It's the power of James E. Reilly. :D

I bet a certain AW fan is going to blow when he reads about this news. ;)

Now, I think airing at 2pm is a bad idea. They have a chance to get the younger market be airing after school. A 3pm or 4pm timeslot would've been perfect.

I really hope Global is able to pick up the show.

Passions is still more or less going to be dead to most people who watch it now since not many people are going to switch to DirecTV just to see Passions . Also, how many people will want to continue to discuss what is happening on the show on a message board when they can't see the show so most people probably won't care anymore who is doing what on Passions.

Galen Gering may have another offer.

TV GUIDE - The Suds Report

Passions (Global/NBC) – Galen Gering: Y&R-bound?

It was only a matter of time: Galen Gering (Luis) was spotted at Y&R’s CBS studios. Word on the set is daytime’s No. 1 soap is seriously interested in signing the hunky actor when Passions leaves the air this September.

I don't see how this is much of a victory, I mean it's continuing on Direct TV, and like it's been said, not many people are going to subscribe to DTV just to be able to watch Passions.

It would be more of a Victory if it was continuing on Fox or The CW or something.

Anyways congrats to those Passions fans that will actually get to see the show continue on...

Rion, tone it down. This is not a victory. It merely puts your show on life support. Period. Yes, great that Passions is living on but how do you expect it to last when hardly anyone will see it in the broad scheme of things?

That NBC release is nice and I am glad it is still an hour but the key to that release was the MAJORITY of the cast. That means alot of them could still leave. Kerr will jump ship if that pilot gets picked up and we already know Andrea Evans was in talks with OLTL. Lindsey's contract is up and I still wonder if she will stay. I think Emily may consider jumping too.

As for GG, I think he is contracted until winter 2008 because I thought his new two year deal took effect when he returned from haitus. I may be wrong. If it took effect when he signed it in May 2005, it would be up next month and that would mean to me that he would jump ship too since he always has tense negotiations.

Also, let's not make this discussion too heated. There is no need to be insulting, sarcastic, or to be trying instigating trouble. We all have differing opinions and dislikes so let's be understanding of those. Thanks.
