Why was Passions Cancelled?


Unless I'm blind, I can't find a "search" button or box. I remember Passions being moved to Directv or something and then it was cancelled. Do any of you know why? I know it got pretty "out there", but was that the reason?

reply

Ratings...not enough viewers.

Fans got tired of being jerked around and stopped watching. As a shuis fan I'm glad I stopped watching when I did (the very beginning of Luis and Fancy in Rome) it sounds like I wouldn't have gotten a payoff if I had been loyal to the end.

reply

I agree with you on that. The storyline NEVER finished especially the Theresa/Ethan/Gwen storyline. Just when you think there was a big break, you get rickrolled with someone dreaming about the big break. I was so damn sick of that. I think if they just finished storylines and went on with new ones, it would still be on now.

Its main reason for canceling was because DirectTV decided not to renew the contract and couldn't sell the rights to any other Network so they had to end it. which is sick. Ifthey had Just renewed the contract, it'd be on today. I especially loved seeing Blair Redford as the best Miguel of all three.

I don't think so. I think Jesse Metcalf was the hottest Miguel.

reply

Storylines that went on with no resolution was tiresome as well as characters who were over the top like Alistair. Also, the show had ignored everything that was written in Hidden Passions which meant those of us who bought it were robbed.

reply

Lots of people prefer Jesse Metcalfe. He made have been sexy and all, but Blair Redford was the best, because he brought a seriousness to the role none of the ohers could think of.

I think they should have ended with all the couples with their soul mates not like it ended the way it did. First of all I hated that Kay never pay for her evil deeds and Charity and Miguel never got back together. I still think that Miguel/Kay pairing is wrong on so many levels including making Kay good all of a sudden. anyone agree w/me?

reply

No. I think the ending was perfect. Everyone ended up with the right people. Kay and Miguel belong together. I love Charity very much. But Kay and Miguel Just fit.

NO mistoffelees12 Kay and Miguel were not fit because she trapped him by getting pregnant and obsessing him and was whiling to kill Charity who did nothing to her! ARE YOU INSANE! It's like saying that it okay to do that to someone and she is evil to! I think Kay could have a soul mate someone else than Miguel. Seriously why do people like the Miguel/Kay pairing I have no idea because I see nothing but she technically raped him and he is brainwashed by her because she made him think she was Charity if anybody forgot. She used a child to make him stay w/her so I don't that pairing is perfect because it's like saying that you steel someone else love and get away with it. Honestly IT IS NOT A RIGHT PAIRING OKAY! I don't think Kay had the right to destroy a couple that were in love and were soul mates in my opinion. Seriously that is severely messed up.

reply

Excuse me, but Miguel was my favorite character. Especially Blair Redford. Miguel belonged with Kay. I loved Charity. Miguel and Charity were a cute couple. But Miguel and Kay were better. Kay can give Miguel all he wants. She knows how to and uses her magic for good.

She wasn't always good did you not watched the earlier episodes cause how the hell do the writers expect us to except a good Kay and pretend that everything she did never happened?

reply

I saw every single episodes. She WAS always good. Kay was never a villain. She did bad things, rape Miguel and try to get Charity away from him, but she was never evil. Just doing bad things to get her way is all.

That would still be evil also and if you remember that Tabby told Prudence Standish that one of her descendants would use her powers for evil. Kay Bennett was the one as I like to point out.

reply

No. Kay was not evil. End of it. Period. Kay was good always. She Just did a few bad things.

KAY IS EVIL! Do you honestly think that if Miguel found out what she did to break up him and Charity. I don't think he stay with her if he found out, and second of all her dirty laundry didn't get out compared to others whose did get out, so I doubt that Kay was always good when she was trying to hurt Charity who barley did nothing to her. Mistoffelees12 did you not watch the earlier episodes or did you have to accept a good and forget what she did in the earlier years? I don't think so!

reply

Shut up! Just shut up! I watched every episode. KAY IS GOOD! FINAL!!

reply

Well here a news flash her change didn't seem sincere and seriously she gets rewarded for her behavior compared to Jessica and Charity. Honestly, the writers were way off into making Kay a good person without having her dirty secrets come out? Plus if the writers ever did bother with the good vs. evil thing, they could have Kay pretending to good only to still be working for the dark side and kills Tabitha for switching sides at least in my opinion if the writers ever did bother sticking to a plot line.

reply

It would be nice if they could put Passions on DVD....i would certainly uy every episode.....

reply

I would also buy the DVD.

I still like to point out that the Miguel and Kay is wrong on so many levels.

reply

Miguel and Kay were best friends since they were little, and he even stated in an episode if Charity hadn't come along, Kay would have been his girl. To me they made complete sense since they had a solid bond long before Charity came to town. Other than Luis and Sheridan, they were my favorite couple. Now Luis and Fancy I never liked. Also all the horrible things Theresa did to get Ethan I never understood why they kept putting them back together, in real life he would have been through with her long before

reply

Storylines lasting 2 or 3 years.
Alister motives making no kind of sense.
Story lines that had a billion plot holes
All of the major couples breaking up

reply

"Passions" Sounds like the name of some strip club in Tulsa!

reply

Shut up! Just shut up! I watched every episode. KAY IS GOOD! FINAL!!


You've gotta be kidding me.

Kay is evil. Pure evil. She sells her soul at one point. It's her fault the Bennett house sinks into the ground and is completely consumed. Kay is responsible for a good chunk of evil being let loose in Harmony in the years 2000-2003. Kay is responsible for Pilar's house burning down. Kay is responsible for destroying Charity & Miguel's relationship. Kay is responsible for freezing Charity in ice for almost a year. Kay is responsible for bringing evil into Harmony over and over and over again. It's sickening.

The very fact that she ends up with Miguel in the end is sickening, and it tells me writers didn't care what they were doing with their characters.

reply

And in a way Timmmys death is Kays fault too.

reply

I agree I hate that Miguel never found out what Kay did.

reply

I agree with so many of you who tuned out because of being jerked around. 1 day in harmony was 45 days in the real world. I was getting so frustrated with the "I have to tell you something..." then fade to black, rince repeat the following episode. It was ridiculous.
