[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 79709, member: 673"] It's been years since I watched it but the optimistic couple who moved to PP were the couple where Michelle Stafford was the wife (Nick & Joanna). I don't think they broke up during the course of the show. The couple that did break up were played by Greg Evigan and Finola Hughes (Robert & Kate). I think they were trying to position Kate as the scorned ex wife who would be a thorn in the new couple's side, so there was a bit of a personality change from when we first saw her on the show. The title isn't great but is in keeping with the 90's practice of naming your soap after it's setting. To someone living in Europe, it sounded a bit odd though. I'd never heard of the word "palisade" before that show. I like [I]2000 Malibu Road[/I] as a title but it's quite a restrictive title isn't it? Like had it lasted seven seasons, would they all still be sharing the beach house? Or would it be like [I]Flamingo Road[/I], where only a handful of the characters live there and the rest of the action takes place elsewhere? On the subject of titles, I love [I]Titans[/I], even though one reviewer at the time suggested that it sounded like a brand name for condoms. It would've been a good title for the [I]Dynasty[/I] spinoff too but they were clearly trying to hammer home the connection between the show's by going with the super obvious [I]The Colbys.[/I] [/QUOTE]
