Passions isn't "renewed." It was never on DirecTV or its network, so how can a network "renew" a show that was never there on their lineup in the first place? The show will have been finished for a week before it's RESURRECTED on DirecTV. You can't have a resurrection without first having a death -- CANCELLATION.

Yes, the show was CANCELLED -- by NBC. It will no longer be airing on NBC. NBC has cancelled it from their lineup. It might have gotten picked up by DirecTV, on some never-before-heard-of network, but on NBC, it has been cancelled.

It hasn't been cancelled because production hasn't ceased...new episodes are being produced for the fans to watch. The only difference is that it's airing on DirecTV. If Passions were cancelled, everyone would be out of a job and we wouldn't have a show to watch.

Kenny, you are just as wrong as King.

Definition of...

CANCELLATION:

1.) The act of erasing or the condition of being erased.

2.) An often formal act of putting an end to.

IN BRIEF: The act of calling off.

NBC has erased it from their lineup.

NBC has put an end to the show ON THEIR NETWORK.

There's no law saying that production has to be ceased in order for cancellation to occur. The show has been cancelled ON NBC. I didn't say that it wouldn't continue on elsewhere, in perhaps a new form, or that it would never be seen again someplace else on television, but ON NBC, it IS cancelled.

Maybe "the board" should take some action and get some balls and ban people who deserve to be banned and who ruin SON for everyone who has been here for 5 plus years.

But I am done with this. So sick of stupidity on SON.

Well, the bottom line is that the network found the show to be useless enough to remove it from their lineup. NBC cancelled any further airings after September 7th, or whenever. In the literal sense, Passions was cancelled by a network. Yes, resurrected on another... but also cancelled by the original.

Whatever. This is pointless! LoL The end result is the same. Passions will live on to die out on some tiny cable network that nobody watches through a cable provider that nobody uses... but at least it's no longer part of the daytime lineup. Perhaps it can mold itself as the "dramedy" that it was always meant to be on cable, because a SOAP OPERA -- a genuine SOAP OPERA -- it isn't!

    • I feel like Kelly's recent Variety interview confirmed for me that the tabloids no longer have any power over the media. Kathy Lee was raked over the coals by the tabloids.  There were weekly covers with unflattering photos of her yelling.  And for what?  She was a perky host with a successful commercial career who built two live-in health clinics for people with AIDS.  In retrospect, we know that the constant cruise commercials and KMart clothes were probably used to supplement her lack of income from Live.  When she was involved in a child labor scandal, her response changed the industry and she replied immediately.  When her husband publically cheated with an airline hostess, she stayed on the air and maintained her composure.  Yet, she was the punching bag of the National Inquirer for years.  Kelly learned from Kathy Lee's experience and avoided tabloid drama.  She would appear occasionally, but there wasn't much traction, nor fodder for trash media critiques.  However, 20 years ago, this interview would have made her a front-page staple. The tabs hate whenever a woman expresses a need for equity in pay.  They would have dragged her as an avarice villain who forced her co-stars out of their jobs, rather than recognizing her as one of the longest-running daytime hosts (Regis hosted for 22 years, and Kelly has been there for 23) who deserves some respect. 
    • Well given the rumors I can see why. Monyetta (and foine Heath) supposingly stepped up. And then new girl Courtney was gunning for that peach. Surprised she did not get 7th Housewife place.   I don't think the FOHs on RHOA have been this important since Season 6.     
    • Ryan's Hope had to endure a lot of recasts, but I found the ones I saw mostly worked.  Mary Ryan - Of course Kate Mulgrew was a star in the role, but I feel like had they stuck with Mary Carney, they would've been fine. I guess the pressure of recasting such an important character got to them which is what led to Kathleen Tolan who was dreadful and probably killed any interest in the character. Nicolette Goulet was fine, but I was over Mary at that point. Siobhan Ryan - Sarah Felder was EXCELLENT and should've never been fired for such stupid reasons, but I loved Ann Gillespie in the role. Marg Helgenberger was loved in the role (although not a personal favorite). I also though the last Siobhan (Barbara Blackburn) was good she just needed more time. Frank Ryan - This was probably their most successfully recast role. I always liked Frank regardless of who played him. Daniel Hugh Kelly was my favorite, but they were all good. I know the original gets mixed reviews, but I didn't mind him either. The only Ryan kid they absolutely could not recast was Pat. None of the recasts felt like the same character to me. It wasn't that they were bad actors, but they weren't Pat.
