Synopsis

Passions is an American television soap opera which aired on NBC from July 5, 1999 to September 7, 2007 and on The 101 Network from September 17, 2007 to August 7, 2008. Passions follows the lives and loves, and various romantic and paranormal adventures of the residents of Harmony. Story-lines center around the interactions among members of its multi-racial core families — the African American Russells, white Cranes and Bennetts, and half-Mexican half-Irish Lopez-Fitzgeralds — as well as the supernatural including town witch Tabitha Lenox. Created by writer James E. Reilly and produced by NBC Studios, the series was subsequently picked up by direct broadcast satellite service DirecTV, which broadcast new episodes airing on its exclusive channel The 101. In December 2007, DirecTV decided not to renew its contract for the series, and the studio was unable to sell the show elsewhere. The final episode aired on DirecTV on August 7, 2008.

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Catherine_Grace_Zeh Ah, yes. I can remember not too long ago. At that time, one thing I would do each weekday was watch this classic soap opera. From that moment on, I was hooked on it. In addition, If you ask me, Alistair (John D. Reilly) really is diabolical. You would have to have seen some of the things he's done if you want to know why. I also enjoyed the days when Luis (Galen Gering) was on the show. Ever since Beth (Kelly McCarty) left the show, I haven't watched it as much. You'd have to have seen the show between 1999 and 2005 if you want to know why. However, this is still a good soap opera. In conclusion, I highly recommend this classic soap opera to all you die-hard NBC fans.
Michael Scotts If ever you thought television couldn't sink so low, watch this incredible tripe. You will sit - open mouthed - as you watch scene-after-scene get worse than the one before.It calls itself a drama, but I have watched it just to cheer myself up on a dismal day.The dreadful acting is only surpassed by whomsoever called him/herself a scriptwriter. I would not be at all surprised if the orangutan - yes, there's an orangutan - wrote the scripts, but I reckon it would do a better job.Poor John Mills will be spinning in his grave to see his daughter Juliett playing a ditsy witch named Tabatha. And 'Tabatha' isn't the only character the mediocre scriptwriters have stolen from the 'Bewitched' television series of the 60s. You will also find 'Hecuba' and even the farcical 'Dr Bombay', played by the original actor! Then there was the 'living doll' Timmy who, when he came alive, talked of himself in the third person and with a terrible lisp, whilst wearing gloves stolen from a Mickey Mouse marionette. (The poor actor has since died.) No, for a fun afternoon watching a car crash, tune in to Passions... it's like Little Britain and The Office rolled into one, but without the intentional comedy.
Syl I have been a found of Juliet Mills since I was a child. Little did I know that she would marry the gorgeous and 18 year old her junior, Maxwell Caulfield, from Grease 2. Not only that, they have been almost 25 years too. Besides, Juliet Mills' Tabitha would delight her departed godfather Lord Laurence Oliver and her godmother Vivien Leigh. Her acting father, Sir John Mills, should have guested once on this show. He died recently at 97 years old. While I am crazy about Juliet too, the show has improved since it's debut in 1999. I really wish Juliet won the Emmy Award last night. Without her, this show would have bite the dust like All My Children without Susan Lucci. I hope we can honor Juliet by getting her something else like an M.B.E.(Member of the British Empire). The last British born actress in daytime to receive this honor was Anna Lee in 1982 from Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. I know an M.B.E. is a lower honor than an O.B.E.(Officer of the British Empire), a C.B.E.(Commander of the British Empire) or Dame Commander of the British Empire but Juliet should be rewarded with something. Since nobody at All My Children appears not to care about Eileen Herlie who has played Myrtle Fargate since the seventies, maybe the Passions fans would be more willing to do something. It only costs postage! There is nothing much more than that. There is no $15,000 to upkeep a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame which Juliet deserves too. Anybody who knows anything about an M.B.E. knows that it goes to ordinary people who do extraordinary things or for years of service. But for soaps even in England, the M.B.E. has been bestowed upon British actors on Coronation Street and EastEnders. Please help me do something to honor this special lady.
Demented- Every episode I notice this every time, i'm pretty sure you have noticed it too. They keep showing the same flashbacks over and over, no problem right? But they also keep repeating the same lines... Like to summarize the story.. That really got annoying but i think its good for the people who didn't watch it, so they'd pretty much know the story. Also it's annoying when there is a scene, take for example when finding out if its Gwen or Thereasas baby, old i know but then it took like 3 episodes.. that got annoying they did it for two more but it got old.. Passions is great tho but hearing the repeats get annoying. By the way, Gwen going crazy makes it interesting.
