It's a bit Upstairs Downstairs meets Dynasty. The Öhman family rules a large department store. Margareta Öhman (the Alexis Carrington Colby kind of character) assumes her father will make her the new CEO and is deeply shocked when he instead chooses the sweet and gracious outsider Karin (the Krystle Carrington kind of character). Lots of intrigues with them and the other board members - the upstairs crowd.We also get to follow their employees (the "downstairs" people). People working in the clothing department, the food department, the stock room etc. Lots of intrigues going on there too. An employee getting together with a board member, smuggling in the stock room etc. But also sweet Edith who works in the charcuterie section who has some health problems and an alcoholic husband. Her colleague Rickard is enormously shy and secretly in love with his co-worker Tina. It ran for 60 episodes (5 seasons) on SVT1.[MEDIA=youtube]SrITHdtwIOA[/MEDIA]<img src="https://chef.se/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/varuhuset.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Margareta (the Alexis in blonde hair) and Karin (The Krystle in dark hair).<img src="https://www.svtstatic.se/image-cms/oppet-arkiv/1420799987000/v/article2590398.svt/ALTERNATES/extralarge/varuhuset-ensembel-jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://www.svtstatic.se/image-cms/oppet-arkiv/1420291440000/v/article2579840.svt/ALTERNATES/extralarge/varuhuset2-2-jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://www.svtstatic.se/image-cms/oppet-arkiv/1420301597000/v/article2579969.svt/ALTERNATES/medium/varuhuset10-jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://www.svtstatic.se/image-cms/oppet-arkiv/1420299761000/v/article2579945.svt/ALTERNATES/medium/varuhuset7-2-jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://www.svtstatic.se/image-cms/oppet-arkiv/1420303296000/v/article2579978.svt/ALTERNATES/medium/varuhuset12-jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://mz-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/photo/file/153278/75c4500ee45e4e5911eb4f61c7134eb0-Varu6.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://mz-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/uploads/photo/file/153277/75c4500ee45e4e5911eb4f61c7134eb0-Varu7.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://www.svtstatic.se/image-cms/oppet-arkiv/1420468100000/v/article2578282.svt/ALTERNATES/extralarge/varuhuset27-jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BODhmOWVkOTUtNDQ5OS00YjM2LTlmNTUtZWM2MDYxNmY0OTc2XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyMjUyNDk2ODc@._V1_.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> I've never seen this before. Varuhuset - the musical. <img src="http://www.hazelnet.org/icon/emote/happy/rofl2.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":floor:" title="Floor    :floor:" data-shortname=":floor:" /><img src="http://www.hazelnet.org/icon/emote/happy/rofl2.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":floor:" title="Floor    :floor:" data-shortname=":floor:" /><img src="http://www.hazelnet.org/icon/emote/happy/rofl2.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":floor:" title="Floor    :floor:" data-shortname=":floor:" /><img src="http://www.hazelnet.org/icon/emote/happy/rofl2.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":floor:" title="Floor    :floor:" data-shortname=":floor:" />Was not part of the original series. Probably made after the last episode to celebrate a good run. [MEDIA=youtube]tCDNN6HNtBs[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
