No, King, that's not the purpose at all. I want the soap saved so NBC can dictate pacing and when to end stories that aren't working. Also, so the show could get a co-headwriter. NBC wielded its power with "Days" to force its renewal so they can do the same with "Passions," and the show will be BETTER for it.

I just really wouldn't blame NBC for cancelling Passions. I really wouldn't. I don't WANT them to, but I wouldn't blame them.

It's been nearly 8 YEARS. It's still at the bottom of the pack. Something has to be done, and JER obviously isn't rushing to make any changes. So, apparently, NBC is.

I disagree. That translates to loyalty to a network who isn't loyal to its soap fans. WE NEED the anti-NBC campaign because we're viewers and our eyeballs will leave their stations if the network cancels our soaps. It seems pretty logical to me. Strength is found in numbers and in proving the power of the relationship between the network's loyalty to fans and vice versa. It also speaks volumes of soap fans and their power.

You're not crazy. Several of the mainstream publications pointed that out. Entertainment Weekly documented the series high, back in 2001, in an article called "NBC Soaps Float." The show scored those numbers for the resolution the buried alive/Theresa's engagement storylines in December 2000. The show once again scored the coveted 2.9 rating in a later year, though I forgot which. It was around the holidays, though.

The only thing this thread is missing is you, Gabe.

We could use some scoop so we can get back to the topic at hand.

As for banners, I agree with King. We need to emphasize the point to NBC that Passions needs JER out or major changes made if it is too remain. That kind of thing should be in the banner.
