Problem with stories content
jedfrog15 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
This episode was done in the original one step beyond with a completely different ending. So which is the truth ? Was she murdered by her husband as in the original or was it an accident as in the remake????????

In the original she was a woman with a southern accent as a bride and no trace of an accent as the woman who was dead. In the remake she had no accent and was not a newlywed. The dead woman spoke in a Spanish accent !!!!

An explanation would be interesting from someone still alive from the remake era.

This quandary puts a bit of a question on the authenticity of the stories told!!!!

One of the better episodes of the Next Step Beyond
woodusn26 August 2019
Possessed is written by One Step Beyond (and Next Step Beyond) creator Merwin Gerard and has elements of the original series. The characters all play their roles nicely and bring the aura of the One Step Beyond to the dismal new series. Many of the other episodes would receive a 4 star or lower rating.

Real life married couple Gene and Toni Bull Bua play Paul and Caroline Adams, yet another couple trying to rekindle their failing relationship (common premise in both series). After Caroline becomes possessed by the soul of a Hispanic woman, Paul, a Sheriff's Sergeant, and local Doctor try to figure out what has happened to her.

I can easily see this episode being produced in black and white with American or British actors with little changes in the script.
