The Bay (a.k.a. The Bay The Series) is a soap opera web series that premiered on September 15, 2010 at Blip.tv. Starring Mary Beth Evans as wealthy socialite Sara Garrett, the series was created by Gregori J. Martin. It is set in the posh seaside town of Bay City, where the privileged residents are entangled in one scandal, betrayal or love affair after the other.
The Bay was nominated for a Daytime Emmy in 2012 for Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Special Class Short Format Daytime, won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding New Approaches Drama Series in 2015, and a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Digital Daytime Drama Series in 2016. The series was nominated again in 2017.
Sara Garrett rules the social set of Bay City, where passions run high and every relationship is complicated.
Created by Martin, The Bay was announced in May 2010, with Tristan Rogers, Lilly Melgar, John Callahan and Sandra Robinson attached to star. Days later, We Love Soaps reported that Mary Beth Evans had been cast as the lead, Sara Garrett. Matthew Ashford was added in July as Steve Jensen, Sara's rapist and the father of her eldest child, Brian. By August 2010, Dylan Bruce had been cast as Brian, and Martha Madison as Sara's daughter Marly. Around the same time, Rogers' character was identified as Police Commissioner Lex Martin, who shares a past with Sara, and Melgar was noted to be playing Janice Ramos, Sara's fiery nemesis.
From the beginning, the series has featured many notable American soap opera actors in its regular and guest cast. In 2011, Evans and her character Sara made a crossover appearance on the web series Pretty.
Martin executive produces with Kristos Andrews, who also stars as Sara's son, Peter Garrett.
Premiering at Blip.tv on September 15, 2010, the first season included four "chapters" of four episodes each, as well as an eight-episode Summer Special 2011 called Far From The Bay. In February 2011, Jim Romanovich of Associated Television International announced plans to repackage the series into 30-minute episodes and pitch it to cable networks and key local TV stations.
