The Death of My Daytime

Last week NBC decided to pull the plug on my favorite daytime tv to extend the Today show. It's hard to say goodbye to Passions. I've watched it since it's debut and to me it's the best soap out there. I unfortunately can't argue that with my mother. She insists that Y & R is better. Don't get me wrong, Y & R is good and I watch it on SoapNet. I can't catch Passions on the tube everyday but I do watch it on the NBC rewind at night. I've been rooting for a favorite couple. I have favorite characters. I'm in love with the town and the characters. Granted the writers need a little help somtimes. The story lines are a bit dragged out but they are good and they relate to an audience of people my age. The fanbase of the soap is amazing. Passions is an addiction of mine. There may be some good news for Passions fans like myself. Despite NBC pulling the plug another network may pick it up or it may go exclusively online. Those are good words to a die-hard Passions fan if something like that ends up happening in the end. The whole root of the problem is NBC does not listen to its viewers at all. They are endless petitions and other things that have been sent to the network to show the fanbase and why the ratings seem low. Most of these all carry my name attached to them. I'm going to fight for my daytime. It appears to be it's death but fans like me will not give up without a fight. We want to keep our show on the air no matter what it takes.

This is a fan made video embeded from youtube. It's based around my favorite couple from Passions Ethan and Theresa and done to the song "Lips of an Angel" by Hinder.
