Pacific Palisades was an American soap opera that aired on Fox during prime time from April to July 1997. Produced by Aaron Spelling, the show was canceled after thirteen episodes despite a last-minute attempt to increase ratings by casting Joan Collins as Laura's mother.

The show was originally supposed to be a vehicle for Erika Eleniak.[1] She was due to play the Laura Sinclair role, but turned it down due to the racy scene where the character described as "an aggressive real estate agent" seduces a client to secure an offer. The scene was eventually toned down, with Eleniak still passing, and eventually Kimberley Davies was cast.
