SUNSET BEACH ON ITS WAY OUT?
From day one this show has been not a beach, but a shallow wading pool with beach bums and bimbos gathered around it. It has had no compelling storylines and even less compelling "performance." They've tried every gimmick in the book to get an audience. -DGUNN

PASSIONS AND TEENS
Passions is heavy on the teen characters. Do you think that the teens are being portrayed realistically on the show? What changes would you make?
