Riptide will debut on Friday, January 26th, sometime in the evening. The soap centers around the fictional Los Angeles surburb of Aurora Shores, and the lives of several key citizens.
Former champion surfer Kyle Mackenzie was devastated when his thirteen year-old daughter Melanie decided to leave Aurora Shores to live with his sister. Melanie promised she would return---but only if her dad divorced her mom Lynda, a lush and an adulteress who bore another child with up-and-coming politician Alex Wheeler.
Twenty years later, Melanie is a 33 year-old widowed mother living in Philadelphia. Still reeling from the untimely death of her husband Mike Edwards, she gets the news she's been waiting so long to hear.
"I'm divorcing Lynda...please come home."
Melanie, along with her 2 year-old daughter Kylie, head back to Aurora Shores, and her life, as she knows it, will never be the same. Not only does she have to deal with seeing her mother, a woman she severed ties with twenty years ago, she discovers her half-brother Julian, the love child of her mother and Alex Wheeler, has turned into an out-of-control party boy only living for his next high, his next drink, and his next sexual conquest. The golden beaches of Melanie's once perfect little town have become a home for sin and scandal, and her return isn't just breaking waves---it's a hurricane waiting to happen...
In the meantime, listen to the theme song and be prepared to get caught under with Riptide on January 26th!
