At the end of , the introduction of new-series regulars such as Rae Thomas, Alistair Crane, Spike, Martin Lopez-Fitzgerald, Katherine, Paloma, Noah, and Fancy were introduced with huge storylines, which gave Passions its highest ratings in nearly four years. In summer , the prominent character Simone Russell came out as gay; Passions made daytime history by being the first serial to show two women - Simone and love interest Rae Thomas — in bed making love.
In , it was revealed that longtime hero Chad Harris-Crane was cheating on his wife with another man. This was also a daytime first, with the men portrayed in bed together, committing -albeit unknowingly- incest.
Passions also portrayed Vincent as an intersex person who became pregnant with his own father's son. Due to low ratings, the reruns were taken off the air as of May 25, On August 15, , Passions became the first daytime drama to make full episodes available for download and purchase from the online music store iTunes. On November 6, , the show also became the first daytime drama to make full episodes available for free viewing via streaming on NBC.
Though plagued since its inception by low overall Nielsen ratings, Passions was historically top-rated in key demographics. The series was not renewed by NBC for a full ninth season in because of its low ratings coupled with the network's decision to extend its morning news and talk show Today to a fourth hour. Since NBC owned the series entirely, NBC began shopping for other networks, especially cable networks, to pick up the series for a ninth season, however there was no luck in other networks willing to pick up the series because of devastating low ratings and extremely expensive production costs.
As the series was coming to an end on NBC, Passions Live talk show hosted by Eric Martsolf premiered in August every Thursday night on DirecTV's The , giving fans the chance to telephone the show and interact live with Passions cast members, making Passions the first and only soap opera to ever have a live talk show in U.
The series ended its NBC run on September 7, , and new episodes began airing on DirecTV's original-programming channel The on September 17, , making Passions both the first soap opera broadcast on a direct broadcast satellite service and the first series to make such a transition from broadcast television.
However, initially, new episodes were no longer available for free viewing on the Passions official website at NBC. After the series moved to DirecTV, the subscription service added a special feature where a trivia question relating to Passions would pop up, on each episode airing on The , for viewers to use their remote control to answer.
Passions was the first soap opera to ever have this type of feature. On December 10, , Variety magazine and various cast members confirmed that DirecTV had decided not to renew Passions for another year, but ordered 52 additional episodes to be taped through March New episodes of the series were broadcast until August 7, , with DirecTV airing three new episodes per week starting January Universal Media Studios wrapped up production of Passions on March 28, The cast and crew were told at the wrap party that efforts to find a new outlet had failed and that the cancellation was final.
Cast member McKenzie Westmore confirmed the news. Though Passions had been the highest-rated original program on DirecTV's The , it was reported that the network had failed to meet the projected number of new subscribers they had hoped to attract with the series.
Over the course of nine seasons, several of the series story-lines contained unresolved issues that were never explained. These included:. Template:Original research section. Bombay " twice appeared on Passions in scenes with Tabitha not to be confused with Bewitched 's own Tabitha Stephens. When Passions' Tabitha has a child in , she names the baby " Endora " which was Tabitha's grandmother's name, and later notes that her parents had been "Samantha" and a mortal named "Darrin.
One of Passions' most notorious trademarks is the false "dream sequence" or fakeout. This dream sequence can last anywhere from a few scenes to a few episodes, typically beginning without warning. On Passions , often a dream sequence will begin with no visual cues of any sort whatsoever, often going as far as to include contradictory elements to give the dream sequence credence.
For instance, another character may show up within the dream wearing an outfit, or revealing information that the daydreamer had no possible way of knowing about beforehand. While a veteran viewer can usually spot a fake dream sequence once it has neared its climax, the fake dream sequence tends to cause confusion amongst the more casual viewer who may not get to catch the revelation that it was all a dream. Characters on the show have flashbacks to earlier events quite often, so much so that a significant portion of an episode may be repeated scenes.
Roman Catholicism and its principles figure greatly into the show's themes. Several characters, including Grace Bennett and Pilar Lopez-Fitzgerald, are portrayed as being particularly devout Catholics, often praying with a rosary.
Father Lonigan , the blind priest, has the ability to sense evil, causing lots of trouble for Tabitha over the years. Many theological debates on the importance of Catholic marriage vows have arisen over the years as well, as various characters attempt to divorce or remarry. Another trademark of the serial is its pre-occupation with the concepts of fate and soulmates. For the run of the series, the show established a few couples as "fated", and, with few short-lived exceptions, never mixed up any of the relationships.
However, despite the fact that each of these couples has existed as a storyline since the first episodes, the show seems to have given up on the "fated" angle as it approached its end. Ethan and Theresa are still in love and marry in the final episode, but Miguel is now in love with and marries Kay not Charity , Luis falls in love with and marries Sheridan's niece Fancy, while Sheridan's formerly presumed dead husband Antonio returns to Harmony alive and well.
Whitney left Chad after finding out about his affair with Vincent, and Chad later was shot dead by his father Alistair, leaving Whitney widowed and pregnant. Likely due to Passions' school-aged target audience, the show often presented large, wild storylines for the summer, which often took place outside of Harmony. In , a carnival came to town as characters were introduced; saw the Prom Boat Disaster storyline and witnessed the failed double-wedding of popular couples Luis and Sheridan and Ethan and Theresa , and their subsequent journey to Bermuda , where Sheridan apparently perished in a boat explosion and Theresa wound up married to Ethan's ex-stepfather, Julian Crane.
In , Julian and Timmy set out on a journey in the magical land of Oz as Theresa was "executed" for Julian's "murder"; saw six characters Chad, Whitney, Fox, Theresa, Ethan, and Gwen travel to Los Angeles for the summer and into October , while, in , Luis and Sheridan traveled to Puerto Arena, Mexico, to retrieve his younger sister, Paloma and ended up finding his missing father, Martin, and her "dead" mother, Katherine. The plot of the summer in was a deadly earthquake and tsunami , which destroyed much of Harmony and resulted in the death of James' mother, Maureen, while saw the extravagant Passions Vendetta plot, [7] in which Alistair lured seventeen people Whitney, Simone, Paloma, Chad, Ethan, Theresa, Gwen, Lena, Spike, Jessica, Maya, Noah, Esme, Fancy, Luis, Beth, and Marty to Rome, where he planned to take over the world with a chalice stolen from the Pope 's private chambers; the plot saw the death of Lena, Maya, Alistair, Beth, and Marty.
In , the show spent its final summer on the air wrapping up its plotlines at a rapid pace, with Alistair Crane being killed once and for all, the final showdowns between the main characters and the newly introduced villains Viki, Juanita, Pretty, and Vincent, Tabitha's redemption as a born again Christian who sacrifices her powers to save the residents of Harmony, the return of Antonio and his reunion with Sheridan, the mass weddings of Fancy and Luis, Paloma and Noah, Miguel and Kay, and Edna and Norma the first gay couple ever to go down the aisle on a soap opera , and Gwen and Rebecca being exposed for their crimes as Theresa and Ethan finally married.
Another recurring theme on Passions is sexual violence. Many storylines, especially since , have included rape as a plot point.
In , so many plotlines came to involve an element of rape that fans began to refer to that year as the "Year of the Rapes". The show then carried a plotline over whether they should do a rape test while Paloma was in a coma at the time she was a virgin and Jessica Bennett was also raped a few weeks later while at a club. Late in May, heiress Fancy Crane was nearly raped by a man in Las Vegas who demanded "payment" for letting her into a party after she lost her invitation.
During the tsunami and later in November, Liz Sanbourne attempted to rape Julian Crane at knife point. In August, Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald was raped by Alistair Crane when she refused to pay him with sex for helping her with visitation of her infant daughter, Jane; Theresa later married Alistair, and he continued to rape her throughout their marriage. Also in August or September, Kay Bennett was attacked by a gang of men while walking through the park at night, though Fox Crane soon arrived and the two defeated the group.
Liz Sanbourne also revealed during the tsunami that Julian Crane had raped her in Boston many years previously she later revealed that it had been Alistair who had done the deed, thus producing a son, Chad Harris-Crane. The most prominent rape storyline began in December , when Crane heiress and police cadet Fancy Crane was raped during a sting operation designed to catch a peeping tom.
The brutal attack left Fancy in a brief coma and emotionally traumatized the young woman. Fancy was also the show's first rape victim to visibly experience prolonged effects ; her bubbly demeanor disappeared, and she became extremely nervous and could not stand to be touched for several months. Fancy was eventually raped for a second time in January , and her boyfriend, Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald , was framed for the crimes; the rapist was later revealed to be Vincent Clarkson , Fancy's biological half-brother through their father.
Rape also played prominently into the — storyline involving Mexican drug cartel leader Juanita Vasquez. Sometime between the births of Pilar's second and third children , the poma Lopez-Fitzgerald matriarch returned to her native Mexico to visit with her childhood best friend, Juanita Vasquez.
There, she discovered that Juanita's husband, Carlos, was still involved with his family's drug cartel and was planning a hit on a rival family; when Pilar confronted Carlos, he raped her, and she accidentally killed him in self-defense. Pilar then called the police in an attempt to stop the hit, but the police ended up murdering the entire Vasquez family, including Juanita and Carlos' young children, except for Juanita.
Juanita refused to believe that her husband had raped Pilar and made it her life's mission to murder Pilar's entire family, eventually murdering Pilar's sister and two nephews.
One unfortunate trademark for Passions has been eerie deaths. In , Josh Ryan Evans , who played Tabitha's extremely popular doll sidekick Timmy , died while on medical leave, just as scenes were airing where Timmy died in the hospital and went to Heaven. After five years of evil Crane patriarch Alistair being heard but never having his face seen voiced by Alan Oppenheimer , Passions finally cast the role with longtime daytime vet David Bailey.
Bailey was a hit with the cast as well as the fans, but on Thanksgiving Day , he drowned in his pool, just as scenes were airing where various characters tried to kill Alistair, who actually suffered clinical death before being magically revived by Tabitha.
Again, the viewers and the producers were stunned, but the show had no choice but to recast the pivotal role with John Reilly. With its humor and occasional tongue-in-cheek tone, Passions has been known to "break the fourth wall ", or somehow call attention to the fact that the show is fictional.
In an early episode, Kay, Simone, and Zombie Charity were seen actually watching Passions , and when the television in the Bennett's kitchen covered what would have been Theresa's execution, the news report actually pre-empted Passions , cutting in during the theme song just after the appearance of the logo.
In a episode Theresa was giving birth while stuck in a cabin with Ethan and Gwen; she had a hallucination in which the three of them did a dance together and sang the show's theme song "Breathe. In one episode Fancy Crane used a magazine to hide her face from Noah; the magazine had an image of the then-unseen Rachel Barrett with the sentence "Who is she?
Fancy later commented that serials "are just like life; you never know what's going to happen! They couldn't find him, but Valerie tracked down his last place of employment: he was last seen working as a gardener in some suburban town on a street called Wisteria Lane.
At that time, Jesse Metcalfe ex-Miguel was playing a gardener on the prime-time serial Desperate Housewives , which takes place on a street called Wisteria Lane. A similar inside joke occurred when the character Fancy had a dream that she was a cheerleader; in real life, Fancy's portrayer Emily Harper was a "Laker Girl" cheerleader for the Los Angeles Lakers from In April , Kay was watching the sixth Template:Sic hour of The Today Show an apparent jab at NBC's decision to extend it at the expense of the Passions timeslot when it was interrupted with a news report that Luis had been arrested.
In one August episode, Tabitha said that a certain soap opera was starting on DirecTV and she would have to tell her friends not to call her between the hours of and pm, blatantly referring to Passions itself. At the beginning of the show's final week on NBC, as Whitney was preparing to move to New Orleans, Theresa asked if she was sure she wanted to go, and Whitney commented that she had already arranged to have her DirecTV hooked up in Louisiana so she could "keep up on everything happening in Harmony.
What audience? In May while Juanita was looking for clues in a book store as to where Pilar was, the bargain shelf was full of copies of Hidden Passions.
In June , Tabitha mentions the fourth hour of Today being a ratings-grabber, poking fun as to how they canceled the soap making way for this fourth hour trying to bring the ratings on NBC up. In the June 30, , episode, Sheridan mentions Pretty's fake scar with references to her real family the Westmores.
Michael Westmore did make up for Star Trek. In the July 30, , episode, Tabitha tells Endora about the volcano in Harmony referring to it as how Passions was canceled at the last moment and the actors not knowing. She tells Endora to look in the bowl and Endora says she sees a man sitting at a desk with the initials J. Tabitha looks at the audience mentioning Universal forces and Direct Intervention.
During its NBC run, Passions was known to "promote" other NBC programming within its storylines, and to incorporate commercial products into the plot in a promotional tactic known as product placement. Shortly after Passions debuted, Campbell tomato soup was featured as an ingredient in Grace Bennett 's tomato soup cake. Reilly , head writer of Passions. In the September 4, , episode, Fox was sucked into a black hole ; he then told Tabitha that it was the kind of black hole that one gets sucked into on the Sci Fi Channel , which was the channel on which Passions repeats aired in Tabitha then told him stick with NBC Passions' network.
In an episode later in September , Siren tried to get Miguel into bed by singing her Siren's song. Both Jessica and Theresa were seen using Clearblue Easy pregnancy test products. Several characters' homes were seen sporting DirecTV dishes on their roofs, and characters began to make frequent references to switching to DirecTV. Another trademark of Passions is its unusual handling of the passage of time.
A single story day can take weeks of episodes to play out, with simple conversations sometimes taking days to complete on-screen. On the other hand, events that should take many hours, such as international travel, can take place in just a few minutes of story time. A long version of this theme was also released but was never used on the show. The opening title sequence used since the show's premiere in features shots of the city of Harmony and its landmarks actually the real-life town of Camden, Maine.
The sequence opens and closes with the show's logo in an italic typeface and in an Arial Black typeface in generic caps posted in front of the cursive form of the title. From time to time, the opening theme is shortened to the last two verses to fit in extra scene time. Passions is one of the few long-running American serials that, with the exception of occasional abbreviated versions of the intro, never changed its opening theme from the series debut through its cancellation.
Passions then moved exclusively to DirecTV's The , premiering with new episodes on September 17, From January until early May the show remained dead last among all 10 soaps. Passions remained ahead of Port Charles until its cancellation in October Passions once again was dead last, and would stay there for virtually the rest of its run.
It did top Guiding Light on occasion, but never for more than one week at a time. From when Passions was at the peak of its popularity, it averaged a weekly 2.
