Info

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.

Passions Audience Reviews

Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
marrowness This is my favorite TV shows ever. I have watched Passions since it aired in July of 1999. At first I was entranced by the way this soap used the supernatural. It was very different from all other soaps on at that time. This show has "calmed down" from its first years. At first it was all about witches, warlocks, good and evil, and portals to hell; but now it is more about love triangles, the dead coming back to life, and secrets coming out. This show is aimed at younger audiences, such as myself. When I started watching it I was in 6th grade, and I have continued to watch it. If you ever get the chance tune in, have fun, and beware of the hidden passions...
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.
rhani1 I think "Theresa's" character presents a prime example of a negative image for minorities, and single women in general. She is the unwed mother of two children, born out of wedlock and does not appear to give a thought to the fact that her children illegitimate. There is no evidence of her trying to better "herself", but rather appears consumed with trying to get into the Crane family, where she is clearly not wanted. The character uses her children to try and get what she wants; in this case, a married man. Yet the family presents themselves as a religious family. Where are their morals? Pilar has four grandchildren and everyone of them are illegitimate. I do not like this family and think think the bad things that have befallen them are the results of actions on their part.
