Spring

Spring was a Flemish television soap made by Studio 100 for children's channel Ketnet. Six seasons were taped between 2002 and 2007 during the summer period. Storylines Season 1 Spring is a dance school run by Maggy Lejeune. She teaches a group of girls including Katrijn Van Asten, Evi De Bie and newcomer Chantal Goegebuer. They take a part in a dance contest; Katrijn and Chantal are competing as soloists. Spring also plays host to the namesake band; the original members are Evert Van Bellum on guitar, Pieter Van Asten on bass, Thomas Desmyter on drums, and Xavier Lejeune (Maggy's wisecracking brother) on keyboards. Xavier proves to be unreliable, and Evert insists that he leaves the band. He's replaced by Evert's cousin Jonas who's also a successful DJ. Things go wrong Katrijn meets her "dreamboy" Arne; they start a relationship, much to Evert's dismay because he's secretly in love with Katrijn. Arne appears to be a drug dealer with cruel intentions; Jonas, a busy man, becomes one of his clients. To add insult to injury, Jonas nearly breaks up the band because he starts dating Thomas' ex-girlfriend Evi. Thomas announces his departure on radio and also explains why. Al ends well, Arne is banned from Spring, Thomas rejoins the band in time for their record contract, and the girls win the contest on account of a shared solo by Katrijn and Chantal. Season 2 Season 2 sees Pieter having a relationship with Chantal while a notorious spray painter has come to town. Jonas and Thomas have left Spring; the former has moved to Ibiza to continue his DJ career, and the latter is too busy at his father's garage. Their replacements are, respectively, keyboard player Tina "Tien" Smolders, and drummer/policeman David Vercauteren. David begins a relationship with Katrijn; although initially disheartened, Evert wishes them the best. The band also get a new manager (Luc) who may help them to record a CD and a music video. After year of hard work, Evi hopes to become the soloist in the forthcoming video by the popular band Fusion. They only need to pass the audition. Xavier and his mate Axel Dewinne have formed the band Woefer. They share their manager with Spring, but the problem is Luc and the record company cannot afford to keep them both. Spring add a female vocalist to the lineup; they choose Evi over Chantal and Katrijn. Having split with Pieter, Chantal rebounds by pretending to be in love with Axel.
