Passions - General Discussion

[DB in CMH]

I haven't thought about Passions in years, but I recently started listening to the Passions for Life podcast and it's bringing back a flood of memories. For those not listening, it's done by Travis Schuldt and Natalie Zea (Ethan 1 and Gwen 2, who are married IRL), and they're doing a rewatch of their time on the show and going over all of the gory details. It's really quite juicy - they brought in McKenzie Westmore for an interview and she revealed a lot about her weight struggles and how the producers handled it horribly. I'm enjoying the podcast way more than I should be.

Can we raise a martimmy?

It came out when I was in college and I watched it with all my friends.  It was great.  Timmy and Tabitha forever

I loathed Theresa.

RIP Ben Masters (Julian Crane)....I wonder if he and Tracey Ross (Eve) were still together when he passed.

After the poorly belated Josh/Timmy, are these the first two major cast deaths? Passions was on recently enough that even the oldest cast members are just hitting 80 now, and I imagine the bulk of them range in the 40's to 60's range.

I had no clue they really dated. I loved that whole storyline. Eve's husband was horrible and I rooted for both Eve and Julian and Whitney and Fox.

UO, but I liked T.C. and felt he was given a raw deal....with Ben and Tracey getting together, I always wondered if that's why T.C.'s character was thrown under the bus.

Hopefully his death was not penis-related! 

(Did they ever fix it on the show?)

I hated this show.

And yes, I tried that first week and watched a few episodes. They were awful.

Timmy and Tabatha were the only slightly bright lights.

RIP Another World.

This show evokes a welcome nostalgia for me. Especially the family dramas that have always taken place there. It's very similar to my family. I was lucky enough to meet a wonderful girl on The Lucky Date to fall in love and get married. But there was a businessman's daughter and a whole bunch of family dramas, like I only needed her money and so on. Now family meetings are like Brazilian soap operas.

I hadn't thought of this show in ages, but I recently moved and came across some old tapes I had saved with clips. Then I decided to search to see if any old episodes are on You Tube, and found every single episode ever. It has been a great time waster and reminded me how much I loved Sheridan and Luis back in the day, and how much they ruined them later on.

It was really such a terrible and hilarious show at the same time. I watched obsessively in college and all the way up until it went to Direct TV.

My grandmother used to watch it in Memory Care until the magic stuff began to scare her. 😀
