You Are My Passion for Life...

Finally

2006-05-17T16:13:00.000-07:00

I'm glad Tabitha finally explained why she doesn't age!

He's alive!!!!

2006-03-16T17:04:00.000-08:00

I'm so excited about Sheridan and Luis's reunion! I loved the look on Chris's face when Sheridan said that Luis was alive. It was like disbelief, shock and dismay all rolled into one! I really hope Sheridan leaves Chris right away. And I hope the rumor about their marriage (that it's not legal) turns out to be true! Shuis has got to be Passions's most beloved couple.

Let's Talk About Sex...ism

2006-02-23T15:44:00.000-08:00

This whole Ethan not wanting Gwen to go back to work thing made me dislike Ethan for the first time in a while (yes, he's become a sissy, but I like him anyway). What is so wrong about a woman making more money than her husband? And it's like Ethan doesn't want to be with his own daughter...he's trying to push her off on Gwen (someone who's not even really related to Jane)! Ethan's "But you were supposed to stay home with the kids" mantra was making me sick. Even Gwen was acting sexist (toward women) when she kept saying it would just be for a short while, though she was probably trying to soothe Ethan's ego. But her "I love to try on pretty shoes and suits" comment lent credence to what seems like JER's sexist nature. That Theresa thinks it's "OK" for Ethan to act like a chauvinist pisses me off as well, but I'll chalk up much of that to her obsession.

As for NuMiguel, his deliveries today were extremely flat. I really hopes he improves. NuFox is only slightly better at delivering his lines. Not that Passions (and soaps in general) are known for pulling in the best actors. As long as they're hot, they're great. And NuMiguel certainly is (hot).

Sheris? Chreridan?

2005-12-15T10:43:00.000-08:00

So what do we call this new Chris/Sheridan pairing? Sheris? Chredidan? At least we know Tabitha is only "allowing" this because Luis is still alive. Poor Sheridan had to ruin her beautiful coat! But when Luis appears from the dead, if Sheridan doesn't go back to him I will be pissed off. I think the only thing that is saving "Chris" right now is his accent. It's certainly not his acting skills!

Now let's talk about TC's parenting skills, or lack thereof. When his daughters are younger, he overtly favors Whitney, because he wants her to fulfill his old dream. And now, when Simone comes out as a lesbian, he displays what a parent shouldn't: a lack of unconditional love and support for his child. It's pathetic that TC is such a hypocrite. Like Eve said, blacks were discriminated against (and still are), and TC has been the recipient of such discrimination. But he doesn't hesitate to denigrate something he doesn't understand. I don't advocate racial prejudice at all, but I think TC needs to get a dish of what he's giving Simone.

In other news, we are finally going to find out who the woman with the red nails is. Like I've said, I don't really follow the story online, but I think I'll make an exception on December 30.

Today's Show

2005-12-13T10:28:00.000-08:00

Ugggh, Chris and Sheridan make me want to vomit. Since Sheridan is basically June Cleaver right now, why doesn't Chris go out and find a job? He's out of the Witness Protection Program, so he's free to galavant around as he pleases

And let's talk about Theresa. "God, if Ethan wakes up, I promise I'll leave him alone. I'll give up on our love." Yeah, right. Theresa, give up on Ethan? I seem to recall her saying that a couple of years back. Theresa isn't exactly good at keeping promises.

Those were some nasty things Valerie said to Kay. And poor Kay, coming out looking like the villain. I really don't like the stance the show has taken on this...why is it such a big deal that Kay is a single parent? Even though her father accepts it, he talks about it like it's some horrible tragedy.
Also, it would be pretty cool if Fox found out about Tabitha being a witch. He'd probably be pretty accepting about it. You know Endora would love it.

'Bye 'Bye Foah?

2005-12-10T09:56:00.000-08:00

SO it looks like Fancy and Noah are on the rocks again. Not that I blame Fancy in the least. If I'd made a pact with my boyfriend not to lie or let stupid things break us up and this happened, I'd go off the deep end! It was too hilarious, though, when Fancy went to the convenience store and picked up the soap opera magazine. And then she made the pithy comment on her way out: "Soaps are like life..."
THOUGH Foah will be broken up again, at least Fancy knows Noah didn't cheat on her. Not that what he did was better, but at least he was faithful, right?

Mission Accomplished?

2005-12-06T11:02:00.000-08:00

Has Liz broken up Julian and Eve? I highly doubt it. Passions' regular viewers are good enough at predicting plots to realize the setup for this one. I'm almost positive Eve will forgive Julian. And if she doesn't, she's rather gullible and doesn't realize the extent of Liz's capabilities.

Poor Julian

2005-12-05T16:41:00.000-08:00

All I really have to say today that I feel badly for Julian. Yeah, I know, he supposedly raped her decades ago, but he is a changed man. And while it's understandable that Liz has the right to be angry, Julian doesn't deserve what he's getting. And we all know how psychotic Liz is. I'm just hoping that Eve learns the truth of the situation. I mean, she knows that Liz is very disturbed, so if Julian says he was having sex with Liz to save Eve, Eve will definitely believe it. I really hope Julian doesn't lie about this for Eve's sake. Then again, Eve also knows nothing about the Jubecca agreement. But that's a whole other story...

And Finally...

2005-12-03T08:56:00.000-08:00

NO, I haven't been watching the "Passions Red" storylines. I once had computer problems trying to watch it, so I figured that was that. But I just learned on Dustin's page that (spoiler!!!) LUIS IS ALIVE AND BEING HELD PRISONER!!! Who wouldn't be excited to hear this juicy (although predictable) nugget? I don't know about you, but I really, really miss Luis! I was so excited when he appeared to Sheridan at the beach.

WHEN Luis comes back from the dead, it's obvious that there will be a love triangle. And if Luis and Sheridan don't finally end up together, well, it's be war betwen JER and half (or more) of his viewers, myself inlcuded! I think there's a general consensus out there that Chris and Sheridan (Chreridan? Shris?) are a boring as hell couple. "Oh, Chris, thank you so much for being here. Thank goodness for you and James." "Sheridan, I love you. I'd do anything for you." Oh, well, at least Chris is a (slightly) better actor than Tontonio.

IF you have any comments, questions or concerns, bring them up and I'll be sure to answer them on my blog?

Aunt Irma, et al

2005-12-01T18:59:00.000-08:00

I've been thinking that Aunt Irma showed up this year out of the blue. It was obviously used as a device to get Simone to come out to another person, someone who would despise her for it. I just don't think it was set up well at all.

Now let's talk about Theresa's crazy scheme. Uggggghhh, Noah, you idiot! Why are you getting pulled in by Theresa's crazy scheme? I mean, I used to be in Theresa's court, but ever since this wannabe Terri Schiavo storyline I've changed heart. After what Theresa did, especially in ignoring his wishes, Ethan would be crazy to stay enamored of her. But you know that when Ethan wakes up, Theresa will come out the hero, despite the fact that she is the reason Ethan is in an "irreversible coma.

I was really happy about the interaction between Fancy and Kay today...I don't remember them ever having dialogue. I didn't like, however, that the people who were "right" about Ethan's situation were again depicted as the ones who don't want Ethan to be removed from life support, despite that he stated something else in his living will. Most of the "Ethan should stay alive" crew are the "average" citizens, while the evil nay-sayers have generally been the rich, privileged group (aside from Sam, that is).

Speaking of Kay...when will she realize that Valerie is out to get her? I mean hello, she's already realized Valerie is trying to move in on Fox. She needs to have a talk with Chad about Valerie. I mean, Valerie was the one who wanted to play dirty in trying to "beat" Fox at Crane Industries. And how dumb are both Kay and Valerie to believe Ivy's promises? They've both seen her in action (albeit Valerie has less experience than Kay does). I really hope Grace comes back soon.

Well, hopefully my next entry will be better than this one. I just wanted to get some momentum going here. Hopefully I will be able to include some more comprehensive thoughts. Until then, good night!

First Post

I'll figure out this thing eventually. I'm pretty much a neophyte in the HTML world. More later!
