Ed Earl and Miss Mona had a one-night stand (which the sheriff has forgotten) fifteen years earlier. Their relationship brings about not only the (added) accusatory scene, when the sheriff—disappointed that Mona has broken her promise (likewise added) to close the Chicken Ranch down long enough for things to cool off—calls her a whore, but also the happy ending at the very end, when he proposes marriage to Mona (which she accepts), even though that might endanger his chances to be elected as a state legislator (he is elected anyway).

The action centers around Truvy's beauty parlor and some women who regularly gather there. The drama begins on the morning of Shelby's wedding to Jackson and covers events over the next three years, including Shelby's decision to have a child despite having Type 1 diabetes and the complications that result from the decision. We also get a glimpse of the unlikely friendship between Clairee and Ouiser; Annelle's transformation from a shy, anxious newcomer in town, to a partying woman, then to a religious fundamentalist; and Truvy's relationships with the men in her family. Although the main storyline involves Shelby, her mother, and Shelby's medical battles, the underlying group-friendship among all six women is prominent throughout the drama.


Cast Includes:

Sharleen Lagattuta as Annelle
Kristi Scott as Truvy
Marianne Vasquez as Ouiser
Jeanette Rucci as Miss Clairee
Kelly Schroeder as M'Lynn
Lehua Simon as Shelby
