BORRRRING! Nothing is happening

[misschief]

Whitney, Fox & a billion other people have been in the lobby of the Adoption Agency for over a week now, and nothing is happening. Fox just keeps repeating "Why won't you let me adopt my own son?!" And the adoption lady Mrs. Wellesley just keeps repeating "You signed over your power-of-attorney to Whitney and the baby has already been adopted." blah blah blah!

I understand that soap writers do a LOT of stalling, having the characters talk in circles and not really go anywhere, but this is really getting out-of-hand. How many more people can they cram into the lobby of that adoption office? Fox is a dork. Please, SOMEBODY tell him that the baby's not his. I vote for Teresa to do the deed. She's been in the house with Ethan for a billion years.

I LOVED this line from one of the people who wants to adopt Whitney's baby (they all seem the same at this point): he said, "You Cranes are all the same!"
Anybody else hear that line as "Ukraines are all the same"? Beth mentioned fleeing to Russia... maybe that's a hint. More likely, it's just sloppy writing.

I don't listen too carefully to the dialog because it can be sooo tedious and lame... but has there ever been a joke about Cranes and storks? get it, they're both birds, and the stork bring babies? Maybe I'm just too clever for my own good. Nobody's reading this anyways, so who cares.

Passions rules.

LOL...That's not true misschief, I'm listening. I agree with you, that writers do stall, but COME ON...how long can they drag this out? Another thing, it's been the same day in Harmony for like 2 weeks! It's daylight for like one episode, then it's night time for 12 days! They said Whitney and Fox has 72 hours to contest the adoption, but according to Harmony time, it was only like 12 hours or so. It's rediculous, but I'm so addicted to the show. I love it! And today, when Jessica was "high" on drugs and her father caught her in bed with that guy...let me tell you, I don't care if I was high on drugs or not, if my father ever came storming into a room with me butt naked under a sheet with a guy, I'd be freaking out! I wouldn't be just like "Hi daddy...hehehe" and all giggles. And I don't think my father would've been all like "c'mon honey, lets go home." He woulda been like "get ur a** outta that bed, get dressed, and take a good wiff of fresh air cause once you get home, you won't be leaving your room for 20 years!" LOL. Well, those are my thoughts for the day. It's kinda fun coming on here and venting all my problems with this show...how can something so hilariously annoying be so addicting? One can only wonder...

[misschief]

Sydney214 -

Thank GOODNESS somebody agrees with me! It HAS been the same day in Harmony for 2 weeks. It's "Daytime TV," but most of Passions seems to happen in the Twilight Zone. If they're gonna play it that way, bring back some wacky magic / psychic / sorcery stuff that's so addictive & amusing.

The phone scene between Beth's mom and "Precious" does NOT cut it. Nor does the continuing Beth/Clown mystery cut it. Laaame.

Also lame: the "drug" thing. Is there some law forbidding soaps to refer to any drugs specifically? They never say "she took too much heroin" or "ecstasy" or whatever... it's always some generic evil drug. Same as on "Days" with John Black. He's mysteriously addicted to some un-named substance.

But the storyline involving the girl who's mixed up with the sleaze-ball "Spike" is MUCH more interesting than the never-ending story of "Who Stole Who's Baby."

Am I hearing this wrong, or are there TWO characters named "Dottie"? Beth's crazy mom, and the DNA test expert enlisted by Sheridan. They didn't spend much time explaining how Sheridan is acquainted with this DNA test expert. But I'm confident that Sheridan requested this DNA tester specifically. They went to college together or something.

Now (of course) Alistair is involved. He mixed up the DNA results for Marty. Alistair is involved? Say it isn't so! (sarcasm)
On Passions, here's how it is:
If somebody's baby lands in the wrong hands, Alistair is involved.
If somebody catches a cold, Alistair is involved.
If somebody overcooks their pasta, Alistair is involved.

*groan*... We GET IT: Alistair is evil!
Fans of "Days" will see the similarity between Alistair and Tony DiMira: the "one-size-fits-all" Villian who lives in a castle and imprisons people and meddles in their lives and NEVER dies.

I'm glad SOMEBODY is reading this

Go Passions... it's your birthday... we're gonna party like it's your birthday...

[Sydney214]

misschief-

You're to funny. I'm glad I found someone who sees how stupid this show is getting, but still is so addicted to it like I am...lol. HOnestly though, this show is WAY to involved with babies...I mean, when was the last time we saw something new happen on this show? Hopefully the new characters Ned and Fancy who are joining the show will spice it up a little bit. Maybe Fancy will smack Theresa into letting go of Ethan, and maybe Ned will tell Chad how sick he is for still wanting a relationship with Whitney. And I really, truly hate T.C. He is soooooo dumb. I had to laugh when he made the comment to the adoption agency lady "what, I can't adopt my grandson...is it cause I'm African American?" HAHAHAHAHA...how dumb can they get? I just really want to see something exciting happen on this show. I will never stop watching it, because I am a very loyal fan...but why punish the fans like this? Give us some action and stop stalling everything dragging it our for 6 years.....geez!

[misschief]

sydney, you're so right about that ridiculous remark:
"is it because we're African-American?"
They're so enraged, yet they still stay politically correct.

Why can't Fox take a peek at the baby and see that he's BLACK? Earlier, some of the potential adoptive parents were looking at the baby in the incubator/newborn-hospital-room//whatever they call it.

HELLO, that baby is OBVIOUSLY black. Perhaps the writers of Passions are unfamiliar with genetics.

My favorite part of today's episode was when Chad was holding the baby and he got in Fox's face: "Would you punch me when I'm holding a baby?" Fox is STILL repeating the SAME stupid lines over and over. "He's my son" , "Whitney, how could you throw away your baby like trash?" etc.

I've said it before, and I'll proudly say it again:
the whole show has gotten SOOO monotonous.
Sydney, I'm glad that you agree with me:
there are WAYYY to many storylines about babies.

Attention, all you TRUE FANS of Passions:
Let's get this discussion-board internet forum party started! 30 people already read this little dialog between me and Sydney - let's get some more input from you "lurkers."

If you love Passions, you'll post something here.
If you hate Passions, you'll stay silent.

[Sydney214]

hey miss-

i know, what's the point of having a message board if nobody's gonna post anything? its stupid. i think chad is so disgusting for what he has done. even though i know the baby is really his, he does not know that, and he has only adopted it to get close to whitney....SICK, SICK, SICK....GAG!!! it's nasty, now beth and alistar are gonna get it on? what's with these writers? are they living out their deepest darkest fantasies through the characters? this whole show is based on incest and babies...yet i can't stop watching. i really hope beth is NOT alistar's daughter...because if she is, then that will be yet another long drawn out plot and in about 3 years it will finally come out that she is his daughter. i just with they could wrap up ONE storyline...i'm voting for sheridan's. it is high time luis get his head outta his a** and start acting like the "detective" he's supposed to be and start detecting. if sheridan is so sure she was help captive in that basement, then why doesn't he start an investigation? i'm just really glad that the cops in my town aren't as stupid as luis, or else there'd be beth's running around all over with sacks of sugar shoved up their shirts, kidnapping women and stealing their babies. geez....luis is so STUPID! i know this is gonna sound crazy, but the only half-way normal person on the show is Tabitha...at least she knows what really going on.

Wow guys, i've been watching passions since the first episode, and if your waiting for something new to happen or like one of the 15 million secrects of harmonys residents to come out you'll be waiting forever! Not that thats ever kept me from watching it! Keep on posting guys, i used to post all the time but nobody else ever posts back or not for like ever.

[Sydney214]

hello brat...i'm glad to see someone else posting on here... we need to get this board more populated with people. well, i too have been watching passions since the beginning, and you are definitely right...NOTHING IS EVER SOLVED! actually, wait, eve's secrets ended up coming out, but thats what...1 thing solved in 6 years?! at the rate this show is going, and with all the storylines and secrets, we'll all be 60 yrs old by the time everything comes out...lol. well, watching today, i was really happy though, because jessica finally got what she deserved...a good ole' a** whoppin, and having it come from kay made it even better. i kinda felt bad for ivy for a second, but then i remembered a few of my own father's bi*ch girlfriends, and my sympathy quickly turned to delight (smiling evily...hehehehe) ya know what i think? i came up with an idea today that i thought was pretty cool...NBC should hold a contest with the fans of the show, and the winner will be able to write themselves into the show...and if that were to ever happen, and i were to win, i would come on as a messanger...and go to everyone and spill the beans about everything, from beth being behind sheridans kidnapping and the stealing of marty, to chad really being the father of whitney's baby. and lets not forget about gwen and rebecca really sending the news to the tabloids that ethan was really sam's son...actually, i dont think i'd tell that, because over the past week, my loyalty towards theresa has been slipping away and i'm now starting to feel bad for gwen...who knows, but i think it would be a cool thing for NBC to do, but it wont ever happen, oh well i love passions...always have and always will, and i'll never stop watching...talk to ya'll later!

[misschief]

Yay! We got some interaction on this board! Welcome, Brat0711. Keep the discussion coming, kids.

Here's my input on the latest Passions developments:

Mmmeowww! Catfights everywhere! After Sam leaves for work, he orders Jessica to stay home. The actress who plays Jessica really starts working her ONE acting talent: rolling her eyes. And flaunting her long legs.

Then she gets in a big CATFIGHT with the chick with the big boobs, the mother of Maria (forgive me, I only recently started following Passions, and I'm not super familiar with all the names). They start tangling with each other on the floor. Screeching, hair-pulling, the whole 9-lives-yards

And, if you caught Friday's preview (Next Time on Passions!)... it showed Sheridan tangling with Beth, I think. And Beth said "you stupid blonde!" again. Is anybody keeping count of which LAME line is repeated more:
You stupid blonde! (Beth)
or
I'm not leaving without my son! (Fox)

EVERYBODY in "Harmony" is fighting. When's the last time we've seen a love-scene on Passions? Where IS the love? Where is the magic? Bring it back, you exalted writers of Passions. I know you're reading this.

My vote for a nice new love story: Teresa + Beth. Teresa needs somebody, and Beth needs to stop smooching Alistair. That scene would turn ANY girl gay.

Bring on the responses, girls!

[Sydney214]

hey girls-

yes, i agree, there needs to be a love seen on passions soon...and NOT between alistar and beth...GROSS! there has not been a love scene forever, and if the first one they show is alistar and beth, i will vomit...who wants to see old wrinkly skin when we could be seeing some hotties, like ethan or fox. (i'm not gonna say luis, because i don't think he's that good looking) when they showed fox arriving that the island to rescue gwen and the baby and ketherine, he had no shirt on, and i was in shock, that's the first bare chested man we've seen on passions in a while, and i want MORE DARNIT....hehehehe i'm just upset that i have to go 2 days without passions now....UGH! oh well, i guess i can wait till monday. also, passions will be airing shows from vegas soon, and i live in vegas. whenever i go to the strip, i look for any of the cast in hopes of at least catching a glimpse, but none so far. it was on the news out here though. if anyone knows anything about it, like if they're gonna be doing an autograph session or something for fans, please let me know. well, i'll catch ya later.

[misschief]

Passions from Vegas?! Ooo la-la! I've seen lots of promotional plugs for a "Win a Passionate Get-a-Way" cruise from Passions or some crap, but nothing about Vegas. I LOVE vegas, and every good NBC show deserves a gimmicky series of episodes from LV, NV.

This may be off-topic, but I can't resist...

A few years ago, I worked for Paramount, and some of my job assignments brought me to where Passions is filmed (known as "The Radford Studio Lot" in Studio City, just North of Hollywood). This was about 3 years ago, before I watched Passions. And they film a LOT of stuff at Radford - Will & Grace, 70s Show, etc. It's huge. My job was to escort sitcom audience members from the outside gate to the studio stages for the various sitcoms.

And several times I remember walking past a huge sound-stage for something called "Passions." All I remember was: they had a TON of sets (walls, furniture, etc) all folded away and warehoused.

Again, I remind you - this was a few years ago, before I started watching Passions. But I remember thinking:
"d**n! They have a ton of sets!" and it was one of the bigger sound-stages at the Radford lot.

Anybody else ever been to the Radford lot? Unlike my other former workplace (Paramount Studios Hollywood), Radford was not open to the public. So my question is probably a long-shot.

Just curious.

Keep lovin' the Passions... and if you're Passionate about it, start talking or KEEP talking! (go Sydney and Brat!)

hey every1...
wow miss, that had to be so awesome working around all those sets...yea, about them being in vegas, the cast was here, cause it showed it on the news...whenever theres celebs in vegas, the media is usually swarming around them. the media out here is pretty hectic...the mayor just recently honored P. Diddy with "P. Diddy Day." there were tons, and i mean TONS of ppl here for it, with a crap load of media ppl cause p. diddy was sposed to be here...and ya know what happened? diddy never showed up...LMAO ;D it was hilarious...wow, that was way off topic, but it leads to my point anyways. i know alot of ppl who work on the strip, and i told em all "keep an eye out for ppl on my soap, and if u see em, take their pic or get an autograph for me or something." lol....i'm so cheesy when it comes to this show. i get so into it that i actually yell at the tv when something or someone on the show makes me mad....lol. ttya'll lata!

peace!
