That wont be why Passions is canceled or will be. Passions lost it's touch after Josh Ryan Evans passed away. The show isn't any good right now. I hope NBC does cancel Passions but it wont because they are stupid people. How Days of Our Lives is still on surprises me. John ruins that show imo.

Here's what I think SoapNet should do...

First of all, when "Port Charles" is cancelled, dump it for a LONG time, maybe two or three years, so that fans can have a high desire to want it back. In PC's place, air a classic show in ABC's vaults already, such as "Loving." It was only a 30 minute show, so it would fit right into all of PC's old sluts. Then, when "Dallas" comes, give "Knots Landing" or "The Colbys" a break, and let them air elsewhere. "The Colbys" can go to a channel like the Goodlife TV Network, where they already air the primetime soaps "Flamingo Road" and "Homefront." If Warner Bros. would be unstingy, "Knots Landing" can go to TVLand, but I doubt that even if TVLand had the exclusive rights to it, they wouldn't air. They would plot against me. They are evil bitches. *slaps himself* But that is another topic. Anyways, "Knots Landing" could hopefully go to TVLand for a few months/years, so people who are fans and don't have SoapNet can see it again. Let's face it, SoapNet ISN'T a channel that is in high circulation. "Another World" should be aired two times a day, two different episodes a day. At the rate they are going now, it will take them 12 years to go through one run. "Ryan's Hope" has been on the network since 2000. I think they should go to their usual 1981 stopping point, and try something new. When PC is cancelled, they should start RH all over again from 1975 on the actual ABC network, in its old timeslot, before AMC. That way, young soap watchers can watch it as if it were a brand new soap. If it brings in good ratings, they ran run all the way till 2017, fourteen years after 2003. If the ratings aren't that great, and are just about TERRIBLE, they should still air it! Why? "Port Charles" brings in terrible ratings, and has been the #10 soap for years. At least since 2001. I'm almost positive that RH would at least beat "Passions" for its first week. Now of course, NONE of this will be happening because A: The world is plotting against me and B: God hates me. Have a nice day!

Jt...

There are a few "holes" in your theroies... ABC cannot air "Ryan's Hope" in the "PC" slot because that slot has been promised to local affiliates, and that is a promise that they would not dare break, as it would risk making the affilates angry and the network depends on thoes affiliates to air their shows.

Also i doubt SN is going to drop Knots Landing as it is a high rated show and actually Soapnet got letters from angry fans when they dropped KL to 1 airing instead of 2, which is why they recently gave it back 2 airings...

And Another World is aired 3 times a day...

Here's what i think they should do...

Drop "The Colby's" (who watches that anyways?) and replace it with an additonal airing of "Dynasty" ...

Drop "Ryan's Hope" and replace its airing's with another half-hour show, like "Loving/The City" or "Capitol"... One could air in one slot and the other in the second RH slot...

Replace the weekend "Soaptalk" marathon with a "Dynasty" marathon...

Drop "Soaptalk" to only 2 airings a day... one during the day and one in late-night...

Start rerunning "Port Charles" from its begining and then once its through its whole run drop it alltogether...

Drop "Soapcenter" all-togeter and replace it with another classic soap like "Santa Barbara" or "Edge Of Night"...

And with "Dallas" coming add a "Dallas" marathon in place of the Colby's marathon....

Also i'd like to see SN develope more original programming, like maybe a game show or biography show....

i watched PC from the beginning.
know why i quit?
because of two things. too many recasting of the characters and the stupidity of the stories.
putting kevin and lucy on the back burner, splitting them up. never getting into the big missed stories of the younger scott and rhonda and how karen came to be. or how ray conway affected rhonda and karen. joe and franks dad. jagger and karen.
if those ideas were touched on, it was after i gave up on it.
so many things to get into that i never saw. instead i got the lark character and the repeated recasts. this show sucked from a long time ago. i am not surprised. i hate it though, it should have lasted longer with so much from genaral hospital to work on plus it's own stuff.
it's a shame.

Hmm... too bad it's cancelled. I just saw a bit from 'The Gift' and the writers obviously put a lot into it cuz ratings were slipping. It was actually pretty good. After 'torn' and a little of 'Naked Eyes', it got really bad!! and wasn't it supposed to be about doctors anyways?? I hope ABC gets a new soap, and doesn't make it about vampires or what not (it's good if it's a weekly show, cuz they have more time to have things look cool, but a daily show can't do it)..

Does this show take place on earth? I was reading spoilers for the last episode and it says:

Casey told Ricky she may return to earth.

I know Passions is stupider, but at least it takes place on earth

Series finale this Friday PC fans.
