WHOA

I'm not going to get into a full on discussion about the best soap ever, Passions on NBC, but can I bring to everyone's attention what's been going on since the beginning of the year? I think the photo speaks for itself.



You do see that those are two men, right?


BTW- Even though those bastards at NBC cancelled Passions, Direct TV has picked it up and will begin airing new episodes a few weeks after it ends its run on NBC. Sucks for me since I can't get it in my non South East facing apartment building. Hopefully they'll air it somewhere on the web too.

PASSIONS CANCELLED!!!!!!!!!!!


I just heard the tragic news! Passions has been cancelled by NBC!!! What the flippin' hell is going on? Oh, and here's the best part... And by best part I mean most stupid... it's being cancelled because they're expanding the Today Show, to four hours. Really? REALLY??? If that's not the dumbest thing I've ever heard I don't know what is! Four hours!!! Do we really need four hours of Willard Scott and his stupid Smuckers birthdays. Oh look, Aunt Flo is 102830128 years old today. Good for her for lasting long enough. Oh, and now we can see extended segments about which toilet paper is best. I was really worried about that. Luckily the show is going on until at least August of this year, and I'm hoping they may change their mind. Also, another network could always pick it up. Sci Fi did air reruns, but they pulled it soon after because people weren't watching. Of course, if they were new shows things may be different. Who knows. I'm bummed. First 24 (not cancelled, just talking about Monday night's ep) and now this. What's this world coming to?!?

PASSIONS HOMECOMING


Incest is the best, put your brother to the test.

As much as it pains me to say it, the Passions Vendetta storyline has come to an end, mostly, with a few revelations about a few of our favorite characters, and some back right where they started, and oh, Chad and Whitney making out, what's going on?



Before the incest, let's talk about mermaids. We all know Siren's a mermaid, and for awhile there she was all about Miguel, trying to get him into bed and inflict the "mermaid curse" on him. I guess if you have this curse you'll never want to be with a human woman again. Kay tried her best to tell everyone Siren was a mermaid and no one believed her. Then, Kay got electrocuted and lost her memory. Well, that's not totally true, she got "selective soap amnesia". This is when, for dramatic purposes, the person loses just enough of their memory to make it interesting. Kay remembers everything in her life, except she thinks she's engaged to Miguel and not Fox, and she doesn't know anything about Tabitha's magic. Really? Yes, really. So it's not like she forgot about Fox, her brain made up new memories too. It's all quite confusing. And then Eve, who apparently went to the same medical school as Lexie Carver, told everyone not to tell Kay the truth, that it would fry her brain. Um, ok.


That's totally how I got my last boyfriend


So for the last few weeks Kay has been all over Miguel, much to Fox's chagrin. At first Miguel was resistant, but now he's decided he wants Kay, and is more then just playing along. In fact, although he tried to resist, he and Kay did it on the beach. Fox and Siren tried to get there in time, but they didn't make it. Fox was pretty upset when he found out. I'm actually happy to see Miguel and Kay together, as crazy as that sounds, since I've been around since the beginning, with Charity. But I'm not really into this new Fox. So Siren's decides to forget about Miguel and lore Fox into her trap. She sings her little Siren song and the idiot falls for it. They do it at the same time Miguel and Kay are doing it. With a little help from Endora, Kay finally gets another shock and her memory returns. A bit too late though.



Poor Luis is a mess. He, Fancy and Noah witnessed a missile hit the train Marty, Beth and Alistair were on. Yes, that does say missile. Of course, during their time in Rome, if Luis didn't have to keep saving Fancy every fifteen minutes, he would have Marty back. No one really brings that up though. Later, he has to break the news to Sheridan that Marty "died". Sheridan, played by a new woman who I think is just great, is probably five or six months pregnant with Chris' baby. In real time she's about nine months pregnant, but who's counting really? All the stress of Luis looking for Marty, and then finding out that he was killed, is too much for her. When Luis and Fancy get home from Rome, Sheridan loses the baby she's carrying. It's quite awkward too because she miscarries in the cottage. And then they don't even take her to the hospital. The paramedics just take the fetus out with them. She's devastated, and Luis thinks this is all his fault. Chris tries to comfort her, but we don't like Chris anyway because he was working for Alistair. While Sheridan was in the hospital originally, he came back to the cottage and burned some papers with that weird Vendetta symbol on it. Of course he missed one piece, that for the past two weeks has been under the couch, just out of sight.

The next day after the miscarriage though, Sheridan feels like she's ready to get back into the world. She and most of the Harmonites, head to the baseball field for Little Ethan's game. Sheridan, James, and Chris are selling lemonade. As nice as that is, it's a little weird that she's out living life when her two kids just died. Chris and Sheridan notice that Luis and Fancy are there, and Sheridan bores a hole in Fancy's forehead watching them.



What Sheridan soon finds out is that Luis has arrested Fancy. For getting in his way in Rome. Actually, not really. In a throwback to Sheridan and Luis' first encounter, Luis pulls her over and arrests her for having too many parking tickets. It's so nice to see Luis finally arrest someone. During their time in Rome, Fancy's become smitten with Luis and fakes like the Crane lawyers aren't getting back to her and since Luis wants to watch Little Ethan's game, he takes Fancy along, handcuffed. Don't ask me why he handcuffed her. Anyway, at the field, Sheridan doesn't look happy about it, even though she's the one that told Luis to move on with his life since she's with Chris. Of course she said that before she lost the baby, the main reason she was staying with Chris in the first place.



Eventually, Luis and Fancy leave the game and go back to the station. Because the lawyers aren't back yet, Luis has to throw her into a cell. He's also studying to be a detective again. See, you can be a cop again if you've been gone a year, but you can't be a detective again right away. He has to retake the detective's test. He's studying, and Fancy manipulates him (in a good way) to stay with her, that she'll help him study. And by help him study I mean play strip detective school questions. For every answer they get wrong, they have to take off one piece of clothing, ala strip poker. What Luis doesn't know is Fancy has the master answer list, so he's just taking off more and more clothes. I don't find anything wrong with her strategy. NOTHING. Eventually though, he starts asking her other questions that she doesn't have the answers to and she strips down to a cute little bra/undie outfit. She's rail skinny though, ribs sticking out. Pretty soon they have a little chase around the cell and end up falling into each other's arms. They kiss, which they both feel a bit odd about, Luis because he's still in love with Sheridan, and Fancy because Sheridan is her aunt. Afterwards, he lets her go and locks her out of the empty ass police station.



Poor TC. While Julian and Eve have been getting it on, he's been getting it on, with a bottle. Ewe, that's not what I mean. He's a drunk. And he decided the best thing to do when you're drunk is drive. Normally that's true, but on a long twisty road in New England, it doesn't work as well. He crashed his car and Eve rushed to his side. He was pretty messed up, even had a stroke. Julian was nice enough to send the Crane jet to pick up Whitney and Simone from Rome. When they got there TC was messed up. The stroke made him talk like a stroke victim. Luckily, it also took the nasty a**hole out of him too. He apologized to Simone for being a dick about the whole lesbian thing. Now, this whole TC thing has screwed up Eve and Julian's love life. Rebecca's finally given her OK for the divorce, so now that he's free to marry her, she's guilt ridden about TC and wants to be there for him. I really hope they stay together, I think Julian and Eve are so sweet together, and I like nice Julian way much more then I like mean Julian.


Speaking of Julian, he and Eve found out some disturbing news when Whitney got back from Rome. Chad was with her and the two of them started kissing. Before you throw up a little in your mouth like I did, know that they aren't related. Not really anyway. JT, the tabloid reporter that had the goods on Gwen, eventually showed Chad the truth that he and Whitney aren't brother and sister. In fact, pay attention here, Chad is actually Alistair's child with Liz. But don't worry, come to find out, Liz is adopted, and not related to Eve at all. Seeing that Eve is the older sister, I find this rewriting of history a bit odd, but I'll just go with it. Of course, two seconds after we found out that they weren't really related, they started going at it like rabbits. Okay, give us a little time to digest this before you throw these two in bed together. For the past year we've only thought of them as brother and sister and now you have them all over each other. Ewe. So if you're keeping score, Chad is now Julian and Sheridan's brother, Fancy and Fox's uncle, and Theresa's step-son. Hahahaha. That's awesome.



The only snag in their reunion is that Chad keeps getting on the phone with someone mysterious. It started mere moments after he hooked back up with Whitney. He's saying things like, "don't worry, we can still be together", stuff you'd think he was saying to a girlfriend. I honestly don't think that's what it is. He's spent the last year trying to hook up with the woman he thought was his sister, loving her so much that he didn't care they were related. Now, when he finally has her, he's seeing another woman? I don't think so. My theory is he's cutting some sort of album and he wants to surprise Whitney.

So, to my favorite storyline as of late, Theresa. I've always loved Theresa. Yeah, the whole, "admit it Ethan, you love me" gets real old sometimes, but I like the girl. I think the actress uses her hands too much, but I just try to ignore it. In Rome, Theresa found out the best news, something I've been theorizing for 6 or so years now, something I'm amazed the soap never brought up before, Ethan is Little Ethan's father. She was all excited to tell him, thought that this would mean he would come back to her. Nevermind that she already has a baby by him and he didn't come back to her then. Before she tells him though, he meets up with a random friend who he gives advice to. She overhears this and from the conversation, which I don't remember right now, she realizes that Gwen will make Ethan fight for custody of Little Ethan, and she'll lose both of them, just like she lost Jane. I think this is the best idea ever. And because of this, she realizes that Ethan will always do what Gwen wants, and doesn't have the cajones to leave her. In a tearful and skillfully acted scene, Theresa said goodbye to Ethan, telling him she's not perusing him anymore. Of course Gwen didn't believe it, but she's since realized that maybe it's not Theresa that's the problem.

At the Blue Note, Theresa, Chad, and Whitney decide to have a drink. There, they meet Jared. Hot hot Jared. He and Theresa butt heads, and we learn Jared's new in town. He calls Theresa "Tess" and they start a cute flirtation. Ethan doesn't like this, and it shows. And finally, Gwen starts to realize that maybe it wasn't all Theresa's fault she's been chasing after Ethan all these years.



I love Jared, in fact, it's obvious Theresa has a thing for him too, even though they fight like cats and dogs. At Little Ethan's game, Jared's playing at another field on Chad's team. He and Theresa fight a bit more, and he loves her energy. He goes all male chauvinistic though, saying how women bosses are horrible, and that Theresa's boss must be a major biatch, making her work while she's at her son's game. Obviously he doesn't know that she's Theresa Crane. Then he goes too far. Miguel, who's coaching Little Ethan's team, with his shirt all open and inappropriate, has a talk with one of the little girls on the team. Jared makes some sort of rude remark about women not being good enough to play baseball. This gets all the women standing there riled up and Theresa challenges him to a game, girls against guys. He agrees, with the other men, Miguel, Chad, Fox and Ethan, all telling him not to push it, that all those girls are good athletes. We should remember that Whitney was a world class tennis player until Chad came along and distracted her.



All the girls, Theresa, Siren, Kay, Whitney, and even Gwen, suit up and start playing the challenge. Theresa throws some practice pitches and the fancy editing makes it look like she's a pro. The game starts, it's shirts vs. skins. Which really doesn't make sense because the shirts the guys could be wearing are white and purple, and the shirts the girls are wearing are white and red. Wait, am I actually caring that the guys don't have their shirts on? I must be sick or something. Anyway, the game starts and Theresa starts to strike Jared out, before he hits a line drive to her face and she's knocked out. Ethan runs up to her, with concern, to which Gwen realizes how much he must love her. She eventually gets up and they continue the game. Whitney's all cute as the catcher, with her big hair in pig tails. Very Bad News Bears. Of course the girls win, and the lobster dinner Jared promises Theresa is scheduled for that night.



Jared and Chad show up to Theresa's mother's house to pick her up, and she's wearing a designer dress. This thing is just awful. But Jared, thinking Theresa's a working class single mom, thinks she made it herself. She doesn't have the heart to tell him the truth. When they get to the Lobster Shack, she feels a bit overdressed, and people stare at her. Jared thinks it's because of the dress, but it's because she's a Crane. After the dinner, she and Jared visit Luis and Fancy at the jail, and Theresa tells Fancy to go for it with Luis while Luis tells Jared to treat his sister good or answer to him. On the peer on their way home, Jared starts running his mouth off about the Cranes. In fact, he mentions he heard Alistair married some gold digging whore who is like Anna Nicole. Damn! Last I left off she hadn't told him about her being that money grubbing hobag.

Coming up on Passions... Spike shoots Chris, making Luis curious about his possible Alistair connection... Paloma's boyfriend Roberto shows up and proposes... Fancy asks Sheridan if she can date Luis!

PASSIONS VENDETTA

I love this show!


Some crazy sci fi stuff has been going on on Passions lately. An evil monk and a mermaid!!! Plus a storyline that's been going on for about four years almost comes to a close. DAMN YOU GWEN!

Now come on, it could be a bit better then that. If Darryl Hannah wasn't in jail she'd be rolling over in her grave.

While Miguel was out fishing he fell overboard and was rescued by this beautiful mermaid. He didn't realize she was a mermaid and when Fox went to follow Kay who was looking for Miguel, instead of finding Kay and Miguel making out, naked, he found Miguel and this mermaid making out. Her tail had turned into legs by now. It's amazing to me how this show rips off so many shows and movies yet is completely authentic. Anyway, the girl makes up some story about her boyfriend leaving her and says her name is Siren. I don't know why they didn't hear the Siren in the background and know she was lying. She's also on the beach in a gold bikini. She claims her boyfriend took everything. Fox and Miguel are mesmerized by her and believe it. Kay on the other hand knows something's up. Miguel and Siren then start hooking up with Kay over their shoulder wondering why she's a dumb bitch. I fast forward through most of this because it's dumb. Eventually Kay finds out that Siren is in fact a mermaid and that if Miguel makes love to her the "mermaid curse" will come true and he will never want to be with a human woman again. That sucks. Of course no one believes her, even though as she points out, stranger things have happened, you know, like her house being sucked into Hell.

Most of Harmony is in Rome, each for different reasons. Fancy first went to get her mind off of Noah. See Noah's ex came into town and come to find out, the two of them witnessed a murder a long time ago. Now the partner of the murdered guy is looking for who did it and for some reason thinks Noah and Maya can help. Because he doesn't want Fancy in any danger, he's pretending he's with Maya now. This whole storyline is just asinine. Noah and Maya make their way to Rome too, under the instruction of Lena.


What's not dumb and I've been waiting for forever is Luis coming back. Sheridan and Chris were in Hawaii looking for Marty. They knew where he was. They also thought that if they were going to get him back, that they should be married, for legal reasons, in case one of them gets killed. Dumb! They get married and the next day go to some mansion to find Marty. While there, Otto, the main bad guy, blows the place up, but not before Chris pulls some poor dude out of the house. It takes forever and a frakkin' day for her to realize that the guy bandaged up in the hospital is actually her long lost love Luis. They're reunited and I'm happy. Oh yeah, she's married to that Chris guy, damnit! After letting Luis believe that they got married in a quickie wedding at the hospital, she takes him home for some joyous reunions. What I love about the soap world is people don't seem all that surprised he's back from the dead. They're like, "Hey man, I heard you were alive." I'm sorry, if my son returned from the dead I would have thrown up, or passed out, or been a bit more emotional than Pilar was. Anyway, eventually Luis figured out that not only was Sheridan married, but that she was pregnant too. I wouldn't be surprised if down the road we realized it's Luis'. They did have one night where they both fell asleep and did it. Just like Shawn and Belle on Days. To win Sheridan back, Luis decides to follow up a clue he found and go to Rome to find Beth and Marty.

Theresa also get a clue that brings her there. Well first, she finds out from Crane security that Jessica, Simone and Paloma are now in Rome too, following the clues to some stolen paintings, ala Da Vinci Code. She goes to Ethan to come with her and although Gwen's pissed, she tells him to go help find his sister. Of course Theresa uses this time to try and talk Ethan into dumping Gwen and being a family with their daughter and Little Ethan. She thinks that if she proves that Gwen is the one who sent the tabloid the story about his paternity, then he'll realizes what a lying scheming bitch Gwen is and come back to her. Which I think he would. They meet up with the other Harmonites in Rome and discover an e-mail that tells Theresa that someone from Harmony will die in Rome. She does get some good news though. The tabloid reporter that exposed Ethan's paternity for Rebecca and Gwen is in Rome. She finds him and at first doesn't know it's him. She eventually sees a picture of him and Rebecca in bed together, and Rebecca and Gwen call him to warn him that Theresa's looking for him. He tries to give Theresa some rufies but it backfires and he drinks it instead.



Unfortunately when Theresa comes back with Ethan, the guy's gone and Ethan thinks she's lying. Eventually they find the guy and he's on the phone with G&R, having just been bailed out of jail by them. She gets him to admit the truth, that it was G&R who sent the story to him, not Theresa. She does have a fatal flaw though, she offers him money as incentive for telling them the truth, and because of that, Ethan doesn't believe him! Damnit! Damnit! He wants some tangible proof that they did it. You know, like phone records, a picture, or a receipt from the cops of the bail Gwen sent to bail him out. I don't think Ethan's ever going to believe it. JT, the reporter, even tries to push a cinderblock onto Theresa's head, but Ethan takes it for her, coming out nearly unscathed. You'd think this would also be proof of something shady because why would he kill her if he wanted the $10M she offered for the truth. Ethan's not the sharpest tool in the shed.



Paloma, Jessica and Simone are running around being chased by the bad guys. I don't know any real details on this because I've been fast forwarding it. They eventually find a painting and know it's important. Also in Rome is Spike, Jessica's pimp. He kidnaps her a few times, but she gets away. We find out that he's involved with Lena and that he was sent to Rome to kill Noah. Noah remembers that the person who killed Lena's partner had the same symbol on his arm that we've been seeing for weeks. Jessica had it tattooed on her, it was in some club in Rome, and it's in some of the pictures that have been stolen. When he tells this to Jessica she remembers that Spike's the one who has that tattoo, and that he killed her partner. Noah and Jessica find Spike and take him to Lena, only to realize that not only are Spike and Lena working together, but Maya's in on it too.

I totally just noticed the face in the chalice. Creepy!


Chad's in Rome as well because he's followed Whitney. I'm glad Whitney's finally on the show again instead of just off in some convent. While she was in the convent she was approached by a monk who wouldn't show his face and insisted he was God. She believed him and followed him to Rome, but not before donning a great disguise. And by great I mean awful. Apparently there's some chalice in the Vatican that does something and he wants to get his hands on it. He has some virtual reality goggles and she tries to use them to go through the Vatican to find the chalice. It's great. I love Passions. She eventually finds it and before they go get it she starts to doubt the monk. She pulls his hood off and he's all disfigured. Even though she was going to leave him there, when she sees he's all burned and what not, she decides to stay and help him because disfigured people can't be bad, right? Turns out, the disfigured person is Allistair in disguise. Yes, he's no longer in a coma. He's been controlling everything that's been going on, including hiring Lena to break up Fancy and Noah. He and Whitney break into the Vatican and make it to the chalice just as Paloma, Jessica and Simone figure it out along with Chad. They try to stop Whitney from stealing it, with the help of a nun, but she thinks she's doing God's work since she's trying to make up for the sin of doing it with your half brother and having a baby. Simone and Paloma pick the lock to the room to get to them. Allistair looks crazy as he gets his hands on the chalice, which in the hands of evil is a bad thing. It's some magical chalice or something.



Back in Harmony, Sheridan's worried for Luis, much to Chris chagrin, since he knows where Sheridan's heart lies, but doesn't care because he too is connected to the symbol and therefore Allistair. He has the symbol in his luggage. He overhears Sheridan's conversations with Luis from Rome and can't stand to hear how concerned she is. Sheridan's having nightmares about her father and with Chris, Julian and Eve, they go to the hospital to make sure he's still there. He is, and Julian puts a pin in his arm to make sure he's not playing possum. He's not and they leave. Later, Sheridan returns and notices what looks like plastic on his neck. She pulls it off and turns out it's just some poor guy lying there, with an Allistair mask on. That was a full week ago and she hasn't called Luis yet to warn him. She's a little mad a Luis though.


Kick her ass Luis!


In Rome, Luis and Fancy have gotten a bit closer. It all started when there was a cave in in the catacombs and Luis and Chad were stuck. When Noah and Fancy pulled Luis out he thought she was Sheridan and gave her a bit wet one. She kinda liked it, and really, who wouldn't? Noah didn't though. Because of the e-mail Theresa got, Luis didn't think Fancy should be alone and moved into her room with her. She didn't like that and went out on her own. Who did she end up meeting? Beth! At first Beth didn't know who she was, but then she saw her with Luis and figured Luis and Fancy were together and vowed to kill her. The first time she tried to do it was in the Roman ruins, which we've seen about three times now with different characters. Passions doesn't skimp on sets now does it? Luis of course showed up and it didn't happen. The next time she tried to kill her she snuck into the room as Luis chatted in the bathroom with Sheridan. He's a cop right? She tried smothering her but it didn't work, Luis came out and stopped her and finally had a hold of her. Unfortunately Fancy fainted and hit her head, causing Luis to let go of Beth and completely forget about her while she ran out of the room. The next time she tried to kill her was at this huge party at an art gallery. She tried poisoning her drink. I don't think Allistair would be too happy with this dear daughter Beth if he knew what she was doing since he loves Fancy, unlike everyone else he knows. In fact, he made himself known to Beth in Rome and she was happy to see him, even though he didn't look thrilled to see her. Without his permission she also recruited Spike to help kill Fancy, which didn't work since he got sidetracked with Noah and Jessica.



Luckily for Luis he was able to see Marty a few times, with Beth running away with him. Sheridan was happy to hear that, even though Luis didn't manage to get him, even with Chad's help. The last time he had Beth, Fancy fainted again, this time because of the poison. He didn't want Fancy there anyway because he realized Beth wanted to kill her. Noah didn't want her there either, but probably because he walked in on Fancy and Luis in bed together. Before she could deny it he drew his own conclusion and talked too much and didn't let her explain in typical soap opera style. Eventually he and Luis came to blows and he didn't believe they didn't hook up. At the party, Luis went to Fancy after she drank the poison and again Beth got away. I hate Fancy. No, I like her, but Luis needs to focus a bit better. Fancy and Luis ran out of the party to look for Beth. They spotted her as she got in a cab and hopped on a motorcycle to go after them. They rode through the Universal lot which doubles at Rome and eventually the cab crashed into some steps and exploded. Luis tried to save Marty but couldn't.

Coming up on Passions... Gwen comes to Rome to tell Theresa Allistair's out of his coma... Ivy wonders if Kay's in love with Miguel and the showdown we've been waiting for begins between Allistair and... everybody.

THE PASSIONS OF MY DAYS
















So I've been a little lax when it comes to doing my Days of Our Lives and Passions report because it's just been boring lately. Don't get me wrong, I still love both shows, but some sh** needs to go down soon for me to get back in the swing of things. It's February so I'm confident some real good stuff is going to be happening soon. Oh, and don't forget the re-broadcast of Passions on The Sci Fi Channel. It starts on Monday, February 13th, from day one!!! See how young everyone is and the first Ethan who is just so dreamy.

Days of Our Lives....

See, he's a cutie, right?


Nothing much has really happened with Jen and Frankie. I mean, maybe some stuff has but I just fast forward through them because they bore me. Until Jack starts coming back around, which he hasn't in awhile, I won't like this story. How many times can Jack die? This is the third time in as many years. If I were Jennifer I'd divorce him and move on when he comes back anyway. First she had hunky Patrick to take care of her, now she has Frankie. He's about a foot shorter than Patrick, but no slouch in the looks department.

This is what I call an ugly cry


Speaking of Patrick, in true Lockhart style, he's sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. Billie has confessed and is going to jail for running over little Zack. Of course we, and just about all of Salem, know the truth, that it was Chelsea who did it. The only person who didn't know it was Hope. Frankie put two and two together, as Billie's lawyer, and found the plane manifest Billie was on to prove she wasn't even in Salem. You'd think the cops would have found that out. Billie begs him not to tell anyone and he doesn't. Patrick on the other hand is hunting down the real "killer". He finds a surveillance tape of Chelsea in Bo's car and figures it out. He goes to the court where Billie is being arraigned and Billie and Bo beg him not to say anything. He can't keep his mouth shut and tells Hope that Chelsea was driving the car. Hope freaks out and calls her a murderer. Technically she's not, but I'm sure as a grieving mother Hope doesn't feel that way. She is furious at her and can't believe she'd lie to Bo and steal his car. Not so fast Hope. Bo lets her rant and cry and scream before he confesses to her that he gave Chelsea the car that night, and signed for her temporary license. Hope does a little more crying and I'm wondering if her face is gonna fall off. Whoever did her lip injections needs to be shot. She finally gets pissed enough at Bo that she runs out of the courthouse.


I have no idea what they're saying here, I'm a bit distracted


It's boringsville over with Carrie, Austin, Lucas and Sami. Carrie's still being a self righteous bitch about the whole, Austin stealing her company thing and is furious at him. Lucas and Sami of course are trying to be "supportive" which in their speak means lying and manipulative to get what they want. Austin offers Carrie a job at his company, creatively named Austin Reed and Company or something stupid like that. She refuses of course. None of the couples in Salem who are meant to be are actually together. I guess it wouldn't be a soap if they were.


Bonnie fakin' it. I'm positive this isn't the only time. Ewe


One couple who I think are fine the way they are is Belle and Shawn. I was a Belle and Shawn fan for years. I was pissed when he went off and got kidnapped by Jan. I hated it when Belle decided to be with Phillip and marry him, but I'll be damned if I want them together anymore. Belle annoys the living crap out of me. She had a gazillion times to tell Phillip she was still in love with Shawn and she never did. Now that Shawn is finally happy with her best friend Mimi, she wants to blow it. Look girl, you had your chance to be with him and you didn't do it. Go cry about it. Just leave him alone. Now that Mimi knows that Claire is Shawn's daughter, she wants to tell him the truth, which we of course all know is the best thing. But Mimi's bitch, I mean mother, doesn't want Shawn to know, in fear that he'll leave Mimi and be with Belle. Man, people on soaps are clueless as to how people will react to certain news. Let's see, what's better, telling them the truth and dealing with it or lying and making it worse? They always choose lying. In fact, Bonnie goes to the extent of faking a heart attack to keep Mimi from telling Shawn. Anyway, just about this time Belle's starting to realize that she belongs with Shawn. Here's hoping she keeps her yap shut, at least until Shawn and Mimi get married which I hope is soon because I love them together. Poor Phillip though, he's just SOL. Won't have a wife or a daughter (or a leg). At least now Claire's better and we don't have to deal with Belle crying every frakin' second.

Marlena being a biatch to John


I've just been fast forwarding through the whole Marlena storyline as well. Okay, we know that Alex has something up his sleeve, we just don't know what. And Marlena, I want to slap this bitch into next Tuesday. I mean I know she has amnesia but she's just going with the whole, "I'm married to Alex" thing, even though her whole family is against it. I'm actually going to be happy when he finally plays her. And I hope John doesn't take her back.

Enough of that, let's move on to Passions where there's a little more excitement...

I'm not talking about the boringness that is Sheridan and Chris. As you know they're in Hawaii looking for Marty. Unfortunately the elusive Otto has been tailing them and hindering their little search. Chris wants to contact the Mob for help. This is the same Mob that was trying to kill him a few months ago, and nearly did. Can they just find Luis already? Geez.


The luckiest woman in the world


I'm also not talking about the drama that is Kay and Fox. Fox is trying to propose to Kay who is trying to avoid it at all costs. In the bowl of sight or whatever they call it she saw that something bad would happen at their wedding. He finally got around to asking her and she said no. Poor Fox, second woman he loved who said no to his proposal. Maybe I won't fast forward the next few days of these two and see what's going on.


Fancy is like most girls, she eats Pitters when she's depressed


In slightly more interesting news, Noah's ex-girlfriend Maya was attacked on the pier. I wish it was me, I don't like this ho. Noah was about to tell Fancy who exactly Maya is and what exactly happened, when they found her. They take her to Noah's house and Eve comes and treats her. Of course Noah gets interrupt about two hundred and fifty times when he's trying to tell Fancy about what happened up in the attic when they saw someone get shot. Maya begs Noah not to tell anyone because she fears they'll kill Fancy if she knows. Why wouldn't they assume she already knows? Fancy is at the mansion stuffing her face with ice cream because she's so heartbroken about Noah's ex-girlfriend staying in his room, even though she's hurt. He really needs to tell this woman the truth. He doesn't have a chance to tell her or not tell her since he goes to help Maya in the shower and Fancy walks in on them. She does what she does best, jump to conclusions. She assumes Noah and Maya are getting it on, even though Noah probably has his pants on and Maya looks half conscious. Of course Fancy runs out and Noah follows her, swearing nothing happened. After some tears and a good slap across the face she forgives him.

Martin and Pilar are still planning on renewing their vows, even though Martin is still in love with Katherine. Okay, so think of the Gwen/Ethan/Theresa storyline and add about twenty years to them, and you have this story. The only difference is everyone likes Katherine, so they're not telling her how wrong this is. In fact, they're basically telling her to fight for him, even though he's still married to Pilar. This really irritates me. Granted, Katherine hasn't stolen embryos or manipulated Martin, but the same reason everyone's giving Theresa for not going after Ethan, because he's married, should really also apply to Katherine. I do kinda want Katherine and Martin together, just like I want Theresa and Ethan together, but Katherine is getting on my last nerve.

At the Book Cafe Simone and Paloma have stumbled on Alistair's files. They were hidden underground in a storage room. Instead of going to the police, they decide to rifle through it themselves. I mean, in theory this is a good idea since the police are most likely on Alistair's payroll, but seriously, what could these two actually find out. I'm sure they've discovered something already but don't know what they have. In fact, I'm thinking they've discovered proof that Rebecca and Gwen sent the information about Ethan's paternity to the tabloid...

As you know, this is a very sore subject with Ethan and his mother, Ivy. They blame Theresa for sending the tabloids the information when it was actually Ethan's current wife Gwen and her slutty mother, Rebecca. I've been waiting YEARS for this damn story to come to a conclusion, and I think it's just about to. Theresa only married Alistair to get him to expose Gwen and Rebecca and they've been feeling the heat. Ethan was going to be transferred to Crane Industries' India office, per Julian, at Ethan's request, but of course Theresa's pulled out all of the stops to stop them. Julian wasn't having it though since he's the head of Crane Industries. Alistair is still in a coma so he had no say. Theresa was able to stop the Crane jet from taking off, but they were just going to fly commercial, and besides, Julian told them that Theresa had no real power as Mrs. Alistair Crane. Boy was he wrong. Theresa tracked down one of Alistair's lawyers and they discovered a DVD Alistair made the night of the New Years Eve party. He said that in case of his death or incapacitation, he wanted THERESA to be in charge of everything. She flips out and is extremely happy. Gwen and Ethan aren't as thrilled. Not only does Theresa stop the plane from taking off, but she cuts up Ethan's credit card so he has no way of renting a room for the night, forcing him to come back to the mansion. She also informs them that any other bank they have a credit card with she probably controls as well. Gwen won't have it and suggests they stay at the Bed and Breakfast in Sheridan's room. I forgot Sheridan's supposed to be running the B&B. Theresa may have lost this battle, but she hasn't lost the war.


I can't figure out what she was going for with this hairstyle


Later Theresa's in the kitchen sporting a weird ass hairdo. I guess it's her "power" hairdo. She has a weird outfit on too, but I guess that too is her "power" outfit. Not very attractive. Theresa meets up with Rebecca in the Crane kitchen and basically kicks her to the curb. Thank goodness. Next she runs into Ivy who slams her for chasing after Ethan, a married man. This from the woman who hired David Hastings to pretend to be Grace's husband so he could steal Grace away from Sam, her husband, so that Ivy could have him. Theresa says again how she wasn't the one who sent the information to the tabloids. Ivy's just pissed because Ethan lost his birth right and won't be the head of Crane Industries. Theresa informs her that that's her whole plan, to make Ethan the most powerful man in the world and give him Crane Industries. The wheels in Ivy's brain start churning and it seems she actually might believe Theresa about not sending the information to the tabloids. In fact, she kinda likes the idea of Ethan running everything, that was her whole point of staying married to Julian when she got pregnant with Sam's baby in the first place. And if you remember, Ivy was there when Gwen threw the disc with the tabloid information into the fire and lied about it to Ethan, saying that Theresa was crazy. Of course she didn't know what was on it, but still. Ivy goes to Gwen and Rebecca and question them about their part in sending the info to the tabloids. Of course, they lie, but something tells me Ivy isn't through with them yet.

Since Theresa is the head of Crane Industries she receives all of the intelligence Alistair's goons have gathered. You'd think she'd just get one of these guys to find out what she needs about Gwen and Rebecca. Anyway, she tells the goon to stop eavesdropping on everyone, and that now that she's in charge she doesn't want anymore spying. He tells her the information is about Ethan and she insists he tell her. He tells her that Ethan's gotten another job, and is planning to leave Crane Industries. Theresa freaks and tries to figure out how she can get him to stay in Harmony.

LIKE THE SANDS THROUGH THE HOURGLASS...




So I know I promised a long time ago to recap the Days of Our Lives and Passions, so I'm gonna do it now, and then hopefully do it every Monday, after a week's worth of shows. This one might be a bit longer since I will give a quick background as well for those of you who haven't seen it in longer than the rest of us. I am writing this for the people who watch the shows, so if you don't, and you have any questions about characters, plots, back story, whateva, let me know, I've been watching these things forever. Please be aware that I'm the queen of fast forwarding. I've been watching this crap for long enough to know when the meaty part is coming. I may miss a sentence or two that's important, but if it's important, the writers will have the person, or someone who overheard it, either say it over again or play it in a flashback. So don't worry, I'll catch the main idea.


First, Days of Our Lives...

Frankie comforting Jen

As you may or may not know, a few weeks ago, a seemingly dying Jack, drove his care off of the bridge and was presumed dead. If you remember he has some incurable disease. You know the one on soaps where they never say what it is, they just call it a "disease" and all we know is there is no cure for it. But, Jack isn't dead. In fact, he's watching over his family, looking much better than he did before the crash. Anyway, before he did a Thelma and Louise off the only bridge in Salem, he told Frankie to look after Jen when he's gone. Frankie and Jen used to be an item back in the day, before she fell in love with Jack, got married and had a kid. So since Jack is now supposedly gone, Frankie is trying to hook it up with Jen, but not in a bastard sort of way. Jen's feeling guilty. Some other stuff has happened recently with these two, but like I said, I like to fast forward. I think they're both just getting to know each other again and falling in love. I'm sure Jack will show up, cured, right about the time Jen and Frankie finally commit to each other.

Austin and Carrie

I am so bored with the whole, Lucas/Sami/Austin/Carrie/Nicole trapezoid, it's really pissing me off. I fast forward through most of it. Basically Lucas and Sami want Carrie and Austin respectively. Why does this sound familiar, oh yeah, because they did it in the mid 90s. It's really a stupid story line. The latest is Carrie and Austin were really getting along great there for awhile. Until Austin's company took over Carrie's. Of course, Austin didn't know it was Carries, mostly because Sami found out and didn't tell him, just to cause a wedge between the rediscovered love of her sister and the man she wants, Austin. Carrie's not being it and is pissed. She says that he's lied to her, and how can she be with someone that would take over a company and fire all of its employees. Um, funny how she could be with him earlier in the week when he was telling her about taking over a company. Anyway, Austin tried to reverse it but it's no use, her company, her little baby, is dead. Lucas lets everyone know about Zack and Claire and Carrie and Sami have a little bonding moment, but I'm sure that won't last.

Ewe

Another storyline I'm not really watching is the Marlena/Alex/John/Kate drama. Long story short, Marlena fell down the steps awhile back, feels like forever, and got amnesia. Alex North shows up, claming that he and Marlena were married back in the day. He says that they had a baby but she lost it. Because of this she doesn't have any memory of their entire life together, and that's why she never told her family about it. Um, ok. John and Roman think something's up with him. Originally there was, he was brainwashing her into forgetting about her love for John. This wasn't working until Marlena thought she saw John and Kate hooking it up. Around that time is when Alex decided to tell everyone that he's her husband. They called the illusive ISA and Shane (old time character from the 80s who they only bring up now when they put a call into the ISA) and had him check out the story. It checked out and since Marlena is so concerned with her vows (you remember Belle being a product of her affair with John while she was married to Roman) she decided to stay with Alex. Some crazy lady, Lois, showed up awhile ago claiming to not only be a fellow psychologist of Alex and Marlena's, but said she knows that Alex was violent towards Marlena. This is all John needs. He doesn't want Doc anywhere near Alex, but Alex knows the truth, that Lois is a crazy biatch, trying to kill Marlena. John shoots Alex, who wakes up from a coma just in time to save Marlena from Lois before she's killed. Marlena is so touched she wants to renew their vows and basically gives it to John. I mean, no "it", but "it". Next thing we know Alex is visiting Lois in the looney bin and it seems like there's something more going on with these two when they share a passionate kiss.

Meanwhile, Bo and Billie's bastard child Chelsea is a bitch. She's like 19 years old and a wild child. She just found out in the last few months that Bo and Billie are her parents. Bo and Billie thought she was dead until recently when after her adoptive parents were killed, they realized she was theirs. She's been a bit of a problem lately. She was in an accident that was her fault and her license got taken away. Of course he plays the little "poor me" face with Bo and he gives her his car to take out. She's playing music, trying to make a call, putting on lipstick and eating a Big Mac (something of which she needs desperately) and she runs over something in the road. She flips out because she doesn't know what it was and calls Bo. He rushes to her and tells her it'll be okay. Chelsea's boyfriend, and Bo's adoptive brother, Max (I know, sorta ewe right) comes along and tows the SUV to his shop. He starts to fix it up and Chelsea talks Bo into not reporting her so she can keep her license. The only problem with this is...

The thing she ran over in the road was Bo and Hope's youngest, 2 or 3 year old Zack. Hope left him at a friends house for the night and after the friend tucked him in, he was able to pick a few locks and chase the cat out of the house. He ran into the street and his big sister thought he was a speed bump. Hope has a funny feeling. I'm thinking it's just gas, but she goes back to her friends house to check on Zack. She finds him in the middle of the road in bad condition. Unfortunately Zack dies. Bo realizes that it was Chelsea who did it, and tries to cover it up, feeling horrible for lying to his wife about who really killed their child. Billie comes back and realizes what's going on so she confesses to killing Zack. Any detective worth is sod would figure out that she wasn't even in town when this happened. I'm sure they'll figure it out eventually and Hope will be pissed at Bo. Everyone is trying to talk Chelsea into giving herself up, that it's not fair for Billie to take the blame. Bo of course is torn because, it's wrong for Billie to be in prison, but he doesn't want Chelsea to be there either. Plus, he certainly doesn't want to tell Hope the truth, and the fact that he kept it.

In another baby dying story, Belle and Phillip's baby, Claire, was in desperate need of a liver. Although I shouldn't say Belle and Phillip's baby, Claire is really Belle and Shawn's baby. See, awhile back Belle and Shawn hooked up in a barn, both claiming they don't remember what happened. Another soap opera trick, if I fall asleep I can wake up and not remember anything, even if it was as good as hooking up with Shawn Brady. The only people who know that Claire isn't Phillip's is his bitch mother Kate, and his father Victor. Victor's been trying to tell Shawn (his grandson) the truth, but Kate keeps sticking her nose into it. She doesn't want Belle and Phillip to know the truth because she thinks Belle will leave him for Shawn. She doesn't care that her actions might cause Claire her life, seeing that she needs blood transfusions and what not. Mimi also starts to suspect that Shawn may be the daddy. He ends up proposing to her in the hospital which is a bit odd. Luckily, but very unluckily, because of Zack's death, Claire gets his liver and is about to live. It's nice he can help his niece, step- cousin, second cousin, step cousin twice removed. I love soaps.

And on Passions...

Alistair with a knife in his back

Alistar, the patriarch of Harmony, is still in a coma. At the New Years Eve party someone stabbed him. We're not sure who, but he totally deserved it. He was going to reveal all of Harmony's secrets. Just about every person had a secret, so a reason to kill him.

Gwen, Ethan and Theresa in Bollywood

Theresa loves Ethan eternally. She's just lied and schemed to get him away from his wife, Gwen. Although most of her lies have been to benefit Ethan, and get him away from that bitch wife, she isn't lying about one important thing. Ethan, for most of his life, thought he was a Crane. Turns out, he's not, he's Sam Bennett's son. His mother, Ivy, was with Sam before he was torn away from her by Alistair and her own father. She had Ethan and passed him off as Julian Crane's. Theresa found out about this, while she was engaged to Ethan, but didn't tell him. Instead, she scanned the information into her computer. She didn't want him to find out and be hurt. Unfortunately, Gwen and her horrible mother Rebecca, found the information and emailed it to the tabloids. Because this came from Theresa's computer, Ethan thought she did it, and left her. He was actually going to go back to her at some point, but Gwen got pregnant and he felt he had to stay. Theresa eventually schemed her way into getting implanted with Gwen and Theresa's embryo. Unfortunately, she lost the baby and seduced Ethan into making love to her. He thought it was Gwen who was there. I actually think he knew it was Theresa. Theresa had his daughter, who now Ethan and Gwen have custody us because they accused her of being an unfit mother. So Theresa has custody of her son with Julian, yes Julian, his name is Ethan, but they call him Little Ethan. Very cute. Because Theresa so no other way to get Ethan, and her daughter, back, she married Alistair. Alistair, in turn, holds her captive basically, making her his becon call to all of his needs. Yeah, all of his needs. He also adopts Little Ethan, basically keeping Theresa his slave forever. Everyone was up in arms, but she's been trying to kill him ever since she married him. Unfortunately, one of those times she tried to kill him with poison guacamole and Ethan ate it, sending him into a seemingly irreversible coma. Gwen was going to pull the plug but Ethan, with the help of Noah Bennett, kidnapped Ethan. It was only about a day she had him, but it was enough, once they finally found him and got him back to the hospital, for him to recover. Now, Gwen and Ethan seem to be moving to India with Jane, Theresa's daughter. She keeps trying to get them to stay, but can't think of what to do. Ethan truly loves Theresa, and is really only with Gwen because they've been together so long and he's already committed to her. I really hope Ethan and Theresa end up together, no matter how many people disagree. Theresa will soon discover the evidence she needs that Gwen and Rebecca sent the information to the tabloid and I'm sure Ethan will be shocked. Unfortunately she doesn't have that much time because Ethan is being transfered to India, hence the Bollywood number they had on Friday which was extremely entertaining. Oh, and one more thing about this storyline. If I hear one more person yell at Theresa I'm gonna throw up. I mean yeah, she's scheming, but she really loved Ethan and wants him back. Is what she did right? Not really, but Gwen has done horrible things too and is so self righteous. I'd say Theresa needs to kick her ass, but she's already done that.

Chris and Sheridan

Meanwhile, poor Sheridan is still looking for her missing son. Her half sister, Beth, stole him and with the help of Alistair, has been going around the world, alluding the police. Also on their tail for awhile was Luis, Sheridan's one true love, Theresa's brother and Pilar's son. Unfortunately, the news came that Luis was killed. Sheridan was heartbroken and felt horrible because she had sent him away. Luckily, or unluckily, we don't know yet, she met Chris and his son James. Sheridan is missing Luis and her son, Marty, so much that she's let Chris get close to her. Together they've found out that Marty may be being held in Hawaii. Something's up with this guy and Alistair has something on him as well, we don't know what it is. What we do know is that it seems that Luis is alive! Passions was doing webisodes on their site and Alistair talks to the mystery man, Otto, and talks about the person who Sheridan "aches" for. I'm just assuming it's Luis, could be Marty. Check it out here...


Another person that Otto was involved with is Rachel. Rachel is Katherine, Sheridan and Julian's mother's sister. Rachel was presumed dead and for the longest time Sheridan thought she killed her. During the New Years Eve party Rachel finally revealed herself. She had been in the mansion and all around Harmony for some time, dolling out advice and tormenting Alistair. At first Sam thinks that maybe it was her who attempted to kill Alistair.

While at the mansion for the New Years Eve party Eve sees a mystery person, not Rachel, trying to kill Alistair. It's not yet revealed who this person is, in fact, maybe I'm wrong, but it kinda looked like there were two mystery people.

Fancy and Noah gettin' it on

The only person who actually cares for Alistair is his granddaughter, Fancy. Fancy is in love with Noah Bennett, and Alistair's not too happy about that. During the New Years Eve party he had a little talk with Noah as well. He knows about his past and will reveal it to Fancy. While Fancy and Noah are out, an old girlfriend of his, Maya, shows up. She follows them around in true soap opera mystery for awhile until she finally reveals herself to Noah. Yeah, I am not a fan of hers. She looks like a bitch. Apparently, before Noah came back, he and Maya had an intense relationship, one that he wrote a letter about and Fancy found a while back during the Tsunami. Yes, I said Tsunami. Anyway, she's tracked Noah down and together they share a secret. The flashback is a bit confusing but it looks like they witnessed some dude getting shot in a an attic and ran. Noah wanted to go to the police, but Maya didn't. Sounds fishy to me. Noah doesn't want Fancy to find out that Maya's in town. While he and Fancy are making love, he accidently says Maya's name. Fancy is pissed and threatens breaking up with him.

Fancy has been busy helping Fox propose to Kay. Fox is her brother, another Crane, and is in love with Kay Bennett. Kay was a crazy bitch for a long time, going after Miguel and hating Charity for a long time. In fact, Kay discovered that Ivy, Fox's mother, hired a man to come into town, David Hastings, and pose as her amnesiac mother, Grace's, first husband. Once Grace decided to stay married to David and leave with him and her supposed son, John, Kay's father Sam, went back to Ivy and they've been together. Kay feels guilty about not telling her mother or father the truth, and both she and Ivy are holding that over each other's head. Ivy certainly doesn't want to lose Sam because of this. Unfortunately, Tabitha the witch warns Kay not to get engaged to Fox. They both see in the magic bowl (har har) that something horrible will happen at their wedding. The last few days have been Kay avoiding Fox's proposal at all costs. Tabitha and her cute daughter (with Julian) Endora always steal the show, and although Tabitha is a bad witch, always trying to break people up, Endora is turning out to be a good witch, helping Kay and Fox out when she can. Last we saw, Kay has figured out that Ivy and Valerie are in cohoots and out to get her.

Pilar and Martin were married years ago and produced Theresa, Luis, Miguel, Paloma and Antonio. Martin, unfortunately, left years ago with Katherine Crane, thinking if he stayed his family would be in trouble. He fell in love with Katherine and they've been living in sin ever since. They came back a little while ago, revealing that they were both alive. Pilar was pissed, but eventually took Martin back. The only problem, like Ethan, he's not married to the woman he truly loves. Pilar wants him to commit to her and Katherine just got up enough balls to start and fight for her man.

Simone's a lesbo.

On the younger front, Eve and T.C.'s daughter Whitney, is becoming a nun because she found out that she had a baby with her half brother, Chad. I'm holding out hope that they aren't really related, but right now we finally know that Chad is Eve and Julian's child. Julian is one fertile dude, right? Eve and T.C.'s other daughter, Simone, just came out as a lesbian. T.C. is not happy about it and rips her a part all of the time. Hey, at least she's not a hooker like his best friend Sam's daughter. And yes, I did say hooker, full fledged. Jessica is a drug addict hooker who's been conned into this life by someone she thinks she loves, drug dealer pimp Spike. Girl, never fall in love with your drug dealer/pimp. Trust me, it never works out. Come to find out Alistair hired Spike to seduce Jessica to the dark side because of his hatred of the Bennetts. Not sure yet what that's all about.

I have this same outfit in my closet

As I do more of these weekly blogs I'll get more specific, and hopefully funnier. It's a lot easier to free style when I'm not worried about years of story to get out in such a short space. There's also other characters I could talk about, but won't at this time. More on them later.

AND THESE ARE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES




So, I know this blog is called "primetimetvblog", but I've already diverted from my original idea anyway, by putting up trailers and what not. I, personally, watch every type of television show there is. I watch dramas, comedies, reality shows, documentaries, talk shows, game shows, news magazines, made for TV movies, and of course, soap operas. I'm sure I missed something in there. My secret addiction, which not that many people accept my closest friends know, soap operas. I've been watching Days Of Our Lives since I was a baby. And a few years ago, a new soap premiered on NBC called Passions. Now I know what you're thinking, soap operas are dumb. Well they are, but so is most primetime TV (with the exception of maybe LOST since it takes itself serious enough to not only avoid any dumbness, but be probably the smartest show on TV).

I'm a working woman, I work a lot, about ten or so hours a day, maybe more, and one thing I don't want to do when I come home, is think. That's where my soaps come in. "Oh it's a waste of time" I hear. Not if you Tivo it and fast forward through most of the bullsh**. My dear aunt CP taught me that. She had two small kids and a VCR (just a bit before Tivos) and at night when the kids went down she could breeze through two soaps, Oprah, The Rosie O'Donnel Show, The View and any other show she happened to tape during the day within an hour or so. She would even watch movies on fast forward. You don't really need to see the maintitle at the beginning, unless there's a voice over of course.


But I understand that some of you can't watch TV every night, that's why you come here. And I know some of you, whether you admit it or not, watch or want to watch soaps. It's frakin' good TV. Stupid, yes, but definitely entertaining.


The point of all of this rambling, besides having nothing to do here at work. I mean I have stuff to do, but I'm what they like to call a procrastinator. Anyway, for those of you who don't want to waste time procrastinating, I will be doing a weekly (probably Fridays or Saturdays) recap of both Days of Our Lives and Passions. Passions is gonna be fun to recap because it's ssssooo cheesy. Witches, magic spells, and back in the day, a talking doll (RIP Timmy). For those of you who decide that you want to check this show out, starting in February, The Sci Fi Channel will be airing the show from the beginning.

Definitely let me know if you have any questions because I've been watching both of these shows for a long damn time and love to talk about them.
