27 years after it first aired on Australian television, Sons and Daughters has another lease of life.
The format, now known as Forbidden Love, has been remade and screening in Bulgaria.
FremantleMedia, which owned the show when it was once knows as Grundy Television, has just won a second seson with Bulgarian broadcaster Nova TV.
It will run as 98×26′ episodes where it is known locally as Zabranena Lyubov. It has previously had territorial remakes as Verbotene Liebe (Germany, 1995- ); Skilda världar (Sweden, 1996-2002); Apagorevmeni agapi (Greece, 1998); Cuori Rubati (Italy, 2002-2003) Zabranjena ljubav (Croatia, 2004-2008)
Like the orginal series, Zabranena Lyubov revolves around two families – the affluent Konstantinovs and the low-income Belevs – who are linked together by siblings who are unaware of each other.
The original Seven series in Australia also located the two families in Sydney and Melbourne, to deliberately try to nab ratings in both cities.
Warning: language.

It would be great here on SBS one/two with subtitles or dubbed
they could never make iit as good as the original i have all 972 episodes on dvd i still watch both the wekly seven episodes and the seven two episodes
I wish SBS would buy the series!
I love Sons and Daughters – it’s a classic ‘s soap and one of the best due to its premise.
It’be great if there was a reunion movie made of it or a special looking back on the impact it had – anything to see Pat the Rat at her wicked best again!
That’s cool. It’s a classic story. I reckon they should remake the story as a mini series or movie for Australian audiences.
