If the show wasn't cancelled
Hypothetically, what if Passions wasn't cancelled? What are some of the storylines you would of liked to see had the show continued? What if anything would Passions of had to do to become a "classic" and long-running soap so to speak? Would it even be possible considering some of the subject matter and controversial storylines? Above are some of the ideas I have about what could of been, they're all opinions mind you, feel free to disagree with them. One of which has been in my head for the past two days.
Lets say the show picks up three years after the finale. Alistair Crane, seemingly shot dead from a distance by Vicki has long since shown back up alive and well, you wouldn't have to explain it, he's just there. Meanwhile, Crane Industries is on the verge of financial ruin, with Julian scrambling to save the company before it goes under. He's been trying to rebuild the company's reputation after the numerous illegal acts perpetrated by Alistair. He has since married Eve though they're marriage is strained as Julian has started drinking from all the stress. He's also under pressure from Alistair to relinquish control of Crane Industries back to him, which Julian refuses to do. Nevermind the fact his son and daughter are both certifiably insane and Fox's death is still fresh in his mind. Elsewhere Tabitha has been living with the Bennetts and using her powers for good, though they're considerably weaker now.
Alistair would attempt to run for public office of all things, and would be shot and (seemingly) paralyzed from the waist down. Now confined to an electric wheelchair, Alistair is still as conniving as ever, and would continue his villainess ways. Vicki would appear seemingly reformed, but soon returns to her wicked ways after a visit from Alistair, she would later turn out to be yet another Crane grandchild, who Alistair attempts to mold in his image, treating her much the same way he once treated Fancy. All the while Alistair would attempt to gain custody of Endora from Tabitha as well.
Later, on Halloween night Maria, daughter of Miguel and Kay is out trick or treating. Elsewhere Julian has gotten drunk and gotten behind the wheel. Commenting is father is evil, his son is insane, his other son is dead, and his daughter Pretty is also crazy. In a stupor, Julian accidentally hits Maria, but keeps going, not realizing what happened. Later in the hospital her injuries are so extensive even magic can't help, with Tabitha commenting that since she's a good witch now, only black magic could bring someone back. Maria sadly succumbs to her injuries. Later Julian discovers what happened and puts the pieces together, but doesn't say anything.
Later Alistair finds out about what happened, and uses the information to blackmail Julian into making him CEO of Crane Industries. Julian, knowing he'd possibly go to prison, reluctantly gives into Alistair's demands. Later we find out Alistair has been faking his paralysis, having only lost the use of his legs for a week or so after being shot. The last part in regards to Julian hitting Maria is just a thought of mine, and even if the show were to continue in some form, I'm not sure if it would be a good idea to actually go through with said storyline.
Feel free to add your own two cents.
