Members Darn Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 And JER will win a writing Emmy for Passions. And GL will surpass Y&R in the ratings. And Maurice Benard will learn to act. Hey, this is fun! Let's list other impossibilities! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 I disagree. I watched it since the beginning, and I'm sure many others did too. It's just about the right net, the right promotion and the right timeslot. In a different format or in a different decade or something, it would have WORKED. And honestly, what are we talking about here? Kenny, you do realize the show lasted EIGHT years, don't you? That's a SUCCESS, by any standard. It's the usual length of a successful primetime show. Who cares if "Days" has lasted 40? Eight is SUCCESSFUL, and we must not forget that. So the shocks WORKED. And the show WORKED. Just sayin'.

Members RionPassions Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Well, Passions will live on on cable or the internet where the show can be appreciated by its true, hardcore fans.. It's not Passions' fault that most soap viewers aren't savvy enough to get the satire and recognize WHY things on Passions are the way they are.

Members KLN Posted January 31, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 LMAO!! Eileen Davidson's stint at B&B will become a huge success. She'll take over Brooke's place as leading lady. General Hospital will be cancelled in place of a newly-retooled Port Charles. All My Children will get a budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Passions would've been a smash on Krypton. Or Skrull World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted January 31, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Yeah, you're right. Eight years is good. And it ran on fumes for 6 of those 8 years. Passions would've been gone four years ago if NBC had thought to expand "Today" earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 But again, they did. "Later Today" premiered, what, in 1999 too, didn't it? And that was the year of TWO soap cancellations, not just one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members px780 Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Check it out, NBC- this is what you needed. Take some text messages, scroll them across the bottom of the screen, hope you get a conversation as interesting as this (plus money from all the texts). It's a nice complement to the show. (Grace better come back to Harmony undead. Not alive, undead. That's the crossover to good vs. evil and the return of the supernatural. Alive would just be lame, imho).

Members RionPassions Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 I doubt it. People always complained about the early years of Passions with hundreds of flashbacks a week, repetitive dialogue that constantly explained characters' relationships to each other, and non-existent plot movement. It wasn't until 2004 when Eve's past came out that the show started to pick up the pace and reveal long-held secrets. Frankly, I'd take the last 4 years of Passions over the early years, with the boring, never-ending, unresolving plot lines. Since 2004, Eve's past has come out. We learned what was in TC's shed and why it was important (because EVE was responsible for the accident, not Julian), we learned the truth about Martin's disappearance, the gazebo, Sheridan's nightmares, Ivy's secret came out, Chad was revealed as the Evian son and then revealed to be Liz and Alistair's son, Little Ethan was revealed to be Ethan's son...I could go on even more, I think! In the early years, none of this plot progression would've happened. That's why I prefer Passions NOW to then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted January 31, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 I've discussed JER's lack of talent for years now. This story twist has nothing to do with 'getting me vocal.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
