Erotas (2005 - 2008)

Erotas is a critically acclaimed and popular Greek television soap opera revolving around the private lives of wealthy Athenian families, that aired on the ANT1 network from September 8, 2005 until May 30, 2008 in Greece and Australia. The series will continue for a final prequel season, placed before the timeline of the first three seasons on another network in the 2009-2010 television season. This will see the return of many of the original cast from the first season, and the departure of many newcomers, except for favourite Nadia, who is somehow being written into the flashback storylines. Antigoni, will not be returning, the writers thought it was time to give her character a rest, however she is expected to guest star at some point. The final five episodes of the series were the highest rating episodes of the series in its history, with over 4,250,000 watching, on average, in Greece. The series was also aired in Cyprus, United Kingdom, United States and Canada. Many critics commented that many of its plotlines were based loosely on those of The Bold and the Beautiful, however the pace of these storylines was much faster in Erotas than B&B.
