Bad News for Canadian Fans... :(

According to TV Guide Canada...Global TV will NOT be airing Passions after it's run on NBC. They will not be picking up the new episodes that will air on DIRECTV.

So basically at this time there is not a new home for Passions. Perhaps down the road another network in Canada will pick up the new episodes that will air on DIRECTV.

:(

If Global's not picking up Passions , I hope Global-Toronto will air at 3:30pm with the day ahead episode.

Maybe Chum will pick it up? Or maybe CTV will re-acquire Passions?

PASSIONS moving to DirecTV - Frequently Asked Questions

As previously announced, PASSIONS ends its run on NBC on September 7, 2007, but will resume broadcasting on DirecTV on September 17, 2007. Here are some answers to your initial questions:

Q) I want to make the switch to DIRECTV so I don't miss a single episode of "Passions." What do I do?

A) DIRECTV will make it easy for Passions viewers to keep track of the happenings in "Harmony" by providing fans free installation, a DVR or HD receiver upgrade, and a portable DVD player by calling a special phone number (866-788-0003) or visiting the Web (www.directv.com/passions) that will give those without DIRECTV plenty of time to switch before the new season begins.

Q) I can't get DIRECTV. Will I still be able to watch "Passions" episodes online or on iTunes?

A) No, "Passions" will only be available exclusively on DIRECTV's Channel 101.

Q) Will the current message board still remain active?

A) Yes - www.nbc.com/passions will continue to be the center of the official "Passions" online community. Look for enhanced features and new content soon!

Q) Will my favorite characters still be on the show?

A) We hope to have all of our "Passions" cast and crew remain as the show moves to DIRECTV. We'll know for sure in the next several weeks, and will keep you updated!

You can save Youtube clips. As you said it probably wont be the best quality (but that really depends on how good the person capping the episodes is, and if this person is willing to make larger files per episode). But still, you can save them on Youtube.

A possible solution for most Passions fans and DIRECTV...Please Read!

I was checking out the DIRECTV website and I notice that they have a bunch of satellite receivers that you can use with your car, SUV, boat, RV, etc. Also, they have satellite receivers that are portable that you can use to go camping with or you can even use it in your house.

Now this may not be a solution for most but, I'm sure it will be a solution for some especially for people who are not property owners and can't install a satellite dish on top of the house or apartment building.

One product that I think is very cool and innovative is the portable satellite receiver that you can use for camping or even inside your house. This portable satellite receiver has a built-in 17 inch LCD screen and it's called DirecTV Sat Go.

Here is the website address about different types of satellite receivers that are very non-traditional...

Fellow Canadians!! We need to band together to find Passions a new home!!

I think it would succeed on MuchMusic, City TV, Space, or some other specialty channels. I can't see it going to CBC or CTV. Come on y'all, let's think of something!!!

It just is. I mean, is there any OTHER show on another television network that has an NBC.com/ "whatever" domain? I don't THANK so!

I might add: Keeping the NBC.com site likely would give the show more Web exposure (homepage wise) than the DirecTV site it may have. And then it could drive more clueless viewers to DirecTV. (We all know some TRULY ignorant people who don't know how TV works, and still won't get that even though they heard a show was "canceled," and they saw something advertised on TV as the final episode on NBC, they just don't GET that it really will live on.)

    • 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.
