Synopsis

Passions is an American television soap opera which aired on NBC from July 5, 1999 to September 7, 2007 and on The 101 Network from September 17, 2007 to August 7, 2008. Passions follows the lives and loves, and various romantic and paranormal adventures of the residents of Harmony. Story-lines center around the interactions among members of its multi-racial core families — the African American Russells, white Cranes and Bennetts, and half-Mexican half-Irish Lopez-Fitzgeralds — as well as the supernatural including town witch Tabitha Lenox. Created by writer James E. Reilly and produced by NBC Studios, the series was subsequently picked up by direct broadcast satellite service DirecTV, which broadcast new episodes airing on its exclusive channel The 101. In December 2007, DirecTV decided not to renew its contract for the series, and the studio was unable to sell the show elsewhere. The final episode aired on DirecTV on August 7, 2008.

CommentsXp Best movie ever!
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
new_releases This show is very disturbing. I hate it. It's about a family called the Cranes, and there's also this woman who's a witch, but a good witch, who also has a little girl. The witch's house has these evil spirits in her basement. This isn't the disturbing part. The disturbing part is there's this freak, Vincint, who's a long lost son of the Cranes. He's queer, crazy, and a murderer. If that isn't enough to scare you, he wears this hideous costume, that makes him look half man, half woman. Sometimes he wears it, sometimes he doesn't. He looks normal without it, but when he's wearing it, half of his face is flesh, the other half is a Phantom of the Operah mask. Each half of his shirt is a different color, and his pants, one side is.. well, pants, but the other side is half a skirt. In addition, his hair is long and girlie.I was very disturbed by this show.
Michael Scotts If ever you thought television couldn't sink so low, watch this incredible tripe. You will sit - open mouthed - as you watch scene-after-scene get worse than the one before.It calls itself a drama, but I have watched it just to cheer myself up on a dismal day.The dreadful acting is only surpassed by whomsoever called him/herself a scriptwriter. I would not be at all surprised if the orangutan - yes, there's an orangutan - wrote the scripts, but I reckon it would do a better job.Poor John Mills will be spinning in his grave to see his daughter Juliett playing a ditsy witch named Tabatha. And 'Tabatha' isn't the only character the mediocre scriptwriters have stolen from the 'Bewitched' television series of the 60s. You will also find 'Hecuba' and even the farcical 'Dr Bombay', played by the original actor! Then there was the 'living doll' Timmy who, when he came alive, talked of himself in the third person and with a terrible lisp, whilst wearing gloves stolen from a Mickey Mouse marionette. (The poor actor has since died.) No, for a fun afternoon watching a car crash, tune in to Passions... it's like Little Britain and The Office rolled into one, but without the intentional comedy.
cartoonfan322 I was on a break at work a few days ago and the only station we were getting on our TV was NBC...and I thought for sure I was watching some Saturday Night Live rerun, then found (to my horror) that it was Passions, quite possibly the lamest and most overcooked show on television today.How has this show lasted so long??? The writing could have been done by 13-year-olds. The plot lines are totally clichéd, overdone, and absolutely ridiculous. The acting? Don't even get me started; these people don't even belong in a church Christmas pageant. I'm almost positive the producers grabbed the first decent-looking people they met on the street and shoved them in front of the cameras.In summary, I can't stand this show. I don't understand why some people find this show so appealing; I find it nauseating and painful to watch. To each his own? Perhaps this is part of the reason I have little hope for the human race.
Syl I have been a found of Juliet Mills since I was a child. Little did I know that she would marry the gorgeous and 18 year old her junior, Maxwell Caulfield, from Grease 2. Not only that, they have been almost 25 years too. Besides, Juliet Mills' Tabitha would delight her departed godfather Lord Laurence Oliver and her godmother Vivien Leigh. Her acting father, Sir John Mills, should have guested once on this show. He died recently at 97 years old. While I am crazy about Juliet too, the show has improved since it's debut in 1999. I really wish Juliet won the Emmy Award last night. Without her, this show would have bite the dust like All My Children without Susan Lucci. I hope we can honor Juliet by getting her something else like an M.B.E.(Member of the British Empire). The last British born actress in daytime to receive this honor was Anna Lee in 1982 from Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace. I know an M.B.E. is a lower honor than an O.B.E.(Officer of the British Empire), a C.B.E.(Commander of the British Empire) or Dame Commander of the British Empire but Juliet should be rewarded with something. Since nobody at All My Children appears not to care about Eileen Herlie who has played Myrtle Fargate since the seventies, maybe the Passions fans would be more willing to do something. It only costs postage! There is nothing much more than that. There is no $15,000 to upkeep a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame which Juliet deserves too. Anybody who knows anything about an M.B.E. knows that it goes to ordinary people who do extraordinary things or for years of service. But for soaps even in England, the M.B.E. has been bestowed upon British actors on Coronation Street and EastEnders. Please help me do something to honor this special lady.
