So I guess we will know 100% for sure this wednesday? Once the network accounces it's schedule?

Just in case Passions is cancelled, we should start planning a huge, massive campaign to save the show. *If* it does go, I want the CW or even Fox to pick it up.

I doubt either one will pick it up.

Hence, my duty to pray away NBC, as a whole. That horrible network MUST be taught a lesson.

NBC owns PSNS. They're not going to send it to another network.

Sorry, Drew, that argument won't fly.

Fancy was attacked twice within the past two weeks. It wasn't the same attack.

hence the questionmark ...

Who cares if it wasn't the same attack?

Poor Fancy has been raped/attacked 3 times in the last 4 weeks. That is appalling.

So it seems things aren't looking good and Wednesday could be the big day. We could be entering a huge period for NBC and soaps.

And NBC could find itself at the bottom of the ratings game in all its dayparts, if I have to whip out my rosary and call upon God's graces.

Wednesday WON'T be the "big day" and NBC WON'T cancel my show -- not if that net knows what's good for it.

The curse on the National Broadcasting Company will begin the day it cancels "Passions." AT least, if that day occurs in 2007.

And Lord, I'm ready when you are.

I have also heard from a couple of people that Passions is being cancelled. I have kind of had a grudge against this show since it took Another World's spot 7or 8 years ago.

Yeah and OJ didn't do it.

I don't know why DAYS fans seem to have a really positive outlook on the Hourglass's future because of PASSIONS's cancellation. As I have said earlier, NBC will NOT pour money into advertising a one-soap lineup. It just ain't gonna happen. DAYS would have to drastically improve in the ratings between now and the time PASSIONS is cancelled. And I'm talking giving B&B serious competition for #2. Could it happen? Yes. But not under a cancel-happy network like NBC.

I'm not trying to be the Debbie Downer of the group or anything, but the writing is on the wall for DAYS as far as I'm concerned. It wouldn't surprise me at all if affiliates dropped both NBC soaps when PASSIONS is cancelled. Maybe not an O&O station, but surely some of the local affiliates where DAYS doesn't perform well for them will drop it in favor of another talk show, court show, or probably Syndie DEAL OR NO DEAL(not sure if they got a new host since Howie's not gonna do it or if they scrapped it altogether).

And NBC, being the heartless network it is, won't force affiliates to air it like they did PASSIONS. Why? Because, again, they don't own it.

PASSIONS had no effect on DAYS's ratings, you all are totally right about that. But PASSIONS staying with DAYS is the sole reason why NBC hasn't given up on soaps altogether, because, unlike AW, NBC was able to leech off of whatever audience would stick around after DAYS and make more money from it than higher-rated AW. Now that they barely make a profit off of soaps(especially a soap lineup that they don't have part ownership of), NBC won't care about DAYS, unless it is competing with B&B for #2. If it is continuing to stay middle of the pack, NBC won't want to stick with it, neither will it force affiliates to air it.

Some people need to stop looking through their rose colored glasses, and realize that their precious DAYS is in just as much trouble as PSNS.

I agree, but not just Days. Pretty much all of daytime is in trouble.

Some people need to stop looking through their rose colored glasses and see that PSNS DESERVES to be cancelled.

Can I get an amen! If any other soap had ratings that bad it would have been canned years ago.

I think this is bad news for soaps if this is indeed true, especially GL. If PSNS is cancelled GL will be on the bottom 90 out of 100 times, so how long before CBS and P&G are dissatified with being in last in HH numbers and almost all demos. I feel bad for the PSNS fans if this is true.

Sad, but true.

I hope PSNS stays on the air, for DAYS, GL and ATWT's sake.

If PSNS is cancelled, will DAYS absorb their budget?

If Passions actually is canceled, then I don't see NBC keeping DAYS on. Like I said in another part of the thread, NBC would be wise to move DAYS to an evening slot, maybe from 5-6 pm. Let's face, network affiliates do not need 3-4 hours of news on everyday. I think DAYS' numbers might improve if it was aired at times when people who work during the day can't watch it "live", so to speak.

But that probably won't happen. If NBC gets rid of Passions, more than likely DAYS will be gone as well. It's clear NBC would rather fill the early afternoon hours with talk shows, news shows, and reality crap nobody will care about, because it's much cheaper to produce.
