Members Mason Posted March 19, 2007 Members Share Posted March 19, 2007 IF this even ends up happening, there's no way in hell I'm giving up my cable in favor of satellite (which I hate) JUST for PASSIONS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members heatherwebber Posted March 20, 2007 Members Share Posted March 20, 2007 Are they considering a pay per view arrangement like BBC America set up with Dish Network for Eastenders? They charge about $10 a month for the approx. 2 hour weekly omnibus (roughly 20 1/2 hour episodes a month.) I think it would be expensive and not many would spring for it if that's so.

Members juppiter Posted March 20, 2007 Members Share Posted March 20, 2007 If NBC mixed new Passions with repeats of DAYS and SANTA BARBARA I could totally see this channel flying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ponz Posted March 20, 2007 Members Share Posted March 20, 2007 I'm happy for Passions fans if this pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mason Posted March 20, 2007 Members Share Posted March 20, 2007 I would be happy, but if it does happen, I won't be able to watch it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dawn9476 Posted March 20, 2007 Members Share Posted March 20, 2007 Ain't going to fly even with repeats of Days and SB to back it up. Plus to air repeats of Days would be Sony's call, not NBC's. And since Sony already has a deal with Disney and Soapnet, it is not going to happen. If NBC owned Days, it wouldn't be airing on Soapnet.

Members KMan101 Posted March 20, 2007 Members Share Posted March 20, 2007 Can some of you even BE positive? Sheesh! I think it's an interesting concept and I'll wait and see what happens. I realize we are free to say what we want, but come on ... at least give it a chance before automatically shutting it down! Me ... unless the writing changes I say just end Passions, which is hard for me to say. I was a DIEHARD fan from 1999 until 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daysfan Posted March 20, 2007 Members Share Posted March 20, 2007 NOOOO! I LOVE Passions and it is great it might live on, but I don't get Satellite and am on cable! And I am not gonna go through trying to change it(because I've tried it before, didn't work), so I won't be able to see it if it does go up on Satellite!

Members PhoenixRising05 Posted March 20, 2007 Members Share Posted March 20, 2007 I would be positive if I thought this would benefit the show but it won't. People aren't just going to change their lifestyle for Passions. Kevin Reilly makes me hopeful that the show will live on but I don't feel satellite is the way to go. Most of the fanbase won't be able to see it so that is more a detriment then a benefit. Oh, and a side note, NBC is really doing all it can for Passions which is refreshing. I hope they extend the same courtesy to Days. Anyway, I hope Passions does find a home. I know NBC has affiations with Sci-Fi and USA so perhaps they could look into those or other cable options. I think cable or another network is the way to go to save the show and give it a fighting chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KMan101 Posted March 20, 2007 Members Share Posted March 20, 2007 Honestly ... who's to say NBC.com won't stream episodes, or Itunes? It's not hopeless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted March 20, 2007 Members Share Posted March 20, 2007 That is a good idea Kman and I would hope that happens. I am sure they are looking at the best ideas to benefit the show...at least I hope they are. It is refreshing to see actual effort to save a show though.
