Can you believe it's been 19 years since Outrageous Fortune first aired?! (19 years, 3 months, 23 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did Outrageous Fortune end?
When Outrageous Fortune came to an end after 6 years in November 2010, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Loretta West (Antonia Prebble), Van West / Jethro West (Antony Starr), Cheryl West (Robyn Malcolm) and Pascalle West (Siobhan Marshall). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would an Outrageous Fortune reunion disappoint people?
Outrageous Fortune aired from 2005-2010 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Malcolm said she's not sure if Outrageous Fortune would work today. “I don't want to see old Cheryl West,” she told a journalist (Malcolm turned 59 in March). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” she added.
Still hoping for an Outrageous Fortune movie?
In a recent interview, Siobhan Marshall said she can't imagine an Outrageous Fortune reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
Co-star Grant Bowler (who played Wolfgang West between 2005 and 2009) has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did an Outrageous Fortune movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be an Outrageous Fortune film, Antonia Prebble stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about an Outrageous Fortune reboot?
Recasting Outrageous Fortune for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of an Outrageous Fortune reunion, an Outrageous Fortune movie, or an Outrageous Fortune reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
