Is Passions being cancelled?

[KLN]

EK4L, I see youuuu... come out come out wherever you are....

I know you're reading this thread!

What do YOU think, my friend?

[Mason]

Yes, EK4L, do you have any inside info on this one? I NEED to know!!!

[JER Soaps Fan]

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.

[King]

Yeah, Gabe, give us the scoop.

[KLN]

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.

[King]

Well, that I agree with, JSF.

[JER Soaps Fan]

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.

If there is a Pro-PSNS/Anti-JER banner, I'd use that...........

May stay up another 30 minutes...watching episodes of PC that I have on DVD. I have nothing else to do.

PC. You know, before the arcs.

[Mason]

I highly doubt NBC is gonna be in any mindset to help us if all we're telling them is how much we despise them already. If they haven't already, I'm sure they'd just pull the plug on PSNS out of spite.

[JER Soaps Fan]

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.

[JER Soaps Fan]

I guess I've seen similar things on SON and that's why I was desensitized. (Some of you know I'm right -- others have used even worse sexual overtones than that before.)

That doesn't make it right, but it does make me (and possibly Rion) desensitized.

[bellcurve]

NBC has the decision made already.

Be as optomistic as you like folks. I just refuse to believe things will look good for DAYS if NBC has a one-soap lineup.

[Mason]

Then you obviously have never been hit on by a total psychopath.
