when 50% of your daytime lineup is in the toilet ratings wise ... then yes, it does matter. What you're arguing is primetime shows, which does not apply here. You can have one or two uncessfull shows, because you have like 20 others to back up your lineup. NBC has half of its daytime lineup invested in something that does nothing for them critically or in ratings.

The only reason I would want to see Passions stay, is because of Days and it being alone in the afternoon makes it very vulnerable to NBC just axing the entire lineup. But Passions is crap. Has always been crap. Has had soooo many chances to improve and learn from their mistakes, but hasn't bothered. It's gotten cocky, like JER, when it has no grounds to be so (also .. like JER)

I disagree. "Passions" HAD the grounds to be cocky. People keep forgetting that at one time, this WAS the most buzzed about soap AND (denial, denial) the most critically acclaimed. It WAS. These are facts. People don't want to admit it because the show was so different and untraditional, but that's the way it was.

So JER and the show DID have clout. It did have bragging rights.

I will agree, however, that JER let it all go to his head, and the result was laziness, a supersized ego and horrible pacing.

I think that RionPassions and his psychotic attitude drew most of the attention, JSF.

I don't have time to read up on all those pages....so will you answer my question that I asked pages ago, how can I help with the save Passions thing? You may have answered, but I just didn't see it because of all the pages!

I answered, daysfan, lol.

Either use the official "Peacocks SUCK!" avatar or the official "Boycott the Today show" banner (with matching "Member ... Brigade" signature line). Next, mail NBC a letter showing your support for "Passions" and NBC Daytime. Also, be sure to include a link to this thread, which shows the support for the effort thanks to the rapidly growing brigade and its banners.

It's really that simple.

I read SOME Of the arguement between Rion and others, and even though I have been just thinking this for a while and not go public with this, I think Rion....well....this might seem stupid but he IS JER!

However, why is everyone getting onto him?

Nah, that lasted just 10 or 12 pages. Plus, the thread continues and Rion is healed.

You did read the posts where he came on to me (no, I'm not even kidding), right? Or at least the ones where he wished cancellation and general misery on DAYS fans?

Daysfan, he has said things that have made me suspicious as well.

But it's highly unlikely, right?

I mean, remember when EVERYONE on SON thought King Reilly was James E. Reilly?

And then we learned that was false.

So this could be just like that.

But Rion, if you are JER, my gosh, I have a TON of questions for you, my ex-role model.

I'd have tons of comments for you too -- and not a one of them would be flattering, I can guarantee you that!

Actually, right when I got here, I thought King was JER too! But, that was different, because right after reading a few posts on SON, I KNEW King could not be JER! Rion, however, my suspicions are raised.

I know I SHOULD know this, but what's NBC's email address?

Although I understand that some major network players have addressed this rumour and stated it is being considered, I think in the end NBC will decide to keep PASSIONS around a bit longer, at least through the next few sweeps periods.

If not, well I can say that I will be sad to see PASSIONS go, but I would be sad to see another SOAP go...so if I had to pick I would definetly choose to keep PASSIONS on the air.

I truly feel that although it will have some impact on DAYS, I don't think it will reach the heights that some of you are suggesting, the arguments are just too "what if" for me to agree with them right now.

Anyways we are fans of a dying genre, we had to know this was going to come eventually. Lets hope for the best, but prepare for the worst, just in case I guess.

It's a natural SON process. Just like how Rion will bug people for a few more days before he disappears, never to be heard from again.

He's been bugging people or a few MONTHS now, and has yet to disapear. It's his lingering around that's really suspicious.......IMHO

This thread is still going strong

Let's keep it going guys

I do agree Mitch. I don't think this will have as much impact on Days intially as people say. Personally, I am not worried about Days for the first time in awhile.

They made casts cuts and things should be fine for now. I think Days can survive for awhile alone because, seriously, what else can NBC do in that time slot? They must want something other then syndicated programming on during the day and Days does still succeed in demos and is slightly improving.

I don't think NBC would allow Days to bring in a new, emmy-award winning HW to try to improve the show and then cancel it without giving Hogan and the show some time to improve ratings and such.

If Days ever does get canned, I know someone will pick them up. I don't want that to happen but I know it will and another soap will suffer, sadly. I just want to leave Days out of this right now because Passions is the current target and no one knows what is happening yet there. These rumors always spread at this tiem every year and, hopefully, they go nowhere just like every year.

Anyways, back to Passions, I hope that it stays around a bit longer just for the genre's sake. I also hope, if it does, that changes are made to make it finally realize it's potential.

You did read the posts where he came on to me (no, I'm not even kidding), right? Or at least the ones where he wished cancellation and general misery on DAYS fans?

The wishing cancellation part I did read. And for that Rion, I partially agree with them. I CAN'T Believe you would dare wish cancellation on a soap and misery on people, which would include me, just because of how they treated JER, who DESERVED to be treated that way! He deserved to be fired, and you should be happy because now he can give his full attention to Passions. But no, you still want revenge on Days because they fired your idol, or, mabye even they fired you.

And, he CAME ONTO YOU?! I don't want to get into a big discussion about it but Rion, that's rude!!!!!! I'll dare you do that! There are hardly no words.

Now, I don't want to start another arguement, but Rion, I serously am beginning to think you are JER. You show all the attributes of him, and you get alot of spoilers for the show.

Anyway, back on topic, which is Passions, I hope they do not get cancelled, and I just hope NBC realizes how many fans there are of the show and that a fourth hour of Today will fail.

I dont think Days will be canned anytime soon. But what gives u the idea another network would pick it up? You sure are positive about that one. AW, Santa Barbara and Sunset Beach were canned and no other network picked them up.

He's been bugging people or a few MONTHS now, and has yet to disapear. It's his lingering around that's really suspicious.......IMHO

It's gone beyond bugging. Now, he's regressed to a babbling, perverted lunatic with a split personality disorder!
