LMAO!

Reminds me of an episode of The Nanny when Fran Drescher is talking to someone about a soap or something, and the other person says they haven't seen it in twenty years. She said, "Oh, let me catch you up then! Right now, it is later the same day, and..."

RionPassions, what the hell is with your love for PSN!? PSN is a failed show since it's inception! You love PSN, but u don't watch Y&R or GH? :blink: :blink: The worst of those 2 shows are 10x better than PSN will ever be! AW should never have been cancelled for least of all PSN. And AW better not be bumped off the air on SOAPnet for PSN reruns! :angry: I guess I should be saying: To each his own, but I have to draw the line somewhere. PSN is not golden, never was golden, never will be golden. AW is golden! The true SB (NOT the crappy Sunset Beach :angry:) is golden! The Edge Of Night is golden! That's what "golden" really means, RionPassions. Who would wanna invest in crap? Gold investments are tried & true! PSN 1999-2007. 8 years too long if u ask me.

There are a lot of people celebrating today's decision, I'm sure. I can hear it now. "Nice going, idiots... you dumped a 35-year old chestnut for a show that lasted just eight years. Brilliant."

Just playing devils' advocate here. The grudge should be against the network and not the show. I've lost too many of my favorite soaps to be pissed off about another show taking its place.

My hope is that somehow the show can continue on the Internet, sort of as a wait-and-see approach. If the fourth hour of "Today" fails, then NBC can cancel that LAME idea, bring "Passions" back to the network for television viewing and all will be right with the world. :)

And before anyone says I'm crazy, you KNOW the net had their mind made up about "Today," and by extension, "PASSIONS," for months now -- it really is VERY suspicious that the net just RECENTLY released "Passions" episodes for viewing online; putting that kind of effort out there, KNOWING they were canning the show.

there's definitely something to that.

Aw, poor Adrian. Again, I feel more for him and MarkCameronLongASSName and any others who just RECENTLY joined the show (like Charity). They've had less time to bank that money and who knows, since it might have seemed that the show was safe until 2009, the year of "Days"' renewal, they may not have banked at all! So, I have nothing but good wishes for 'em -- and all the actors and crew of course, but especially the newbies.

King, I just meant paycheck-wise.

Frankly, any number of "Passions" actors can land good roles quickly, due to looks or talent.

Lindsay Korman Hartley: another soap

Ben Masters: another soap, Lifetime movies of the week

Kim Johnston Ulrich: another soap, Lifetime movies of the week

Mark Cameron Wystrach: gay porn, modeling

Adrian Bellani: gay porn (We could FINALLY see the Foxguel potential that was untapped), modeling

Galen Gering: modeling, directing (it's his passion), straight porn

Eva Tamargo: telenovela, soap

Emily Harper: soap, primetime work (she definitely has the look), modeling

Eric Martsolf: modeling

Liza Huber: another soap

James Hyde: straight and gay porn, modeling

Heidi Mueller: modeling, another soap

Dylan Fergus: modeling

Danica Stewart: modeling

Brook Kerr: modeling, soap, primetime

Charles Divins: modeling

Cathy Jeneen Doe: soap, primetime

Tracey Ross: soap

Rodney Van Johnson: he's had primetime work before so...primetime, or something else.

McKenzie Westmore: something. :lol: I don't feel like figuring it out right now

As you can see, it's not that hard to find non-acting jobs for this talented and/or beautiful cast. And let's not forget the other jobs they can find, outside of acting, modeling and legitimate adult films. I'm sure many of them went to college and have degrees they can use. Then there are specific trades.

I really don't know about Lindsay. Primetime, for whatever reason, hires "ugly" pretty actresses, like that girl who plays Jan or whatever her name is on "The Office." Then there's Maura Tierney from "ER."

EDIT: For clarification, I mean actresses who are pretty, by "girl next door" standards. It's an average but pretty look, and they do clean up nicely. They just tone down their looks to be more average.

It's like you HAVE to be "ugly" pretty to be in primetime, otherwise you won't be taken seriously. Exceptions are people like Vanessa Williams on "Ugly Betty, "but that's a niche role because it's about the modeling industry. That Katherine Heigl from "Grey's Anatomy" also seems to be the exception to the rule.

LKH is just SO stunningly gorgeous that, unless she takes off ALL her makeup, and acts less glamorous and beautiful, her looks may be her undoing.

Does she have the talent? Well that's another question. And the answer? HELL yes.
