Members dc11786 Posted November 10, 2017 Members Share Posted November 10, 2017 I don't really want to create a thread for this since I don't think it will generate much traffic, but Pure Flix, the Christian alternative to Netflix, has released the first eight episodes of its Christian soap opera, HILTON HEAD ISLAND. Pure Flix offers a 1-month free subscription. I can't really say I'm overly impressed, and I'm a fan of 'bad' soap opera. The overall production is fairly lifeless. Despite some big names (Donna Mills, Antonio Sabato, Jr.), the overall acting and storytelling are as bad as the greenscreen sets. I could overlook the greenscreen if the story was stronger, but it is all so vanilla. The only characters who show a shred of being interesting are being kept on the sidelines. These characters are Aaron Fergland, the African American news director who was raised along the wealthy white Trisk kids when his mother became their maid. Aaron, we are told, was on the path to being a hoodlum before Daniel Trisk (Michael Swan) took him under his wing. The potential conflict with this non-biological son and his other two sons, the subtly named Christian and Jude, could lead to something as could the relationship between Aaron and his wife Naomi, who works in the mayor's office and has chosen her job over starting a family. The other character of note is Chance Montgomery, a New York newsman who Victoria Trisk (Donna Mills) is trying to lure back to Hilton Head Island to assume Daniel's place in business and in Victoria's bed. Crystal Hunt does an above average job as the doctor daughter, Elisha, who returns to town when her father falls ill, but has little to do. Antonio Sabato, Jr. squabbles a lot with the other characters as the 'bad' brother Jude, but has no real definition. None of the newcomers stand out other than the characters mentioned above. Some of it is weak acting, a lot of it is underdeveloped writing, but most of it is just lack of an interesting driving story. With so many characters and so little time, a quicker, snappier narrative would help. The religious piece isn't overwhelming. Wink Martindale has appeared twice as the local pastor in the first five episodes I saw. Only one of his two appearances had a heavy religious bent. Mostly, characters say grace before eating and pray for their loved ones in times of crisis. Nothing too heavy handed. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this, but there are suppose to be two more sets of episodes released to bring the show up to 22 episodes. Things could improve for the better, or for the worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 22, 2018 Members Share Posted March 22, 2018 Chandler Harben has just shown up in the 1975 reruns of The Doctors on Retro TV. I heard that his last soap role was on AL, where he played a mentally-challenged guy who assaulted women. I've looked on YouTube but can't seem to find him. Can anyone help? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted March 22, 2018 Members Share Posted March 22, 2018 http://www.dailymotion.com/phanta773 You can find most of the series (minus the first 70, which were not syndicated). I'm not sure if Chandler is in any of them, but it's the best site for AL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Travis Brivett Posted July 11, 2020 Members Share Posted July 11, 2020 Hello, my name is Travis and I was born 10 months after Another Life was cancelled. Someone has posted episodes 70-final episode (episode 875) on Youtube, which I continue to watch with the greatest glee! The first 69 episodes are removed from syndication, so the serial is re-run from episode 70. Does anyone have any pre-70 episodes that they can share with me, whether thru sale or trade please? Another Life's 40th anniversary debut will be this coming June 1, 2021. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 2, 2020 Members Share Posted November 2, 2020 Dorothy Stinnette and Debbie McLeod in an ad together. I wonder if the casting person was an Another Life fan.

Members Chris B Posted November 15, 2020 Members Share Posted November 15, 2020 I never paid attention to this show because I figured it was a deeply religious stuff without much in terms of drama. After reading this thread and seeing that it’s available online I decided to start with episode 1(70). I planned to just test it, but I’m onto my fourth episode now. The brief recap was very effective and it was extremely easy to jump into. I don’t have any desire to go back nor do I feel like I missed anything. It’s obvious they had creative struggles and this was their retool and so far it’s doing it’s job in keeping me interested. The production values and sets are fantastic. The acting isn’t bad either for a non union production. Story wise I’m enjoying everything. Lori’s accident and Jeff and his wife’s marriage issues are both good jumping off points. I was looking for a new show to watch and it looks like I found it! Thanks to you guys for the posts and info which led me to watch! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted November 15, 2020 Members Share Posted November 15, 2020 Is the entire thing online? If so, I might add it to my daily watch list once I've finished Peyton Place, Ocean Ave. and Strange Paradise (my current daily watch is Dark Shadows / Peyton Place - I plan to slot in Strange Paradise into that once I'm done with PP; Ocean Ave. is something I have on as background noise and in all honestly I'll probably finish it in a day or two Please register in order to view this content ). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted November 15, 2020 Members Share Posted November 15, 2020 @te. Episode #70-the finale are available. They reran the series and the person that put it up recorded it. They never reran 1-69. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soaplovers Posted November 15, 2020 Members Share Posted November 15, 2020 The first 69 episodes basically dealt with rich girl Miriam spreading rumors about goody goody Lori. Miriam becomes the breakout character...imho 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted November 15, 2020 Members Share Posted November 15, 2020 Honestly, you won’t miss the first 69 episodes. From what I’ve read, creatively the show wasn’t very good and the syndicated jump off part is perfect. Plus there’s so many episodes so I’m looking forward to a long binge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
