Fans of the Canadian-made soap opera Strange Paradise knew Colin Fox best in a dual role as Jean Paul Desmond and his ancient ancestor Jacques Eloi Des Mondes.

With the CBC and American broadcasters Metromedia and Kaiser Broadcasting handling distribution and co-production, the series was produced in Ottawa at CTV affiliate CJOH-TV and aired for 39 weeks, presenting three separate 13-week story arcs.
