Years later, the show’s biggest stars said the “Baywatch” plot “really wasn’t that good.”

“Baywatch” starred David Hasselhoff, Pamela Anderson, Jeremy Jackson, Alexandra Paul, Carmen Electra, Yasmine Bleeth, David Charvet, Nicole Eggert and more. The show ran from 1989 to 2001 and at its peak drew 1.2 billion viewers per week. Eggert, who played Summer Quinn, teamed up with her former cast to reflect on the TV series in the docuseries “Baywatch: Moment in the Sun.”

Nearly 35 years later, the cast can admit the storylines were a little absurd.

“The show really sucked,” Hasselhoff admitted in the docuseries, via People magazine. “But we made it right because we had passion.”

Kelly Slater, who played the role of young surfer Jimmy Slade, remembers filming an episode in which an octopus stole their surfboard and held them hostage.

“I found the story nonsensical in so many ways,” he said.

However, it seems that the ‘nonsense’ script actually benefited the series.

“We were the butt of jokes on ‘The Tonight Show With Jay Leno’ “We watched it all the time and every time he made a joke, our ratings went up,” explains co-creator Douglas Schwartz.

Despite the show’s success, the “Baywatch” actors weren’t paid much. Each star earned $3,500 per episode, Eggert said.

“I think ‘Friends’ was making a million dollars an episode at that point,” she said during the docuseries.

Erika Eleniak adds: “I remember being completely freaked out when I saw my first paycheck after taxes were taken out. How am I honestly going to live on this money?”

“There’s not a single rich actor in ‘Baywatch.’ Not one,” said Billy Warlock, who played Eddie Kramer for two seasons.

Eggert, who helmed the docuseries project “Baywatch,” gave fans an update on her battle with cancer during Monday’s premiere.

“I’m good,” Eggert said People magazine on the red carpet. “I’m kind of in a gray area and I’ve finished my treatment, waiting for more imaging and hopefully maybe surgery.”

“And there’s a lot of waiting in this and it’s something that I didn’t really realize and no one really talks about,” she explained. “But the gray area is the hardest because you don’t know what’s going on, and you’re just, if I do the treatment, I feel like I’m doing something productive.”

Eggert was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer in 2023.
