The Sci Fi Channel is going into the soap business. Beginning next week (February 13, 2006) the science fiction cable channel, owned by NBC Universal will begin airing the Emmy Award winning soap opera “Passions”, starring Juliet Mills as part of its 9AM ET/PT morning schedule.

“Passions” has been runnuing on NBC daytime TV for six years and will begin on SciFi with show number one. The soap has been described as a blending of the supernatural, fantasy, magic, and of course passion and romance.

    what happened to the early episodes that were on the sci-fi channel? I miss them because I did not watch them when they originally aired and I wanted to see them.

    I am so glad Passions is going to live on. I already have Direct TV so all I have to do is know the channel.. which is Scfi and then the time.. thanks for keep it alive I have watched it since the start and wish to continue. I miss little Timmy, he WAS the best living doll!
    I wish you good luck in the change & I will be watching.From Brooksvill,Florida.

    I don’t have direct tv and don’t plan on getting it. I can say that I hated Passions when it first came out because it took the place of my beloved Another World of which I had watched since I was a child. Now Passions is one of the only 2 soaps that I watch. Days of our lives is number one then passions. I would watch Passions on sci-fi (1) if it came on in the afternoon. If it is in the morning you can count me out. I am a stay at home 58 year old woman that has become disabled and my getting up time depends how my night went as far as being able to sleep. (2) For some reason right now the sci-fi channel reception that I am getting is horrible.It has a buzzing in it with some almost invisible streaks going across the tv. This only happens on this channel. So until this is cleared up it is useless to try to watch the channel. Some of the shows they have on now are so stupid. Since when did wrestling become science fiction. We have sports stations for that. I would rather watch re-runs of the x-files (still love that show and miss it), the twilight zone or what is wrong with movies per taining to ghosts, or anything scary, but not the same ones over and over and over. The problem is that I have been a fan of sci-fi and horror movies that I have seen them all and have to wait for a new one to come out, then go to the theater, go to the movie rental stores before it come to tv and then for public purchase. Who do I contact about this chanel being unwatchable?

    I have watched passions from day 1 and very upset it is moving to direct tv….i had direct tv at one point but it went out every time the wind blew…i will not be switching over to direct tv and will miss passions…i think cable should pick it up and put it on one of their million channels

    I have watched passion from day 1 and very upset that they took it off of regular tv. I have dish network and I wish they would put passion on a channel on dish network so I can continue to watch it.
