E STREET

'''E Street''' was an Australian television soap opera created by Forrest Redlich and produced by the Ten Network from 1989 to 1993.
Whereas ''Neighbours'' was set in a suburb, ''Home and Away'' took place in a seaside town, and ''Richmond Hill '' a semi-rural community, ''E Street'' was set in a tough inner-city district called Westside and stories revolved around the potted community there.
The moderately successful and sedately-paced serial ''Richmond Hill'' had been cancelled by Ten to make way for ''E Street''. ''Richmond Hill'' had also been successfully sold to ITV in the UK, and was rating in the high-20's in Australia, so it was a huge gamble to axe it and replace it with ''E Street''. Indeed, it would take 3 years for a UK broadcaster to pick up the soap and ''E Street'' initially rated somewhat lower than ''Richmond Hill'', but audience research indicated that it attracted a significant proportion of the 14-35 audience and a large male viewership - a demographic highly prized by advertisers. Later, with racier storylines, the ratings climbed, eventually eclipsing the figures that ''Richmond Hill'' had attracted. ''E Street'' ran for 404 one-hour episodes. Like many Australian soap operas before it, ''E Street'' was broadcast as two one-hour episodes each week. Until the premiere of ''HeadLand'' in November 2005, it had been the last Australian soap opera to screen its episodes in this format.
The series was modelled on ''A Country Practice'' (Forrest Redlich had worked as a writer on 'ACP') and could initially be seen as an urban version of that soap. The parallels were obvious: both soaps featured a police station, local pub and a doctor's surgery. Whereas'' A Country Practice'' featured a veterinary surgery, in ''E Street'', this was replaced with a legal centre. A more obvious borrowing from ''A Country Practice'' came with the addition of Penny Cook as ''E Street''s' anchor character, Dr Elly Fielding. Penny Cook had previously had a tremendously popular run as vet Vicky Dean in ACP from 1981 to 1985 and she was the first of several well-known actors to cross over to ''E Street'' during its 5 year run.
But what started out as a gritty, urban soap than its contemporaries, the soap did not perform well in Australia and this led to many changes in direction and ''E Street'' quickly descended into an increasingly wild, exaggerated series. As early as 6 months in, the soap began to change. At first, the original 'serious' issue-based storylines were replaced by more upbeat plots and comedy characters were added, brightening up the whole feel and look of the prevailing serial. However, the shocking demise of two original cast members set the tone of what was to come, and during 1990, ''E Street'' changed direction again, and a deranged drug-addicted maniac arrived, killing-off 4 characters and considerably shaking up the audience figures in the process. This high drama gave way to outlandish plots and with the arrival of the notorious serial killer 'Mr Bad', the show began a long, convoluted storyline which eventually affected every cast member over an entire 12 months, with more high-profile contract cast members unceremoniously killed off during this grisly but utterly compelling storyline. ''E Street'' then tackled drug abuse, gangsters, werewolfs and crazy stalkers - but all along, the serial did not take itself seriously and this made the relentlessly sensational plots very enjoyable and, for a brief time, it was the most popular serial in Australia.
Several music videos and musical performances were also incorporated into episodes to promote music released on the offshoot ''Westside Records'' music label whilst some of the actresses (namely Melissa Tkautz and Toni Pearen) released singles which were massive hits in Australia. Melissa Tkautz had the biggest selling single of 1991 with her #1 dance hit "Read My Lips" and the follow up, "Sexy (Is The Word)", made #3 the same year, all thanks to their inclusion on ''E Street''.
In the UK, Sky Television bought the series in 1992, some three years after its Australian debut. The broadcaster had already screened long-running serials ''A Country Practice'', ''The Young Doctors'' and ''The Sullivans'' although after the launch of ''E Street'', all three serials had disappeared from the daytime schedule. Sky Television aired ''E Street'' in a 30 minute format stripped Mondays to Fridays (this format had also been used in the UK when broadcasting hour long drama ''A Country Practice''), screened at 6.30pm, with a repeat the following afternoon at 12.30pm (later 1pm). The series launched on Sunday, April 2nd 1992 at 8pm (technically, this was a repeat, as the Pilot had also been shown during that afternoon), and following the introductory 90 minute episode, Sky picked up the story from Episode 41 on Monday, April 3rd.
Sky heavily publicised the launch of their new Australian soap, and promoted it with the tagline "''Meet Your New Neighbours on E Street''", clearly using the popularity of the BBC's ''Neighbours'' to lure viewers. This slogan could be seen across the country on double decker buses, billboards and teen magazine advertisements. The actors Tony Martin (Bob), Alyssa-Jane Cook (Lisa), Marcus Graham (Wheels), Leslie Dayman (George), Cecily Polsen (Martha) and Vic Rooney (Ernie) all flew to Britain to appear in advertisements promoting the launch of the soap. Indeed, during the first 6 months it aired in the UK, ''E Street'' became one of Sky's highest rated programmes averaging around 750,000 viewers. This was at a time when there was an available audience of around 2.5 million due to Sky only being available via the Astra satellite.
After 18 months, and after its subsequent axing in Australia, ''E Street'' was then switched to Saturday (6pm) and Sunday (1pm) afternoons in its original Australian 60 minute format. This was to briefly accommodate a new Australian soap called ''Paradise Beach''. However, as ''Paradise Beach'' flopped and was axed in Australia, Sky moved ''E Street'' back to its former weeknight timeslot in the half hour format. About 6 months before the final episode, Sky then moved ''E Street'' to 7pm (and dropped the afternoon repeat) where it concluded on Tuesday, February 28th 1995.
During a hardhitting storyline involving extreme character Sonny Bennett (Richard Huggett), he kills three characters in a shocking car-bomb explosion (Episode 171). In the UK, where ''E Street'' aired in an earlier timeslot, the episode was shown in March 1993 and was preceded by a warning to viewers that the episode contained scenes that some may find upsetting. The 12.30pm repeat the following day was dropped entirely and replaced by ''The Simpsons''.

1989 season

When E Street launched, it was considered a serious, 'issue' led drama about a local community. During the first episodes, a new lawyer, Sarah McKillop (Katrina Sedgewick) arrived in Westside and early storylines revolved around her settling into the new community with the help of hip vicar Bob Brown (Tony Martin) whilst clashing with local GP Elly Fielding (Penny Cook). We also meet Constable Paul Berry (Warren Jones) who had also recently moved to Westside with his newlywed wife Rhonda (Melanie Salomon) and she quickly establishes herself as Elly's secretary at the Surgery.
Despite a promising start, 6 months in, viewers began to yawn and the producers decided to immediately revamp the show. Rhonda Berry was shockingly disposed of during an armed robbery and her shooting was witnessed by her husband Paul. By Episode 45, Lisa Bennett's (Alyssa-Jane Cook) stepfather Sam Bulmer (Serge Lazareff) had raped and strangled newcomer Sarah McKillop, and these events shocked viewers who had seen nothing like this kind of action in E Street before - and yet it was the shape of things to come. Sky never transmitted these episodes of E Street.
With new titles and racier storylines, new characters joined the soap towards the end of 1989; PC Max Simmons (Bruce Samazan), Stanley "Wheels" Kovak (Marcus Graham), Alice Sullivan (Marianne Howard), Harley Brown (Malcolm Kennard), Daniel Windsor (Chris Orchard) and his entire family including Toni Windsor (Toni Pearen) all made their debuts, and further additions to the younger and hipper cast were made in early 1990.
With all the changes made to the cast and look of the soap, as 1989's cliffhanger approached, things were looking decidedly more interesting in Westside. One story arc that lasted throughout the year was the 'relationship' between Bob and Elly. The 'will-they-or-won't-they' premise lasted for most of the soap's run, although the 1989 cliffhanger ended with dashing airline pilot Daniel Windsor (Chris Orchard) asking Elly to marry him. Meanwhile, new character Harley Brown (Malcolm Kennard) was caught in a blaze at his Mother's house leading to a dramatic rescue by Reverend Bob in the first episode of 1990.

1990 season

The year began with Elly and Daniel engaged although it wasn't to last with the addition of the soaps latest seductress Jennifer St James (Virginia Hey). She and Daniel had an affair which rapidly ended Elly's engagement and he fled Westside leaving just his daughter, Toni, behind. Soon Elly's ex husband David (Noel Hodda) became a main character and there was much bickering as the couple squabbled over their young and beguiling daughter Clare (Brooke Anderson).
Meanwhile, further cast additions led to the Patchett family radidly growing and teenager Chris Patchett found love with depressive single-mother Megan Bromley (Lisbeth Kennally) and the two young lovers quickly married. Meanwhile, his father, Ernie Patchett gained an all-singing, all-American fiance, Abbey Rossiter (Chelsea Brown). Even Auntie Vi (Bunney Brooke) popped in to help behind the bar at Patchett's Pacific. Harley and Toni's relationship continued to flourish despite Toni being abducted by a Religious Cult and the shocking discovery that Harley was in fact Reverend Bob's illigitimate son. PC Paul Berry who had finished grieving for his murdered wife found new love with new and out spoken Journalist Kim Talbot (Rebecca Saunders). George Sullivan (Leslie Dayman) and Martha O'Dare (Cecily Polson) had their spare room filled with the arrival of tearaway teenager Nikki Spencer (Melissa Tkautz) and even with all these changes ratings remained disappointing. Therefore, another cast overhaul was imminent.
In came Lisa Bennett's insane and vengeful brother Sonny Bennett (Richard Huggett) with a vendetta to settle against the residents of Westside. It was here that E Street became much darker and unpredictable and ratings began to rise. As the storyline unfolded it was clear that with this new character, anything was possible and viewers were left shocked when he shot Kim Talbot at point blank range because of her reluctance to have a relationship with him. Next, Sonny planted a bomb in Reverend Bob's car intending to kill him. As the residents gathered at Patchett's Pacific to celebrate Abby's permanent Australian visa, many characters were seen driving the doomed car and viewers were left wondering just who exactly was going to die. As the party at Patchett's got into full swing, Chris, Megan and Abby left the party to view a plot of land Abby had bought to build a new pub for Ernie. As they sat in the car discussing Ernie's surprise, the bomb exploded and all three were killed instantly. The final installment of Sonny's reign of terror was Elly being blasted in the head in a gun rigged by Sonny to kill Bob. Elly ended up in intensive care and the 1990 season cliffhanger involved her full recovery and returning to Westside after the ordeal. Sonny, meanwhile, committed suicide and leapt to death from scaffolding. These shocking episodes rocketed the soap to the top of the ratings in Australia, while in the UK, E Street had become one of Sky One's top rating programmes.

1991 season

As the third season of E Street began, there were several new characters to replace the ones who had been written out the year before. Sheridan Sturgess (Kate Raison) arrived to revive Westside's Television station and before long, she had been joined by her brother Michael Sturgess (Graham Harvey) who began dating Lisa. Following the shooting ordeal, Elly departed E Street and her friend Virginia Travis (Julieanne Newbould) arrived to take over the medical centre. In reality, actress Penny Cook had decided to leave her role as Elly. Another departure at this point was original cast member Warren Jones who left his role as Paul Berry after 2 and half years and having witnessed not one, but two partners (Rhonda and Kim) get shot but deranged gunmen.
Following the success of the Sonny Bennett storylines, the producers drafted in another phsychotic murderer - this time in the shape of Karate teacher Steven Richardson (Vince Martin) - to kill off a few more cast members and make E Street absolutely unmissable. Indeed, with the addition of Steven Richardson, the soap became even more stratospheric and outlandish. Sheridan began having nightmares about a mysterious killer called 'Mr Bad' who painted half of his face black and the other half silver. Her nightmares involved the killing of a young girl and this included a bizarre psychic link she has to Steven where Sheridan's thoughts start to be controlled by him.
As the convoluted plot premise grew, so did the audience figures and many viewers were shocked when Steven strangled Dr Virginia Travis and buried her in woodland. However, as the dark and sinister Mr Bad storyline continued, E Street kept up its wacky pop culture spin by incorporating music video's into proceedings, and this was mainly a shameless way of promoting groups such as the Teen Queens and Radio Freedom who were signed to Westside Records, a new record label formed by the producer's of E Street. Furthermore, Melissa Tkautz who played Nikki was allowed to leave the series after her singing career took-off thanks to her role in E Street. (She returned a year later.)
More death occurred when newlywed Michael Sturgess, who had just married Lisa Bennett, began to notice the strange hold Steven Richardson had over his sister. He was throttled and buried next to Virginia in remote woodland, presumed dead. The storyline was taken to the limits with Michael, who had actually been buried alive, suddenly rose out of his shallow grave and began making his way back to Eden Street to warn everyone about Steven. However, just as the viewers thought the Mr Bad storyline might be nearing its climax, Michael was duly flattened by an artic lorry whilst crossing a road.
More cast additions included Mary Patchett (Joan Sydney) who arrived to take over the running of Patchett's Pacific following the departures of Ernie (Vic Rooney) and Auntie Vi (Bunney Brooke). Marcus Graham made a welcome return as Wheels, although during this stint, Wheels is no longer in a wheelchair and fully upright again, and anarchic C.J (Adrian Lee) also came on board during the 1991 season and began dating Toni following the departure of Harley through a cocaine overdose. Another big change to occur during late 1991 was the return of Elly, but this time played by Diane Craig. A problematic recast actually worked well and Craig's portrayal of Elly was as popular with viewers as Penny Cook had been.

1992 season

As 1991 had been the best year for E Street in terms of viewing figures and audience share, unfortunately, the soap had all but exhausted itself due to 2 years of explosions, death and destruction. As 1992 got underway, several popular cast members departed, including Vince Martin as Steven Richardson and his murderous alter-ego Mr Bad. Martin had apparently become tired of his characters serial killer storyline and asked the writers to explore Mr Bad's background to help viewers understand his homicidal tendencies. His request was not adhered too and Martin quit with his character having his face blown off by a terrified Sheriden. Unfortunately, the producers weren't keen to lose the Mr Bad character, so it was re-cast with Olav Evensen taking over the role, his face conveniently covered in bandages following the shooting.
Lying silent in his hospital bed, the critically ill Mr Bad started to telepathically take over the thoughts of his devoted Nurse Amy Preston (Rebecca Rigg). Soon Amy was murdering more characters on Steven's behalf, but the storyline was stretched to breaking point and eventually ended in the death of the Mr Bad by drowning. Viewers sighed with delight.
Following the resolution of the Mr Bad epic tale, E Street seemingly returned to its roots with a raft of new, relatively 'normal' characters brought on board. Alice Sullivan had departed so she was replaced by Penny O'Brien (Josephine Mitchell) who was basically a replica of the character she replaced. Kelley Abbey resumed the role she created in 1989 and came back as chirpy rock-chick JoJo, sharing a bedsit with mute character Joey Valentine (who, it turned out, could speak, but only through a radio mic!). Viewers also saw the welcome return of Ernie Patchett (Vic Rooney) who came back from his European trip (with a beard!) and took over Patchett's Pacific again. He was soon joined by a new love interest, Sally McKinnon (Joanna Lockwood). And finally, a new lawyer joined the cast, Jamie Newman (Scott McRae) who began dating JoJo in a 'opposites attract' style romance and he also set about reopening E Street's legal centre, mirroring the series' earlier episodes with Sarah McKillop. Original Cast Member Brooke Anderson was written out of the series at this point, shortly followed by Alyssa-Jane Cook quitting her role as Lisa Bennett and Toni Pearen also departed to launch her singing career.
The need to keep viewing figures healthy (it was widely reported Network 10 was in a financial rut and needed immense advertising revenue to survive) resulted in the writers drafting in yet another strong male character to shake up the cast - this time, they poached Andrew Williams from Network 10 stable-mate ''Neighbours'' and cast him as Bob Brown's whiskey-swilling, long-lost cowboy brother Jack. With him came another former-''Neighbours'' actress Antoinette Byron as photographer Laura Fielding. Rounding off the 1993 cast was the return of Melissa Tkautz, as well as Melissa Bell - yet ''another'' ex-''Neighbours'' star who came on board as hippy Bonnie Tate. Storylines were no less frenetic, however, and viewers then watched Tony Martin as Bob Brown depart in a totally stratospheric scene where he died on the alter of the community church and the spirit of the former parish vicar came down to greet him and send him on his way to heaven... Next up, Bruce Samazan's character Max turned into a werewolf and despite that scene actually being part of a dream-sequence, it has become folklore that this was the moment ''E Street'' jumped the shark and the end was in sight.
As Jack's initial episodes went to air, behind the scenes, Forest Redlich clashed with Network 10 over the direction of the show. It was reported that Ten intended on axing ''Neighbours'' and moving Sydney-based ''E Street'' to Melbourne. Furthermore, instead of two hour-long episodes, ''E Street'' was to be stripped Monday to Friday in half-hour editions with no extra budget to fill the extra half an hour airtime required. Furious with these radical changes, Forrest Redlich ended his creation there and then.

1993 season

The final episodes of ''E Street'' were markedly low-key given what had been broadcast over the previous 3 years. Popular characer Alice Sullivan, played by Marianne Howard, returned for the final stretch, and although there were reports of the entire cast being blown up in Patchett's Pacific in the final 2 episodes, it was actually a fire that ripped through the Pub, trapping many of the remaining cast. Bonnie Tate, out for the day with Max and Alice on a fishing trip collapsed as the credits rolled at the end of the penultimate episode. But, in keeping with ''E Street''s traditional of surprising viewers, the opening scenes of the final episode saw Jo-Jo running a cafe in what used to be her bedsit. Scene by scene, all of the characters the viewers thought may have died in the Patchett's Pacific fire appeared on screen and it is apparently 7 weeks later. Ernie is in a wheelchair, Laura is blind, Elly had been visiting Claire in America and Bonnie is in a coma. In the final scene of ''E Street'', all the characters surround Bonnie Tate's hospital bed, who has spent the missing 7 weeks in a coma, and Max blames himself. One by one, each character reads a line of poem from Bob Brown's prayer book and Max looks up and asks Bob to help Bonnie. Touchingly, Bonnie wakes up, looks up and says "Max!"... The screen faded to black, and we rewind nearly 5 years for a montage of E Street's finest characters and moments, with the final scene showing Elly tearfully laying a single red rose on Bob's grave, finally marking the end of one of Australia's most remembered soap operas.

Theme and Titles

The original episodes of ''E Street'' had a lengthy opening title sequence made up of clips from the pilot and first episodes and was accompanied by a slow, jazzy theme tune. However, when the series relaunched 6 months later at Episode 41, the entire sequence, including the ''E Street'' logo, was replaced by a specially compiled montage of the contract cast, cleverly linked together with a paint-brush wipe effect. Episode 51 introduced a more upbeat and funky theme tune, replacing the previous soulless version. These changes perfectly encapsulated the new image the programme was trying to convey and attract a wider audience.
This design of opening titles and music lasted until Episode 133, featuring only minor alterations as characters came and went. From Episode 134, however, the opening title sequence was dropped and replaced with a re-cap of the previous episode, an ariel view of Eden Street with the ''E Street'' logo forming, followed by establishing shots of the area with writer and producer credits. This practice was common with Network Ten stable-mate ''Neighbours'', which similarly dropped its opening credits in 1991 in favour of a brief re-cap, brief titles accompanied by a short music sting. This opening to ''E Street'' remained until its final episodes, although ''Neighbours'' reinstated an opening sequence in 1993. More recently, ''Home and Away'' now frequently open episodes with a re-cap, brief title screen and 5 second music sting, much like ''E Street'' in the early 1990s.
The end title sequence remained unchanged, with credits rolling over an ariel shot of Westside during nighttime. The original theme for the closing credits was 2 minutes in duration, and was changed from Episode 41 to the updated version, an extended mix of the music now used for the opening titles.
On the original Australian credits, there were several sponsorship credits that were removed from UK broadcasts.

Reunion

On 20th August 2006, several cast members were reunited on the Australian TV series ''Where Are They Now'', broadcast on Seven Network.[1] The cast members that appeared on the programme were Marcus Graham (Wheels), Alyssa-Jane Cook (Lisa Bennett), Melissa Tkautz (Nikki Spencer), Bruce Samazan (Max Simmonds), Melissa Bell (Bonnie Tate) and Brooke Anderson (Claire Fielding). The studio guests were joined via a satellite link-up to Vince Martin who starred as the show's most memorable character, Mr Bad. The series also brought together former stars of earlier Australian soap '' in an episode transmitted on 17th September 2006.

DVD Release

In April 2007 the website edenstreet.net announced that an ''E Street'' box set would be released in August 2007. The box set will feature the story of Mr Bad and will be released by Umbrella Entertainment. Commentaries will be provided by Bruce Samazan (Max), Melissa Tkautz (Nikki) and executive producer Forrest Redlich.
