Michael Fairman reports that PASSIONS is coming to Universal Studios Hollywood with a red carpet screening of the reunion documentary. How cool for PSNS fans in the LA area: https://michaelfairmantv.com/passions-reunion-documentary-to-screen-at-universal-studios-for-one-night-only/2020/01/14/

I’m a fan of the show but the first few episodes this season were weak in my opinion. I imagine some things beyond Fred’s death had to be rewritten due to Luke Perry’s death.

Great news for Brook Kerr. She’ll be on Hawaii Five-0 soon. Also looking forward to seeing her in the new Lifetime movie that Lindsay Hartley is directing! This is also a great time for Brook as well because her son is also starring in Grand Hotel on ABC. Is it me, or does she look exactly the same as the very first episode of Passions, literally hasn’t aged lol

Reports are saying the premiere of the new season will be a tribute to Luke Perry/Fred Andrews. Roberto Aguirre Sacasa shared an image from the episode on social media. I’m looking forward to the season.

Chrystee Pharris posted behind the scenes pictures and videos of the upcoming Passions documentary on social media. and Angie Thomas has also been posting pictures as well. I must admit my inner 10 year old self is excited to see this documentary. I used to run home from school to watch this so it’s exciting to see everyone reunite.

NYT Bestselling Author, Angie Thomas, will help executive produce the Passions documentary. She was a Passions fan and here’s her interview promoting it for anyone that wants to read: https://soaps.sheknows.com/soaps/news/544486/interview-angie-thomas-passions-20th-anniversary-documentary/?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=editorial&utm_content=2429992452

I’ve been keeping up to date with their twitter page @passions20th, you know the soap blogs don’t cover anything Passions related lol Its honestly sad, despite a great turn out at the Passions fan event 2 years ago many people mentioned on social media they didn’t know it was even happening or else they would’ve went but PSNS has always been treated as the red-headed stepchild of soaps 🤷♂️

Wasn’t Darrell Ray Thomas an associate head writer with Marlene McPhereson on Passions before they head wrote DAYS? I see he is listed as an executive producer for the documentary and will be interviewed in it, he’s probably the closest we’ll get to what really was going on with Jim and what he intended for PSNS.

Hopefully some of this will be explained in the documentary the cast is releasing this fall. I hope they don’t take the PC route and not want to talk about the things that weren’t so great behind the scenes. Chrystee Pharris and Jade Harlow were both very open and pretty candid for the most part in that podcast they did about the casting changes and why they left as Simone and Jessica. Honestly, what Chrystee was saying about the younger cast feeling more at ease brought questions to my mind about how Lena Cardwell was on set. All that said, the PSNS cast seems like for the most part, the type that will only say the good things to not offend anyone and I doubt we will get the full story. But who knows, I’m still definitely watching this documentary.

I think the takeaway from all of this is that while Passions still ruffles a few feathers with those in the daytime community and long time soap watchers for not being their cup of tea, those 12-17 year olds that watched the show and were die hard fans are now older today and keep the show alive by attending fan festivals and supporting things like the upcoming 20th anniversary documentary for the show. The cast said it best themselves during the fan festival 2 years ago, that if a fan approaches them they can tell by their age if they recognize them from Passions or another soap they’ve done. They found a corner in the genre to attract, those 12-17 year olds (today they are 32-37) and like it or not I think while not a major impact like some shows, it gave itself a pretty good dent in pop culture history and will be remembered certainly more than some soaps that have been forgotten over the years. Passions had a small but very loyal fan base and it still shows today.

Just finished binging the rest of the episodes of season 3, I think as per usual I’m in the minority but I enjoyed this season a lot.

I’m still behind because of work but now that it’s on Netflix I’ve been binging and so far I’m liking it. Made it to the 80s episode where the kids are playing the parents and LOVE it! Not sure how far off the rails it will get but the introduction of the supernatural aspects gives me Passions vibes and I’m enjoying it so far.
