Sunset Beach : Synopsis, Pictures, Photos, Trivia, Filming Locations

Having discovered her fiancé Tim Truman kissing another woman, Meg Cummings leaves her home in Kansas on their wedding day to start a new life in Sunset Beach, California. Her goal is to find a computer pen pal, SB. Soon after she sets foot on Sunset Beach, Meg's life is turned upside-down, as she becomes involved in the dynamic lives of the Beach's residents.

Lesley-Anne Down's character was originally going to be named Sheila, but Down explained to Aaron Spelling that Sheila is a derogatory Australian slang term for a woman and might cause problems with overseas sales. She suggested Olivia or Stephanie as alternatives, so the character became Olivia Harrow Richards.

'Kristin Davis' was originally offered the role of Meg Cummings, but she turned it down.

The character of Meg was originally named Susan Cummings, but was changed when Susan Ward was cast in the role.

Originally, Vanessa Dorman was to play Tiffany Thorne but she got the role of Kayla Richards instead (the character name Kayla was changed to Caitlin before filming began).

Clive Robertson landed the role of Ben Evans during a three-week vacation in Los Angeles. He had only a few weeks to return to his home in London, England, acquire a visa, and move to a new country.
