Hopefully that is not the case. I called the show today and asked about all the rumors and the articles in the upcoming issues of SOD and SOW regarding the possible cancellation. The woman responded that the show is not cancelled and that there were no plans to do so. I don't know how much faith to put in that, but hopefully she is right and hopefully the show can maitain the ratings it received the 1st week of January 2007.

Usually they will give you a "no comment" answer if it was indeed cancelled.

So hopefully she's right *crosses fingers*

Let's just hope all these "romours" it they are rumours get's JER's butt in gear to resolve some stories.

Wrong. "Passions" HAS shown itself to be enough people's cup of tea for staying on the air. That's proven by NBC's renewing the show for so many years. The net was clearly happy with the 2's. "Passions" isn't the problem. It has the marketability and CAN earn the Nielsens. No, JER is the problem. HE and HE alone ruined my favorite show of all time.

And because of that, and NBC not doing something desperate to kick him into gear and renewing the show, YES, I feel it necessary to pray NBC into CW territory.

I hope she was right...but come on, how did you get the show's PHONE number? E-mail, I'd believe. But it's not like there's a 1-800 PASSIONS!

Even so, I hope the number you called was legit and the show is safe. AND that NBC kicked JER's but into gear. Honestly, I don't know what is his problem!! If he ticks ME off this much, you know there's something wrong.

Dear God, yes, Rick! Let's hope JER will get his ASS in gear. I'm sorry but I have NEVER been more disappointed with a human being in my LIFE. He just took a goldmine show with ridiculous potential and marketability and backburnered everything for years and ticked everyone off! What is his problem?! DEAR GOD, WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM?!@!!

I hate to play Devil's Advocate here, but did you really think she was going to tell the truth? They were probably given their canned response since I'm sure they are getting lots of calls. They wouldn't dare let the cat out of the bag before anything is officially announced. Hell for that matter they might even be the last to know. Those people that answer the phones are robots anyway. I've known people in the past that have called to complain and their response is always "Keep watching, good things are coming up," and we all know that is bull shiit.

Only time will tell, and hopefully they won't keep us waiting too long before we get something offical one way or another.

Wow...out of the loop for two days and this thing is still going strong!!! :lol:

I hope Passions doesn't go and that the rumors aren't true. The show does have potentail and the genre doesn't need this to start some sort of chain of changes since this will likely end with Days moving and ending another soaps's run and destroying Days in the process.

Hopefully, Passions stays and JER is put under control or fired (never will happen) and Passions gets the helps it needs so that the genre doesn't suffer on many levels.

    • It's tiimmmmmmmmmmmmmeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Aw Hell no...not Silk Press Sheila trying to suck up to Mona.   Yaayyyy!!! Nosy Nurse!!!   NICOLE!!!   Andre looking FOINE in that vest.    NOPE to NuTed in that coat. Tbf that started off that way. I do wonder if that will continue to be an issue going forward.   Same. I really would love if it kept going.
    • The ratings the last few months seemed to hover between the high 4s and mid 5s with an occasional off week when it would almost hit 6.0. Ironically the last week the show was on the air, it did hit 6.2 so it proved that people were available to watch the show.. but had fallen off due to the constant change in focus. It's possible that maybe the final writer was Henry Slesar considering the more crime slant the show took in the final months... but why work against your other show.
    • I have some catching up to do, so I'll come back with more later, but I am watching yesterday's episode... Andre/Derek/Ashely have not sat well with me since day 1, and I can't believe I'm going to say this...but if two had to go, I would pick Ashley and Andre. I cringed at Andre blowing smoke up Ashley's ass and making it seem like she couldn't possibly have done anything wrong to drive Derek away and that if he was in Derek's place, he would never walk out on Ashley because Ashley is just so flawless

      Like whhhhaatttt? The girl is sitting there with a mountain of tissues crying over a basic argument that she could easily pick up the phone and end. Sean Freeman's acting choices bother me a bit...they have from the beginning which makes me dislike the character even more. I don't get Andre's obsession with an overgrown "Miss Perfect" like Ashley. Ashley reminds me of the good girl that grew up super sheltered and tried to do well at everything and wanted everything to be a certain way. She's bland. Mama is as spicy as warm milk yet Andre is all over that. Then he's always exhaling that last word and scrunching up his nose and pouting his lips in his Mr. Rogers sweaters and it just makes me mad. 
    • Exactly, the jacket was choking him while he sat on the desk. He's giving early Gary Ewing.
    • Yes, that is what I was asking you!!! Do you think primetime or a movie will snap him up? I always enjoyed the live music on DAYS. In similar fashion I am open to liking the NB although sometimes it disappointed in the effort but this year has been so satisfying. 
    • Seriously, are there any rootable characters on this show? Are the head writers writing the show so we can hate every one of them? I hate Lulu. The bitch should've stayed in a coma. Willow still looking dumb as hell. I can't wait for Nina's secret of sleeping with Drew to come out. I hate her too.
    • I don't believe for one minute that Henry was Russell. I watched Somerset from the time Roy Winsor then Robert J. Shaw took over and the only period that was interesting or watchable was when I believe Winifred Wolfe was head or co head and introduced Dale (Ellen affair) and someone was harming/murdering older folks. Then it was terrible. The last six months was a slight improvement over the prior six months but nowhere near Henry quality. I also don't believe P&G would have put him on a competing time slot show.  There is a Russ Kubeck born in 1952 from Connecticut but he would have likely been too young to get a head writing stint. Plus, Henry wouldn't have chosen that name as an alias. Look at his Wikipedia page for all the aliases he used.  The real Russ may have been the 1952 Russ's father and used his middle name. Also I believe Kubeck may have been a name changed from Kupecky or Kubecky.  Many changed their names during the Wars etc. 
    • Nu-Ted looks like he was playing dress up today in that overgrown Blazer. He really is just not for me.
    • I just got home from work and will take a look at today's show in a bit. However, I was thinking about Silk Press Sheila and wondering if she would try to suck up to Mona... and thought to myself only someone suffering from delulu would try to suck up to Mona (Jan, I sort of understood why she tried).. and seeing that SPS is just delulu enough to suck to Mona makes me chuckle. I understand that Derek/Ashley are not end game (just like how on B & B when it started that Brooke/Dave were not end game)... but the show is going about this coupling in all the wrong ways.  Since the show seems to operate from a place of misandry, the way they're writing this Derek/Ashley conflict makes Ashley the bad one. I would have had the conflict rooted in two things: 1) Andre/Ashley's continued friendship.. which would have made Dani a bit jealous if she came across the two chatting and continued to make Derek left out/jealous 2) Derek/Hayley had good chemistry in terms of rapport so I would have had a couple of more scenes of the two running into one another out and about.  Perhaps she and Caroline could have been having a work lunch at Orphey Jean's.. and Derek comes in to get an order for his fellow crew.. and the two have a brief chat.  Maybe establish the two running into one another at Uptown while she waits for Bill and he waits for Ashley and/or Jacob.   And eventually Naomi or Jacob come across the two talking and they alert Ashley. That way the two would a legit argument over their jealousy over the others platonic interaction with someone of the opposite sex.   Just my two cents... and it would give Hayley something to do outside her continual 'honeymoon' with Bill.
