Hope Island is a true family show presenting intelligent, well written, entertaining stories that can be enjoyed by all members of the family. Set in the Pacific Northwest, the series tells the story of Hope Island's 1,998 residents as seen through the eyes of the newly arrived minister Daniel Cooper. Newly called to the congregation, Daniel finds the open hearted but quirky Islanders to be a challenge as he works with them to build a church while defining his own values and identity as shepherd of the flock.
Hope Island's large ensemble cast includes Cameron Daddo as the newest Island resident Daniel Cooper. Suki Kaiser portrays local inn-keeper Alex Stone and Max Peters her son Dylan. Alex and Dylan become pivotal characters in Daniel's quest to build not only a new life in the ministry, but also to find the type of personal relationship he has been seeking. Brian Brewster (Duncan Fraser) is the town's larger than life mayor who always has some scheme in hand to "improve" Hope Island. His daughter Molly (Allison Hossack) and her fiance Kevin Mitchum (David Lewis) who is Hope's only policeman, face both professional and personal challenges as they build their new life together. Callie Pender (Veena Sood) as the owner and sole proprietor of Hope's only newspaper provides commentary and catalyst as she moves through the community observing and reporting on the town's activities. Haig Sutherland portrays Nub Flanders, a seemingly retiring, but endlessly surprising young man who reaches the hearts of all on the Island.
Hope Island's stories mirror the issues families face every day - negative influences, elder care, end of life, greed and doing the right thing when it is easier not to. It's depictions of community, loyalty and faith serve as backdrops as characters discover their own shortcomings, strengths and beliefs.
Hope Island was based on the long-running international hit "Ballykissangel".
