Secrets of Midland Heights

1980 · 1 season · 1h per episode · Soap

A short-lived nighttime soap for a teen demographic, it featured romantic triangles and secrets among the youth and their parents who populate a fictional midwestern college town called Midland Heights. Resembling a dark, 1980s-style Peyton Place, the plot dealt in both hidden secrets and scandalous affairs. Lisa Rogers carried on with college jock Burt Carroll while also seeing fraternity jerk Mark; good girl heiress Ann Dulles secretly dated high school dropout John; Holly Wheeler wanted to lose her virginity to her boyfriend Teddy Welsh, but the teens were shocked to discover her mother Dorothy was having an affair with Teddy's father Nathan.
