PASSIONS WEEK OF APRIL 7, 2008 RECAPS

Week of Monday, April 07, 2008

Ben Masters
— NBC

Tuesday, April 08, 2008

At the Crane mansion, Ivy, Gwen and Ethan instructed "Gertrude" on how to care for the kids. Little Ethan wondered why his new nanny looked so familiar and cried out "Mom." Gertrude covered from him, explaining that he was just answering her question about where he got his brown eyes from. Ethan approved of Gertrude working for them. She agreed to begin that evening. Gwen named a really low salary, so hopefully she was joking. After, Theresa and Little E shared a moment. Later, Gert enjoyed spending time with the two Ethans. Meanwhile, Gwen feared that Gertrude would scare the kids because she was so homely (way to be shallow, Gwen!), but Rebecca pointed out that it was better to have someone who Ethan wouldn't be attracted to.... Ethan and "Gertrude" continued to bond as he told her about Theresa.

At the hospital, Eve and Vincent, disguised as a nurse, continued operating on Julian. One of the other nurses was suspicious when Eve began staggering around, but Vincent covered for her. As a wobbly Eve operated, Vincent thought to himself how he was finally going to get revenge on his father. Eve got sentimental as she handled Julian's organ. "I'll always have my memories," she sighed. The other nurse pointed out that the penis was now on upside-down, but Vincent told her to keep quiet. Eve also wasn't sure it was being done right, but Vincent assured her that she was doing fine. Later, Eve conked out right on the operating table and the other nurse again argued with Vincent. Vincent solved his problem by grabbing the nurse by her arm and dragging her out of the room.

At the police station, Fancy, Luis and Sam tried to figure out who the attacker was. Pretty arrived and tried to guess which organ of her father's had been stabbed. "He severed his penis!" Sam blurted out. Fancy and Pretty were left speechless. Sam explained that Eve was operating on him and urged the ladies to stay strong. Later, Pretty told Fancy that she was going to give up on Luis, but Fancy didn't believe her. After, Pretty suddenly fainted.

Rebecca was alarmed when she received a call about Julian and learned what had happened to him. Rebecca headed out to see Julian at the hospital. There, she tried to comfort her unconscious sometimes-lover. "If anyone can bring Little Julian back, I can," she stated. "I'm going to be there for you — and Little Julian. That someone hacked at you is sick! It's like trying to cut down the mighty Sequoia or trying to tumble the Washington Monument." Becks finally peeked under his blanket and was shocked by what she saw.

I dont have access to the dtv to watch passion i wish you would bring back where I could watch it on the computer at no charge. Passion was one of my favorite show. Now that it has been axed I want a way that i can see all the missed recaps. Please bring it back to where i can see it on the computer. Thanks you

I agree with the above comment. I had been a faithful Passions watcher from day one. I was devastated when it went to Direct Tv, and now it is cancelled completely. There should be a way where the fans can go and watch all the missed episoded since it left NBC. It is not fair that we are unable to watch our favourite couples finally ending up together. Do you know how long I have been cheering for Theresa & Ethan?? or Shuis?? It would be nice to be able to see them find their happines! Thanks from Nova Scotia!!

I also agree with the above comment's i been a faithful fan since it started and was going crazy on how to catch up and soap opera weekly have been helping me catch up. But it still will be good to put it back on computer so that we can see it instead of reading it and trying to picture it.

since the show is going off the air completely and DirecTV isnt going to get anymore subscribers on behalf of passions they should allow us to watch it for free on the computer, I am a DirecTv subscriber because of passions and I'm mad cause they are taking it off now, DirecTv sucks I dont get home in time to watch it they use to show reruns on saturdays but now its on thursday who has time to watch during the week if I'm paying for it I should get to watch it

HI! I think that Passions should go back to NBC on the next season after this year. I love the show. I miss it being on NBC. I think Luis and Sheridan should get back together for good and Fancy and Pretty should leave Luis alone. I also could care less about Julian's surgery. I am pleased to see that Theresa is still alive and kicking. Go Passions!!!

Posted Tue Apr 8, 2008, 12:21 PM — By Kat

Personally I hope Theresa gets what she deserves. Because of her Gwen's daughter and first son are dead. No to mention all the other meddeling she has done.

Posted Tue Apr 8, 2008, 1:29 PM — By lidia smith

I wish that Passions come back to NBC. It is a great show, unique and I can relax watching it after the hard day at work.! ps At least let us watch it free on the Internet.

Posted Tue Apr 8, 2008, 2:34 PM — By Nickie

Apparently Kat hasn't watched the show from the beginning, because she would know that it has always been Gwen not Theresa doing the meddling. Theresa was always trying to protect herself from Gwen. I wish Passions would come back to NBC also. I can't believe they are cancelling the show. I have watched from day one and I am so upset that my favorite characters will be gone soon.

Posted Tue Apr 8, 2008, 2:37 PM — By Nickie

also it was Gwen's fault that she lost her daughter because she is the one who started the fight with Theresa and didn't stay in the hospital where she was supposed to be. Theresa never touched her, when she let go of Theresa's hair she is the one who fell, she was never pushed at all. And how was Theresa to know that the baby that died in utero was Gwen's they didn't even find out that Jane was Theresa's until after she was born.

Posted Tue Apr 8, 2008, 3:36 PM — By katherine

i wish passions would come back to nbc i love that show so much now i do not know what to do with my self now im so bored every day i waited to watch the show! theresašan and luis&fancy always and forever miss the show

WHERE THE HELL DO THE VIEWERS OF THIS SHOW LIVE? IN JERRY SPRINGER LAND? This show is stupid. Idiotic. Unreal. Ignorant. Silly. And an insult to any intelligent person ... or one with a high school diploma. I just read the synopsis for today's show and am still wondering how this show stayed on so long as it has. Sewing a penis on backwards is a story? Please let me know its last day on the air so i may toast to the end of TRUE stupidity. WHy on earth people hired the writer/producer of this show is BEYOND me.

Posted Wed Apr 9, 2008, 7:06 AM — By beary

I have been a fan of Passions for a few years and thought the story lines were pretty good up until the Vincent\Valerie thing and now Julian and the penis thing. I would think the writers could come up with something better than crazy things like that. Come on, there are great story lines with Teresa, Ethan, Gwen, Fancy, Sheridan and Luis etc, so why something so way out there that isn't even somewhat believable. I know you probably don't care since once again the show was canceled, but with some good writers maybe another station would pick it up.

Posted Wed Apr 9, 2008, 12:01 PM — By LMILL

I COMPLETELY AGREE......you guys have lost a LOT of viewers because of the contract with DTV. I miss you guys...the stories are getting a little crazy but, I have watched this show for years and really don't appreciate the choice made.

Posted Wed Apr 9, 2008, 1:33 PM — By SharonM

I have watched Passions from the beginning until it went to DirectTV. Now I read the recaps to keep up. I know the show is different and unbelievable at times but that is what makes it good for Passions fans. No one wants the show to be like other soaps. I hope one of the cable channels picks up the show.

Posted Wed Apr 9, 2008, 4:31 PM — By LINDA HOLTON

Why cannot Passion writers finally write so that for awhile, at least, Theresa and Ethan finally make it together. This is really getting old. Just when you think, well yes,at last...some strange happening. There has to be another course for writing a story for them as a couple...and the Sheridan and Luis story is the same thing. Is this all the writers have??? I actually stopped watching with the Beth and baby thing...too long and now it is no longer interesting.

Posted Thu Apr10, 2008, 1:08 AM — By terry

also theresa didnt want to have one of the twins terminated. gwen and ethan pushed for it if you recall. they were the ones who insister she lose one to save the other rather than lose both.she fought to keep both...not her fual,t once again gwens..... theres aand ethan all the way, luis and sheridan all the way, bring back grace for sam and get rid of ivy, yuck, and chairty for miguel, he needs to know after all this time kay has never told him teuth about why she left, that she gave him up to save maria, which kay has known all along....he should know that and they should get back together, kay isnt his true love, she was great with fox til they messed that up, fancy is boring, only liked her with noah, liked paloma with roberto, and she was a virign til noah, saving herslef tuned down his proposal and all, then boom, gets engaged to noah.whatveer...find someeone esle for fancy......whatveer happened to martin, ran off with sheridans mom again, jerk.he should hav estayed and fought harder for pilar.....

I HAVE WATCHED PASSIONS ALWAYS AND HATED THE IDEAS WHEN IT GOT CANCELED FROM REGULAR TV AND GOT ON DIRECT TV. IT'S NOT FAIR THAT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO SEE PASSIONS GET TO SUFFER FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO WATCH IT. I ALSO HATE THE IDEA OF ETHAN AND THERESA NOT BEING TOGETHER AFTER ALL THE SUFFERING THEY BOTH HAVE BEEN THROUGH. THEY SHOULD FINALLY HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY OF BEING A HAPPY FAMILY WITH THEIR KIDS. ETHAN SHOULD FINALLY FIND OUT THE GWEN IS THE BAD ONE IN ALL OF THERESA AND HIS SUFFERING. I WOULD ALSO LIKE FOR YOU GUYS TO BRING PASSIONS BACK TO REGULAR TV. I AM ASKING IN NAME OF ALL THE PASSIONS FANS THERE IS OUT THERE BRING PASSIONS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted Thu Apr10, 2008, 8:17 PM — By JULI

BRING PASSIONS BACK IF NOT ON TV THEN ON THE COMPUTER SOME OF US CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY TO WATCH IT!!!!!!!IT WAS ONE OF THE FEW THINGS IN LIFE THAT I DID FOR MYSELF!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS SO UNFAIR!!!!!!!!!

Posted Fri Apr11, 2008, 11:35 AM — By Anna

I have watched this soap since it first came on tv..I was totally thrown off when it went to direct tv...it is the best soap going...please bring it back to NBC for all us fans who miss it very much...not everyone has direct tv out there....reading about it is just not the same as watching it....bring it back...please...Anna from Ontario Canada

Posted Sat Apr12, 2008, 2:44 AM — By cheryl

very upset that passion was cancelled..before passions I would watch other soaps but there is no comparision..what was going through peoples head when this decision was made..you have upset lots of viewers..pleas reconsider and bring back the passions into our lives..

Posted Sat Apr12, 2008, 4:32 AM — By Tracy

I am so pissed at Direct Tv i just got it for passions only and now they are canceling i am so mad now i am cuting them and not paying my bill ha ha ha ha. as far as nbc goes i dont care to watch it since they took the best day time soap opera off and left that corny ass soap days of lives which suck passions was the best and will always be the best

Posted Sat Apr12, 2008, 8:40 AM — By Cindi

When Passions went to DTV, I am so glad I did not drop cable to switch. I feel DTV mislead all the Passions fans and I was thinking at the time that they were going to coerce people into switching then cancel the show. That's just dirty to me and I will never have anything to do with DirecTV. Then they put it on computer and charge, how money hungry are they? I feel bad for all the people who switched for Passions and are now stuck paying to get cable back. I think you all should get together and talk to an attorney about suing DirecTV for consumer fraud. I am also really mad at NBC for dumping Passions, it was the only soap that I watched and I was a faithful fan of Today Show but ever since NBC dropped Passions for another hour of Today, I have quit watching daytime TV on NBC all together. If fact, I watch very little NBC, as little as possible because I feel they have little regard for their viewers; they certainly don't listen to what we want. Bring back Passions to SciFi and give us the reruns!

PLEASE CAN PASSIONS BE SENDING ME THEIR RECAPS EVERY WEEK FROM NOW ON? THANKS IN ANTICIPATION.

Posted Sat Apr12, 2008, 2:03 PM — By Sherry

I STILL CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT PASSIONS WAS TAKEN OFF OF NBC FOR DIRECT TV. YOU GUYS SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE RATINGS ON NBC FOR PASSIONS, I KNOW IT WAS GREAT, I LOVED THE SHOW AND ALOT OF MY FRIENDS DID TOO.... WHY WONT YOU PUT IT BACK ON NBC SO EVERYONE CAN SEE IT AGAIN. IT IS NOT FAIR THAT ONLY IF YOU HAVE DIRECT TV YOU CAN WATCH A SHOW THAT LOTS, AND LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE WATCHED ON REGULAR CABLE FOR YEARS... SOMEONE SHOULD START SOMEKIND OF PETITION OR SOMETHING. IT IS SO BAD THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED.. I TRY TO CATCH UP HERE ON SOAP DIGEST, BUT IT IS NOT THE SAME.... I HAVE SENT SEVERAL LETTERS TO NBC THIS WITH ONE REPLY... SO I HOPE SOMEDAY THIS WILL COME BACK TO NBC WHERE IT BELONGS SO EVERYONE CAN SEE IT AGAIN!!!! THERE ARE ALOT OF SADDEN FANS OUT HERE NOW DAYS... SO PLEASE BRING IT BACK................

Absolutely sucked that passions was taken off NBC, I was a devote watcher of the show and went as far as taping the show and watched daily when i got home from work.You need to bring it back to NBC so we ALL can enjoy watching our favourite stars and characters. PLEASE consider bringing it back to the fans who are so didicated to PASSIONS>

Posted Sun Apr13, 2008, 5:37 PM — By by Kim

Hey! I was just coming to this site to catch up to my beloved "Passions" and discovered the postings. I was totally and thoroughly shocked when I read that Passions will be or is now cancelled. I too, am a big time fan of the show and heartbroken that I will not be reading of Theresa, Ethan, Sheridan and Luis. I also don't have cable and think it should be placed on this site for viewing, so that we cable-less fans can see what happened then and up to the end. Unfortunately, I think we all should realize that the people that be are not going to listen and put Passions back on, because, if they had, Passions would not have gone to cable in the first place. So let's face it, we lost again. Now I want to give a shout-out to Nickie for straightening Kat out. Good Job!

I agree you should bring back passions it is a really good daytime show i quit watching all my children to watch it and it just drew me in and now i have to come here and ge6 the recaps please bring it back nbc

Posted Tue Apr15, 2008, 1:05 AM — By maymaygrand

I sooooooooooooo miss passions on daytime, don't have dir tv but comcast digital. Will any of the stars be going to other soaps?

Posted Fri Apr18, 2008, 6:06 PM — By Linda

I really like Passions.I agree with others, no penis deal should be done. Please do not take Passions off DTV as I went to them just to watch Passions. Thersa & Ethan belong together, Quinn and her witchful Mom need to tied up and someone show them what the truth is. Please take Passions on DTV where is belongs. If it goes off the air when is this going to happen. Do we have another alternative to watch it. I believe Fancy and Luis belong together as Fancy is not scheming like Sheridan a Pretty. Luis needs an honest women like Fancy, someone who he can trust and has never deceived him. I feel the same way about Thersa and Ethan, she is pretty honest with him, if she isn't at the time it is to protect her family and him. Quinn is a liar and not trustworthly enough to be with Ethan. Get rid of Rebecca, no one likes her and that little imp evil man. We do not like him. He is not funny at all and he is evil. Again, please keep Passions going strong as this will make the viewers that like the show very happ

I have watched passions for years and when they moved to Direct T.V. I went to order it. A guy came to install it and couldn't because of a tree outside. I wish they could put reruns on regular cable and regular t.v. so others could watch it. Please put passions back on t.v. and keep doing passions and don't quit. Why quit?? Even my dad watches it, lol. Is it on here to watch online?? I really really, love Threasa and Ethan. I hope they realize Threasa is alive and she gets her life back. They need to kick Gwen out of their lives. So did Gwen's baby die?? Jessica shouldn't listen to spike ever too. Threasa should just tell Ethan about his kid and all the things Gwen did and pilar be there too. This soap is the best out there and so different that the other soaps. I was pregnant last summer when they I think took it off regular T.V. and I was really sad from it. I know it's a show and it's fake, but when you get into something, Get a petition or something too while u

I have been watching Passions since it first started and now that I don't have DirectV. I can't watch it. I think it should go back on NBC! Passions is an awesome days time show and I miss it. I have to go online just to see what is happening. This isn't fair to the people that can't watch it. Thersea and Ethan and Lucie and fancy belong to together. Sheridan and Lucie don't no more. Sheridan has lost her mind if oyu ask me. Just bring Passions back on NBC!

Hello! my name is Beverly and I have a very important question have you thought of putting the passions on dvd from the begging to the end so the show fans can watch it when it first start because they can watch everything again any people reading this e-mail to get all your friends to write to the show to tell them to put passions on dvd so the hole world can watch it again please put it on dvd I've been watching this show since it came on tv please if you put it on dvd you might can make some money to give to a worthy cause that will be a good idea for you and the show.

Posted Wed May14, 2008, 12:17 PM — By Tascha

first off i think its cheap of them to take passions to direct tv what about all the loyal fans that have made it a hit in regular tv.....second only three shows per week.... they are getting a mighty big head i think

Posted Tue May20, 2008, 11:14 PM — By BRENDA, CYNTHIANA KENTUCKY

I ALSO HAVE WATCHED PASSIONS SINCE DAY ONE AND IT BROKE MY HEART WHEN THEY MOVED TO DIRECTV. I WISH THEY WOULD BRING IT BACK TO NBC SO ALL THE FANS CAN WATCH IT AGAIN.I'M LIKE EVERYONE ELSE I WOULD LOVE TO SEE GWEN AND HER BITCHY MOTHER AND IVY GET WHAT THEY DESERVE.I ALSO THINK THAT DIRECTV SCAMMED EVERYONE JUST TO GET THEM TO SWITCH TO THEIR COMPANY AND NOW THAT EVERYONE THAT LOVED WATCHING PASSIONS HAS SWITCHED NOW THEY ARE GOING TO CANCEL THE SHOW THEY ARE JUST SO DAMN MONEY HUNGRY. SO PLEASE BRING PASSIONS TO NBC WHERE IT BELONGS SO ALL THE FANS CAN WATCH IT AGAIN. THANK YOU.

Posted Sun Jun 1, 2008, 12:17 AM — By Shelly

I agree with everyone. Passions should be able to be seen by everyone that loves the soap. I have had to go back and read all the recaps from where the show left and went to Directv. Directv sucks. I also think it should go back to NBC.

Posted Sat Jun28, 2008, 11:15 AM — By Karyn

When Passions first can to NBC I watch it faithfully. As time went on I became totally discussed at how incredibly long it took for a story line to end. So I started watching Passions once a month, and still not much changed. Then I watch every three months. Same thing. Not much change. This soap is so far-fetched and unrealistic that when it went to direct tv I was not upset! The writers need to shit or get off the pot! If and when it comes back to tv my only hope is that the writing is better and the story lines actually move and take less time.

Posted Mon Jul21, 2008, 1:21 PM — By Lydia

please bring back Passions on NBC.I was a Passions fan before until they move to Direct TV. please..please.. bring back Passions on NBC. Thank you much Lydia

Posted Wed Jul23, 2008, 2:18 PM — By Pat

I really miss Passions, I live in a condo and can not have a dish to get DIRECTV, so regular TV is the only way to see my favorite show. Reading recaps is not like watching it...so I really wish that you would bring Passions back to local network TV. Thanks.
