A Family That Would Make Ole J.R. Ewing Proud

It's Not Southfork, But J.R. Ewing Would Be Proud

Their last name isn't Carrington or Ewing. In fact, they don’t actually have a last name; but they share many things in common with those legendary families of television’s most famous nighttime soaps.

The family members all reside in one house. It's not named Southfork, but it does have plenty of rooms. There's a big swimming pool alongside which most of the action takes place, including the occasional family fight.

The family usually has a big, engaged audience who loves to chat about their favorite star. Since they took up residence there have been births and deaths and some peculiar relationships that the family often hides.

The family members are much like you'd expect to find. It's not Miss Ellie and Jock that rule this family, but Malia and Pu. While they appear to be happy together it doesn't stop another younger female, Kalia, from trying to push Malia aside and take Pu for her own.

Kalia's mother, Remy, seems to have little control over her daughter; but who can blame her. Her mate, Oreo died shortly after their young son, Mana, age 3, was born. In fact, he died while feeding his son. Mana, though young, is always checking out the eligible females. His main competition appears to be Icarus, who was raised abroad apart from the family.

Unfortunately, the two most eligible females, Shaka and Betty, are involved with each other and show little interest in the males. Somewhat deluded, they hope to start their own family together.

Clearly this family's story has the makings of a successful TV drama, but, alas, you'll never see it on your TV. The only place you can catch this story in person is at the Penguin exhibit at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.
