	In a farewell post to the show (or so I have been told), I have
decided to post my episode guide for Going to Extremes.  Someone else has
been working on one as well, but I tried to contact him to no avail.  So,
anyway, here it is.
	Apologies to the NEXP fans who don't like the show, but, hey, this
is possibly the last you'll hear of it.

Going to Extremes Episode Guide
-------------------------------
by Cliff Chen

Background
----------
	The story of the students and educators at Croft University medical
  school, based in Jantique.  Jantique is a fictitious island (really
  Jamaica) located in the Caribbean.  The majority of the students attend
  because they were unable to obtain acceptance into a school in the U.S., so
  many tend to transfer.


Cast of Characters
------------------
Kim (no last name given)		Camilo Gallardo
	Kim is the "zen" character in the show.  He lives at the house with
  the other students, but fits in with the society very well.  He can often
  be found performing Tai Chi or philosophizing.

Cheryl Carter				Erika Alexander
	Cheryl is one of the new students to the school.  She is one of the
  best students at Croft academically, but has a hard time adjusting to
  living in squalor in Jantique.  Originally, she is from New York.

Dr. Henry Croft				Roy Dotrice
	The founder of Croft University.  Croft is an outspoken individual who
  became a multi-millionaire ($55 million) from a patent for a joint
  replacement system.  He has since moved to Jantique, bought a resort, and
  converted it into the Croft University.

Dr. Alice Davis				June Chadwick
	The insatiable professor of internal medicine from Oxford who has an
  unusual outlook on life.  She prefers to control all her relations with
  men and does not believe in love.

Alex Loren				Daniel Jenkins
	Alex is the happy-go-lucky member of the group.  He has come to 
  Jantique because he figured that if he is going to get a second rate
  medical education, it might as well be on an island paradise.  He is from
  Chicago.

Kathleen McDermott			Joanna Going
	Kathleen rounds out the final member of the group living in the house.
  She has lost many ties with her home and is open to the new society and
  embraces it quickly.  She is from Minnesota.

Colin Midford				Robert Duncan McNeill
	Colin is the bitter student who has been attending Croft for quite
  some time.  He has constantly been attempting to transfer to a state-side
  school, but without any luck.  He is from Vermont.

Charlie Moran				Andrew Lauer
	Charlie is the insecure student of the group who live in the house on
  the shore.  Charlie is not a good student and has difficulty with studying.
  He is from Wooster, Massachusetts.

Dr. Michael Norris			Carl Lumbly
	A native of Jantique who has returned to the island as the Dean of
  Croft U. and also a doctor of pediatrics.  He graduated from Johns Hopkins
  University and has an ex-wife and son (Jeffrey) living in the United
  States.  Dr. Norris also runs a free medical clinic where the students are
  required to put in some time.

Dr. Jack Van De Weghe			Charles Keating
	An Australian professor of anatomy whose charismatic ways win him
  the student's respect as well as many women.


Recurring Characters
--------------------
Delia (Cherish)				Leonie Forbes
	The maid who comes with the house that the five students are renting.

Desmond					Christopher Daley
	A native boy who befriends Charlie but whose patois is rather
  unintelligible.

	Nouwee is a mysteriously mute character who only reveals himself to
  Charlie.

Roger					Delroy Lindo
	A native who befriends Kathleen.

Sarah					Pauline Stone
	The nurse at the clinic.

Solomon					Stafford Ashani
	Solomon runs the local food establishment which the characters
  frequent.  He is a difficult person to know and is particularly callous to
  outsiders.

Ben Harrison				Gil Bellows
	Ben is a rejected student who shows up one semester after our regular
  cast and manages to finagle his way into the university.  He went to Desert
  Storm.

Carolyn Pierson				Kathleen McKenny
	A country girl from Wisconsin who transfers to Croft University.
