EPISODE 7 (7/24)

(The screen turns white as the Somerset skyline is drawn line by line on the screen and the music swells) This... is Somerset. SCENE ONE The scene is a direct pickup from Monday's broadcast, with George Cleypool seeing Susannah and turning toward her. GEORGE: Are you the irresponsible fool who nearly killed my son?

(The screen turns white, with the town of Somerset being drawn line by line on the screen) This... is Somerset.

EPISODE 4 (7/19)

(The serial starts with the line-by-line drawing of the town, as the music climaxes...) This... is Somerset. SCENE ONE We fade in on an empty apartment, but we hear a rustling of keys and an unlocking door. Alana walks in with takeout food and turns on the light, setting the food on the counter.

EPISODE 3 (07/18)

(The screen turns white, and the town of Somerset is drawn line-by-line as the music builds) This... is Somerset. SCENE ONE An outside shot of an imposing-looking mansion nestled in on a hill. This is the Cleypool mansion, formerly owned by Emily Moore and Philip Matson but sold in the mid-1970s. The property was abandoned for several years before George Cleypool stepped in to buy it. George is inside sitting in his richly decorated study, looking at what appears to be a legal document

EPISODE 2 (7/17)

(We open with the line-by-line drawing of the town of Somerset on the screen as the music reaches its dramatic climax...) This.... is Somerset. An outside shot of a high-rise building that is clearly a hospital campus, as the camera zooms in on one of the higher floors. Somerset Hospital is bustling with activity at midday, and nurse Alana Singleton is holding down the fort at the front desk when the phone buzzes. ALANA: (Picks up) Fourth floor, Nurse Singleton?

EPISODE 1 -- THE PREMIERE (7/16/07)

The serial opens with a sweeping camera view as we focus in on a car driving along a highway, with a woman in her late 30s at the wheel. The car drives along, and we see an exterior shot of the car passing a nice display with a sign that says "Welcome to Somerset". The car pulls over at a scenic overlook, and the woman gets out to view the area. Another car is heard pulling up behind the stopped vehicle, and we hear a woman's voice. The voice is that of Lahoma Lucas, who still has that So

Somerset. Premieres Monday.

To get everyone up to speed before Somerset premieres, here are some teasers from creator Steve Ungrey about what to expect in the future weeks. "Don't be surprised by the show's slow pace," Ungrey said. "From our premiere Monday, I want to establish the characters and slowly lay the groundwork for some good stories in the months to come." With that in mind, here are some coming attractions. "The town is the star," Ungrey said. "It's changed a lot since viewers last saw it in 1976. Dela

What is Somerset all about?

(SONBC) -- As the daytime drama Somerset nears its July 16 premiere on SONBC, series creator and head writer Steve Ungrey steps out from behind the keyboard to talk about his newest entry and get viewers ready for what he hopes is a show that they will enjoy.

It's obvious that in over 30 years this town has grown up but it's also lost some of its old charm. Delaney B
