Carlton Heights "On The Air"

After all this time of talking about it, my soap opera Carlton Heights is finally online for everyone (yep that includes you) to read! We are premiering today with our pilot episode titled "I Know There's Something Going On" and for 13 full episodes you'll get to follow the lives and lies of the residents of Carlton Heights including those fun loving cul-de-sac dwellers of Avenue Sea.

The scripts will all be available online at our official website in a pdf (Adobe) file where you can download, print or read them online. So please join the happy (and not so happy) residents of Carlton Heights and a new episode will be uploaded every week until the thrilling season finale!

Here is our series synopsis:
Welcome to Carlton Heights, the ongoing script serial set in a small coastal town where the main residents are married gay men with the typical problems of every soap icon including infidelity, dark secrets, over sexed sluts living next door and one raving old homophobe lunatic who wishes they would all leave her town.

A hybrid of Desperate Housewives, Queer As Folk and Knots Landing, writer Bradley Jacobson's saga begins when Dylan and Scott Irving arrive in the small coastal town of Carlton Heights where the drama and humor are wrapped up into one tidy little sudser. The Irvings new neighbors on their friendly cul-de-sac include Larry and Zimmy Bustamante, the happy couple with newborn twins, the Mitchells - sarcastic and unhappy Marty and his sleazy husband Ronald who happens to be Scott's new boss. Then there's sexy and very single Aidan Palmer - whose oversexed shenanigans involve both Marty and Larry's husbands.

But there's more than typical suburban drama for up on the hillside standing over her town is Ruth Carlton, Aidan's homophobic, foul mouthed grandmother. To help aid, abed and deceive her is Haley Osbourne - Ruth's nursemaid and the singer at Marty's coffee shop.

As Dylan begins to mix with the residents it becomes clear that everyone has something to hide - from the origin of the adopted Bustamante twins and Larry's obsession with creating the perfect image to Marty's disintegrating marriage and Aidan's strained relationship with his grandmother. Dylan begins a quest to expose everyone but the biggest secret of the town may be one he doesn't want to know.

So once again, to all my fans, friends and the curious, Carlton Heights is now online! You can also join our My Space group where you can dish and comment about the scripts.

Prude Alert - Because I knew this show would never be considered major network programming, it is geared to an HBO/Showtime type of series with adult language and sexual content which may not be suitable for the faint of heart, prudish or all around tight assed.
