Sure, she was kind of-sort of still involved with Jason, but how can anyone resist Kitsch when he says, ''I can't stop thinking about you.''

The Catholic priest (Richard Chamberlain) and his young charge (Rachel Ward) always had a too-close-for-comfort relationship. But it wasn't until she was all grown up and married to another man that they consummated their love beachside. When the miniseries aired in 1983, the story line ignited major controversy. But looking back, all we can think is, sinning is so sexy, no?
