Members JER Soaps Fan Posted April 25, 2007 Members Share Posted April 25, 2007 If Lindsay, stays, fine, I'm glad; she IS "Passions" and it'd be hard for the show to live without her. But what about me?! Lol. I can't watch this damn show anymore if it's on DirecTV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted April 25, 2007 Members Share Posted April 25, 2007 Oh, R!ck, thanks for bringing up the naysayers. We sure did tell 'em, didn't we? I'd like to thank R!ck, Rion, myself, the academy... Oh, having faith ROCKS, man. Oh, but I fear there will be some TICKED OFF "AW" fans about to come out of the woodwork, lol. think about it!

Members KLN Posted April 25, 2007 Members Share Posted April 25, 2007 There's always YouTube. I expect the show to be much different on DirecTV. It'll probably have more of a telenovela format -- "seasonal" stories, as the show will likely not air year 'round -- and the cast will likely be cut in half. The other half won't stay, LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted April 25, 2007 Members Share Posted April 25, 2007 NBC must not want this news out yet. I've posted this three times on NBC's official "Passions" board and they've removed it within seconds, each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted April 25, 2007 Members Share Posted April 25, 2007 YouTube sucks, Kenny, only because soap fans (and you know this, I think, based on past posts) LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE to keep their favorite episodes. And watch them over. On TV. Not on the Internet in pixelated form. I have a whole library of favorite "Passions" episodes on tape and I'll soon cave (one day) and get a DVR so I can record the final episodes on that, for best quality. You can't do that on YouTube. So, again, YouTube sucks! My only option, as I see it, is torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted April 25, 2007 Members Share Posted April 25, 2007 ...and my account has also been temporarily suspended until May 5th for posting the information, LoL Those NBC moderators are such cunts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted April 25, 2007 Members Share Posted April 25, 2007 It's in Variety so I don't know why the hell not. There's no reason to keep it secret! In fact, if the conspiracy theory that ratings are down, even though the show is good again, due to the knowledge of looming cancellation, this would only HELP their cause!

Administrator Toups Posted April 25, 2007 Administrator Share Posted April 25, 2007 That's what a lot people, especially AW fans, said back in 1999. LOL Like I said, we don't know what the business model/show format yet. It could work if done right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted April 25, 2007 Members Share Posted April 25, 2007 I'm excited for the show because I know there will be changes, even good ones, but I'm ticked that I may be unable to see it! Anyway, will JER write this version?! Also, was this discussed in the SHOCKING, abrupt interview with the "Passions" producer that NBC was interviewing today at 4 p.m. (I only knew about this because of the little bug that flashed during today's show).

Members KLN Posted April 25, 2007 Members Share Posted April 25, 2007 The moderators are so obviously a bunch of 14 year old pubescent girls, because they're very unprofessional. They didn't offer me a warning, or a private PM or anything. Just an outright account suspension, because apparently they're too lazy to go about things the right way and don't know what the hell they're doing. I hope they're all murdered, brutally, by someone pounding them to death with their very own keyboards. Because that's just the kind of mood I'm in.

Members JER Soaps Fan Posted April 25, 2007 Members Share Posted April 25, 2007 Oh, my word! Death wishes over being kicked off the "Passions" board?! Wow. Well, unless, unless it ALSO got you suspended from all NBC forums, including, of course, "Days of Our Lives." Then I could definitely see why you'd be so pissed! It's just too extreme! Anyway, did ANYONE attend the "Passions" producer chat TODAY?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted April 25, 2007 Members Share Posted April 25, 2007 I agree with Kenny. This just won't work. First off, a godo deal of Passions fans are teens and young adults. Do you think they have the money to get DirectTV if they don't have it? DirecTV just isn't going to be good enough. It won't last and I can sure that at least half the cast and probably most of the good actors will jump off the bandwagon. How many will want to work for a show on DirecTV? They already lost Brook Kerr and if Passions loses some of the more popular actors and characters then even some of the dedicated fans won't even consider getting DirecTV for it. That is the problem. I just don't see this lasting. If it were HBO or Cinemax or something, maybe. That is more mainstream then satelite. I am a very positive person but I just don't see how this can work. I also can't blame the naysayers. Cancelled soaps hardly ever get picked up. I never said that Passions couldn't find a home. I had doubts and didn't give a good change at getting one but I never said it was hopeless. It was nearing that point though. I just think this is a bad decision if you want the show to last. Good for Passions but I doubt it will even be worth it. I wonder if NBC isn't commenting yet because the deal isn't done and the details are not worked out yet.

Members Rhiannon Posted April 25, 2007 Members Share Posted April 25, 2007 This is interesting news, time will tell who will stay, who will go; and how long each episode will be...... Just trying to read those boards at NBC was enough for me, I registered there but have never tried to post; it reminds me of the crazy goings on at the Soap City Boards.......
