Passions: Tuesday


Recommended Posts

  • Members

It's about 30 minutes into today's show and I'm trying to stay awake while watching it........ :mellow:

Sheridan needs to STFU!

McKenzie's acting is just horrid lately, I miss Kam Heskin.....

It's sad that Paloma has been "nearly raped twice", and that any other female character has been nearly raped as many times as they have. I'm not to impressed with the way they are trying to portray Fancy as being off her rocker somewhat, when she's the smartest one on the whole show...... :angry:

They need new soaps in the 2 pm timeslot because all three shows had me going back to sleep.

Ethan is beyon pathetic. So is Gwen. I like her, but Ethan is no catch.

I found it so distasteful that Paloma was encouraging Fancy to fight for Luis by reverting to form. A rape should be developing her character.

I found Sheridan to be hilarious. She was giving so many back handed compliments.

Busybody Paloma is so annoying.

I hated both of Fancy's dress choices.

The whole show was a write-off except for watching Luis and the way he looks at Sheridan. I don't know if it's just that they have this long history of working together, but Galen seems so at ease when he's working with Mackenzie. He doesn't have that with anyone else, certainly not Emily, but no one. There's such intensity between those two. And this is coming from someone who barely watched Passions before 2006. I didn't see the Luis/Sheridan love affair begin and end and begin again. I just find the Luis/Fancy pairing to be a waste of time.

I SO agree. I only like the Theresa story because I like Jaresa and despise Ethan but I would probably like anyone with Theresa as long as it's not Ethan right now. I also thought it was funny how Gwen kept trying to talk to Ethan and get her ring back and he didn't even look at her. :lol: I just loved the end with Theresa and Jared getting engaged and Ethan having to watch.

The wedding crap is getting old. Can we please get on with this neverending crap? I did like the doctor Julian brought in. The actor was good and I love how Eve looked at Julian, just knowing he was up to something.

I was very happy with the Sam/Ivy stuff these past two days and I loved seeing the friendship scenes with Paloma/Fancy. I am glad Fancy has a friend to rely on.

I was not into Sheridan/Luis in the beginning because of the button stuff and her trashing Fancy (even though she was right but Fancy has matured a bit of late) but the second half when Sheridan was forgiving Luis for Marty's death and they were connecting again I LOVED it. It's the first time I felt something for Shuis in years. I still want Luis/Fancy but if they give me Shuis like they were in the last 15 minutes or so I am game. MW and GG were good there. If JER wants to give Sheridan an edge, fine. He just needs to quit destroying her. He can have a triangle without destroying her. Hell, make Sheridan have multiple personalities to explain away all this and then we could have a hell of a Sheridan/Luis/Fancy story. I would love this if not for the rape, attacks, and Sheridan destruction.

I also like that they are still playing the fallout to Fancy's rape. It's the most fallout they have played to a rape ever on this show. I was glad they brought up Paloma's almost rapes too even though it's sad that so many females on the show have been either attacked or raped.

I liked today's show today because there was actual movement and we got somec character growth in some areas. It wasn't great but much better then yesterday.

I would have liked Sheridan's apology more if I believed she really meant it. It's obvious that she just said it in order to re-connect with Luis. A GENUINE connection would be great, but her comments were full of manipulation.

Besides Jared and Theresa having no chemistry together, my main problem with Jaresa is the fact that their ENTIRE relationship focuses around Ethan and Theresa.

Their first meeting at The Blue Note? Ethan was there. Their first date? Ethan was there. The first time they had sex? Ethan was there. Their business relationship? Ethan. Going to the park with Lil Ethan? Ethan was there.

When Ethan is not there physically, Theresa's fantasizing about Ethan.

There is no Jaresa. There's JaresaE.

Re: the handling of Fancy's rape aftermath so far

It's not a perfect storyline, but the aftermath has been handled effectively especially for Passions.

I'm going to toot my own horn and say that I said that JER would focus on the ramifications more than they usually are on PSNS.

Just watching these episodes lately, I can tell which storylines he focuses on the most. Let's just say that M/K/F is at the bottom of his list.

I think Sheridan's Beth.....which I hate. I don't want this happening to Sheridan at all and have hated it since the beginning, but I don't want her Beth either. Beth was great....and Kelly was great, but she's not needed and I honestly just got tired of her after a while. Even though we know she's not dead, I wish she could just stay dead. We don't need this triangle over and over, it's getting tiresome. We have a new fresh one with Lucy(even though it's not that great now....but it's fresh). Beth's made her run, SO LEAVE HER DEAD!

I think a multiple personality story would have much more potential....but of course JER won't do that and if he does he will probably ruin it. :rolleyes: So I'll stick with my theory that Sheridan's Beth.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
