Lisa Hartman plays Jade, a former prostitute trying to get out of the profession. Jennifer Beals plays Perry, a young lawyer also escaping from her past (a slain fiancé police officer and a serious drinking problem). Drew Barrymore plays Lindsay, a would-be actress trying to get the right break. Tuesday Knight plays Joy, Lindsay's overweight, overprotective, two-faced, manipulative sister, who also serves as her agent. Jade is the owner of the beach house. In order to leave her profession as a high priced prostitute, she takes in roommates to help her pay the rent. The series ends with several unresolved cliffhangers. Jade discovers her stepfather Porter was working with her former client Hal (Robert Foxworth), and had been trying to kill her. After arguing with Lindsay upon discovering she was sleeping with Eric (Brian Bloom), Joy is struck by lightning. The final scene shows Perry being raped and beaten by Roger (Michael T. Weiss) in a stairwell.To Be DIScontinued! - The Hall of Unresolved TV Cliffhangers: 1990-95 International ending When the series was screened overseas, two scenes were added to the finale. One with Porter's men shooting Hal dead (and making it look like a suicide) after writing a confession blaming him for the murder of which Jade is accused, and another of Sgt. Muñoz breaking the news to Jade in bed that all charges against her had been dropped. This was followed by a montage of archive footage with a closing narration from Lisa Hartman to provide a perfunctory resolution for the characters. Jade married Muñoz and had a child, and Joy survived being struck by lightning and went back to Chicago to teach astrology at a local college. Lindsay became a world famous actress, while Perry had a breakdown after her rape and ended up institutionalised.Humphries Scott The Age of Melodramatic Miniseries: When Glamour Ruled on Television McFarland and Company 2023 9781476691626 Jefferson, North Carolina 172 Cast Main Drew Barrymore as Lindsay Rule, aspiring actress Jennifer Beals as Perry Quinn, criminal lawyer struggling with alcoholism Lisa Hartman Black as Jade O'Keefe, also known as Victoria "Vicki" Paige Tremont and Sandra Holmes, prostitute and owner of the beach house Brian Bloom as Eric Adler, aspiring filmmaker from an industry family Scott Bryce as Scott Sterling, television executive and former client of Jade's, who gets blackmailed by Joy Tuesday Knight as Joy Rule, Lindsay's manipulative sister and manager Ron Marquette as Sgt.

Impressed with her character's development and the numerous plot twists, Barrymore signed onto the series. According to executive producer Aaron Spelling, producers could not come to terms on license fees with CBS, though Lisa Hartman Black theorized that the premiere of Melrose Place on Fox two months prior was intentionally placed in the same timeslot as 2000 Malibu Road's timeslot on CBS. Spelling thus saw more upside — and fewer issues with Fox standards and practices — with Melrose Place than Malibu, and chose the former instead going forward.March 21, 1993 Sing no sad songs for Lisa Hartman Black https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=XuwwAAAAIBAJ&sjid=H-AFAAAAIBAJ&pg=2719,4213651&dq=2000-malibu-road&hl=en The Nevada Herald, Nevada, Missouri Episodes Joel Schumaker directed at least the first five of the series' episodes.
