This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

This was my favorite teen soap opera ever! I first fell in love with Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy) on this show. It was a great show for young people and it is dearly missed. You would think that so many actors from this show had such great success that they would release it on DVD. Maybe one day they will including the lost episodes which were taped but never aired. They ended the summer hit with the quote at the end credits :LET US HEAR FROM YOU" but there was absolutely no contact information. Maybe E! can run a true Hollywood story about it. Vote for the shows DVD Release at WWW.TVSHOWSONDVD.Com or write to the company that own the rights. This is sad that they pulled this show and ignored the requests of the fans if you can find a petition online then sign it if not take a stamp and mail a letter to the address below! Sachs Family Entertainment 12301 Wilshire Blvd. Suite 611 Los Angeles, CA 90025 If you are a SMG fan or Mira Sorvino or Brittany Daniel you will adore this show! BRING SWANS BACK!

I don't even know what made me think of Swan's Crossing recently, but I just had to go on here and see if other people remembered it. I used to LOVE this show. I thought Shane McDermott was the cat's PJs back then. I used to watch it in the mornings before school when I was in jr high. I'm pretty sure I still have the poster I got from one of those geeky teen pin-up magazines packed in a box somewhere. I just couldn't part with it for some reason. I can still remember the party that Mila's mom threw for her where everything was pink and there were pink drinks called "Mila Floats." I remember the bird, Tutu, was singing on a video. I thought Sarah Michelle Gellar was just the coolest and wanted to look exactly like her. I didn't realize that Mira Sorvino was on the show. How funny! I would love to find Swan's Crossing on DVD just for a laugh.

Yes, this was a soap opera... a teen soap opera. And not just a regular soap opera, but one of those fantasy soaps, such as Passions and Days of Our Lives. So why do I remember it 9 years after it was canceled? Because it was great. It was shamelessly melodramatic and superficial, filled with conniving and selfish "poor, little rich kids". Imagine having Cruel Intentions piped into your living room 5 days a week. Trust me, you'd get addicted to it just as my friends and I did. There was even a campaign to get the show back on the air. My school had a petition. Why am I telling you this embarrassing bit of unsolicited information? Because you need to know the truth. Sarah Michelle Gellar was a remarkable actor then, just as she is now. And her presence alone made this show respectable and worthy of our affections. I still to this day remember a specific episode in which Sydney (SMG's character) was supposed to publicly announce her secret relationship with the son of her mother's rival. Well, you can pretty much figure out this storyline. Sydney chickened out and her boyfriend gave up on her. And she ran after him, taking a shortcut through a cemetery, where she fell on her father's grave. She finally arrived with dirt and leaves in her hair, her make-up smeared, only to see her beloved with his arms around the dim-witted and naïve third member of this love triangle. If Sydney had been played by someone else, this episode would have seemed to come right out of a Mexican soap, displaying an absurdly awful case of over-acting. It would've been nothing more than a bad joke. But fortunately, SMG brought real emotion to a severely lacking script, and she made me cry with her. So on this day of Buffy's season finale (series finale?), as SMG's career takes another spectacular turn, I thought I'd tell you that Swans Crossing wasn't what you think it was. It was a lot more.

This was by far one of the best-written and best acted shows for teenagers in memory. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Brittany Daniel, and Mira Sorvino all went on to have fabulous careers, and they all did a fine job on this show. SMG blew me away in her scenes where her character Sydney nearly drowned and was in shock. "Nobody helps me! Never!" What a powerful performance (I still believe it was the best scene I have ever seen her do)! It only lasted 13 weeks, not nearly given enough time to build a solid audience plus the timeslots were a little ridiculous. Most of all, the show was somewhat a fantasy, but it was real enough because the characters were going through what normal teenagers go through. The storylines were clever and there was always a surprise on Friday's episode (not many soaps can say that). Too bad the devoted fans will never get to find out how these stories played out. Had this show been given a chance, it might have lasted for years.
