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!!
