A new television series hopes to rekindle old flames around the world, including in The Bahamas.
“The
series will follow people as they seek to get back in touch with former
flames and crushes to seize a second chance at love,” said Jen
Cipperly, who is casting for the project. “We’re looking for guys and
gals who still think about a certain someone but have lost touch and
would like to track them down and reconnect.”
Bahamas
film commissioner Craig Woods said the development company has invited
Bahamians who want to re-connect with lost loves to enlist the help of
their team.“If there is someone in the United States that Bahamians wish
to be reunited with, the show presents that opportunity,” Mr. Woods
