Members RionPassions Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 Yep, the tabloid secret is the only thing standing in the way of Gwen and Ethan's divorce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 Pfft. If Passions wasn't getting the axe, they'd STILL not be coming out. JER's just having to force his hand. Besides, there's no law saying that JER has to resolve anything. It'd be just like him to have passions go out with a big weird question mark.

Members DH23 Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 Rion, you're too much. It sounds like you are wishing for a "big rape fest" just to vindicate JERk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 How long has that secret been kept? I forgot already. It was one reason I just gave up on Passions all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members daysfan Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 Rion, I do not get you.....I mean, you claim to love Passions, but you say that you wouldn't care if Passions just had a rape fest when it ends. That would be sick and JER can say goodbye to his daytime writing career if he does do that, because I can't see anyone, even Brian Frons hiring him after that. You know, even though I'm sure like others have said he just would let the show get cancelled without resolving anything, if he does try to resolve that big list Rion made, he wouldn't have enough time to write it all. If this was Hogan Sheffer....then mabye. But that's a mabye. But JER does not write fast....so would he really have enough time to resolve all those loose ends before the show is cancelled? It just goes to show how stupid it is to leave so many loose ends hanging and forget about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RionPassions Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 I am wishing for all the plots to be resolved, but I also want JER to take his revenge on the fans who turned on him and didn't support the show. Then I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DH23 Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 I agree with those who think JER is going to leave everything hanging. I think I read that the writers of "Capitol" did that as a big FU (using Rion's words) to CBS for cancelling the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 Damn, you are both right. I think that is the last time I fully saw Passions. Meaning a whole week of Psssions. I would watch it regulary. I would tape it of course. But after 2001 I stopped. I couldnt take it anymore. I was a big fan of Ethan and Theresa. I loved both Ethans btw..LOL. Well, I might have to tune in again. Probably not until the last day before cancellation. That is probably when all secrets come out...LOL.

Members RionPassions Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 Don't worry, this is why fan fic was invented. We can choose our own ending!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 Pfft. So then what's the point of a show or a headwriter at all when fanfic makes up for what the HW so sorely lacks? Fanfic is hardly proof or credit to JER's 'greatness.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted January 9, 2007 Members Share Posted January 9, 2007 I wonder if the Baltimore and Chicago affiliates were given a heads-up on what's to come. IF DAYS is the sole NBC soap, affiliates need to step up and put it in DIRECT competition with talk shows and things that air after soaps in the late afternoon. Affiliates need not worry that this could interfere with the SOAPnet airing, as DAYS airs at 11PM EST. In order for DAYS to survive past the current contract cycle, IMO, it needs to air AFTER the traditional GH and GL timeslot. That is the only way NBC will get their some of their coveted 18-49's back that they lost after OJ and Langan + Higley + Reilly II. DAYS can and WILL soar. It just needs to be out of the way of its competitors and not in the early morning. Even if affiliates choose to keep DAYS as the sole NBC soap(and unless NBC 100% Pressures them to do it, I seriously doubt it), the ratings will stay at 2.6. The time has come for the networks and the affiliates to do something different and frankly, downright drastic to get the numbers up. DAYS can nab #1 Households and Total Viewers from Y&R if it airs in the late afternoon. But, NBC would have to force its O&O's to air DAYS at that time. Would NBC willing to do that to a property they don't own? THAT is the big question. Correct me if I am wrong, but do most Eastern Time Zone affiliates have an hour-long gap of time between news and primetime television? I notice on many charts, WHEEL and JEOPARDY! air back-to-back before primetime. Imagine if those affiliates aired DAYS before the primetime lineup. Do you know how HUGE the ratings would be? Especially considering Hogan Sheffer is in there, writing(from what I can see) character-driven drama?! But NBC/Universal would have to PROVE they care about DAYS, or more importantly, anything other than TODAY and its syndicated properties. And I don't see that happening anytime soon.
