Is Passions being cancelled?

[JER Soaps Fan]

Attention ALL "Passions" and soap fans, you are cordially invited to join the newly formed "We're Not Going to Take It: Save 'PASSIONS' Brigade." Show NBC how displeased you are with the network's consideration to cancel the critically acclaimed daytime drama "Passions" to replace it with a fourth hour of the already bloated "Today" show. Feel free to use the official "We're Not Going to Take It" avatar, which proudly proclaims "Peacocks SUCK!" and the organization's official banner, "Boycott the Today show." Use these materials as your signature banner and avatar for all soap opera message boards and mainstream message boards that you frequent. Spread the word, and show NBC that we're NOT going to take it!

Thanks for your support of "Passions" and the daytime genre,

Joint Strike Fighter, founder, "We're Not Going to Take It: Save 'PASSIONS' Brigade."

gosh. anyone remember the AW campaigns? My fav was the Campaign to Save Another World...CSAW. Didn't they also have an Angels group! But yeah, its interesting since many fans picketed outside the Today show 8 years ago to save AW from PSNS. And now, The Today Show is doing in PSNS.

If "Passions" is canceled, I'm going to pray a rosary every day that the fourth hour of "Today" is an instant flop and the network NEVER finds an adequate replacement for that hour. No matter what they try, EVERYTHING will fail to get anything above a .7 rating. AND THEN they'll see the error of their ways and WISH they had "Passions'" 1.7 and incredible demos.

WITH GOD on my side, NBC, you stand only to LOSE, jerks!!!

[Mr. Brightside]

JSF,

I wish you luck. Seriously TODAY will BOMB! Most people don't even know about this and lets face it...the students who do watch PSNS (the 12-24 yr olds) sleep in during the first 3 hours of Today. And in the proposed fourth hour, they'll/we'll still be asleep!

[JER Soaps Fan]

Thanks for the luck.

And Mr. Brightside, NBC is just RIDICULOUS to think this UNPRECENTED fourth hour of the "Today" show will be successful. Why risk it? Why lose a sure thing (the audience of "Passions" -- which is a devoted one at that) for a RISK that will tick off two million viewers? NOT adding the fourth hour of "Today" will annoy virtually. NOBODY will care. But canceling Passions -- the sure thing -- WILL, WITH NO DOUBTS, tick off all its fans.

It's a BAD business decision.

Look at me. We're still in "likely rumor" stage and I'm already anti-NBC!!!!

"Passions" fans WILL NOT take this lying down.

Don't underestimate us, NBC.

We mean BUSINESS.

Unlike YOU, with your faulty business proposals that concern the "Today" show.

You are CLUELESS, NBC.

I haven't watched Passions in a good two years, but...if watching means saving it, then I'm down. Today is terrible, and as a college student who fits in where Passions is, let me just say, that on 3 of the 5 days during the week, I'm rolling home just as Passions starts here (2pm), so it's perfect timing. There is no way in friggin hell, that I'm going to get up when I don't have to watch more Today of all things. Nope. I'd rather sleep.

[KLN]

LoL, you sound just like the angry AW fans. That didn't save their show, though. Unfortunately.

[Kylie]

This won't be like my fight for AMC's Josh, I sold my soap loving soul for that boy, but I'm willing to at least rally for Passions.

[Mr. Brightside]

So news coming from the board that shall not be named is that

1) CBS has told them to pack up and leave (they rent the studio from them)

and 2) the guy who plays ethan is telling fans "no worries" <-- but that still doesn't mean much as the cast is always the last to know.

[DruRocks]

Okay, so "what's the board that shan't be named"?

[downwhtone]

FYI.....NBC Universal has cancelled the Megan Mullally Show. Could this be a reprieve for Passions? Here's a link to the article on Yahoo:

[KLN]

If we named it, it would no longer be TBTSNBN, LoL

[KLN]

I thought that Megan Mullally was syndicated?

[mateo22]

The MM show is syndicated, so there is no effect on Passions fate or not. The show doesn't even air on NBC here, it aired on the CW I think and at like 4am....

I have been so upset the past couple of days about Passions. Could this be a glimmer of hope that the show won't be cancelled? Should I get my hopes up again? This so sucks, I just want to know for sure already!
