Members ClassicSoapsFan Posted July 24, 2017 Members Share Posted July 24, 2017 Paloma from what I heard was eventually recast and the life got drained from her. I don't think Paloma #2 ever appeared on the NBC version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LostinHarmony Posted July 25, 2017 Members Share Posted July 25, 2017 I'm surprised the soap blogs aren't covering the reunion. Here are some write ups I found... Soap Opera Digest: http://www.soapoperadigest.com/photos/passions-fan-festival/ LA Weekly: http://www.laweekly.com/arts/fans-celebrate-passions-the-weirdest-soap-opera-in-the-history-of-daytime-tv-8459016 Lena Cardwell (original Simone) has finally come out of hiding! She looks good. Brook Kerr literally never ages. Donn Swaby on the other hand lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRfan23 Posted August 14, 2017 Members Share Posted August 14, 2017 I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but I still wish the original NBC broadcasts of the shows firsts 2-3 years was around...that has all the original music that was heard and not tampered with like CTV/Global/Superchannel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LostinHarmony Posted August 15, 2017 Members Share Posted August 15, 2017 Has anyone heard about a new Passions spinoff in the works called Castleton? That's the same town Charity and Faith lived in before the fire. i was told it was brought up during the Passions Reunion and social media. Anyone know anything about this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted August 16, 2017 Members Share Posted August 16, 2017 That's interesting! If true I wonder if we would see most of the cast?? To quote Eva Tamargo, it sounds like it would be a good hulu or Netflex show.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LostinHarmony Posted May 29, 2018 Members Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) Please register in order to view this content Reading this early preview of Passions makes Theresa sound like a vixen. Also, interesting to note Jason Olive’s role of Frank seems like it was meant to be bigger. It lists his character name as Frank Petito which ends up being Frank Lomax.

Members Soaplovers Posted May 29, 2018 Members Share Posted May 29, 2018 Which character was the most wasted (i.e. had the most potential that was never realized). On a show that never really wrote a character to their fullest potential, that's a tough one to answer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted May 30, 2018 Members Share Posted May 30, 2018 She wasn't? She certainly manipulated enough and caused so much trouble that they should have made her a full-on villainess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LostinHarmony Posted May 31, 2018 Members Share Posted May 31, 2018 I would love to see Jim Reilly’s bible for this show and see how much things changed. Rewatching the early episodes it seems as though they’re setting up a Frank and Whitney romance but then he disappears and Chad hits the scene. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted May 31, 2018 Members Share Posted May 31, 2018 I would have to say Grace and Charity. I have always given any new soap a watch for at least the first year. However, I remember that when I checked back in for the introduction of Paloma and the return of Martin that neither Grace nor Charity was on the show. This was odd given that first year centered on those two characters. I have a hypothesis that as a writer it would be difficult to have both good and bad witches on the same show. Once either Charity or Grace knew about their powers, which was inevitable, there wouldn't be soap plot that they couldn't immediately solve. If murder mysteries, long lost children, and unrequited lovers could all be magically resolved there would be no dramatic tension. So, that's my theory why all of the good witched were written out in the first few years and no other magical forces of good were ever introduced. It does not explain the build up for the return of Martin that wound up not having any impact on the story. Or the continuing references to Allister sexually abusing Theresa that turned me off Passions for good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
