What's the Story?

In NORTH SHORE, a mega-mogul dad tries to keep only lovely daughter (Nicole) away from the good and hunky hero (Jason) who is set to inherit the throne of mean Daddy's rival hotelier. The cast also includes a back-stabbing jealous rival (Tessa), a sweet waitress (MJ), her psycho stalker ex boyfriend, and of course the understanding doll of a bartender named Frankie.

Is It Any Good?

Parents say Not yet rated
Kids say (1):

This is not a kids' show but an adult soap opera that must be sponsored by the alcoholic beverage association. There isn't a single scene where people aren't in bed or on a surf board that doesn't include alcohol. There is also a good dea of corporate intrigue, fist fights, sex and bikini-clad beach scenes.
