Bahamian TV Soap Opera Premiers Summer 2012 – The First of Its Kind

Drama. Romance. Suspense. Humor. Action. It’s all here! Marble Head Films and 12:01 Studios want to make history. They want to do something no one else has done in The Bahamas and they want to do it well. That’s where Gippie’s Kingdom, the Bahamian evening TV soap opera comes in.

This 8 part series tells the story of three generations of the Gibson family. Life experiences and social issues, common to all Bahamians, are explored in each episode: "sweethearting" and illegitimate children, juvenile delinquency, crime and justice, domestic violence, Haitian/Bahamian conflict, and most of all, the power of love.

This soap opera takes will take the viewer to the classroom, the bedroom, the living room and the courtroom. We hear the wisdom of the pulpit and the wisdom of the domino table. And right at the centre of it all is a middle age widower who is having the most challenging weeks and months of his life: Everett Harrison Gibson, "Gippie".
