Forever on TV: reality soap opera that may never end
Forever Eden, which is due to begin this spring, will take a group of unmarried people on an open-ended detour from their lives, transplanting them in a luxury resort abroad and letting them get on with everything attractive, fun-loving single men and women might be expected to do when paid to spend the rest of their days on the beach or in bars.
"These people could be on the air for six months, a year or three years," Mike Darnell, Fox's head of alternative programming, told Variety magazine. "If you want to stay and you play your cards right, you could be on the air forever. It's the first real try at a reality soap opera."
