In “Don Juan’s Last Affair” two good friends who share a platonic relationship come to the Island in search of true love - with other partners. And in “The Final Adieu” a high-powered career woman wishes to end a long relationship she has had with a married man.
This long-running (7 season) series was one of the ABC Network’s anthology/guest-cast series (along with The Love Boat) that proved wildly popular. Each week two guests came to “Fantasy Island” to get their wish/fantasy fulfilled. Their mysterious host, the debonair and suave white-suited Mr. Roarke, would do the sometimes impossible and grant them their wishes…but there was always some twist to the fantasy, letting the guest learn something about themselves or get something they weren’t expecting. Best remembered for the presence of Herve Villechaize as the diminuitive “Tattoo” and his cry of “De plane! De plane!” the show proved popular enough to go the distance and then spawn a brief revival/remake in the 1990s. Read more about the series in Wikipedia.
