Latremenoi Mou Geitones (Greek: Λατρεμένοι μου Γείτονες) or My Beloved Neighbours is a Greek TV serial written by Panos Amarantidis, directed by Pierros Andrakakos, created by Studio ATA and broadcast on Mega Channel starting in 2007 with additional episodes in 2008.

Contents

The series is based on a Spanish production, Mis Adorables Vecinos.

The series revolves around the lives of two families. The Moustoxidis family is from a poor neighbourhood and working class, however their young daughter, Betty, wins a reality singing show (much like Pop Idol) and ends up a superstar with the family becoming very rich. They move in next door to the Papapavlos family who are sophisticated Athenians.

At the heart of the story is the on-off relationship between Aris Moustoxidis (Dimitris Vlachos) and Lisa Papapavlou (Smaragda Kalimoukou).

The Moustoxidis Family

  • Babis (Kostas Koklas) was a greengrocer; he's now so rich he doesn't have to work but has problems coming to terms with doing nothing all day. He argues loudly with his wife but they are always in love and have a healthy relationship.
  • Pelagia (Ava Galanopoulou) worked in a hairdresser.
  • Aris (Dimitris Vlachos) is the heartthrob of the series. He has an on-off relationship with Lisa from the next door and makes friends easily at his new school including a romantic interlude with different girls. However he sometimes goes too far (notably annoying his English teacher (Sean James Sutton) and causing problems in class).
  • Zambeta (Efi Papatheodorou) is the Pelagia's mother who lives with them.
  • Ioulia (Eleni Tzortzi) is the maid of the family.
  • Betty (Nefeli Kanaki) is the cause of all the wealth.
  • Mihalis (Dimitris Daoulis) is the son of the family.

    • The Papapavlou Family

  • Vyronas (Yiorgos Konstadis) is a plastic surgeon with a cash strapped surgery. He is the main butt of the jokes and often gets frustrated by the actions of his new neighbours.
  • Miranda (Arietta Moutousi)is more sympathetic to their new neighbours and tries, in her subtle way, to help them (especially Pelagia) fit in with the sophisticated Northern Athens suburb life.
  • Lisa (Smaragda Kalimoukou) has accepted the family but is frustrated by Aris and their on-off relationship.
  • Milica (Anna Dimitrijevic) is the maid.
  • Nefeli (Vasiliki Kara is the small daughter of the family.
  • Konstantinos (Kostantinos Lagos) the son of the family.

    • Focus

    Although there are occasional glimpses of the underlying tensions involved with class and behaviour, upbringing and status, the series generally focuses on the obvious for its humour, for example the way in which Pelagia dresses and behaves betrays her origins and often the upper-class locals look down on her ways.

    Ratings

    The first season averaged a 35% rating and the second, with a lot of changes (writer, cast etc.), 22%.
