Pascal produced the SVH collection " after a buddy remarked to Pascal there was no teen model of 1980s cleansing soap "Dallas."" Teen reciters consumed it up. The prolonged SVH universe, which grew to contain hundreds of names featuring sequel prequel as well as sequel collection, inevitably marketed more than 200 million copies ( that has to do with 10x Colleen Hoover's total book purchases, for scale), inspired a 4-season television collection, and also arguably led the way for a generation-defining surge of teen home entertainment like Beverly Hillsides 90210 and Dawson's Creek.
