I hate to say this, but as much as I would love to see the show continue, It would probably be in everyone's interests to let the show go. Suppose it does get picked up by another network, who's to say it won't get cancelled again 6 months after that. I think it's time to just say goodbye to "Passions." I won't be happy about it, but I'm just glad this show was a part of my life for the past 9 years. I wish the cast and crew good luck in their future endeavors.

It would be in everyone's interests to let the show go? Not mine!

I just hope Andrea Evans gets sick of this and leaves PASSIONS for good and returns to ONE LIFE as Tina Lord. She deserves much, much better than the crap that is PASSIONS.

I'm afraid Ms. Evans would'nt get nearly the airtime that she got 20-25 years ago. OLTL has changed drastically since she was last on. A lot of stories now go to younger characters and Tina would likely be nothing more than a supporting player now, much like Erica Kane is now on AMC.

That is what Andrea would want. If she were to go back to OLTL, I doubt she would back away from only being on recurring like she was on Passions. Being on recurring allows her to devote time to her work with Breast Cancer research. That is why she never signed a contract with Passions. I doubt that would change if she were to go back to OLTL.

IF Passions does go on Oxgyen then I bet JER has to do some changes to the show because Oxygen is going to remain a channel for women enpowerment according to a recent article I read.

And also he will definately has to do some major changes to Vincent's storyline due to the fact he portray him negatively. Perhaps Vincent might seek some help and the child he carrying isn't Julians nor Chad's.

the last thing NBC/Oxgyen wants is to pissed off their already core audience with some of the degrading that I seen on Passions.

Obviously Vanguardian, you must not watch ONE LIFE much. Several 40 & over 40 castmembers of ONE LIFE are front & center, including Robin Strasser(Dorian), Erika Slezak(Viki), Jerry verDorn(Clint), Hillary B. Smith(Nora), Kassie DePaiva(Blair), Robert S. Woods(Bo) & Kamar de los Reyes(Antonio), plus Tuc Watkins(David), Peter Barlett(Nigel), with Ilene Kristen(Roxy), Catherine Hickland(Lindsay), Hunt Block(Ramsey) & more getting quite a bit of airtime. So Andrea Evans would do very well on this show even though she's 45ish.

What I meant was the cast and crew's interests. Seriously, would you wanna stay on a sinking ship that's been cancelled twice in one year with a slim chance of being picked up by a third network? Don't get me wrong, I love the show and I want to see it continue, but if it doesn't, then the cast and crew can move on to bigger and better pastures.

They'd find a way to not use her or mis-use her, believe me! And if she can't be anything close to the Tina she once was, like I don't think she would be, then there's no point. Furthermore, didn't she say on numerous occasions that she's very happily drawn to L.A.? If Passions ends that doesn't mean she'll automatically go prancing back to NY-based OLTL. BTW, you said that Andrea deserves better than Passions? This actress has had a thousand opportunities to return to OLTL if she wanted to. I understand that over the years, OLTL has tried voraciously to get her back even long before she landed on Passions, but she kept declining. I assume she was/is happy on that crap Passions.

That's exactly what it means.

Maybe with past headwriters like Dena Hackley, this would be true. But its pretty damn obvious Ron C. has a hard on for the vets and uses them often and in amazing ways.

That's a GOOD thing.

And the REASON she didn't return to OLTL for years even though the offer was there is because of her stalker incident that led to her departure in the first place.

Today, she'd probably be more than willing to return to a show of actual quality and integrity if the offer was right. Especially since Ron is almost guaranteed to treat Tina with total respect and pen great story for her.

I agree, why wouldnt she go back to OLTL? It, along with B&B, is the best soap and the only one making fans happy.

A thought just crossed my mind...

...

What if we see Alice Horton before the Olympics say "I'm searching for all the days of my life. And I can't wait." With the cast giving final goodbyes, etc.

And then, during the squeeze credits, we see ads during the Olympics with the cast of PASSIONS playing with each other and that Erasure song playing.

"You loved, you missed it...it's back! PASSIONS returns to NBC after Beijing!"

bellcurve, that MADE MY F'ING DAY!!! Hilarious!

Don't get me wrong, I love "Days" -- not to mention daytime's BEST story, currently: the Ford Decker mystery -- but that would be HILARIOUS! And I would LOVE to see "Passions" promos on NBC, as it trumpets the triumphant return of daytime's most unique soap opera!

That will happen right after hell freezes over. NBC wants out of the soap business so they aren't going to bring back PASSIONS if they cancel DAYS.

Anyways, I saw over at soaps.com their is a Cruise for PASSIONS fans basically the Farewell to Harmony Cruise. So someone doesn't have hope.
