Recommended Posts

Per Michael Logan from TV Guide Magazine

The long awaited truth finally comes out next week, when Sam walks in on Kay and hears her blurt out that Ivy hired David to break up Sam and Grace. Sam ends his engagement to Ivy and and Grace returns to Harmony for 6 episodes.

It really looks like JER will reveal all the major secrets in the next 2 months. I am in shock!

That's GREAT, don't get me wrong, but why should Grace only return for six episodes? Unless she's the character that dies...it makes no sense. She only ran off with David because her deep religious beliefs forced her to stick with her "first husband." I should think it would be out of character for her NOT to return to Sam and stay!

I can't help but be disappointed. I am happy this is coming out and this makes me think JER is serious about getting things going but we have waited 6 years for this to come out in such a lackluster way. kay just blurts it out? Where is the big grand climax JER usually gives for things like this? Kay did this same thing back in 2003 and no one beleived her so all of a sudden they buy into it now? Give me a break this seems like a rush job. I know Kim Ulrich is doing some other show along with Passions so I wonder if they are doing this to make her like Andrea Evans' Rebecca and cut down on her appearances. I know Evans is recurring but Kim has been off alot and has either been on 5-6 days straight or not at all (just like Rebecca so it makes me wonder ahout Kim's availbility. I also hate only having Grace for 6 shows. So she just pops into town, learns the truth, and leaves town? That isn't very in character so that adds more fuel to the fire in regards to her being the one to die.

I hope Eve is involved because she played a huge role but I doubt it. This is great it's happening but it all comes off as lackluster at best. All this time to see it simply blurted out and then hace Grace leave like right after. This reveal loses it's payoff value by the way this is happening and, if Grace dies, it makes things worse because it will be a feeling of why bother/ They let us go 6 years waiting for this so if Grace is only going to be around for 6 shows to deal with this and then possibly die wha is the use? May as well have kept the secret hidden for good. I am sure it will entertaining but it just seems very rushed and there has been very little of the typical buildup Passions usually gives us like they currently are with Theresa and Gwen's secrets. It tells me the writers are just doing this to finally get it out of the way and to service other characters and that sucks.

I will watch and hope it comes off better then it does but I am not as happy as I should be about it. Great that secrets are coming out but the way it seems to be being executed stinks.

Where the hell is Grace storming in to stop the Savy wedding?!?! Where's all the stereotypical soap wedding crasher? That would have been perfect considering how long we've waited for this crap to be finished.

This endless wait threw away so many chances for huge moments. Before Aunt Irma, I was hoping for all the sh!t to hit the fan with Ivy being exposed in turn exposing Eve causing complete chaos in Harmony. That would be one month worth of standing around for the characters.

But at least Grace is coming back... that 6 episodes is kind of throwing me off though. What's with that? Grace can not die before the big battle with the dark side!

Thanks Rion,

JER must really have Big November sweeps planned :D I can't wait! With DAYS consistantly rising and PSNS getting three 1.6's this week, PSNS could potentially be back in the 1.8-2.0 range by Christmas :)

I agree, if what I read actually happens on PSNS things may be turning around. Now on long that will last is a different story. Its very possible for PSNS to get back around 2.0 as long as the stories actually move and new exciting ones start up. JER only has one soap, so there are no excuses this time around.

IA with the general happy-disappointed group. But I'm mostly disappointed, I think, because I stopped caring so long ago beyond summaries, spoilers and 5 minute bursts of show (can't take much more than that) I feel a bit cheated.

I don't care about Grace, though. For me the bigger fall-out was always about what it would do to Kay once people found out what she did. Course, that was back before I hated the Bennetts. Show-killers.

I used to think Passions could get back in that range but I have doubts. It all depends on whether people care anymore as alot of this took way too long to come out. Passions always does well for the holidays and it is possible to see big jumps at holiday time, much like all soaps, so it is possible but sustaining it is the key.

I hope Passions keeps moving stories along. I am hearing good things but I want to sustain the momentum (story and ratings-wise) for more then a month or so.

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
