'Passions' on the Sci Fi Channel
Starting February 13, with a tentative air time of 9 AM, the Sci Fi Channel will air the soap Passions. When I first saw the commercial for it, I thought it was about time that the soap came to Saopnet, like Days of Our Lives. Then I realized, hey, it's on the Sci Fi channel: so of course I had to look up information on it.
Although now, I have to wonder why they did not get Port Charles for Sci Fi too.
For those of you who don't know, Passions started as a supernatural soap (unlike Port Charles, which started playing with the metaphysical element well after its conception). The bulk of the episodes till a couple of years ago feature Josh Ryan Evans, rest his soul. He played Timmy, who played a witch's familiar (a doll). He's the reason I started watching the soap in the first place. I had read an article in Newsday when he played General Tom Thumb on TBS' movie of P. T. Barnum. He played Timmy. The soap was also referenced in one episode that I saw of Buffy the Vampire Slayer too (although I don't recall Timmy ever falling down a well--Spike was watching the show when he was stuck in the bathtub lol). Ooh, his brother was named Timothy... And the character Timmy ended up becoming an angel. Strange...
Unfortunately, Josh died--strangely enough, when his character died on the show. The plan was for him to come back as an angel. Well, in a sense he still is, although he's not there, because Timmy's referenced a lot. A lot.
The early episodes aren't just a chance to see Timmy, and Tabitha Lenox. You get to see Doctor Bombay at least once, complete with attractive nurses hanging off his arms, when a spell goes awry and Tabby gets transformed into a mermaid. ;-) I'm not going to reveal the plotline; but I still watch the show.
Whee! Rotten.com has some sweet things to say about the show. By the way, at the impressionable age of 47 and a half at the time of writing this missive, I can say with some certainty that I'm not a teenager. Now, if I'd been born during leap year... lol. Actress Juliet Mills has played the role of Tabitha Lenox since July 6, 1999.
