Emma
I think that the last episode was one of the best, I saw it wen I
was in Florida over New Year's, but I live in Sweden so we haven't seen it here
yet, it is the Ben/Derek period, and Shawn Batten has just arrived as Sara...
ANNIE
WRITTEN BY: Holly
I live in the UK so SB hasn't finished yet but when it does, i will
never ever forget Annie. Her plotting and scheming, her lying and tormenting,
but most of all her daydreams. Who can ever forget Six in a bed, The Wizard of
Oz or her fantasies of Olivia being drunk. My personal favourites HAVE to be
Search for Dignity and Awesome Annie. Sarah Buxton was the best actress on
Sunset Beach and Annie was the beast character!
ANNIE
WRITTEN BY: Heather
I will really miss Annie, i think her character was great! She
really made me laugh, everything she done was soo enjoyable to watch. She's
made me believe that nothing is impossible to do!! C'mon, she's done it all
hasn't she :)
GREGORY AND OLIVIA
WRITTEN BY: Natalia
All the times that Gregory's love for Olivia shone through everything else.
Her and caitlin were the only people he ever really loved...
bless his little heart.

GABI AND ANTONIO
WRITTEN BY: Andrea
My best memory is of gabi and antonio making love in the cave.that
scene was so real and intense...
DEREK AND BEN
WRITTEN BY: Ona
I live in Finland so I haven´t seen all the episodes yet. In
Finland Maria has just move in with Ben and Meg and I hate it because I hate
Maria. My fav scene was when Meg realise that Derek wasn´t Ben and thought that
Ben was dead and then Derek tried to kill her and Ben walks in. It was so great
scene!!!!! my worst was when Maria came to Ben and Meg´s Wedding.
THE BEST TIMES OF SUNSET BEACH
WRITTEN BY: Sara
10. Gabi and Ricardo's wedding
9. Annie's fantasies
8. The girls sing karoke
7. Rosario Madonna
6. The cave in
5. Who Shot Francesca?
4. Maria catches the bouquet at Ben and Meg's wedding
3. Ricardo proposes to Gabi
2. Terror Island
1. Shockwave
ROSARIO JEWELS WORTH PENNIES
WRITTEN BY: Kevin
It started out with potential. A guilty Francesca wanted to return jewels she
had stolen from Antonio in Rosario. Then, it all went bust. First, Amy's dad turns into a mummy, and
Brad, Emily, Sean and Amy sneak into the house as if they are in an episode of
Scooby-Doo. Then Annie almost chokes wearing the necklace, Hiliary mummifies,
characters prematurely age, then Caitlin turns "demonic" ala "days of our lives"
Marlena. It just didn't work. Worse, it did not make sense. They claimed that
ANYONE who touched the jewels would begin to age, and most did but others
didn't. Why didn't Cole, Annie, Olivia, and others age?? It was inconsistent
and ineffective.
THE FINAL EPISODE
WRITTEN BY: Kevin
The final episode of SB was great. After all the chaos in the city,
everyone ended on a happy note (well, except Gregory). I wasn't sure what to
expect, but I really enjoyed the conclusion. My only disappointment was that I
did not get to see the characters all huddled together for a goodbye before the
credits rolled. Since it had such a short run, maybe a network like E! or USA
will buy the rights for syndication!!
DEREK
WRITTEN BY: Hazel
The best thing about Sunset Beach has got to be the Terror Island storyline and
anything to do with Derek and although he was really evil he was so funny he
made Ben look boring. To see everybody scared out of their wits on the Island
was brilliant I will never forget Meg in the kitchen when Derek came through the
door with the mask on and she screamed her head off. She has to be the best one
at that apart from Maria when she remembered falling off the boat in the grotto
with Ben that was classic. Sunset Beach has done many great things but the twin storyline will always be
the greatest closely followed by B and M wedding when Maria caught the flowers.
It's just a shame Derek had to die!!
BEN'S REACTION AT 1ST RECEPTION
WRITTEN BY: Andrew
I thought it was so funny when Ben told Ricardo and Tyus to get the
hell off him because Maria was his wife right in front of Meg. it was hilarious
to see her reaction.
DEREK GETS IT!!
WRITTEN BY: Chris Shaw
My best memory was when Ben finally got rid of Derek once and for
all!
MEG VS ANNIE
WRITTEN BY: Scott
The best scene ever in SB was when Annie and Meg had there first
fight, over Marias diary. It was so funny when they started smashing things and
trashing Bette's house.
REUNION AT THE CASITA (Ben & Meg)
WRITTEN BY: ForeverBenMeg
What can I say but that's my all time best memory.Clive & Susan were
never HOTTER than they were then.Ben was so in love with Meg and Meg was so in
love with Ben.They set that little Castia on fire with their passionate love
making.
KANSAS
WRITTEN BY: Pamela
When Ben went to get Meg back in Kansas had to be one of my all
time favourites.He looked so gorgeous when driving up to her house in those
sunglasses!!!
BEN/MEG
WRITTEN BY: Annie
I love them together! Their chemistry in front of the camera was
fantastic! Good job Clive and Susan!!!!
BEST:WICKED MEMORY
WRITTEN BY: Sandra Dawes
The best memorie of sunset beach was When Meg,Sean,K.C,and co were
on that dangerous island and Derek was wearing a mask killing and scaring
everyone.The best bit was when Tim heard Mathews last words"It was Ben".THAT WAS
CLASSIC.It's not fair don't America know that the British LOVE Sunset Beach.
ANNIE AND JUDE
WRITTEN BY: Sam
Out of all the romantic couples, Annie and Jude were unable to live
out their romance to the extent Ben and Meg did. I was really upset that there
were not more scences of them together. I also did not like it that the SB
writers gave Annie a love interest when the show was ending... that was not fair
and I will always view them as the best couple of Sunset Beach even though it
was short. Their romance was the best memory I could ever recall from Sunset
Beach.
BEN AND MEG MARRY
WRITTEN BY: Michelle
I think that the best memory is the last episode when Ben and Meg
married although every episode was great they deserved to be together at the end.
After all that they have went through the were my favorite actors and the best
couple.
MA' FAVOURITES
WRITTEN BY: Emma

#1 well...the last episode???
My number 1 worst memory:Marks dead. Was it only me who cried back then?
Best storyline:Terrror Island! Of course!
THE WHOLE PACKAGE BABY!!
WRITTEN BY: Jennifer
I agree with just about everyone here. I am 18 and have never been hooked
on any soap opera in my life until the day I watched "Sunset Beach". This
show has brought tears to my eyes and laughs from my heart. I love each
and every character and actor/actress from the show. I only wish that Sunset
Beach WAS a nominatee for "Best New Daytime Drama" or whatever. One
reason why this was a wonderful soap is because most people I went to
high school with always knew about it because it attracted a younger
audience to it. I feel that Sunset Beach would have gotten higher ratings if
they had moved it to 3pm. I started watching it when "Terror Island" had
started in Dec 97. From then on all the scandals, scheming, and stories
kicked a$$! I fell in love with Antonio (Nick Kiriazis). He has like the best
personality that I'd ever look for in my "perfect man". Plus he's fine as hell-
but that's a different story. Also, I'd like to mention that everytime I
watched
the show, I felt like I was actually in it which drew me deeper into the plots.
I've always been an inspiring actress and I wanted to get a role on the show
(Looks like my chances of that happening is slim to none.) I truely wish that
it can be brought on the air again cuz a lot more people would watch it.
(Like my friends and I that graduated) =) My favorite charcters are
Antonio (of course), Francessca, Annie, Carmen, Ricardo, Maria, Sara, &
Skip (the dog). My favorite storyline was The Shockwave and The Rasarro
Jewels cuz that's when everyone was together. Now about that whole
Antonio/Gaby thing. I feel like the story should have gone this way. Antonio
started having feelings for Gaby but Gaby is already commited to Ricardo.
BUT! In walks this beautiful 5'4, asain model Jennifer. (Yep, that's me).
Antonio and Jennifer went to high school together and they were first loves.
Jennifer went to Paris to pursue a modeling career which didn't take off
as well as she had hoped so she returns home to Sunset Beach. They fall
in love again, Antonio leaves the priesthood, they get married, and Gaby
had Ricardo. Well, all's I gotta say is that I really fell for Sunset Beach
and all the characters in it. If anyone wants to write me and talk about
Sunset Beach then feel free to email me at Carla99@uswest.net
Love, Jennifer
SUNSET BEACH WILL BE #1 FOREVER!!!!!!!
WRITTEN BY: Lea
I still remeber how Ben and Meg fell in love, it was so sweet!
They went through all these hardships but in the end they made it through and
really got married. I will never forget this show and I will never ever
dedicate myself to another soap. NBC and UPN20 should bring back Sunset Beach.
We don't know if Gabby and Antonio will get back together, or how Annie and
Jude will turn out. Come on you guys BRING BACK Sunset Beach,
PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MEG AND BEN FOREVER!!!!

EVERYTHING
WRITTEN BY: Anna
I used to hate soaps a couple of years ago. I thought they were cheesy and
just plain dumb. Then one day I was bored and was flipping through the
channels and saw a blond girl looking at a baby's grave and say, "Nobody will
ever know that there's no baby inside that coffin." Yikes! I continued
watching that episode, and before you can say scandolous I was hooked. I
continued watching Sunset Beach until they took it off my NBC affilates. Even
though I didn't get to see the last month, that soap introduced me to a whole
new kind of television. What wasn't there to love about Sunset Beach? There
were sexy guys(and to a raging hormonal 14 year old girl, that's sweet!), nice
clothes, beautiful houses, weddings (almost), the bitches you love to hate, and
Kathleen Noone!
The only bad thing I would have to say about Sunset Beach is that it got
cancelled. Good luck to all of the former cast members, and thank you for
entertaining me for 1 hour, 5 days a week, for a 1 1/2 year.
BEN AND MEG IN THE CAVE
WRITTEN BY: Sam
I have to say the time I laughed a lot was when Ben called Meg,
Maria in the cave after they made love. Sorry Ben and Meg fans but that was a
very good storyline. That was my favorite moment of the Ben and Meg history.
ANNIE AND JUDE
WRITTEN BY: Sam
I have to say Annie and Jude gave off the most chemistry in my
eyes. Their wittty lines and stares towards each other were amazing. I wish
SB would have brought the whole Annie and Jude storyline earlier. Their
romance only appeared on screen for a very short while and the couple was only
introduced for 5 months. I am really disappointed that I was unable to see
them more. I sometimes wonder if the show was stilling running... what would
it be like? Will they be together? So many questions that could have been
answered if only NBC let SB stay on the air. ANNIE AND JUDE WERE THE BEST
COUPLE OF DAYTIME TV. That is all I have to say.
EDDIE CONNORS
WRITTEN BY: James
Who can forget Eddie comming back to Sunset Beach after stealing the Deschanel
jewels, dressing up in drag looking a lot like Olivia, it was the funniest
moment on the show ever. Long live Sunset Beach
SUNSET BEACH - A POST MODERN SOAP OPERA
WRITTEN BY: Robert Rimmer
Well it finished this week in the UK, and my Saturday's will be
emptier without the first soap I've ever seen that played around with every
rule of soap opera. What made it stand alone was it's consistent use of fantasy
sequences to explore characters inner turmoil/lives - the chess scene/Jerry
Springer/ even the Kansas dream. Also the visual/verbal references to other
shows - in particular all of Sarah's TV dreams - from FRIENDS to CHARLIE'S
ANGELS. The BEACH had style, wit and irony, to some it was just a soap, to me
it was something special in the history of TV.
EVERYTHING BUT CAITLIN, SEAN, EMILY, AJ AND OF COURSE VANESSA AND MICHAEL
WRITTEN: Yvonne
I didn't start watchin till August 98 and before had all I thought about this show
was what absolute trash.But that soon changed.One of my favs was when "Ben" and Meg were at the cabin and she found the real Ben's "ashes"- Classic. As well as that when Maria walked in on Ben and Meg's wedding, you've got to love the way they made those flowers fly. And of course who can forget Sara and Annie's fantastic fantasies. Oh SB you will be missed!!
BEN AND MEG
WRITTEN BY: Helen B
Once upon a time there were three little girls.... - excellent dream sequence
Sara, right up there with Annie's numerous fantasies.
I loved the entire show, but my fav was the heart-wrenching scene after Ben and
Megs first wedding where Meg crys her heart out to Casey - sooo sad! Also that
Meg and Ben end up together and the whingy Maria with her intensely overused
"deer caught in headlights" look doesn't get Ben. Also Ben in v-neck jumpers,
and Father Antonio in anything. God, I'm going to miss this soap!!!
BEN AND MEG IN KANSAS
WRITTEN BY: Lynn
My all time favorite SB moment, was when Ben went to Kansas to
find Meg. The episode that showed him driving away without her, broke my
heart. I kept thinking how can she let him go.
THOSE CHEESEY MOMENTS!
WRITTEN BY: Matthew Robinson
Here's my top 3!
#3 AJ full stop, he is a cheese!
#2 The final episode, it was good, but it would have been better if Annie could
find her true love, but still HATE olivia.
#1 The rosario jewels ending! who could forget that final moment in the church,
everyone's wrinkle (ha ha) fade and emily can see, topped off with a cast shoot
lokking outside, it's snowing! what a miracle!
ANNIE
WRITTEN BY: Matthew
Annie was just soooo funny.Who can forget her daydreams with
Olivia dressed up as Cruella De Vill. I say bring her back.
WELL DONE HANK CHEYNE
WRITTEN BY: Naomi Miller
The best moments of Sunset Beach were the very last few episodes
when Ricardo confronted Gabi and Antonio, and then when he and Antonio made
peace with each other it actually had my in tears, Hank Cheyene portrayed
Ricardo in a way I've never seen before and I will never forget that I say well
done to Hank !!!
