Yeah I mean Passions was definitely a cult classic & was my introduction to the soap world as a young millennial but re-watching this show as a grown adult, I realize just how much of it was hot garbage. There were good things about it but there’s a reason why most of Passions audience were so young. The S/L’s were stupid and there was hardly ever any payoff to any of them. If you compare any other soap to Passions around this time, it’s obvious JER was not giving us intelligent soap writing whatsoever. It was lazy… and I don’t have a problem with campy. It was just poorly done.
The amount of episodes that went on of Luis and Sheridan getting so close to telling Antonio the “truth” about their love, just for something super dumb to stop it is ridiculous. Or all the times Theresa would almost tell Ethan he’s little Ethan’s father but Pilar or someone else would stop it. Beyond frustrating! It actually got progressively worst over time. They probably had the best years right in the beginning because the budget was atleast there.
