DIE JOBS
10 Memorable PASSIONS Deaths

Dying is never easy, but it's nearly impossible on PASSIONS — mainly because most characters return from the dead eventually. Even so, the show has been rather creative in crafting characters' ends (or "ends" as the case may be). As the show nears its final days, here's a look back at 10 memorable deaths. And for more on Theresa's presumed death at sea, check out the 2/19 issue of Soap Opera Digest. MORE

Clothes Make the Half-Man/Half-Woman

"It's been complicated," admits PASSIONS costume designer Diana Eden about dressing the show's cross-dressing blackmailer. "It's a very tricky costume.
