I don't agree that the witch and a few other things is the problem. Trassions being filth cannot be disputed, but Tabby and Timmy were a big attraction, and they were an integral part of what should have been a blossoming show. I loved them, and I also appreciated that it was only 1/4 of the show. Hell in the Closet was our 1st sign that Reilly should be on meds... That is when the show began to severely go downhill.

Tabby and Timmy were original and a welcomed changed. They matched perfectly with the rest of the show. Who knew that Reilly had no intention of taking the characters/stories anywhere? Innovative? Brilliant? I laugh at that! The man would not know drama and sunspense if he tripped over it...

Why so many fans abandoned the show is the question as opposed to why so many began watching.

The mere fact that each and every character has been destroyed for plot purposes, not one character has developed in the 8 years this show has been on the air, the "stories" have contined from July 1999 with no resolution in sight (even after being cancelled), the characters say the same thing day in and out, the woman are all self loathing and chasing a man, the men are too stupid to live, no one is really interesting, the characters only interact with their love interest and/or the character torturing them, no one is happy, the head nonwriter is obsessed with beastiality, nonconsensual sex, violence, degredation of women, a bunch of eunuchs, the copy paste thing Reilly has done for about 6 years...is PLENTY reason to not take this show seriously...

Reilly simply destroyed his own creation, and NBC was right to kick him out!

I knew we wouldn't get any closure on the network run front. I guess as happy as I am for those who have DirectTV or those who are willing switch, I'm still bitter. Prlly really won't missing anything anyway, nonetheless, it'll be interesting to see where this all goes- how the show looks, who stays/goes, etc.

It has taken me forever to respond to this absolutely amazing development for Passions, because I've been really busy with work. However, I'm beyond thrilled that its going to continue. I'm strongly considering a switch to DirectTV. I have a couple of months to figure out if that will be a beneficial move for me or if NBC will still show the same day episodes at NBC.com. Passions is a wacky, fun, endearing, addictive and entertaining show. I hope it prospers on DirectTV and becomes a pioneer for the soap opera genre. I'm looking forward to season 9.

You're absolutely right about Timmy and Tabitha being original and a major part of what made Passions interesting to say the least. Right now Endora is probably the cutest thing I've ever seen on that show and I love watching her and Tabitha together which is kinda sad. I guess what I was trying to say was that them combined with all this out there stuff just ruined it for me. It went too far and it became so ridiculous.

Youtube is becoming the Devil. I hate that place nowadays. Sorta like I've grown to hate eBay also.

    • She did have a thing with him in the late '90s, before she inexplicably disappeared with no mention as to why, although I can't remember if they had sex.
    • I don't believe she did. She did sleep with Simon, believing he was a Spaulding.
    • -- If I ever get sick, please don't send me to Garland Memorial. That hospital is a YIKES. -- Soooo much activity around the main nurses' desk. Do they move dead people on a gurney past that desk, too? -- 8 months for Bill to recover from a "small stroke"? Uh....I don't think so. Is anyone researching this stuff? The hospital stuff is not coming off as realistic. -- It's good that Derek and Ashley are being integrated into other stories, but it's a real stretch to say Leslie was "stalking" Ashley. It makes Derek seem dumber than we already think he is. -- Ashley spends a lot of time having small talk while she's at work. -- Chelsea is embarrassing. Period. -- Tomas is supposed to pick up the slack for Bill, but he has time to have worthless conversations with Leslie? OK then. -- Kat is destroying the case against Leslie, but that's clearly the way to keep Leslie on the canvas.
    • 6-3   I almost let my system just delete the episode just like with B&B. I am now questioning if I should have. lol.   I just can't believe that Cole sat there and started to get sick and then only Victoria off and ran off and everyone basically went back to what they were doing at Nikki's birthday party. Cole was too much of a vet character for that. And now story back off-screen.   I did chuckle at how much Victor pay Kyle dust. And now Kyle with this deal and a promise to leave town if he hurts Claire. smh. As if Victor isn't going to make that happen.   It was lovely to see Ashley. And actually (misdressed and all) Abby.    And I liked Claire's dress. 
    • Oh. That. I pretend that never happened.

      I did think of another possibility. Did India ever sleep with Alan? They kind of toyed with pairing them up, but I'm not sure they ever became lovers.
    • While I do love the chaotic energy that is Kat vs Lesile, it is a bit extra. Sheltered, virginal Kat who plays it safe from her man to her wardrobe understands that Leslie is dangerous, but she's out here showing up everywhere and anywhere that Lesile is to be found and actively going to places where she is alone? I mean Kat doesn't even act a little afraid or intimidated by Leslie. Meanwhile, big Ole Derek out here begging for his and Ashley's life to Jacob.  As for Dani, I didn't see it that way. Dani and Bill were together for 30 years and shared a family. I believe there was real love there at one point. Bill is still an ass and Dani is still crazy, but realizing she may lose him and her daughter's may lose their dad definitely struck a chord.
    • Funny I randomly saw Kami’s lengthy post about the 44th anniversary of the Walton’s finale last week pop up in my news feed on Facebook. A few inaccuracies to her post but overall it was pretty insightful and interesting to read. 
    • Well, depending on rewrites...Jennifer Richards potentially slept with Brandon and Alan. It does feel like we're forgetting someone, but then again, maybe I'm confusing that with brothers, which would include a lot more.
    • Maybe it’s me, and the fact that RC isn’t at the helm, but since Cwikly and Ford have taken over I’ve noticed the show doing a lot of things differently directing wise, and since the storyline of John’s demise began, the show has been using different scores, and dare I say better ones than this time last year. It’s interesting and I wonder if the any of it is Noel Maxam’s influence before being promoted.
    • I think Nicole is about to figure out what's going on between Andre and Dani.
