Vita lögner (White lies) is a Swedish soap opera that aired on TV3, (1997–2002). The plot focused on the social life of the hospital staff and families in the fictional town of Strömsvik. Vita lögner was TV3's first big soap opera hit after Kanal5 bought Vänner och fiender from them in 1997. Many big stars in Sweden have done roles in the show, among them Alexander Skarsgård, Petra Hultgren, Anna Järphammar, Maud Adams and Per Morberg. Charlotte Perrelli (then Nilsson) had a bigger role as Milla Svensson during 1997-1998. It was after Kanal5 bought the rights to Vänner och fiender and TV3 saw what a huge success the show was for the channel that they decided to produce Vita lögner to compete over the same time slot. DVD Scanbox has suggested that the series will be released on DVD. When the original material, however, was found to be of poor technical quality, the proposal had been put on hold until further notice. Later Scanbox chose not to issue the series.
