Passions Erupt Next Week on One Ocean View  8/8/06

OBSESSION, INFATUATION, TEMPTATION AND RAGE FUEL TWO COUPLES, AS PASSIONS ERUPT ON "ONE OCEAN VIEW," MONDAY, AUGUST 14

"Trouble in Paradise" - Sparks fly between John and Heather as their blossoming romance explodes with passion, and Anelka and Usman seem to be more than just a summer fling, on "One Ocean View," MONDAY, AUGUST 14 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

John shows all the signs of being smitten with the stunning Heather, but finds himself involved in his first lovers' quarrel when Heather angrily denounces him for his unwillingness to hold her hand in public.

But as one couple's relationship hits a wall, Anelka, the enticing new housemate, and Usman heat up when she takes control and invites him out on a date. Although at first he seems to hide his real, more subdued personality and feelings, Usman finally opens up to Anelka. However, he can't resist reverting to form and uses his signature move -ordering her meal for her - to establish his dominance. Still, Anelka is intrigued.

Heather patches things up with John, and they end the weekend with a romantic picnic, finished off with a steamy shower together. But the following weekend, a surprised and bewildered John becomes the target of Heather's wrath, as she accuses him of intentionally avoiding her during the week and being insensitive to her feelings. The housemates get an earful of this shocking emotional battle. Will the two kiss and make up?
