NBC Universal Television Studio has signed the last of its principal cast members of the hit daytime drama “Passions” to new contracts, ensuring that they will continue with the soap when it makes the move from NBC to The 101 on DIRECTV on September 17, 2007. The show’s last NBC network airing will be on September 7.
Those continuing with the series include: Eric Martsolf (Ethan), Ben Masters (Julian), Kim Johnston Ulrich (Ivy), Dylan Fergus (Noah), Galen Gering (Luis), Emily Harper (Fancy), Lindsay Hartley (Theresa), Liza Huber (Gwen), James Hyde (Sam), Juliet Mills (Tabitha), Heidi Mueller (Kay), Tracey Ross (Eve), Eva Tamargo (Pilar), McKenzie Westmore (“Sheridan”) and Erin Cardillo (Esme).
“We are thrilled that the principal cast members will continue on the show,” said Annamarie Kostura, VP Daytime, NBC Universal. “It is important that the fans know that the show will still be the same after the move.”
“This is great news for fans of the show who will be able to seamlessly join their favorite characters for new adventures on The 101,” said Patty Ishimoto, General Manager, DIRECTV Entertainment. “We are excited about the news and are busy getting ready to welcome ‘Passions’ to its new home on DIRECTV.
Based on the rich history, forbidden witchcraft, magic and mystery of the harbor community of Harmony, “Passions” explores the lives, loves and losses of four core families: the Cranes, the Lopez-Fitzgeralds, the Bennetts and the Russells, each of whom have their own distinct and diverse challenges and desires.
I love Passions on TV, the soap opera. I am switching to DirectTV from Dish Network to be able to continue to watch it. Please bring it out on DVD from the beginning episode so I can buy it someday. Thanks!
so does this mean that i wont be able to watch passions anywhere else but on direct tv?
I LIVE IN AN APARTMENT COMPLEX WHERE DIRECT TV IS NOT OFFERED ONLY DISH NETWORK. WILL THE EPISODES STILL BE ON THE SOAP CHANNEL OR WILL I NOT BE ABLE TO SEE PASSIONS ANYMORE. 🙁
This really stinks. what is wrong with NBC? We don’t have direct TV. we have watched since the beginning. For a lot of loyal viewers, passions is over! We have no way to see it when it moves. What a mistake.
I have to say that this really stinks! There is no way that I will switch to Direct TV for one show. I will miss Passions but I can’t understand why some sort of deal can’t be made between the companies to allow everyone to still enjoy it.
I cannot get direct tv where I live. Cable only. Nor see makes sence going to where lose near 70% of present audience. How many on fixed income want to put $200 on credit card or debit card so can watch passions on direct tv. Maybe if on Soap network lot more could contine to watch it. And no way watch 4 hrs. of today show. Just change channels. Watch something else in Sept. Will miss the show though. Any chance synopsis be on line as before or4 in Soap opera digest? For those who cannot get or switch to direct tv? Edna
From what I understand NBC was going to cancel the show. Direct TV picked it up, so they saved it. I have Direct TV so I can continue to watch it.
I am too disappointed, as I too will no longer be able to view. This was the only soap that I have ever liked, partly because it is so outlandish that you are not insulted. It’s not supposed to seem real. Oh well maybe another network will catch on & do something similar. It was a good run I suppose.
why in the hell would they do that i mean i love passsions but i dont have direct tv thats not fare yall schould have it on both services…..thats not fare……… But I will be glad when they put it on dvd!
I am so pissed! I am not switching to direct tv! I love passions and I can’t believe or understand why nbc would let this happen.
I hate that a lot of the cast members are not going to move with the show. That’s too many cast members at one time. If I can remember the channel they switch to, I will watch. This move is going to do more harm because the are going to lose their following
i love passions i started watching it when i was in highschooL, and about passions switching to direct tv……i love direct tv i just switched right before the said theyd be only on one network. im on a fixed income to and honestly im paying like 10 bucks more but i love my direct tv & dvr (i got for free for switching).i also get the NLF channel w direct tv so my hubbys cool fosho
I don’t have directv and I love watching passions and days of our lives so why can’t passions stay on NBC and go to directv. I can get direct tv becuase I dont have a landline I have a cell phone and not very one was credit card I am on a fixed income right so plaese don’ move it.
yayyyyyyy i love passions and guess what i have direct tv so i couldnt be more excited!
Will they still show the videos of the show from the previous day online. If they don’t do that I will not be able to follow at all. I love this show. I have been watching since I was in middle school. I am in college now. It’s been a good run on NBC. It’s NBC’s lost.
I will never switch any of my services to satellite for a TV show that will end up canceled considering that a lot of people will not be forced to switch from cable to crappy satellite. My cable is awesome everyone I every met that had satellite had problems, weather, can’t get the right position, can’t get the channels they want and so on.
What the heck? I think is ridiculous to move passion to only Direct Tv. I do not have Direct Tv and I do not plan on switching. I have had it before and I did not like it as well as Dish so I have Dish now and I would never change…. even though I will miss passion dearly I can do without it. It’s too much of a hassle to switch just to watch passions. Why would you do that? I think you will be losing a lot of viewers and you will regret it before too long.
I’m very disappointed with the switch to Direct Tv. I’ve been watching Passions since the beginning and my mother is totally hooked on it. We got the direct tv dish but it never worked right so we went back to Time Warner Cable. It will be a shame to take off Passions to put the Today show on for 4 hours a day. I never watch that. And we won’t get direct tv hooked up again. Sorry to hear it go, NBC is loosing a loyal following of fans of Passions. I see NBC loosing a lot of viewers period. TV is getting so stupid with all the reality shows and now the game shows. Guess we’ll just have to do something else besides watching that channel.
I have watched passions since it first aired. I like the show very much but will not be switching to direct tv. I think if is a big mistake to move the soap. It will loose a lot of following. Most folds are on a fixed income and can not afford anything more. Please reconsider.
I’m really disapointed that Passions will no longer be on my local channel. The show is great and the network is making a big mistake. It seems as though I watch very little ney\twork shows anymore,Iwatch all yhe channels on Direct TV. Please let us know what time Passions will be on so Ido not miss it
NO NO NO no no no no Good bye Passions I really enjoyed the show but i`m not switching from Dish for just one show. I just hope someone will post recaps so I can at least read what is going on
i think that nbc is making a huge mistake!!! passions is a wonderful show and now alot of people will not be able to enjoy it. i looked on the passions web site and if you will be able to watch the shows online!! at least thats what the website states. i will miss passions very much and i know when the show switches it is going to leave us wanting more they are not going to resolve anything for the fans that are not going to switch to direct tv. oh well.
I am just sick over the move to direct TV! I can’t afford to move!
I have watched every single show from the get go, and now, nothing??? How sad.
I love this crazy soap! It’s so fun!
I am just sick about this!
OH BOY! I can do more house work! Just what I need in this stressed out life!
I am happy that i have Direct Tv for 9 yrs and looking forward to keep watching it…..I am jook…….thanks for saving it
I am very upset with this. I can’t believe that NBC is going to put the Today show on for 4 hours…That’s rediculous!!! I love Passions and have been watching it since the begining. I only get 2 channels (NBC & ABC) because I can’t afford cable or DIRECT TV. My mother had Direct TV when we were younger and it sucked. If the wind blew the wrong way it went out. Now because NBC wants to be stupid I can’t even watch my favorite show. The one thing I look forward to doing during the day. Please keep Passions on Daytime NBC and FORGET the Today show. 🙁
I only have one hour in the day that I can watch what I want and I have always chosen Passions, because it is so outlandish. It was an escape from reality for just awhile. I forsee myself switching to DirectTV for one channel, but my husband thinks I’m crazy and it is a little rude that Passions loyal viewers were not even given another option,(i.e. soap network!!)
I am so upset about this move to Directv. I refuse to switch to directv for one show, no matter how much I love it. I have been watching it since day one and I am sad that I can’t continue to watch it. I had Directv before and it was horrible!!!!!!!! Everytime the weather was bad, it would go off. I can’t tell you how many times I came home and pressed play on my tivo and got a black picture because it rained or the wind was blowing too hard. It was ridiculous. Directv is terrible and I am sticking to cable. Unless there is some way to watch Passins online, September will be the last time that I see it.
Please reconsider making Passions available only on DirectTV. Many, many viewers will not be able to watch any longer and it is a slap in our faces. To support a show for 8 years and have the rug pulled out from under us is unfair. Just another example of corporations considering only the bottom line and not the people it will affect. Shame on you NBC and DirectTV. I will do anything but watch your network or subscribe to DirectTV -not that you care, after all, I am not important – only your profits. How much was it worth to NBC to sell us out? Will it be worth it? Perhaps a compromise would help, like Soap Network and online episodes.
I have watched passions since the day it aired. I will be very disappointed to have it taken off a local channel and exclusively on directv. I had a lot of problems with directv and switched to dish. Dish is awesome and I will never go back to directv. I think moving passions to exclusively directv is a huge mistake.
i have direct tv but if its gonna cost more every month to watch passions i guest i want be able to watch it any more.i am a huge fan i tape it every day . im gonna miss it.
Boooooooooooooooo. I love watching Days then Passions. I have watched them both for years. I will miss Ethan.
why is passions moving. thast pretty stupid cause not everyone has direct tv. so the show ratings would obviously go down. everyone has nbc. No ones oging to swithc to direct tv. were no tmade of moneyyyy. o well the ratings owuld drop. if htats what htye want then they should go ahead and mov eit. But if there smart they would stay in NBC.
FYI, The 101 is a free channel on DirecTV. It’s on Channel 101, and they’ve been starting to run shows that they want to try to attract viewers for. If you have DirecTV already, then you already have The 101.
It’s currently running some random programming, including the TV Guide Network’s “America’s Next Producer”, and some other programming, including free concerts.
I believe programming on The 101 is also viewable on channel 801, but at a shifted time. And fear not, so far there seem to be plenty of reruns of shows (3-4 times per week from what I see in the listings).
I’ve been a DirecTV customer for over 10 years, and except for one or two instances, I’ve been very very happy with my service and their customer service.
And yes, Kristina’s right… NBC had already cancelled “Passions”, so this move was a saving grace from DirecTV. Sam posted the news about the Passions cancellation back in January.
I can not believe that for years I have recorded Days of Our Lives and Passions. I get on my eliptical and that is what keeps me going, I burn throught he commercials and I get my hour of cardio every day, now Im going to be bored and fat. NBC is trippen and if they move Days of Our Lives I’ll start a movement to burn the place down. LOL. Seriously I look forward to Passions every day, and I will seriously miss it. Even though many of the good cast memebers will not be moving on with show. Now that Paloma will not move on she will prob get killed shortly after the wedding (if that happens) also I guess Luiz doesnt die today since he will be on the show in Sept. Way to kill the plot too. Thanks NBC
I am very mad that my show is leaving nbc, I have been a big fan of Passions since it began and now that it is getting good, they are moving the show…
what is wrong with this picture? I can’t believe that the people that can’t afford direct tv, won’t beable to watch the show anymore…. well I hope that they finish the story before it gets turned off.. we need to know what happens with Luis and the blackmailer, whatever this is for the birds.
I think this is hilarious, I have a love/hate relationship with Passions and a definite hate relationship with directv! As soon as I can get out of the contract I will be returning to dishnetwork and I won’t feel compelled to watch Passions anymore!!! Passions is one of the most rediculously funny shows on TV! Oh well, I’ll have to find some culture for my life or just be satisfied with Days.
i am not happy that passions moving to directtv. i don’t have direct tv.its not fair to some people who can’t afford direct tv. i think if nbc is going to canel the show move it to abc.
IM AM VERY SAD MY MOTHER JUST PASSED AWAY AND WE USED TO WATCH PASSIONS EVERYDAY TOGHTHER I CAN NOT AFFORD DIRECT TV AND CAN NOT GET IT WHERE I LIVE PLEASE DONT TAKE THIS ONE THING I HAVE LEFT TO ENJOY THIS SOAP AND DAYS WHERE ARE MOTHER DAUGHTER DAY PLEASE I BEG YOU PLEASE
im going to be sooo sad if i dont get to watch passions on NBC anymore they should just let it air on Nbc and have it be on Direct TV ealier u no im so sad now if i wont be able to watch it anymore becasue we already have comcast!!!
i love watching passions but the truth always takes to be revealed and sometimes its like i already know what is going to happen the next day because it’s like the same show you’re watching for two days my friends and i are thinks the writer of the show should make it more exciting and ethan needs to know that little ethan is his son.
I will not waste my money or time on Passions. It’s sad that Passions will not be on ever for much longer. I have been watching since day one and met them all at a softball game between Days and Passions. I have grown to love the show and really upset to see it go. Direct TV–I won’t be getting it. I think alot of people feel the same.Good Bye Passions
Like many of you I have been watching Passions since day one, and I am really disapointed that it is moving to DirectTV.
I read awhile back that because Passions ratings were so low that NBC was cancelling it but instead DirectTV bought it. I had DirectTV many years ago and I was not happy with it for several reasons; it was always shut down during bad weather plus it cost more. So I definitely will not make the switch.
I just hope that some of the story lines will be resolved before the move, especially Ethan finding out that Little Ethan is his son.
There is a web site http://www.soapoperafan.com/passions that is done by Dustin that gives a really good synopsis of the daily episodes if you want to keep up with what is going on. He also does Days of our Lives.
I am hoping that they will play the episodes on line, because I really hate to miss seeing the different story lines being revealed.
I don’t think it’s right for us to have to pay for Direct TV, especially those of us who are retired and can’t afford to pay for anything extra. I’ve been watching Passions since it began and it would be a sin if I couldn’t continue to watch it just because I can’t afford it.
I too have watch Passions from the beginning, I don’t have direct tv nor am I going to get it to watch my favorite soap opera, I guess I’ll start watching whats on a different channel in its time slot.
Its Been get Passions Hate To See You Go.
THIS IS HORRIBLE! NBC HAS REALLY TICKED ME OFF WITH THIS DECISION I HAVE WATCHED FROM DAY ONE! I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY ARE DOING THIS.
I’am very disappointed to find out NBC, is loosing Passions and I’ve heard possibly Days to put on shows that are dirty, nasty, not fit to watch. All that is on NBC worth watching now is the two soaps, and evening news. I can watch the news, on two other networks. And go to Direct TV, to watch my other shows. Sorry local NBC, affilliates, such as WTAP TV. You will loose all kind of ratings. If I read correct and you loose Days, and after being on for 40yrs. Do you realize how your ratings, will fall? People have watched since the beginning. And I do say all ages. Passions, has also been watched faithfully since the beginning. Mad, in WV.
I CANT BELIEVE THAT NBC WOULD GET RID OF PASSIONS, THAT IS THE ONLY HIGH RANKED SOAP OPERA THEY HAVE DURING THE DAY. PASSIONS HAS THE HIGHEST TV CREDITS DURING THAT TIME..WHO THE HECK WANTS TO SEE THE TODAY SHOW FOR THAT LONG..WHAT A MISTAKE NBC. AND TO PUT IT ONLY ON DIRECTV, WHO THE HELL IS GOING TO PAY DIRECTV BILLS, HAS ANYONE EVER SEEN THEIR PRICES, NOT FOR ONE SHOW WILL THEY DO THAT..FAREWELL PASSIONS, I LOVED YA..
I love passions will i still be able to get it. I have io. Is direct tv free or does it have a certain channel..
will you still be able to listen to it on the radio??
I’ll miss you Passions…er Theresa
I am frustrated and angry that Passions is moving to Direct Tv. I have been a loyal fan of Passions ever since about 1998-99, when it first started. I am disappointed that I won’t be watching Passions anymore after it moves to Direct tv, because in my apartment complex we are not allowed to have Direct tv. Ohhh I am so sad now, its like im losing some of my friends
well i guess then they don’t really care about the soap fans some of us are unfortunate not to have direct t.v. so what about us fans who were dedicated to passions all these years. I guess i will just keep watching Days.
i have been watching the show since the very begining. i love passions! i’m addicted it’s the only show i am commited to. i think its crappy that nbc canceled it,but i am glad the show will go on.i plan on watching it on direct tv, and wish the show and the cast the very best of luck i love love love you passions!!!!!
I wonder if it will be available online
Neila I think it will but it will come with a price. If it is online then we would have to pay a fee just like everyone else.
ii am hugely disapointed passions iis moviin to direct tv ii really do want diirect tv but da problem iis da apartment complex ii liive iin dnt allow sateliite diishes ii really hope ii can watch iit a another way
How sad I have been watching passions since the very first episode. I realy think that this is a big mistake. Direct T.V. is not offered everywhere. The smart thing would have been to leave it on NBC and offer the show to Direct T.V. also. The show will be losing a lot of loyal viewers. This is so sad to me. I have kept up with this show for years and now I will not be able to. Very unwise choice.
i am so sad i have watched passions since the first episode now i wont get to see my favorite show anymore!!! this is a really big mistake. i can not get direct tv because i live in a apt.
Ditto….live in a complex, no direct TV allowed….what a shame…
I’ve watch passions from since the start… I use to schedule my college classes around it.
I must admit allow a loyal fan… I grow into not needing to watch it everyday, because I knew the next week they’ll be at the same place.
Surprisingly, it took NBC this long. Passions storyline is to weak and to slow… I predicted a cancelization long ago…
But who is going to switch for one show, with the same bad storyline and slow pace…. Passions is going to lose millions of viewers… and gain a few…
But if we’re lucky it may be cancelled from Directv and come back to network television, sooner than we think and the story only advanced about a month 🙂
This sucks, I had directv but they were rude, and never listen nor give u good customer service, and the reason i got them was for the tivo, I ended up canceling service with directv, and I don’t plan on going back… I tivo the show all the time, sucks that I will have to let go of something that is not being canceled, Your telling me the best offer was directv….does anyone understand this. !!! I sure don’t then again, will it even make it a year. Hope so cause i love the cast. LATERS !!!!
im very upset i love passions and since you will be moving to direct tv i wont beable to watch it anymore and im really going to miss it am i even going to beable to watch it any other way ?
I CANT AFFORD DIRECT TV IF WE EVEN HAVE IT AROUND HERE PLZ DONT CHANGE IT TO ONLY THIS KEEP ON NBC MY SON WHO IS 12 LOVES THE MAGIC IN IT AND IS VERY UPSET. FOR HAVING ADHD,ADD,BI-POLAR,ODD THIS SHOW KEEPS HIS ATTENTION BETTER THEN ANYTHING ELSE AND WILL DO HIS HOMEOWRK JUST SO HE CAN WATCH WHAT I TYPED FOR HIM DURING THE DAY SO HE WONT MISS IT. SO PLZ RETHINK THIS MOVE ALOT OF PEOPLE CANT GET OR AFFORD DIRECT TV.
This really sucks. I love the show but as a Canadian I do not have access to Direct TV.
I have been watching Passions ever since the first show and I think that going to Direct TV is a huge mistake as alot of people here think. I believe this will be the end of Passions as we know it because alot of people won’t be able to or are not willing to switch to Direct TV. I for one, had Direct TV a few years ago and had a lot of problems with them as well as Sattelite in general. From what I know, Direct TV isn’t doing very well and is struggling to stay afloat so to speak and is hoping that by bringing hit shows to their network they will raise their customer base and do better.
I also beleive that NBC is making a big mistake by showing The Today Show for 4 hours…..they as a network are making a big mistake….you can only watch so much of the Today Show…We have too many daytime talk shows as it is.
I will miss Passions just like the rest of you…hopefully we can watch the re-runs on the internet somewhere.
I can’t believe you are going to move to direct tv.It’s bad enough to live on small income. To have to pay for a program you really enjoy sucks.I will miss watching your prgram but I will not get direct tv it is too high price for my book
I am so so so sad that I won’t be able to watch Passions anymore. It was my guilty pleasure, I watched it from the beginning, and its going to beover because I just simply will not be able to afford Direct TV or justify switching for one show. I know that the show has actually been saved by Direcg TV but I guess its just really bitter sweet. Hopefully I will be able to watch them online possibly? Come on don’t kick us when we’re down!:):(
I have watched passions since the very first episode. When my job required I move to another shift I was unable to see it anymore. About a month ago I purchased a DVR so I could record passions and watch it when I get home then this crap happens. Unable to switch because direct isn’t offered here (not that I wanted to anyway).Networks pick up on other networks shows all the time passions should have went that route instead.
hay why cant they stay on line so we who dont have driect TV can still wach it or let them put ot on the scifi station so we all can watch it I Love passions i only watch those two and passions is the bom and i hope that it can be watched on a station everyone can see
I was extremely disappointed to hear the news that Passions will be moving to Direct TV. I tape it every day and watch it when I get home from work. I don’t have Direct TV or cable and cannot get it where I live. Nor do I see the need to purchase Direct TV to watch one tv show. So I guess after September 7th, it’s goodbye Passions for me.
sorry to hear passions is going to direct tv, we don’t have direct tv where we live, are any of the canadian channels going to keep it.Its a shame as I have watched this show since it started, and when I couldn’t watch it, I recorded it. Please let it stay where it is.
I loved passions from the beginning and I watch general
hospital and passions faithfully and it’s gonna suck to see them move why couldn’t nbc move it to late night if the ratings werent that great or make the plot more interesting and the characters and can be more melo dramatic and realistic why cant they spice it up and move it too a new time slot and whos gonna watch the todays show for 4 hrs i wont sit through 30min of the todays show its borrring but nbc is nothing now but its primetime shows and telemundo. too bad passions couldn’t have went to soap net or abc or one of the shows on cbs.
and passions is missing a lot of characters whtney and chad and fox paloma and are they gonna act like all the other characters died or something I will miss passions but no direct tv for me but maybe only because I like getting my hispanic channels
Its sooo sad 🙁 i’ve grown up watching passions!! My friends and I gather together every episode and then rant and rave about how and what they are doing and what they should be doing lol.. its been great!!! its the only soap i watch.. I love this soap.. we cant get direct tv here either so what are we to do?? i wish they would reconcider the move.. im sure there are MANY people out there feeling the same way. PLEASE RECONCIDER!!! PLEAASSEE!!!
What will happen to the other cast member that will not come with the others.
I AM ALSO ON A FIXED INCOME(THEN AGAIN MOST THAT ARE AT HOME DURING THE DAY TO WATCH IT,PROBABLY ARE).ANYWAY EVEN IF I WASNT ON A FIXED INCOME I STILL CANT GET DIRECT T.V. WHERE I AM. I LOVE THE SHOW PLEASE DONT MOVE IT. YOU ARE GOING TO LOSE ALOT OF LOYAL FOLLOWERS BY MOVING PASSIONS TO DIRECT T.V.
I hope they finish the show on NBC so it won’t ruin it for the viewers who have been watching it for over 10 years and now can’t get Directtv. I will never watch NBC again. Directtv and start all over again with a new story line, it would be really horrible if NBC leaves us hanging like this without finshing, you must find some sort of agreement to keep passions running.
please dont move it to direct tv. if you do alot of people wont be able to watch it and you wont have alot of people watching it.
I am decastated passions is moving to direct tv. First of all that $200 down payment is bogus. And direct tv is not offered in my town… Iwas very upset when I learned about the switch I immediately tried to switch 2 direct tv! And what about whitney, chad, simone, Eve, Rebecca, Fox, Piloma, miguel, Jessica, Father Lanigan,
This is horrible and a con! If NBC doesn’t like Passions can’t they just put it on at like 3am then we can all TiVo or record it? That could be a compromise. I don’t want Direct TV! I want Passions! NBC you really messed up. I’m seriously angry.
im happy and sad tht passions is moving to direct tv! i love passions! its my favorite show and i im happy cuz A: i have direct tv and i can watch it n e time and it will be on on the weekkends so i can watch it but its only running through season 9 then its done for good! but my big question is if there going to move passions why not move Days Of Our Lives also? i mean days of our lives is dumb and they r going to think tht Passions gets less viewers then Days? days is a dumb show! it just doesnt make sense!
As if NBC wasn’t worried enough about their ratings, they go and anger a group of loyal followers. This is such a fun and crazy show! I never liked soaps but this one, I have been watching Theresa chase Ethan since I was in 9th grade… I am 23 now. This is horrible, I wish I could switch but it is not an option for me. I hope I can watch it online or something… this show is wacked, I’ll really miss that crazy freak! Im sick over this!!! I hope NBC is reading this blog and feels stupid for their bad business decision.
I enjoy the show Passions very much and sorry to learn that it is moving. However, it is not worth for me to change my Dish. I will miss it greatly and hope that in the future, if you could make the characters smarty, not have them standing around talking to themselves all the time, and not drag out the story line for weeks and weeks, it would make Harmony look like there is at least one active brain cell in town. All these anal secrets that do not mount to nothing is a bit numbing. When these scenes are on, I get up and do something else. The best part of the show is with Tabatha and Endora. The special effects are great and lots of fun to watch. I am glad that Tabatha is becoming a good witch.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Passions will not be on NBC! I’m so SAD!!!!!!!!!
I live in Canada and I watch Passions everyday on Global TV. And now, no Passions on Global TV! I can’t switch to Direct TV because I’m in Canada. Snif Snifff……
If anyone know a website where there’s all the new episodes of passions to watch online, let me know.
Thanks!
i have watched passions since the being i love it.i have direct tv already so i just have to change a channel but i really feel for all the people who will miss it.and is it true the today show will be on for 4 hours aday come on this is crazy nbc you are just stupid soaps are more interesting than that. dont mess with days of our lives or you will really get some mail.
Wow, this is complete BS. Whe the hell do they want 4 damn hours of the Today shoW? who even watches it? NBC is crap anyway, all i ever watched on it was Passions. Nothing else is worth my time. Direct Tv is absolutely horrible. If it starts sprinkling out, the picture is lost. Its crap. Its not even a money issue. Im an anesthesiologist, i have the money. I will not, however switch to a crap satellite provider. I currently have Dish Network and it is perfect. I record it with the DVR while im at work. So sad. Passions is the only soap i watch.
Heck u cant even consider Passions a soap. Its whacky and entertaining enough to be on on prime time.
wtf is up with nbc?
ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!! My college roommate and I used to schedule our classes around Passions when it first started. It’s cheesy and terribly unbelieveable but highly entertaining! I can’t believe NBC is cornering loyal viewers into using DirectTV to continue with the show…I wonder how much the big payoff was???!!! Shame on the Passions writers for giving into shameless DirectTV plugs too. I just changed the channel – Passions is over for me!
I think that it is downright stupid that they are taking passions off of NBC but at least i have direct tv and can still watch it. does anyone know what time it will be coming on during the day or what? Let me know sandyscountrymomma@yahoo.com
I was shocked to hear NBC was canceling Passions and the show was moving to a satellite network. The only reason I knew about NBC programming was due to watching Passions. This show is outrageous and hilarious and I love the sci-fi stuff since it reminds of the old Dark Shadows. NBC is making a HUGE mistake. Direct TV is trying to save their company. I wish the cast all the luck in the world. I will dearly miss your show. Satellite dish network is not possible in my neighborhood due to all the trees. Comcast has me in their monopoly pocket. Maybe this is another reason not to even turn on the television.
PASSIONS NEEDS TO STAY ON CABLE PEOPLE!! SIMPLE AS THAT! IF NBC DIDN’T WANT IT, WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE A LOSER NETWORK LIKE DIRECT TV? THERE ARE OTHER BIGGER BROADCASTING COMPANIES THAT COULD OF TAKEN OVER PASSIONS SO WE AT LEAST COULD STILL WATCH IT ANYWHERE, CABLE OR SATELLITE!
THINK PEOPLE!! SHEEESH!
thank you for your time and cooperation… may you happy a happy life with.. or without passions
This is terrible. I’m from Canada and we do not have direct tv. I have watched passions from day 1. This show should have been given a chance to get picked up by another network. My soap days are over, since this is the only one I watched.
I am so upset that Passions is not going to be on cable, I agree that there is plenty of networks that could take it over Direct TV cost to much and have the same stuff on all the time at least with cable you do get a little more a variety and I have all my bills in one dsl, cable and long distance phone why would I want satellite when it’s over $100.00 dollars a month to still watch nothing great except now for Passions!
They should keep it on cable!!
This sucks! I just started watching Passions 2 years ago & I love it! I watch it everyday on TV or online. NBC sucks, this is the only show I watch on the network anymore. And the Today Show? Who are they kidding? No one wants to watch the Today Show for 4 hours! I am absolutely not switching to Direct TV from cable. I have heard nothing but bad things about Direct TV. They should totally keep Passions on cable, the soap channel or something.
I am really dissapointed I’ve been watching Passions since its debut. I scheduled my tot to take his nappy time when Passions start. I am really mad at NBC it’s one of the top soaps out there how can they do this? I am from Canada there is no DirecTV here. This is ridiculous!
i think its sucks and the worst part is having it rubbed in your face on every commercial to let you know its moving to direct tv and to suscribe. well nbc incase you havent noticed most of the fans around the world arnt able to have satalites in there areas so its only fair to those loyal fans of passions to keep it as it is or at least have the decentcy to let us apperciate it in the web please
i think nbc should be ashamed of there self, alot of fans have watched passions since the beginning, they are like family to all of us, and i think you are just greedy hungry people that want more money, well what about the fans that cant get direct tv because of fixed incomes, housing that does not allow direct tv, why dont you at least put it on cable, or leave it like it was, i thought fans always come first, if it wasnt for us fans you sure as heck wouldnt be bringing in all that cash. have some smarts think about it.
Passions has been my favorite soap for quite some time. I have actually considered subscribing to Direct TV but decided not to.I feel that the show will change drastically and will lose its appeal. My favorite story to follow is Teresa and Ethan. I would love to see all of Gwen’s dirt fly just one time. However, I have a feeling that the last airing is going to leave a lot of loyal viewers hanging. I am disappointed about this decision. I wonder if Direct TV will air the episodes like NBC has online. That would be great; but I have a feeling that is hopeful thinking.:(
I’m already a directv subscriber. . .How do i ensure a “no – interruption” of service in order to continue to receive “Passions”
My mother has Direct TV, and I absolutely hate when she calls me to change it to a channel and I cant see what she is seeing because of her ridiculous excuse for cable. I will never switch to satellite especially when the weather is the way it is where I live. My cable company is awesome.
I can see where NBC thought that maybe Passions is far fetched for viewers, but I hope messages like these will change their minds. I don’t think they realize the amount of fans they had behind this show. Like it has been said before, it is far fetched but isn’t that why viewers watch the shows. So that it is something they can focus on other than what is going on in their own lives? Just like any other soap on television today, especially the number one Days of Our Lives. I really and truly believed that this was a break through in soaps today… all the ridiculous soaps that went on and here came Passions to make a joke out of them all. I loved it, and it was fresh. Sure it got pretty crazy but as it seemed to me to be all part of the show, and always made you watch one more day of it.
OMG!!
I am only 14 but I have been watching passions since it came out July 5th 1999. I am definitely switching to Direct TV.
Passions is awesome and I already missed like 2 years out of it when I moved. I am not about to miss a whole bunch of more episodes. plus they will no longer be having it available on NBC.com
NBC sucks!! They actually cancelled the show but Direct Tv picked it up. YAY!!
I’m very up set I’ve watched Passions from day one and now I’m not going to be able to see it any longer. I would love to switch to directv but can’t because we are unable to get service where I live do to mother nature (trees). I will miss passions but i guess i’ll just have to find another soap to take it’s place. But i do hate to see it go from our local channel WECT. Thanks for listening…
I really hate to see Passions go.
But I do have Direct tv,so I will
still be able to see it.But I think
nbc is making a terriable mistake.
Think of everyone who can’t get
Direct tv or can’t afford it.
Please reconsider and let it stay
where it’s at now.I love Passions.
Been watching since day it started.
I’ve been watching Passions since
first day it aired.I hate to see
it leave nbc,but thankfully I do
have Direct tv.But think of all
the people who don’t & can’t get
it.Please reconsider & leave it
where it’s at.THanks!!!!
NOW EVERYBODY CAN’T GET DIRECT TV IN THEIR AREA IF IT WAS SO DIRECT THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO GET SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE CAN HAVE ON THE INSIDE OF THEIR APARTMENT. I AM GOING TO MISS THIS SHOW I HAVE BEEN WATCHING THIS SHOW EVERY SINCE IT FIRST CAME OUT. IM GOING TO MISS ALL THE CAST ON THE SHOW THERSEA IS MY GIRL!!!!!!!!!AND I LOVE TABITHA AND ANDORA THEY ARE THE BEST. I WONDER WOULD WE STILL BE ABLE TO SEE IT ON THE COMPUTER?
I am very sad that passions is not going to be on nbc. I have watched this show since it began. I cannot afford direct tv and now I will miss my favorite soap.
Is there anyway to be able to watch passions on the computer? Now I hope nbc regrets that they have discontinued passions. What ever they replace passions with I for one will not watch it and support that program.
I hate nbc and will not watch this channel at all.
NBC, THANKS FOR LETTING A WHOLE LOT OF FANS DOWN AND I HOPE YOU GET POOR REVIEWS ON WHAT EVER YOU AIR.
This suckz… I have all of my stuff (phone,digital cable,roadrunner)with TW cable. It would be stupid for me to switch for 1 tv show. I do love Passions and have been watching it since day 1, but I can’t switch. NBC is making a huge mistake and Passions is going to lose a lot of loyal viewers…
You guys at Passions are retarded. Now loyal viewers of the show (i.e. me! I have watched from day one) will not be able to watch anymore without switching to a different cable server. I hope the network looses money and passions returns to NBC where it should be, where we all can watch it. My idea? Add NBC to Direct TV! Idiots…..
Why is TODAY’S Show more important all they are is a news station that not everyone can get into. The news is so depressing that a lot of us watch Shows to take some of our depression away. I HAVE BEEN WATCHING “PASSION” since it first came out I love watching Julie Mills. I was watching her when she was “The Nanny”. So why do you all have to screw up other people with your swithes
It’s very sad that a lot of us can no long watch passions. I think they should really think about putting on channels everyone could watch.
Notice how the only ones who put anything good about this move are the ones who have direct tv? I think its so stupid how can they take something that so many people have watched for so long (ive watched since it started) and now we cant see it because direct tv is imposible to get for normal people who actually pay the bill we have to pay and cant afford to slurge on the finer things in life. I think there making a mistake and im really bummed I wish they would change there minds.
i am glad that direct tv bought passions, now it can go on. nbc was going to cancel passions all together. but my hero’s direct tv came in and saved the day. i started watching this show while i was deployed in iraq, its funny and made a year go by fast. once again, thank goodness for direct tv.
I too LOVE Passions and have watched it from the beginning. However, I won’t be switching to Diect TV. NBC is silly for canceling the show and I won’t be supporting whatever replaces Passions. The only thing I watch on NBC anyways is the soaps and the local news.
I have been watching passions years now… the show is so differant from the others and totally crazy but i have never stopped watching it. Asking people to switch their cable company is just insane!! I have me phone,internet and cable through Comcast, if i change i have to change everything… what a hassle… and just for one show?? i mean i love that show… but its a show…. they are making a huge mistake!! please bring it back or put it somewhere where everyone can watch it!! i guess as long as i can watch it online i will be ok… they will probably have more people watching it online then switching to direct tv!! sorry direct tv your not getting my money every month!!!
I have been watching the show for a couple of years on an off. The real entertainment is in the fact that it is the worse soap opera ever made. I am totallyl surprised that it is still on the air. So, putting it on DirectTV may be taking it one step closer to pulling the plug that should have been pulled long ago. If it were a daytime drama, NBC would never allow it to happen…
i have comcast on demand .. and ive been watching passions for as long as i can remember .. its the only soap i follow …whats going to happen to the rest of the characters that are not switching ? .. is the whole soap going to change ?? . or will their be replacements? .. my #1 question is can i just buy the channel from direct tv .. or do i have to change from comcast on demand to direct tv ..? i thought directv was a part of comcast? .. some answers would be nice, considering how good the show is. its obviously going to go down the drain from how many ppl that cant or wont switch or how many ppl are disappointed.
NBC…..Not…Being…Cool
NBC…..Not…Being…Considerate
NBC…..Not…Being…My fave channel anymore!
the one thing that i beleive is that the show passions once it is taken off nbc will not go any where, they have made everyone mad about the move there for they will loose all veiwers and go down the drain. there will be no passions or they will have to bring it back to a channel where there loyle fans can watch. so they can watch their favorite show without having to pay the fees and cost for getting direct tv. who does that, not for one show they’ll see there will be no veiwers left
I love watching passions. I have direct tv, but i don’t think it is fair for the people that don’t. There is no reason for it to move. It should stay on NBC. If not direct tv is going to have a lot of people that will not like them. You should work something out for it to stay on NBC for low income people. The only reason i have direct tv is because i live with my Uncle or else i would not have it. So you really need to work this out.
i’m very upset,i to have been watching from the beginning!yes it’s a little out there but i look forward to when they will finally end one plot and move on i’ve been waiting for alot of things to come out and now what? all these years i’ve been watching and VERY PATIENTLY WAITING and i will never know the ending to all the sh#* i’ve been watching.i will not switch to direct tv they are rude and hateful people!
I have watched Passion’s since the first show. My grandmother and I will call during commercials (since we live 8 hours away) and talk about it. I feel a little let down that they are moving to another provider, than I have. I don’t intend to get a different service for TV, but I will miss my favorite part of my day. Thanks cast for a good show. From a loyal fan for every show.
you no what this is crazy…..like ive asked my parents if i can get direct tv they said no it is to much please…..leave it on nbc OH PLEASEEEEEEEE OH PLEASEEEE
Alright 1st things 1st….why are you movie passions to stupid directtv you think people are going to pay for it i had it and i had to switch back to cable because it was so bad…now im only 12….but passions ITS MY LYFE…whenever i would go on vacations i would ask my mom what time is it and when passions came on i would run to my hotel…..and i would cancel my soccer games or dentist appointmesnts becuase it was the time passions came on….please but it back on cable i asked my parents for directv but they said no……Lindsay Korman and Colton Shires are my favriote characters….plzzz i hope what everyone writes hear can make a diffrence thank you
Alright…1st thing is 1st why are you putting passions on direct tv…??—–>some people cant afford it….i have always loved passions…i would always be exited in school so then a can come home and watch passions…it gives me a boost in school it makes me do better and better everyday…im only 12…..and it is my Lyfe….when i go on Vacation i always ask my mom what time is it she would give me the time and when it was time for passions i would run to the hotel till it was over…and when i had to go ot my soccer games i missed them for passions….i love the characters they are outstanding…like Lindsay Korman and Colton Shires..i had directtv and my family was disaponted so we got cable and thats how i 1st saw passions…now please i hope what i wrote and what people have written made a diffrence i am happy for the show but not happy with myself..thank you
I feel like many of you. Upset!!! I have dishnet work not direct. It seems like to me direct is trying to get people to but thier satillite by picking up Passions. I will not get Direct just to watch it. I really enjoy the show. Maybe if alot of people email or call dish network maybe they will add it to thier problems. It want hurt to try.
So what was the reason behind NBC cancelling Passions, does anyone know? Does it have something to do with the nature of the soap, example; Tabitha and the supernatural?If so why now, its been on air for years.
I have had DirectTV for over a year now, so it won’t hinder my viewing of the show.But I think the move is ribiculous and NBC will be sorry for it.I hope they work out something for the rest of you all that don’t have DirectTV,good luck guys!!
I love passions and I’ve watched from the beginning I hate that its being moved to Direct TV. Im not switching cuz that wouldn’t work out for me at all. Direct TV is to expensive. Your going to loose a lot of viewers possibly more than half. You might as well cancel if you can’t get it on another local station this is the dumbest fuckin move yet. Good luck with keepin the show on after this stupid ass idea goes into affect.
I HAVE BEEN WATCHING PASSIONS FROM THE VERY BEGINNING AND I DONT EVEN LIKE SOAP OPERAS. I COME FROM A VERY LARGE FAMILY AND WE ALL WATCH IT EVEN MY HUSBAND LOVES THE SHOW BUT NONE OF US ARE GOING TO SWITCH TO DIRECT TV EVEN THOUGH ITS OUR FAVORITE SHOW.I KNOW THIS IS A REALLY BIG MISTAKE AND IF YOU DONT KNOW THAT NOW ,YOU WILL SOON AFTER YOU SWITCH. IT ISNT GOING TO WORK OUT VERY WELL SO WHY ARE YOU WILLING TO MAKE SO MANY OF YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS SO IRRITATED? SMOOTH MOVE NBC! DUH
I am very upset that Passion is moving strictly to Direct tv I wont switch for one show its not worth it! But i will truly miss watching Passion it was my favorite soap and i do watch a few. If they were going to cancel it before, i am sure it is a matter of time they will be losing a lot of viewers. Its too bad because its a great soap.
ahhh….. i Cant believe passions is switchin to direct t.v…………….. ahhhhhhh …. im so MADD :@
AHHHHHHHH
im so pissed tht passions is
switchin to direct t.v:@:@
You know what really sucks?! The fact that “Channel 101” isn’t available on the “Family Choice” which is the least expensive of the entire group! May be if it was, more people would switch to Direct TV. Most of us can’t afford it – and it’s sure not worth it if you only watch one tv show.
I had directtv for years, then the price got so high I cannot afford it any more. I switched to Armstrong cable and get both my internet and my cable tv for less than the price of satellite tv by it’s self. And most of the “extra channels” on directtv are all sports, that no one watches. Don’t switch just for one show!
I can’t believe this.. I just switch from Direct TV less than 90 days ago. And now.. my favorite Soap is moving. Its sad cuz I have been watching it from the get go. And now I am left with nothing. I can’t believe this is going to end just like that =(
I am so upset!! I will not be able to switch to direct tv. I have watched it for years with my daughter. I will miss you PASSIONS!
I’ve been watching passion for along time and enjoyed watching all the actor and it have so much love about it. I am truly going to miss passion and wish that NBC
would truly do more to keep passion on air. Why couldn’t On Demand pick up this. I will miss you passion! Just when everything start coming out the show moves to Direct T.V. way to go NBC, what an upset.
I have Directtv but you need to advise the loyal customers what channel Passions will be shown on otherwise it will be over for me.
OMG Noooooooooo why passions man holy i’m so mad can you guys move days of our lives instead like really why passions i have been attach to passions snice Timmy was in it awwww *r*i*p TImmy we love you! imma miss passions still & that evil alister lol i wonder what he’s gonna make pretty Do to poor francy lol
THANKS ALOT PASSIONS !!!!!! I LIVE IN MONTREAL AND HAVE BEEN WATCHING PASSIONS SINCE DAY 1 AND NOW I CAN’T WATCH IT BECAUSE WE DON’T HAVE DIRECT TV HERE IN CANADA….WELL AT LEAST I GOT TO SEE WHO THE BLACK MAILER WAS AND TERESA AND ETHAN FIANNALLY GOT MARRIED…I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO BUY THE SOAP OPERA WEEKLY TO READ WHAT HAPPENS NEXT….WHAT FUN !!!!!!!!!!! THANKS FOR NOTHING
This sucks!! I have watched Passions from the first episode and know I can’t watch it, I do not have Direct TV.
🙂
cAN’T DIRCT TV OR PASSIONS MAKE A WEB SITE THAT LOYAL VIEWERS CAN WATCH IT FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT HAVE DIRECT TV…PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE –I DO NOT KNOW WHAT I WILL DO WITHOUT MY PASSIONS—–MAYBE TIMMY UP IN HEAVEN WILL HELP,I NEED A MARTIMMY,PASSIONS DO SOMETHING-OR I WILL CALL ALLISTER
I think it is such a bad decision on NBC part to cancel the show. There is already too much of the today show. Why make room for another hour of it. Why not take millionaire, or something else, like a talk show, or game show off, and keep passions. It really isn’t fare that if someone doesn’t have Direct TV they won’t be able to watch it anymore. I have watched the show since day 1 also. I look forward to it everyday. I think they should at least keep the website and you should be able to watch the episode on the computer, that’s better than nothing. Or maybe make a deal with the soap opera channel and have them play it too. Since the soap opera channel isn’t just Direct TV and comes with most basic cable packages. This is a huge mistake. I will miss watching the show. Please try and work something out for all of the rest of us Passions fans that don’t have Direct TV and can’t get it, cause of Location and price or whatever the reason maybe. Try and make this work for everyone. Please!!!!!
I THINK THIS IS WRONG TO FORCE EPOPLE TO GET DIRECT TV IN ORDER TO WATCH THERE VSAFORITE SOAP OPERA. I HAVE WATCHED THIS SHOW THE BEGINING AND KNOW I AM UNABLE TO WATCH IT ANYMORE BECAUSE YOU DECIDED TO MOVE IT TOO DIRECT TV. THIS IS WRONG I WILL NOT BE FORCED TO PRUCHASEE DIRECT TV. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WQHO CAN NOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE DIRECT TV AND KEEP UP WITH THIS SHOW. THIS IS SO WRONG THAT THE PRIDUCERS OF DIRECT TV ARE ONLY THINKING ABOUT THEM SELVES AND THE AL MIGHT BUCH AND TO HECK WITH THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LOYAL FANS OF THIS SHOW.
I WILL BE BOYCOTTING THIS SHOW BECAUSE I DISAGREE WITH MOVE. THIS IS WRONG AND I THINK YOUR MOVE TO DIRECT TV IS WRONG.
I have been watching Passion from the very beginning and I think it is unfair to take it and make us switch to direct tv. I love the show but, I don’t see the point in switching just to watch one show. Can’t you share it. If you switch it and the people that haven’t been watching it will make the ratings go down. They don’t know anything about the show. All I can say is that I will be very disappointed to lose the show. A loyal fan of Passions but don’t have direct tv.
NBC sucks. Too bad for Canadian fans of Passions. We don’t get Direct TV. This is just the fault of NBC and they should be held accountable for this very unpopular change … don’t blame Passions or Direct TV. I will no longer watch any NBC programs … as if they care anyway.
I am VERY VERY upset! I really like Passions and I am not able to get Direct TV where I live. I really would like the people in charge of this show would come up with a plan for all of us that can’t get Direct TV. So WHO is going to fix this problem?????? Other wise I think that someone is going to have a really BIG problem on their hands! Am I right?
Well, I’ve been watching Passions faithfully since its debut… and it’s the only soap I ever did watch. And now this moving to Directv is saddening to me… I guess they didnt take into consideration what Directv costs and that not everyone can afford it.. oh they quote them low prices to ya.. but when it comes down to it.. its outrageous compared to cable and heck.. to get customer service to listen to ya is almost impossible!! And no… Directv isnt available everywhere… some apartment complexes have cable, or Dishtv, and ya can’t switch if ya live there. I sure hope NBC is happy, I think this was one of their final good shows.. I guarantee ya no one wants 4 hours of that morning show. *no one watches it as it is.*
I love Passions but will not switch to direct tv for 1 show. I can’t see why that can’t have it on cable also
I have been watching passions for 8 yrs and I will be able to watch it after it moves b/c we get directv. So I say thanks Directv.
I have and love direct tv. but I am not sure about the chanel passions will air on or the time.if any one help that would be awsom….thanks
Well, today is the last episode for Passions on NB. It has been a fun 7 yrs(wow, has it really been that long?) I won’t be making the switch. I live in a house with cheap internet & tv (w/ Comcast Cable) and even if I ould I don’t think it will be worth it. I hope JER gets all the viewers he wants and hopefully the ratings will climb. Otherwise, it will be BYEBYE Passions. Take care everyone.
Jessica
PS For those who miss Passions, don’t sweat it, focus on the new Fall shows that are coming on this month as well as next month.
I think all of us who are fans and can’t get Passions, and yes, we know it was cancelled by NBC, but we should all get a petition up and see if we can at least get the soap channel to air it at night for us so we can see it. I bet if enough of us petitioned against only Direct t.v. users seeing it, and let it be known we want it, and are willing to stand together we could all make a difference and stop this from happening, at least later if not at first….if enough people would stand together we can make a difference..let’s not fuss about it let’s do something about it…and get the show back on regular t.v., what do you say, ??? Let’s be a team if you want me to handle this, let me know, and I’ll get you a way to send me your letters so I can get them to the place to at least try and get this on the road. At least it’s worth a try..
Please put online episodes of passions because I am very upset that NBC does not have Passions anymore and I have cable and it should be on Soapnet or online episodes for like $5.00 a month. I will miss passions since I will not have directtv. I am upset about this and please put passions online.
What kinda crazy deal is this?? I have loved Passion from the beginning and now you are going to Direct TV. This pisses me off as most of us old people can only afford cable without all the extras.
I am pissed too that they are taking passions off and putting it on driect tv
OK, READ EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE COMENT’S, AND , SO………………….WHAT HAPPEN’S TO US THAT DONOT HAVE DIRECT T.V.??????. THIS IS NOT FAIR AT ALL. SO WHAT’S THE ALTERNATIVE, WE WATCH IT ON THE COMPUTER… THIS SUCK’S.
Okay I don’t think this is fair neither. I have watched passions for a long time and I will not switch my dish network mainly because I am on an 18 month contract and I thought Satellite was Satellite and I have only had dish for 1 month. I pay 57.99 w/locals for me to switch to Direct tv and get what I get now I have to pay 99.99 not happening sorry. I hope that Passions comes out on DVD but if not oh well. This is very sad and I am so mad, for them to betray their fans for the money.
thanks
I don’t even think you’ll be able to watch it on the computer. Why would DirectTV give anything for free?
I think they should continue showing passion on nbc. I love passion and now i can’t get to see it becuz they stop showin it on nbc, i love passion so much i even set my vcr to record it when i’m at work so when i get home i could watch it. I’m so pissed that they move it and i don’t y they would do something so stupid
Hi, I live in Canada and I do not get DirectTV here. I know when Passions was on NBC I was able to watch it on NBC and Global. However I have not heard of a Canadian carrier that has it…. if you can let me know how I can watch it, it would be greatly apprieciated!!!
I CANNOT believe they did this!!! VERY BAD decision by NBC. Who in the heck wants to watch 4 friggen hours of the Today Show UUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGHHHHHH NOT ME!!!! Now theres talk on some of the nbc sites of canceling Days of Our Lives in 2009! STUPID!!!! To rub salt in the wound they replace our Passions with Jail Bird Martha? UGH! What horrible decsions, so dissapointing.
I do not have Direct TV and I will miss Passions. Sometimes I am not home so I bought a radio that I could pick up the tv station so I could listen to it in the car.
I have watched this show from day one and I think this will be a big mistake.
I have been a passions fan from the beginning… I don’t uderstand why they are moving to direct tv… Direct tv is horrible in my area so I guess I will not be ablet to watch this show anymore… I’m not going to let these big companies dictate who I use for my tv service… I’ll just have to switch back to channel 6 soaps!
Will i still be able to look at Passions on Dish Network???? I hope so because i really love the episodes…… I hope it wont be a disappointment
Personally, I think that the Ellen Degenaris (sp?) should be cncelled and NBC should put “Passions” back. Ellen is a mistake to the TV world. She says something and the prompts tell people to laugh.
I haved loved watching Passions since the begining. I find it very sad that it is moving only to Direct TV! I have heard recently that Dish Network is currently in the process of buying out Direct TV. If this is true, then the show should be able to air on both Dish Net and Direct TV. Does anyone know if this is true? It would be nice if it could air on the Soap Net also. If not, I will miss it, I will not switch over to anything else just for one show.
I too have watched passions from day one. It’s the type of show that draws you in. I have direct tv, but am not completely satisfied with it. A little wind or rain and it is over for a while. Plus, they have no promotions for the faithful customers that’s been there for a while. I will hold on to direct tv for a while longer just to see passions. Timmy was my favorite. Theresa is my favorite now, and if she leaves, then I guess I will quit watching.(smile)
I think this is a very bad move for NBC. Not everyone can pick up and move to direct TV. I have been watching it from the moment it started and now I can not. Awsome move NBC awsome…..
I also wish that ya’ll would make a dvd of passions, I just started watching 2 years ago and I would love to see if from the begining. I have also missed alot of shows.
I CAN’T WAIT FOR PASSIONS TO GET BACK ON SO I CAN WATCH AGAIN. STUPID FOR TAKING IT OFF FOR A WEEK BUT WHO ARE WE. AND WHY SO SECRETIVE ABOUT THE TIME IT WILL BE AIRING THATS CRAZY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY TIME TO TUNE IN SINCE I HAVE DIRECT TV AND HAVE FOR SOME TIME. YOU KNOW SOME OF THE NEW STORY LINES ARE GOOFY LIKE QWEN, GIVE ME A BREAK SHE NEEDS TO JUST MOVE ON AND THIS NEW BABY, BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND GET RID OF ESMEE SHE IS A WASTE OF SPACE FOR A GOOD STORY LINE FOR SOMEONE ELSE, AND FOX GETTING SHOT, WHATS UP WITH THAT, AND LEAVE THERESA AND ETHAN ALONE FOR A WHILE THEY SHOULD BE HAPPY FOR A CHANGE AND QUITE FRANKLY I AM GETTING TIRED OF THEM GETTING THE SHAFT ALL TIME. THEY SHOULD BE TOGETHER WITH THIER FAMILY. PLEASE BRING ALITTLE LOVE AND ” HARMONY” TO THIS TOWN
I am very disappointed that NBC is no longer airing passions. I have been a passions fan for along time and can no longer watch it. Please somebody out there bring passions back to cable tv so everyone can watch.
i was highly upset when they took passions off nbc. it is my favorite show of all and am highly devastated i cant watch it, i too live in a complex where we we are not able to get direct tv. nbc made a huge mistake and i say we should all boycott them. i have to find a way to watch it, cant go without it!
I am so upset about this move to DTV. I have watched this show from the very beginning and have turned tons of others onto the show. DTV sucks because of the cost and frequent weather outages where I live. BTW, How long until somebody starts recording the episodes on DTV and puts them on youtube or something? I have a feeling we’ll still get to have our Passions fix!! Too many loyal and upset fans that will keep Passions available to those of us who can’t afford and don’t want crappy DTV!!
OK ITS NICE IF U ARE IN THE STATES AND U CAN MAKE THE SWITCH TO DIRECT TV… YA OK… WHAT ABOUT US IN CANADA… THEY DONT OFFER IT HERE…. DIRECT TV IS ONLY OFFERED IN THE STATES… SOOO… HOW DO WE WATCH IT…. I GUESS WE CANT AND THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO…. THIS TOTALLY SUX!!!!
Kourtney, next month SuperChannel iws going to be launching up here in Canada. it’s going to be offered nationally and will contain all of the new episodes of Passions.

Passions is a good series and my wife and I watch it but directtv is so so bad that your paying $30 for mostly informercials and shopping junk.
they should be paying you to have directv basic plan
omg im so pissed passion moving to direct tv wat im i gonna do
I’m glad that they moved Passions. They needed to take it off the air completely. I used to watch it sometimes, and it was undoubtedly the dumbest soap opera ever created. They took forever and a day to reveal anything. They had one man (Alistair), running a whole town of people who just threatened to kill him over and over again. Then you had a witch who looked in a big pot and saw everybody’s business, she could do all this magic (like creating a mermaid), but could never do anything to the big bad Alistair Crane. Theresa went after Ethan for years, while Ethan was saying how committed he was to his marriage vows, while all along sleeping with Theresa every chance he got. Whitney was the love of Chad’s life, yet he’s sneaking around with a man. Then you had the whole Miguel-Kay-Fox scenario, which the writers dragged on and on and on and on and on. If anything this show was just a comic relief, if you wanted a good laugh. At least Days Of Our Lives is much closer to reality.
WELL I CANT WATCH IT NO MORE I WILL MISS PASSIONS BUT SINCE THEY WANT BE STINK LET THEM KEEP GOING HOPE NO ONE WATCHES IT CUS THATS A BAD MOVE THEY MADE.
please bring passions back to dish network it was getting good we miss it bring it back thanks
dvd please
Please bring back passions what are you doing to all of your fans down. Rachel loves passions i been watching passions on the scifi and nbc all the time. I don’t have direct tv at all we have cable instead. I like theresa a lot and ethan to sometimes i like gwen when she is not mean to everyone. Good news that you arrest gwen and her mother along side together. So theresa and ethan can be together from now on. I am so happy that theresa and ethan got married finally everybody will be happy for you. All i got to say is bring passions back on cable.
i love passions always keep it on no matter what station or what channel it is on i will always watch my passions
