The Soup guy Joel McHale said the show is set to go off the air in two months on last week's show, which would explain the weirdness of the plotlines at this point. They've got a double gender muderous psychopath, who obviously has too much time on his/her hands to shop for costumes, and a gay guy(Chad) that commited adultery with another man, who wants to go back to his now estranged wife?
Really, can we just stop the Chad plotline here, never in all the soaps I have watched in my sick day/summertime life have I ever seen one that tried to make a plot where the adulterous person returns to their partner without some reason that basically cancels out the reason for the affair in the first place.
Seriously, just look at Days of Our Lives, they have been on for years, they don't employ weird witch plots and strange characters nearly as much as Passions and they have been on a lot longer. Go figure. There was a short demon posession series in the late 90's and there is always Stefano Dimera. But more importantly when their characters have affairs it's always under the excuse of brainwashing, blackmail, drug induced, or the result of being somehow not in control of their faculties. It's weird, it's far fetched, it's not even plausible, but at least it's not a plot where the character in question cheated because they really enjoyed sex with someone other than their partner while being fully cognizant. That just makes the point of reconcilliatin pointless for me and I suspect most viewers. Really, Writers do something else with this plot.
The plot would make more sense at this point if Chad just left Whitney and moved in with his lover in a cottage next to Tabitha by the sea. Oh and Ivy is getting back with Julian?? Huh, that's so weird after the last 8 years, they were fun in the beginning of the show.
I think this explains more, apparently the Chad character will not be continuing with the show.
'PASSIONS' ACTORS MAKE THE SWITCH TO DIRECTV
BURBANK – MAY 23, 2007 – NBC Universal Television Studio has signed principal cast members of the hit daytime drama "Passions" to new contracts, ensuring that they will continue with the soap when it makes the move from NBC to The 101 on DIRECTV on September 17.
Those continuing with the series include: Eric Martsolf (Ethan), Ben Masters (Julian), Kim Johnston Ulrich (Ivy), Dylan Fergus (Noah), Galen Gering (Luis), Emily Harper (Fancy), Lindsay Hartley (Theresa), Liza Huber (Gwen), James Hyde (Sam), Juliet Mills (Tabitha), Heidi Mueller (Kay), Tracey Ross (Eve), Eva Tamargo (Pilar), McKenzie Westmore ("Sheridan") and Erin Cardillo (Esme).
Moving on-why is Fox News now name dropping food brands to viewers in the middle of broadcasts? I'm in the gym working out watching Fox and Neil Cavuto told me, well and the audience, to go get a Cinnabon and relax. Uh, okay. Can't I just get a snack?
Only a few minutes earlier, Shepard Smith told me to go get some popcorn. Either this network is really into people becoming couch potatoes and watching their shows or they are getting lots of ad money to name drop products to viewers, especially food products.
And here is my final thought, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, those annoying people from that MTV show The Hills just won't go the %^$^@ away! Their dumb, boring, and annoying people. Oh what the hey, I'd probably like them if they would just stop it! I've decided to name them the Slugsmiths, I mean they want to act like a happy married couple and all! They keep showing up in US Weekly and I'm pretty sure it's because they are getting publicity because someone is paid to get it for them... I'm just trying to figure out who is paying, MTV? Gatorade? A tidbit just ran saying they were drinking it...their own parents?? Whatever the case, I can't wait until the money runs out and space is made for more interesting people in this magazine.
