Seven's weeknight soap has been going great guns, averaging more than a million viewers nationally, entrenching itself as a Top 20 program and giving the network a very solid platform on which to build a night's viewing. But even when things are chugging along nicely, there's nothing like a wedding to give those ratings a handy little boost.

Tonight the sweet, bespectacled Robbie (Jason Smith) proposes to the lovely Tasha (Isabel Lucas) and the happy couple decide to scoot straight past the engagement phase and into their wedding.

The beautiful barefoot bride arrives by boat, with flowers in her hair, and the waterfront ceremony has the traditional mix of laughter and happy tears from the assembled family and friends.

But hot on the heels of their first kiss as a married couple and a not-so-traditional bridal waltz comes an unscheduled hospital visit and some shocking news for the all-too-briefly blissful new bride.

Elvis Aaron Presley, in the humblest of circumstances, was born to Vernon and Gladys Presley in a two-room house in Tupelo, Mississippi on January 8, 1935. His twin brother, Jessie Garon, was stillborn, leaving Elvis to grow up as an only child. He and his parents moved to Memphis, Tennessee in 1948, and Elvis graduated from Humes High School there in 1953.

      Elvis’ musical influences were the pop and country music of the time, the gospel music he heard in church and at the all-night gospel sings he frequently attended, and the black R&B he absorbed on historic Beale Street as a Memphis teenager. In 1954, he began his singing career with the legendary Sun Records label in Memphis. In late 1955, his recording contract was sold to RCA Victor. By 1956, he was an international sensation. With a sound and style that uniquely combined his diverse musical influences and blurred and challenged the social and racial barriers of the time, he ushered in a whole new era of American music and popular culture.

     He starred in 33 successful films, made history with his television appearances and specials, and knew great acclaim through his many, often record-breaking, live concert performances on tour and in Las Vegas. Globally, he has sold over one billion records, more than any other artist. His American sales have earned him gold, platinum or multi-platinum awards for 150 different albums and singles, far more than any other artist. Among his many awards and accolades were 14 Grammy nominations (3 wins) from the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, which he received at age 36, and his being named One of the Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Nation for 1970 by the United States Jaycees. Without any of the special privileges his celebrity status might have afforded him, he honorably served his country in the U.S. Army.

     His talent, good looks, sensuality, charisma, and good humor endeared him to millions, as did the humility and human kindness he demonstrated throughout his life. Known the world over by his first name, he is regarded as one of the most important figures of twentieth century popular culture. Elvis died at his Memphis home, Graceland, on August 16, 1977.
