Some people who used to watch the show on a regular basis may ask what ever happened to the crazy, magic filled daytime drama. The series was created by James E. Reilly, and produced by NBC Studios, it debuted on July 5, 1999. Passions’ last airdate on NBC was September 7, 2007, it then moved to DirecTV and began on September 17, 2007. Although, shortly after in December of 2007, DirecTV decided that they didn’t want to renew their contract for the series and couldn’t sell it to another company. The last episode of Passions aired on August 7, 2008.
Passions took place in a fictional New England town called Harmony. The many different, hard-to-follow storylines circle around a number of multi-racial families, the African American Russells, Caucasian Cranes and Bennetts, and half-Mexican half-Irish Lopez-Fitzgeralds — as well as the supernatural including town witch Tabitha Lenox.
The first time I watched this soap opera, I shook my head and quickly changed the channel, it is so out there and very farfetched compared to the rest of the soaps on TV. Even though soaps themselves tend to have crazy plot lines that are almost hard to follow, this one included witch craft. Then I got a little bit older and I got a kick out of watching the show and following the crazy plot lines. Watching this soap usually was my comedy for the day. I wouldn’t be the person to like rush home to watch it, but if I was home during the day I’d watch it also because there is nothing else on during the day time, but it was most definitely to most farfetched show along with some of the worst acting possibly on TV.
But for me, even the terrible acting doesn’t keep me away from watching these shows, in fact I think it’s the bad acting that continues to bring me back time after time. If Passions were to come back on the air I would probably still try and watch it whenever I could. Like I said in one of my earlier posts, soap operas let your mind wander and you know that they aren’t real so after they are over, you can snap back into your life and not have any issues, at least I can. Bye for now.
Passions is one of the few soaps I've ever seen. The first time I watched it, I found myself very confused because of the multiple stories in just the one episode. I didn't want to watch it because I was so confused, but my friend was watching it, so I had to. By the end of the show, I found myself very interested, wanting to know more. I have only seen a few more episodes since then, so I didn't become addicted.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that the storyline is so far-fetched, espeically the witch craft. That was really weird.
Passions was my favorite soap show ever!! I was so disappointed when they stopped airing the show, I know there was always crazy and unrealistic things happening but for some reason I watched it every day after school. When Timmy the doll was changed into a real boy, like how unrealistic but he was just so cute! My favorite couple was Luis and Sheridan and I was very upset when Sheridan was lost at sea and was found my Luis’ brother Antonio. Where she couldn’t remember anything in her past and ended up falling in love with her past lover’s brother. She ended up finding out who she really was and things got really messed up! I was really upset when I found out that Whitney and Chad ended up being brother and sister, they always made it seem like there was that possibility but I couldn’t believe that they ended up being that even after having a baby! Gross! I could go on and on about passions!
