Swans Crossing

Swans Crossing is an American teen drama television series created by Mardee Kravit and Ned Kandel. The series stars Sarah Michelle Gellar, Brittany Daniel, Stacey Moseley, and Eddie Robinson. It aired in syndication from June 29 to September 25, 1992. In 2017, Tribune Broadcasting announced plans of producing a soap opera block for The WB (called Daytime WB). The 90-minute block would air before the Kids WB! block. They announced that they would reboot the series, with the series debuting Oct. 2, 2017.
== Synopsis ==
The series chronicles the lives of a group of wealthy teenagers living in the seaside town of Swans Crossing. Sydney Rutledge was the daughter of the town's mayor, Margaret "Muffy" Rutledge. They lived right next door to the mayor's political rival, Grant Booth, and his family. Sydney had a close but secret friendship with Grant's son, Garrett, but the parents found out and built a literal wall between them and their houses. The couple broke up but still stayed in the same social groups, generating a bitter struggle between them as the season progressed.
Other major characters in Swans Crossing were J.T. Adams and Neil Atwater, best friends and scientific geniuses; Bobby "Saja" De Castro; Saja's sister Sophia Eva McCormick Decastro, Sandy Swan and Owen Fowler, the talented musicians; Jimmy Clayton and Callie Walker, the auto mechanics; Glory Booth, Garrett's younger sister and J.T.'s love interest; Nancy Robbins, Sydney's best friend; and Mila Rosnovsky, Garrett's new girlfriend and the daughter of a countess who is an old friend of the Mayor's.
Spies, first loves, phony birth certificates, and the preservation of endangered species, fueled the plots. One major storyline that never got resolved was Garrett blackmailing Sydney with the fact that he could prove she was swapped at birth with Sandy Swan (the birth certificate was phony). After making peace with Callie and Jimmy, they offered to help Sydney find the evidence to help her disprove it.
== Production ==
The series, which was created by Ned Kandel and Mardee Kravit, was taped at Kaufman Astoria Studios in Queens, home of Sesame Street and The Cosby Show. The show was filmed on videotape and shot and edited in a way to resemble a daytime soap opera similar to that of shows such as All My Children and The Young and the Restless.
