RETURN TO POINT PLEASANT




The streets are tree-lined and mostly quiet.The breezes that blow in off the Atlantic Ocean-heavenly.Point Pleasant indeed..!The one-hour drama centers on pretty blond Christina Nixon,who turns up on the beach in Point Pleasant one day and soon begins raising hell.Wherever she goes storm clouds gather,candles blow out,cars explode in flames.The reason soon becomes clear:she's the Devil's daughter.In the pilot,Christina falls off a cruise ship and floats into shore where she's rescued by a lifeguard and taken in by a local family.Then,her wicked ways begin to manifest themselves.The executive-producer says:"We're operating on the principle that if the Devil was somebody,it would be somebody really attractive.Nobody is going to be taken in if he has a long,red,pointy tail...He will look attractive,and he will be nice and helpful." While sinister forces in New York debate Christina's future and the unfolding of her dark powers,she discovers that her mother actually came from Point Pleasant and was a good,saintly woman.So,the series rests on whether Christina takes after Dad or Mom,and the fate of the world may depend on her decision.The producer of the show had this idea:what if there was an equally good side to the character? "The relationships that she forges are volatile because they're emotional,but they're also the things that might save her.The family she lives with and the people she cares about become her support system." In the end,it was the continual betrayal of people Christina cared about that brought out the darkness in her.
