PASSIONS Feature
PASSIONS's Memorable Moments
— By Naomi Rabinowitz
PASSIONS bids farewell on August 7, and in order to honor the show, here are 10 standout scenes. Look for more outstanding moments in the 8/12 issue of Soap Opera Digest (on sale 8/5) and feel free to list your favorites in our forums.
 |
Fox (Justin Hartley) and Kay (Heidi Mueller) got to draw out their romance.
— KA-CHEW PRODUCTIONS
|
1. Sheridan's Christmas Miracle, 2000
Initially, Sheridan and Luis didn't like each other, but soon fell in love. He was devastated when she was presumed dead after being assassinated by a member of a French drug cartel. However, on Christmas Eve, he learned that she and the FBI had been faking her death in order to keep her safe. Needless to say, they shared a very happy reunion and became engaged.
2. Gwen Attacks Theresa, 2000
After Gwen's "friend" Theresa managed to steal her fiancé, Ethan, out from under her nose, Gwen got out the 'ol baseball bat and tried to whack her rival. This gave us our first clue that Gwen had more than a couple of screws loose.
3. Ethan's Paternity Is Revealed, 2001
Gwen was understandably furious when Ethan became engaged to Theresa. Meanwhile, Gwen, mom Rebecca and Theresa learned that Ethan wasn't Julian's son; he was the product of an affair between Ivy and Sam. Julian revealed the truth to Ethan during Ethan and Theresa's engagement party.
4. Zombie Charity Is Born, 2002
Desperate to win Miguel away from Charity, Kay trapped her cousin in a cave and imprisoned her in a block of ice. Kay then created Charity's alter ego, "Zombie Charity," a wisecracking version of the good girl. It was a hoot to see saccharine — sweet Charity being bad — even if she was under a spell.
 |
Rebecca (Andrea Evans), Gwen (Liza Huber) and Julian (Ben Masters) as THE BOOZEBOURNES.
|
5. Julian and Timmy's Excellent Adventure, 2002
Julian was presumed dead after he was shot by Liz in the Crane cannery, however, it turned out that he was just in another land. In a Wizard Of Oz-inspired adventure, Julian helped Timmy search for the Demon Horn so that they could help free Charity from being a zombie. During this time, Julian and the living doll struck up an unlikely and endearing friendship.
6. Meet The Boozebournes, 2003
Move over, Ozzy. Paying homage to the popular reality show THE OSBOURNES, Ben Masters (Julian) portrayed Boozy, Andrea Evans (Rebecca) was Karen and Liza Huber (Gwen) was Shelly in their version of the wacky rock 'n' roll family.
7. Rebecca And Julian Get Frisky
It's difficult to pin down an exact moment or year for this, since their kinky relationship was an ongoing thing, but who could forget some of the, uh, interesting get-ups they donned while enjoying role-playing games? Their various costumes included Father Time and Baby New Year; Daddy Warbucks and Orphan Annie, and a headmaster and schoolgirl.
 |
Melissa Fahn (Young Esmerelda) and Kim Huber (Young Tabitha) do Wicked.
|
8. PASSIONS Gets Animated, 2005
As if Kay and Fox didn't have enough relationship problems! Little Endora helped put things in, uh, a different perspective for them when she accidentally zapped them into a cartoon version of a fairy tale. In this world, which included the cartoon likenesses of Tabitha, Endora, Fox, Kay and Ivy, Fox's meddling mama was a dragon ... which made dealing with a figurative "dragon lady" seem a little easier.
9. PASSIONS Does Wicked, 2007
Broadway's Wicked, the musical prequel about the witches of Oz, was the perfect show for PASSIONS to parody, given that the soap featured its own wicked witch, Tabitha. In a musical salute — which, in our opinion, was done well enough to rival the real Broadway show &mdahs; we learned about Tabby's history and her longtime rivalry with good witch Esmerelda.
10. Vincent Gives Birth, 2008
It was shocking enough when Vincent was revealed as the raping, murdering, blackmailing half-man/half-woman who was terrorizing most of Harmony — and turned out to be Eve and Julian's long-lost son. However, PASSIONS truly took this bizarre tale over the top when they had Vincent assume his female form, seduce his father and become pregnant with Julian's baby — then give birth on Eve's kitchen table. Sure, we said, "Ew!" but it kept us watching. Just not while we ate lunch.

I am totally devestated that passions will be ending on Aug 7. I have totally enjoyed the show over the past years and will miss it.
Why are you taking off one the best soap opera on television. I rate passion in the company of Dallas, Falcon crest and Dynasty. I really going to miss it badly. Too bad, every good thing must come to an end, but passion comes too quick if you asked me. I am absolutely broken hearted.
I was so upset when they cancelled Another World & swore I would never watch Passions, but then I made the mistake of catching the New Mexico storyline and got hooked on Luis and Sheridan. It's just sad(ok, it completely sucks!) that the show is ending and they were not reunited.
I cannot believe that they are canceling PASSIONS!!! I have been a LOYAL fan of PASSIONS since day 1!!!! and now they are just gonna cancel?? W.T...?? That is really just wrong! How many of my hours wasted!! I am just appalled at the fact they are just gonna cancel. Don't they care about the fan base? I really hope that they find some network to pick them up! I mean come on Days has been WAAAY out there with marlena being possessed.. come on!!! So PASSIONS has a bit of an edge, they like to be different.. Keep us all on our toes.. and tick us off.:) Thats what made PASSIONS SO GREAT TO WATCH!!! Please SOMEONE PICK THEM UP!! Go Theresa!! Your Gorgeous! :)
You didn't say anything about Theresa and Ethan. And you forgot Julian's mishap "downunder"
I hate Passions ending, but what is worse is the *way* it is ending. Luis and Sheridan as a couple kept the show going for years and now they are apart. I don't care what the writers had to do, they should have gotten back together before the show ended. With the crappy writing, maybe it is for the best the show is about to be put out of its misery.
i have to say i have been watching passions since 1999 i was 14 now i am 23 and still am i fan of the show why nbc to me passions was better than dats and i grow up on day of our lives since nbc took passions off i have stop watching the network as was as days!!!!
I Didn't watch this show that much. but as time goes on. I started getting hooked on it. But Sometimes I go off and on to watching it. But I have to say this, I'm A Days Of Our Lives Fan and That's what I'm going to be. Oh and I started crying when timmy died (r.i.p josh ryan evans). But I know that Josh Ryan Evans is ok and he's with some of the great stars of Movies, Tv, and Music Too. Such as, Robert Goulet, Luciano P, Fred Rogers, Michael Jetter, Jack Palance, And some others too. So My Wish Is That Either The USA Network Or The Sci-fi Channel could get "Passions" on their station. Thanks.
im going to miss passions so much and i heard that they will probably be airing new episodes in 2009 but only in canada on super channel unless people can go onto savepassions.com and talk to USA network you can send them a letter and savepassions.com will tell you what to say please talk to USA network they have to keep passions going
I think that everyone that was duped into subscribing to Direct TV who claimed they "saved' Passions should cancel their subscriptions in protest! Juliet Mills did a wonderful job playing Tabitha.
Goodbye Passions! I will miss all of your zany antics and the romance! Jer is great at romance! Oh and DirectTV are manipulative as&holes and the SECOND my contract is up I will be shutting them off.
I wasn't surprised with the cancellation of Passions. I began watching this show from the beginning, only to drop off when the axe of a writer started messing with the Shuis storyline (I believe there was a boat explosion). At this time, I turned it off. I recorded each episode faithfully to watch them over and over for years. I have since taped over some of the episodes that weren't worth keeping. There are two that I will forever keep: New Year's Eve 1999 where Sheridan was taken hostage on the rooftop and Sheridan's Christmas Miracle. The chemistry these two actors created will never be emulated again on daytime. Too bad Reily had to butcher a good show. Farewell Passions! You were a breath of fresh air at one time. Good luck to all the actors, especially to Galen and McKenzie.
I'm so upset that Passions is cancelled. I watched for years when they were on NBC. I caught a few episodes on Direct Tv but it just wasn't the same. I really enjoyed that show. I loved all of the actors. I wish them all the best.
I've been a die-hard passions fan for years and I am really saddened by the fact that PASSIONS last episode is next week.Passions was a big part in my life and I will really miss all the actors(past and present)(RIP Josh Ryan Evans).I just hope Passions ends with a bang because after all,us Loyal Passions fans deserve it for all those years of support!!!!!!!!Also I want to thank everyone who made the show possible,through all the good and bad times and Passions will be very missed!!!!!!!!!!!
NBC is not to be trusted. They had Another World, Santa Barbara, and Passions. I watched them all quite faithfully!!! And all met the same fate. They cut them off the air! I'd say watch out Days of Our Lives....NBC is ruled by a bunch of idiots that can not make good choices and disregard their constituants/veiwers. Maybe the high ups at NBC need counselling and eds....seems them can't handle commitments and veiwer expectations of them. To he cast of PASSIONS: sorry you got shrt handed by NBC, don't take it personal....they have screwed everyone else just the same that came before you. Keep our heads high, you had my vote and many many others. Direct TV needs their heads checked. Good luck to thw cast much success to you all.
i love this show it makes me feel better about myself we should save this daytime gem by signing a petiton and writing letters
It is sad that Passions is being canceled because it has the best and most diverse cast of actors and actresses with a true flare for soap opera drama transporting viewers into the lives of the citizens of Harmony. I will miss watching the show and I am looking forward to seeing the cast in other endeavors because they all deserve to remain in front of the camera. Hopefully, a spin-off show will be produced with shorter story lines, and just as fun to watch as the original. Reality based soap operas are not worth watching because viewers see the realism of life on the daily local news.
I was saddened when Passions was cancelled and watched faithfully since the beginning. it seemed like you became a part of the families and waiting anxiously for the next days show. I wish all the great actors and actresses the best and hope to see them in another show real soon. Sad day to see a great show end.
What can I say? Incredibly sad and bummed out forever might do it justice. I will forever miss PASSIONS. James E. Reilly rocks for giving us this awesome show. Ethan and Theresa are the best supercouple ever! Long live ET, baby! I loved the campy, zaniness of this original soap opera. DirecTV should be tarred and feathered for cancelling PASSIONS after convincing SO many loyal fans to join their service. The eternal optimism in me will always hope and pray that some day, our beloved PASSIONS will rise again. To Ethan and Theresa, and the awesomeness that was Harmony, WE LOVE YOU and MISS YOU!!! See you on the PASSIONS Cruise in October. Spread the word!!!
I have to say my husband got me stuck on watching Passions b/c I am a CBS soap fan but since I started watching you all which was three years ago I have made a schedule to get all of my channels of soaps in and still know what's happening. I'm sad that Passions is coming to an end but at the same glad that Teresa is not dead again and that she finally got her lifetime dream I wish Passions ther could be more episodes just to give them two a chance to live on showbiz as a couple because I really think that they would create a whole new soap that just involves the Lopez-Fitzgerald family and Ethan as the stars of the show. All left to say is YOU ALL DID a GREAT JOB starrting in Passions even that sneaker traitor Gwen and her mom.
i am so saddened that passions is being cancelled. it is my favourite tv show.one of the good things about passions is that it demonstrates so many realities in life for example it always leaves us in suspense just like living life in suspense always wondering what will happen from day to day living:expectations. thanks to my two favourite fans theresa and ethan congratsssssssss
I will never understand why the good shows come to an end. Look at Days Of our lives and General Hospital they have been around for years and years and they had many stupid shows. There should be no reason for Passions to end. I was really hoping Ethan would have found out about little Ethan well before the show ended. I just had the funny feeling that everything was going to come out as an end. We should have been able to see that family grow. It will be sad to see them go and hope the show does return some day soon. Only 2 shows I watch and that is Days and Passions. Now what am I going to do with no 2pm shows. :(
OMG! OMG! Why and when did they decide to take Passions off the air? Do they not realize how many thousands of fans are truly dissapointed! Especially when Theresa can finally be with Ethan, they go and pull a dumn a@@ move like that. I agree with the many others out there and hope that someone will be wise enough to pick them up and continue the show, after all this is an out rage. After all it appears that we are all loyal fans and when they decided to switch Passions over to Supper Chanel it is clear that many of us did not mind paying the extra money to be able to continue viewing it, that should have told the producers something... Maybe we will be fortunate and they will come back and continue were they left off hey maybe even returning them from there big "family vacation", that would be great... I guess we just need to keep our fingers crossed!
To Rosie, I watched Days and AW and than Sunset Beach and than Passions. I would have liked Passions better if they would have moved the "passion" in the right directions. Scrolling thru channels one day in 2000 I stopped on One Life to Live and have been hooked since. You might want to try filling in your 2:00 hour checking out the show.
I love passions. It is the only program that I see with my husband Len together always. We got direct TV and Tevo so that we can record and watch when we are not home. So why take it off the air when there are so many viewers and fans that go out of their way to watch it? Please continue don't take it away. We love you. Alicia & Len
DirecTV please pick up Passions this could not hurt you to pick up another 52 episodes. I subscribed to your network provider just because of Passion. Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
I have been watching Passions since it started and I was 10 now im 19 and im sad to see it go, but im really happy that the truth is out about gwen and rebecca. I've waited a long time for that to come out!!~
THIS SUCKS...... I said I would never get hooked on a soap. Well Passions hooked me 4 years ago when I was pregant with my first child. Whats up with the net works? Wake up and sign this show back on. Direct T.V you should be ashamed of yourself, you took advantage of all of these loyal fans. I wish the best to all the cast members and writers.
WHAT!!!!!!!!Passions is going off the air. When did that happend? I switched to Direct TV ONLY to continue to watch Passions. I am veryyyy upset!!!!!I Love Eithen & Tereza. Not to mention Tabatha, and Endora what a couple. This is the ONLY soap that makes me Laugh. Good luck to all the cast members. I hope the cast members join Days of our lives. That's my other favorite soap. This is definatly NOT the happy ending I was expecting for Passions.
I'm sooo sad Passions is leaving. that show had the best MAN CANDY!!! No other soap would have their leading men take their shirts off for a week just to look for Teresa. Who am I going to drool over now :( Please someone hire those leading men!
I am so hurt about passions going off the air I. love lindsey Hartley and Ethan they were my fav at least NBC allowed them to be together and marry at the end. this really sucks .
I,m so upset found out today that passions was being cancelled i lost my mom last year and I love the show so much I feel like I lost my best friends. i just cyed its was the best show every I wished it could last has long as days 0ver 40 years. its so awesome it needs to come back soon as possible I love theresa ,ethan, and all of them . I will miss the show more than anything tv will never be the same for me.can we do anything to bring that show back and the people too!because thats the only show I would really sit down too to watch. best soap ever!!!!!!!!!!! directv someone nbc please put this show back together!!!!!!!!!!
i am very upset passions got cancelled there was no notice or anything.I think it was a scam to get all the loyal fans to switch over to direct tv and everyone should go back to cable. Direct tv kick rocks. Passions needs to go back to the Sci-fi or soap net channel and they should do marathons of the old shows from season 1 up.
i have sat here an read what everyone had to say about passions,i think when you come right down to passions got a raw deal with direct tv. they agreed to sign with DIRECT TV then they got the screws put to them again.but guess what i hope everyone that sign up with direct tv will cancel when the 2 years are up that is what i'm going to do. i wish everyone from passions the best of luck and hope to see all on days. we can use some new family's on the show.
I agree this sucks. what about the loyal fans. we love the story as crazy as they got i loved them this is such a load of crap
I AM SO SICK THAT PASSIONS IS OVER! WHEN I THOUGHT THERESA DIED I LITERALLY CRIED. I WAS DEVASTATED. I AM GOING TO MISS PASSIONS AND MOST OF ALL THERESA AND ETHAN. THEY WERE MY FAVORITE. I STARTED WATCHING PASSIONS IN 1999 AND I WAS 19, I AM NOW 28 AND STILL WAS FAITHFULLY WATCHING. I AM DEVASTATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:(
fofo-Bahamas I will miss passions i enjoyed that show but good luck to the cast. HOpe to see u guys on another show. Espicially(ALL MY CHRILDREN, ONE LIFE TO LIVE, GENERAL HOSPIAL or DAYS OF OUR LIVES).
I am another sad soap fan. First of all, I did not even know Passions was ending. For all of us who ordered DirecTV to watch Passions, I agree we should all cancel. Good luck to all the cast, we've enjoy you so much.
I can't stop crying...it's like someone died. WHY??? Come on, 1 million viewers isn't enough? They should have been courageous enough to turn Passions into a prime time soap...HELLO that would have pulled at least another million!!! People watch more TV at night...especially those who would totally be into PASSIONS!!!!!
the most memorable moment is gwen FINALLY getting caught in all her evil lies and threats. too bad it didn't happen until the very last episode.
I Love Passions, I dont understand why this soap has been taking off the air, first it was on NBC and then got moved to DirectTV, So I got DirectTV for passion's because I am a true fan, now they are taking it off the air! That is F***** up! I want to know how we can get passions back on air! Does anybody know?
I turn on my T.V. and no Passions!!! I can't believe this. No notice either. I'm very angry.
Good luck to the cast of Passions. It was a good and worthwhile show with unusual storylines (I am still in shock over Vincent being Julian Crane's son by Eve) and watching all the good looking guys every day! As for Direct TV, they are a traitor and should be charged with treason!
Why did you take Passions away from us?? It was a good mix of fiction, romance, adventure and silly fun to keep any viewer interested. The only soap that I never missed an episode of, I recorded it while I was as work and watched it in the evening. I am really disappointed in the decision that was made by who ever took the initiative to remove Passions. The cast itself was always exceptional in their specific parts. They made Passions what it become a historical land mark for soaps. Please bring it back somewhere on TV. I already miss it!!!!
I am more than devastated that Passions is gone. I have never been so sad about any other series I have watched. What hurts also is that I have not been able to find any active website that the actors may respond to. I cannot believe the loss I feel of my favorite soap ever.
I am so disappointed that passions is done. I got hooked when I was off of work for surgery in 2004 and since then haven't missed an episode. I subscribed to Directv for one reason only PASSIONS! What's up with ending the show? Seriously thinking about ending Directv after this stunt was pulled!!!
Passions started off great, but as the time went on the writers got stupid. The show did not interest me any more. Going to Direct TV was a stupid move. The smart people did not go, by the way what happend to the black people. Happy you are finally off. good riddens
I HATE directv!!!!!!!!! save passions my a!%!!! how about duped us loyal passions fans into switching to directv and then cancelling our favorite show....well guess what i am going back to cable and i will NEVER use directv again! I cant believe we are losing the most fun and original campy soap on tv come on it was so much fun! I cried watching the last episode. thank God Gwen finally got what was coming to her and that Ethan and Theresa finally said I do.
To the noodleheads that think their brains know what is best for other people. If you had taken a toll you may have a difference of opinion. I watched Passions from day 1.I hope that you don't to want to put such talent without a job and put a lot of people that were told untruths so they would have to get H-D TV just to watch their favorite Soap. So I stopped watching Days also. Think about the people who love that show who don't have anything to do now,so don't put another one out. You"ll only screw up again.
I really loved Passions. Why ? Did it have to end like this? I have watched it since it came on. You could have given us an Ending that we could have dealt with. But not like this.
Bring Back Passions Please. Direct TV SUCKS!!!!!@!!
I loved passions also and I thought that anyone who subscribed to diect tv would get two years of passions!!! Yeah right!!! What else is on the 101? Nothing but garbage!!! I only recorded one music show matt kearney but I recorded passions everday and I have the last episode saved!!! I even taped them for 3 other people who did not get dtv so they could see the end!!! What other soap or tv show could make you laugh so much? None at all!!! I loved all the fights between the women and the only thing wrong with passions is that it drug out way too long the secrets instead of coming up with more and moving along!!! What other soap would have someones penis cut off and re-attatched backwards? Norma and Edna were hilarious!!! I was hoping that when sheridan turned bad that she would have been beth who got plastic surgery to look like sheridan to get luis! also vincent and vicki should have ran into juanita that would have been good also! I should have been a writer on passions it could still be on!!!!!!!!
I have been a Passions fan since Day One, but have not always been able to watch every episode.That is why I am wondering if this amazing show will ever be released on DVD? If anyone knows anything, please email me! I would buy the entire show in a heartbeat!!!
I have to agree that i'm disappointed that Passions was canceled from NBC and then from DirectTV. I have watched Passions since day one, however, didn't always get to watch every show. However, I wasn't going to pay for DirectTv to watch it and I'm now glad I didn't. I agree also that it was a scam from DirectTV's part to get people to buy their serivce. I too watched Sunset Beach and Another World as well. NBC has canceled several series or don't give them enough time because the ratings are not there. I really enjoyed shows such as Third Watch E-Ring and Surface were great shows but were only on for one season. I have to say that the only show I watch on NBC is now DOOL. I don't even bother watching any of the new shows because they will get canceled anyway. But all good things must come to an end. However, I'd have to say some storylines were dumb and I didn't watch because they were stupid.
Bring back passions.I miss watching already.Someone do something to bring it back.
I loved passions..its the first soap I ever started watching!! I watched from the beginning!!! I was sooo mad when they switched it to Direct TV!! Like everyones gonna change their service for a soap..even though it is the most entertaining one for the young people!! If they would have kept it on regular T.V. then maybe it wouldnt be getting canceled!! DONT CANCEL PASSIONS..BRING IT BACK TO NORMAL T.V.!!!!!
I haven't got to watch Passions since they switched it to direct.tv, but I loved the show. yeah, it was kind of crazy, but the cast is what made it. I can't belive their cancelling it now....however I did see that Ethan is now on Day's of our Lives. I thought I Luis on there too, but no matter what you see them on it will never be the same. Save Passions and bring it back to normal t.v. There are a lot of other more stupid shows making it....Day's get's kind of crazy too, so come one people.....before you cancel a show, take a poll.....I'm tired of watching good shows get cancelled and stupid shows like The Office stay on the air. Passions deserves to be back on the air. SAVE PASSIONS!!
I have been a loyal fan to passions I started watching it since day one. Though I was not able to get direct tv I kept up with it on the internet on my phone. I. Was very upset when I first heard they were cancelling it on nbc to make more time for a morning show witch sucks anyways and I have to say they never even did that they replaced passions for a crossword puzzle show!!! I used to watch nbc all the time I even watched sunset beach and that got cancelled. NBC DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO MAKE GOOD CHOICES THAT IS WHY THEIR PROFITS ARE LOW. Since passions has not aired on nbc I don't give it the time anymore. I have and will boycott that network. But now that I got that off my chest I wish the best for those actors they were all my favorite(my real faves were theresa and etha) even though their characters did get on my nerves every once in a while (luis and sheridon). And I hope someone will pick them up and I would pay anything to buy all the episodes that passions have. I will miss you.
u suck for taking passions off the air
Will passions ever be on DVD? I mean, yall switched it to direct TV and now it’s off air. I miss this show so much it's not even funny. Everything in the show was awesome!!! Me and my sister loved watchin it, and I use to get a few guy friends to watch it with us...lol... a lot of people like watching drama, they need to put it on DVD so we can see everything that happens on it. We love the drama!!! Please email me and let me know if I should look out for a DVD or not. Please and thank you.
OMG!!! If any of u guys know when passions will come back on tv please post! Last year there said on august 11th 2008 they said it was there last episode!!! I heard from some people that it might be coming in august 2009 but if any of u have the exact date please tell me!!!
