It has become a commuter town, serving the City of London through its direct connection to Liverpool Street through the Southend Victoria line, where a train to London takes approximately 40 minutes. The town can also be easily reached via the road network by the A127 from London and Southend-on-Sea or the A130 from Chelmsford.

There is also a swimming pool, a library, an open-air market and a community centre within the vicinity of the town centre.

One by one, their secrets unfold in this television movie based on the bestseller by Danielle Steel.
Keywords: based-on-novel, soapIt's the sound of my ego spinning out of control
Sounds in my head that might never come out
Stuck in my head, and forever reverberate
How do you pluck them out?
These are the stories that will never unfold
All of the characters cast in stone
Years surely weathered them, I don't remember them
They've all faded away
I'm a child, I'm a baby
I can change my mind like any other genius
This is genius, this is genuine, this is bullshit

Suppressing the violent side
That ego can override
As a child, as a baby
As a phenom, as a meteorite
Burned out in the galaxy
Where the parking lots are oh so bright
