Members daysfan Posted January 16, 2007 Members Share Posted January 16, 2007 This is so sad. Yet another soap with so much potential has met the axe of cancel happy NBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UKBoi Posted January 16, 2007 Members Share Posted January 16, 2007 This is such bad news for Passions fans. And bad news for Daytime in general. Now with the rumours of ABC cutting a soap, and CBS will be no doubt not far behind. Days is sure to suffer as well so I give daytime soaps until 2020 at the latest.

Members Mason Posted January 17, 2007 Members Share Posted January 17, 2007 I just called too, and it is official. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted January 17, 2007 Members Share Posted January 17, 2007 They're confirming it to everyone who calls. Passions is dunzo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted January 17, 2007 Members Share Posted January 17, 2007 Well, try to look on the bright side, everyone. This summer, Passions should be CAN'T MISS. Eight years worth of story finally wrapped up. This is what it took. That is... if JER decides to wrap stuff up. He could be a stubborn ass and leave everything open-ended. It'd be just like him!

Members daysfan Posted January 17, 2007 Members Share Posted January 17, 2007 JER will probably just mess it up more and leave even more stuff left hanging then there is now! The only brightside I see to this right now is that JER is (for now, but hopefully permanantly) now, completely out of the daytime business.

Members KLN Posted January 17, 2007 Members Share Posted January 17, 2007 JER will probably end Passions by having Alistair blow up the entire town of Harmony, killing everyone. And I'm serious. It would be just like him to go out with a literal bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mason Posted January 17, 2007 Members Share Posted January 17, 2007 Oh, I can definitely see this happening. JER's not gonna go down without one final "F you" to the viewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members nassaunew Posted January 17, 2007 Members Share Posted January 17, 2007 Is there *any* hope that another network (ABC probably) would risk picking up Passions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daysfan Posted January 17, 2007 Members Share Posted January 17, 2007 You know, I agree with you too! I mean, the last scene would probably be Theresa screaming as Gwen and Ethan share a kiss! That, or a rape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mason Posted January 17, 2007 Members Share Posted January 17, 2007 I doubt it very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted January 17, 2007 Members Share Posted January 17, 2007 No. NBC owns Passions. They're not going to give their show to another network. Besides, no network would be willing to buy it, LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dawn9476 Posted January 17, 2007 Members Share Posted January 17, 2007 Heck no. CBS has enough problems as it is with ATWT and GL. Plus, if the rumors about a soap at ABC being canceled to make room for a third hour of GMA, there ain't no way ABC will pick up Passions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dawn9476 Posted January 17, 2007 Members Share Posted January 17, 2007 Don't blame NBC. Blame JER. NBC probably gave Passions more chances than it deserved and JER blew it. The show was close so many times to tying or breating GL in the ratings and JER blew it each and every time in the past four years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Brightside Posted January 17, 2007 Members Share Posted January 17, 2007 For the record, I hate Passions but I love soaps. If any network would be willing to buy it, I think it would be The CW. They could air it during the day and then re-air it at 7pm or 10pm (before or after their primetime shows). This would get CW in the soap business and they could then create their own soap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
