Members Manny Posted July 18, 2006 Members Share Posted July 18, 2006 Does anyone remember this mini-series? The reruns are going now in Croatia and I just LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE the show! It has wonderful cast and great story! I have already read the books years ago, but seeing it again is so special! I love Kirstie Alley as Virgilia, Terri Garber as Ashton, Lesley Anne Down as Madeline... I love George & Constance together! Conastance is a very beautiful woman! And I love seeing all these soap people on my screen lol (Genie Francis, Lesley Anne Down, Terri Garber...) Does anyone else love this series??

Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted July 21, 2006 Members Share Posted July 21, 2006 I loved it when it was on. I think that Patrick Sayswe (sp) played one of the guys and I can picture the other one but I can't put a name to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Manny Posted July 22, 2006 Author Members Share Posted July 22, 2006 Yup, it was Patrick Swayze (Orry Maine) and James Read (George Hazard)! Book 1 just finished in Croatia and the war started! Virgilia (Kiristie Alley) went a bit nutty and she is SOOOO GOOOOOD! It's great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted July 22, 2006 Members Share Posted July 22, 2006 It is one of my favorite mini-series of all time Manny. Terri Garber should have had a bigger career than she did. She was wonderful on Texas in the mid-80's, and then went on to do a few things in primetime and really made a splash in North and South. But she just virtually disappeared afterward. The story also continues in North and South Book 2. Maybe they will air that there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PMac Posted July 24, 2006 Members Share Posted July 24, 2006 SteveFrame, Terri Garber was recently on As the World Turns for about a year as Iris. I still love her - she was great as Ashton Maine!! I loved that mini-series, too. Lesley-Ann Down was Madeline - she was such a knockout!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted August 3, 2006 Members Share Posted August 3, 2006 I loved Book One the most. Book Two was great, but was less story and more on the Civil War. But, if edited together, they are my favorites after Roots. North And South Book Three? Stay away from that at all cost. The all-time worse mini series in television history, bar none.

Members ilovesteveandkayla Posted August 3, 2006 Members Share Posted August 3, 2006 Great Mini series!! You can buy the full collection on DVD. My mother and I both enjoyed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted August 7, 2006 Members Share Posted August 7, 2006 But now, from what I understand, the ending of Book Two was completely different from the book. Could someone fill me in without spoiling it for Manny and anyone else? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Manny Posted August 12, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 12, 2006 It ended on Thursday here... It was wonderful! I love it! :D Roman, do you want the ending of the series? Here you are: So the war ends and George leaves home to see his family. Virgilia is arrested for murdering her lover Sam and she is exectued by hanging. George decides to find Orry, who was missing after the war and he finds him in some hospital. They return together to Mont Royal (family Maine's estate). Earlier, Billy also returned to Mont Royal and reunited with Brett. Orry and George go to find Madeline in Charleston and they do, so Madeline and Orry reunite and come back to Mont Royal. Charles went to find Augusta, but learned she died during labor, but she left him a son. Charles went to find the baby, who was taken by Augusta's cousins. After getting the child, Charles went back to Mont Royal too. Before George, Orry and Madeline returned to Mont Royal, Salem Jones and his gang decided to burn Mont Royal. They went there and started trashing the place, as Billy, Charles, Brett and other tries to fight them. In the fight, Clarissa Maine got killed. Orry, George and Madeline returned just in the end to save others, but Mont Royal was burnt to the ground and Clarissa couldn't be saved. Ashton wasn't seen in the last episode here...

Members Roman Posted August 13, 2006 Members Share Posted August 13, 2006 Thanks for that info. How was the ending in the book? I never read the book, but saw all three mini series. I heard that ABC wanted the endings to be different from the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
