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 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
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.
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.
WRITTEN BY: Silva
The best memory of Sunset Beach was when Gabi and Antonio made love in the rubble!

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!
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????
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! :)
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.
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! :)

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.
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!!)
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.
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...
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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...
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!
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 :)

My best memory is of gabi and antonio making love in the cave.that scene was so real and intense...
WRITTEN BY: Ona
I live in Finland so I haven愒 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愒 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愀 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.
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!!
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.
WRITTEN BY: Chris Shaw
My best memory was when Ben finally got rid of Derek once and for all!
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.
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!!!
WRITTEN BY: Annie
I love them together! Their chemistry in front of the camera was fantastic! Good job Clive and Susan!!!!
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.
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.
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.
WRITTEN BY: Emma

My number 1 worst memory:Marks dead. Was it only me who cried back then?
Best storyline:Terrror Island! Of course!
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 [email protected]
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
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.
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.
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!!
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!!!
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.
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!
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.
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 !!!
SUNSET BEACH WORST MEMORY
AND IT JUST KEPT GOING...
WRITTEN BY: Claire
My worst memory? The number of times someone would say, 'I have to tell you what's going on', at which point you just knew it wasn't going to be told. The way story lines were dragged out way past their sell-by dates was frustrating, but funny as well.
WRITTEN BY: SB Fanatic
What started out as a promising murder mystery with a potential for countless of storyline plot twists went down the drain. From the shooting to Francesca in a cat suit outfit being dragged all over by drunks to being mistake for a stripper and popping out the cake, I was impressed and anticipated how this story would unfold. Then it fizzled. The story was lame, dry and did nothing but bored me to tears. It wasted months on nothing, put Caitlin in jail for weeks for nothing...and what's worse made Gregory a killer! UGH!
THE LAST SHOW-THE WEDDING OF BEN AND HIS PARAMOUR, MEG
WRITTEN BY: Louise Gebauer
The writers chose to ignore the fact that the tide had changed, and the viewers chose Maria. Ben an Meg used and abused her constantly. The writers must be high school boys, because they changed Ben into a "dog". Meg slept in Maria's' house, in Maria's' Bedroom, in Maria's bed, with Maria's husband, AND MARIA SLEPT IN THE NEXT BEDROOM. Plus many more indignities, and we Maria fans never saw any paybacks. The whole thing became ridiculous, as they tried to please the teeny-bopper audience. That is why the show went down.
WRITTEN BY: Bobo
It's funny but this was also one of my favorite moments of Sunset Beach. That moment would be Francesca's murder. I watched SB on and off but really got hooked permanently the week of Francesca's murder. Now of course this was my worst memory because this meant the demise of good ole Franny. I always hoped that Lisa Guerro Cole was going to return but she didn't and in my opinion Sunset just was never the same without her. She really added something special to the show...fun.
WRITTEN BY: Anna
Everyone's thinking out loud all the time, even if it is their darkest secrets. The worst was when Derek was planning to kill Meg, and he was at Ben's house with Meg and Joan. They were talking about the wedding to be, and Meg and Joan decided to rush out and do some shopping. Before they had closed the door, before they had gotten out, Derek said, real loud: "No Meg, there's not going to be a wedding!! - unless I can get those passwords from my brother Ben" It's just soooooo bad.
WRITTEN BY: Scott
This was the most unrealistic storyline ever used in SB. The ending to this storyline was too happy, it would have been more fun if Cole and Francesca hadn't managed to return them in time.
WRITTEN BY: Hazel
Although here in Britain we still have a month to go. I know Ben and Meg get to together. I am so mad at the writers for doing this. They could have done so much with the storyline especially when Ben was remembering his life with Maria it was so stupid that him and Meg getting together at Palm Springs. After all the mucking around with this storyline the writers should have let Maria get with Ben. Has everyone forgotten that Maria was Ben's one true love miles before Meg. Although I will miss Sunset Beach I will be forever mad that two people who were so obviously meant to be never got together. BEN AND MARIA
WRITTEN BY: Amber
My worst memory is after Ben ran into Meg, and they made love in that casita. It was disgusting to me, because Maria would have been worried sick about him, if she had not been distracted with the fact that he brother was in the hospital. It proved to me that Ben and Meg are both selfish, while Maria stands in a class by herself, and is truly amazing... :o)
WRITTEN BY: Johannes
It was the worst Storyline. I wish it never happened! Everything in it was bad
WRITTEN BY: Kay
From the day she showed up, I have hated her. In my opinion, Maria was the downfall of SB. She was whiny and had no backbone. For all of you Meg-haters out there, who was the one who had the courage to walk away from a man who was not treating her right? Meg. Maria stayed around like a stray puppy waiting for a bone. If I was her I would never want to stay in the house with my husband who was obviously in love with someone else. It also annoyed me that she was constantly threatening Ben or Meg to get her way. She weaseled her way back into that house by telling Ben that she would take Benjy if he didn't let her stay there. She overdramatized everything and if there is one good thing about SB being cancelled, it is that I will never have to see her again. *Ben & Meg Forever!*
WRITTEN BY: Elizabeth
How many times did we hear "we can't let Ricardo find the tape of us making love" or see a "cave in" flashback? I was so glad to see that die down.
THE JEWELS WHICH LED TO A MURDER
WRITTEN BY: Jay
What ran from Halloween with Annie choking on a necklace at a party to Christmas with wierd spiritual things happening in a rather bizzare re-union of characters from Amys father going from being dead to alive. It really took the soap to its lowest level. Ok so everyone knows its far fetched but lets have things that could potentially happen. I feel this marked the axe on the soap, it just took so long for producers, directors and other memebers of the cast to fight back, and finally they lost.
WRITTEN BY: Sara
5. Dominique Jennings left the show
4. Lisa Guerro Coles left the show
3. Eddie Cibrian left the show
2. Ricardo tell Gabi that she was a whore
1. Ricardo and Gabi not ending up together

DEREK AND MARIA'S DISGUSTING ROLLS IN THE HAY!!!!
WRITTEN BY: ForeverBenMeg
Well after her quickie with Ben which made me sick her rolls in the hay with Derek were just as bad made me sick to watch.I felt bad for Derek/Clive who looked pyhically ill.I would have rather seen Derek and UNMEG doing it then Derek and Maria.
WORST "LOVE SCENE" (IF YOU COULD EVEN CALL IT THAT) IN HISTORY
WRITTEN BY: Isis
Maria and Ben at the deep hands down, I had to turn of the show for good while until Derek came on the scene again and made everything right again. Thank you Derek for showing everyone once and for all how deep Maria's love for Ben really was.
DAX GRIFFIN IS A "TOP OF THE LINE" THESPIAN
WRITTEN BY: Achee'
Dax Griffin is one of the finest actors that I have ever seen on TV, Movies, or theatrical pieces. The show made a critical mistake for not ever making such an incredible thespian, like Dax Griffin, an intrical part of the day to day drama. It is typical of daytime television execs to hold back such an incredible talent. Dax Griffin, salut.
WRITTEN BY: Paul
Thats easy Maria, she spoiled Ben and Meg relationship. It was so ovious Ben loved Meg, and just hung around like a bad smell.
At least Ben and Meg ended together, there love for each other was amazing.
I really love Meg and i so happy, she found Ben again, and defeated that witch Maria.

I think that the worst thing in the whole story of sunset beach is virginia... I hate her so much:
1. trying to take michael away from Vanessa.
2. going to the witch putting the horrible desiese on Vanessa
3. lying to Michael so he can't keep on looking for her.
She's just disgusting!

I am sorry but since I have watched Sunset Beach I have disliked Meg immensely. Someone said Maria was whiny with no backbone. Excuse me but who was the one always whining and complaining about Ben and everything else and always saying I'm fine when it was obvious she wasn't. Maria and Ben belong together. Maria is the one with a backbone. She let Ben be with Meg even though she loved him with all her heart. In my opinion Tim and Meg were perfect for each other. And don't forget Ben and Meg would never have been together if Maria was still alive. No offense but you Ben and Meg fans need to realize that Maria is the one you should like not Meg. But in the end I'm glad she got happiness even if it wasn't with her soulmate Ben. I was overjoyed when she caught the bouquet at the wedding. Ben and Maria forever!!!!!
THE REVELATION OF FRANCESCA'S MURDERER
WRITTEN BY: Kathryn
I loved when Gregory was finally pinned for the murder of Francesca Vargas. It was pure genius the way Cole and Annie did it. I loved when Gregory forced Francesca to turn around only to reveal Annie in a wig. "Surprise Gregory." Was by far the best/most dramatic line ever used. Annie pulled off that scene wonderfully.

Since the show went off air, I find myself at a complete loss. I miss Sunset Beach and wish that it would return on air. I found myself watching the new soap Passions, and feeling bitter and resentment towards that cast and crew. The acting skills on that show has a lot to be desired. I cannot believe that Passions ratings outnumbered Sunset Beach! I miss Sunset Beach and each and every character. The were alive and believable. They were able to suck us into their world and become one of them. Not many shows can do that. I am still in mourning over the fact it is no longer on. I refuse to dedicate myself to another soap unless the cast of Sunset Beach unite again. Thank you all for entertaining me for the short time on air. What a fantastic memory! Sunset Beach will never be topped in my book. Good luck to all. I miss you!!!

I've been watching the show from day 1 and I only got to miss about less than 10 episodes for the past 3 years of the show. How could NBC be so insensitive to the viewers of Sunset Beach! The show deserved more than the treatment they got from NBC-it is the best soap that ever existed! Sunset Beach had everything-crazy story lines, good love triangles and undoubtedly AMAZING actors. I still haven't seen the final episode nor do I think I will because the local station which airs sunset beach here has cancelled it when we should have still had 7 more months of watching it! But from what I've read, I also think that Olivia was given someone to love-that is Gregory. He shouldn't have been sent to jail, they should have just let him escape or something and just run away to a far off place with Olivia where they can start all over again!!! Another thing is that why didn't the Soap Opera Awards consider Sunset Beach as a nominee??? That moment of Olivia losing her children which from what I've read was really sad and a tearjerker would have stood a fight against all other actresses from those other age old soaps!!! NBC should have just given Sunset Beach time and I'm sure its audience share would increase. Sunset Beach is one show that only people with brains and correct thinking would watch and support. So the people who axed them are bird brained!

Since the first episode i have had Ben and Meg as my favourite couple in sunset beac. And i guess my worst memory was when Maria entered the reception in their wedding. It was horrible to see the look of everyones faces especially Meg. And i felt so sorry for her when Maria faited and Ben ran to her. Since i live in Norway i havent seen all the episodes yet(here in norway fransceska has just been killed) so it will probably come scenes that i will like more. But of all the scenes i have seen so fare my favourite is when Ben and Meg find each other in that left cabin. And finally Ben understands it is Meg he loves and not Maria. And it`s so fun to see the look of Marias face when she finds out.

My best part was when the real Meg had a break and another actress was playing her part for a couple of weeks. Then when the real meg returned she was told by her sister that she looked different somehow and had she changed her hair. Hhhhhmmmmmm.

I'll never forget the first time I watched Sunset Beach, when it hadn't long started here in Scotland. I thought it was so bad, that I had to watch it again the next day, just to see what would happen of course. I promised myself that I would not watch such a cheesy soap again, but aginst my better judgement, I did in fact become one of its many greatest fans, as well as getting all my friends to watch it. It wasn't too hard to find new recruits, and all my closest friends are SB fans. (I wouldn't have it any other way). SB hasn't finished here yet, but it will be a sad day when it does. Aaron Spelling, you are a genius!

Sunset Beach is the first soap opera I ever watched. I had seen episodes of soaps here and there, but was one of those people who belive that they are a lower form of entertainment. A friend began watching and I wanted to know what she was talking about. I began watching sporadically while I was home on occassion. I enjoyed it, but refused to admity. I didn't watch again until August of 1998 and from then on I had not missed a day. Why Sunset? Well, every other soap opera I have seen looks the same to me. They may have the prestige, but I could not watch them and have fun. With Sunset I had fun watching these characters and their lives.I never actually saw Sunset as a good show, but that didn't matter to me, that's not why I was watching it. It's intent, for me, was to be an entertaining show. Sadly, as it ended, it started to become a good show. Had NBC promoted it correctly I am sure that it would have risen in the ratings and become a great show. While watching I always thought no matter what, everyone involved gave their best and them some. The acting improved, as did the writing. I love most things about it. The characters are interesting. But one of my favorite things about the show was doing A Week on the Beach for this site. I was not always consistent, which I regret, but I had fun doing it for you all. Lower points were the turkey baster and as I go through and watch old tapes I can't belive that the writers actually gave Virginia those horrid lines. The Rosario Jewels could have been much better. But I think towards the end Sunset understood this and were trying their damn hardest to make a good show, which they succeeded in. As I did in my final Week on the Beach, I want to thank each and every cast member and crew member for their dedication to our little show that we will always love and miss. Good luck to all of you, we'll be watching.

I live in Finland and we have still year to go until Sunset Beach end. In Finland Hillary has just died and Francesca has found out that one of the Rosario愀 jewels is missing. My favorite moment on SB is when Caitlin realise that Cole and Francesca has stold Annie愀 neclase. It was so great when Cole tried to explane it to Caitlin. Cole and Caitlin愀 wedding was one of the greatest momets too. The worst storyline was Martin syndrome. It was so borring when Vanessa lived in Tyus愀 house hiding from Michael!
BASTING CHICKEN WILL NEVER BE THE SAME
WRITTEN BY: Karen
Virgina - oh Virginia. The scene where she had impregnated Vanessa with the turkey baster - what a hoot!!!! The scene where it came up in captions 'don't worry folks it's a new one' when she went to Michael and Vanessas for Thanksgiving and bought a turkey baster out of her bag! Also Olivias dream scene where every one in turn pops up in her bed ending with the maid also turning up was a scream! I'll miss you Sunset Beach!
WRITTEN BY: Hannah
For me I loved all the Annie drama and flashbacks, the way her character was so alive and mischevious was great! I hope they show re-runs coz I never did get to see the one with wipped cream, but I heard it was good. The worst part, apart from it being axed :( *sob* was the way the storylines dragged on forever, although it made going on holiday so much easier, lol. And I never did find out what happened to Francesca when she got to hell.....long live the memories of sunset beach, always and forever.
WRITTEN BY: Deborah - London
I think some of the funniest scenes have been those supposedley set in England. The Policemen looking for Cole on the plane, soon after he and Annie landed in London were "oh so very polite", (Yeah right) And the scene with Cole (somewhere in England) in an old red phonebox surrounded by thick fog!! What a hoot! so very corny so Sunset Beachy!

Does anyone remember those speech bubbles that appeared a couple of times? First time I saw them was when Maria was sketching Ben's picture, and then appeared this bubble that said something like "We know that doesn't look like Ben". And the second time was when Virginia went to Vanessa's and Michael's house for Thanksgiving. Vanessa asked "Did you bring the turkey baster?" and Virginia got it from her bag. Then came the bubble and said "Don't worry folks, this is brand new!". I wish there would have been more of these bubbles, although SB hasn't ended here in Finland yet, so I'll just keep on waiting for them to appear...

I'm no puritan or anything, but I've to say that I'm a little upset with Susan Ward's recent "indecent" exposure (the new pics). Although she definitely looked hot in those pictures, I still think it was indecent. She's a beautiful and talented actor. She shouldn't pose for those skin-barring photos just to get publicity.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COOL IF...

If SB ended with Meg hugging Ben and Ben gives a look that implies he is really Derek... it would have been different.
WRITTEN BY: James
Remember when Ben broke out of his chains after Dereck was continually taunting him, it showed the true power of his love for Meg and to an extent the weakness of the handcuffs. But that does not matter, the best show on Television is gone but I live in hope of re-runs, all the best from Irelands biggest Sunset Beach fan!
WRITTEN BY: Bianca
The acting was hilarious (although no disrespect to the actors), the sets always the same and so extravigant, the fashion was out of this world and the story lines, well what can I say!! However, the men in Sunset were all gorgeous - starting off with Casey - what a body, Cole - those dimples, Antonio - if only priests were that hot we would all convert and believe!, and my personal favourite Jude - wow what a body and all his little karate antics were out of this world! Shame he came along in the end!! Never will Saturday afternoons (that's when I saw SB in the UK), be so eventful! I will truly miss these men in my life!!
