Series Description:
A campy soap opera that initially centered around horror-oriented themes like witches, warlocks and doorways to Hell. In later years, the soap has shifted to include more of the typical romantic storylines with some supernatural elements. Stories take place in the fictional New England town of Harmony and follows members of the Crane, Lopez-Fitzgerald, Bennett, and Winthrop families.

It looks like the evil-doings of Gwen (Liza Huber) are finally going to be exposed and Ethan (Eric Martsolf) and Theresa (Lindsay Hartley) will finally be together. Unfortunately, their happiness will be short-lived because Harmony’s long-dormant volcano is about to erupt and will destroy all of the town and its residents. Their one hope is for Tabitha (Juliet Mills) to agree to be baptized and forsake her evil ways forever.

Behind the Scenes

Passions was cancelled by NBC in January 2007 because of low ratings. DirecTV made a special arrangement to fund production of the soap and began airing it exclusively in the Fall of 2007, hoping that fans would be willing to subscribe to the satellite TV service or to pay an online subscription fee. Unfortunately, the deal didn’t work out as well as expected and DirecTV pulled the plug in December 2007. Execs tried to find another outlet for the soap but were ultimately unsuccessful.
The series finale of Passions was filmed in March 2008. Many props and costumes were auctioned off in August 2008 with the proceeds benefiting charities through the Entertainment Industry Foundation.
