What happens

Peyton Place: The Next Generation is a 1985 American made-for-television drama film directed by Larry Elikann. The film premiered on NBC on May 13, 1985. The film is based on the 1964–1969 television series Peyton Place and the plot is set twenty years after the original series. The film contains many of the original cast members, and there were hopes of it inspiring a television series, but such a program was never made. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
