Passions, created by former Days of Our Lives head writer James E. Reilly and airing on NBC from 1999–2008, is quite possibly the weirdest-ever daytime Soap Opera outside of Dark Shadows.The show ostensibly follows the lives of numerous families in the small New England town of Harmony, including the eeeeevil Crane family, who orchestrated most of the non-magical plotlines; the Lopez-Fitzgeralds, many of whom fell in love with Crane family members; the Bennetts, who were connected to the Cranes through Alistair's grandson Ethan; the Russells, who have got to be one of the oddest Brother–Sister Incest stories on record; the Winthrops, who get involved in an impressive romantic three-way plot; the Hotchkiss family (involved with the Winthrops); and at least one member of the Standish family (related to the Bennetts).The show opened as a fairly innocuous daytime soap, albeit with elements of the paranormal. That soon ended with the introduction of Tabitha the witch and her ambulatory doll Timmy. An episode of Passions makes the average telenovela look like The Wire. The "villains" belonged in a Silver Age comic book. The ruling dynasty was comprised of inbred idiots. A transgender Two-Face stalked Harmony for victims to rape/blackmail (the joke being that rapists and blackmailers are the two most common villains in soaps). Zombies, the Devil, and dwarves ran amok. Characters popped over to Magical Land of Oz for an afternoon... And, in one memorable arc, a faked death involved some serious stealth work.Passions is, to date, the last new soap opera to premiere on American daytime television. It replaced the long-running Another World; when it premiered in 1999, there were eleven soaps on the air. Now there are four (three on broadcast TV, one on streaming), and, as a result of Days moving from the network to co-owned Peacock in 2022, none at all on NBC, the network which once aired Passions. | |

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other | |
| Passions / int_10dcbe05 | comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Luis and Sheridan. They constantly fight, argue and bicker so much yet they clearly adore each other at the same time and just can't stop thinking about each other or stay away from each other. Also Sam and Ivy. Despite Sam's proclamations that he absolutely cannot stand Ivy and wants nothing to do with her, it is clear (especially later on) that he does and always loved Ivy, even though he was married to Grace for a long time. Julian and Eve. They appeared to have hated each other, but there is no denying that Julian in fact did love Eve and always had a strong affection for her. In fact, it could be argued that Eve is the only woman whom Julian ever truly loved. Julian and Ivy get this. After a decades-long loveless marriage that they were forced into by their parents, they actually reconcile for a while when they get fed up with Sam and Eve, realizing that they accept each other despite, or perhaps because of their numerous faults. | |

Ripped from the Headlines | |
| Passions / int_1616e13 | comment |
Ripped from the Headlines: Many aspects of Passions story arcs are influenced by actual events... taken up to eleven. In one case, the Tsunami that hit Southeast Asia influenced a fictional Tsunami that hit Harmony... which is in New England. The first episode mentioned that Sheridan was BFFs with Lady Di. The episode aired in summer 1999. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Passions / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: Hidden Passions, which was a tie-in novelization that looked into the backstories of the main characters, supposedly written by Tabitha, making it an offline variation of the Character Blog. It should be pointed out that this is averted because much of what was in Hidden Passions was contradicted in the series; two good examples are Eve Russell's and Katherine Crane's back story. What was aired on the screen was completely different than what was in Hidden Passions. | |

Ax-Crazy: Norma is this. Not an ax, but after Gwen is told by Ethan that he wants to cancel the wedding (and he says this the night before the ceremony), she realizes his and Theresa's secret relationship and goes after Theresa in her home with a baseball bat. In a cross between this and Car Fu, Ivy drove a car through the front door of the church during the Luis/Sheridan/Ethan/Theresa double wedding. Beth used an ax to destroy a closet door in order to force her mother out of hiding. | |

Shipper on Deck | |
| Passions / int_31da1e24 | comment |
Shipper on Deck: Chad is the BIGGEST Ethan/Theresa shipper ever. Theresa is a Luis/Sheridan shipper and Chad/Whitney shipper. But she is the BIGGEST shipper of herself/Ethan, constantly telling herself that her and Ethan are "fate" and "meant to be". Whitney seemed to be more anti-Ethan/Theresa in the beginning and advocated more for Ethan/Gwen being together but this was mostly because she feared Theresa getting hurt and getting her heart broken by Ethan. Sheridan was a Ethan/Theresa shipper. Tabitha advocated for Miguel/Kay mostly because she hates both Miguel and Charity and thinks that if Miguel/Charity get together, Tabitha would be destroyed. Ethan is a Chad/Whitney shipper. Ethan is also the biggest supporter of himself/Theresa, going so far as to get jealous of every single man who shows interest in Theresa or even looks at Theresa and even managing to steal Theresa's own catchphrase - "it's fate". Eve is also a Luis/Sheridan shipper and Sam/Grace shipper. Hank is a Luis/Beth shipper. Antonio also seemed to be a Luis/Beth shipper. Charity seemed supportive of Ethan/Theresa. Miguel supported and advocated for Reese/Kay in the earlier seasons and before Miguel reciprocated Kay's feelings. Pilar is pro-Luis/Sheridan. also tended to be Anti Ethan/Theresa at the beginning, until towards the end of the series, after Gwen and Rebecca's blackmail threatens the entire Lopez-Fitzgerald family, she fully supports Theresa taking Ethan back from Gwen. Luis is a Sam/Grace and Miguel/Charity shipper. Although Simone is best friends with Kay, Simone seemed to prefer Miguel/Charity. Julian first seemed to advocate for Ethan/Theresa, but later on, he supported Ethan/Gwen marrying instead (with Ethan having Theresa on the side of course). Beth's mother, Edna, is a Luis/Sheridan shipper. Rebecca is strongly anti-Ethan/Theresa and is the biggest supporter of Ethan/Gwen. Understandable considering Gwen is her daughter. Both Sam and Grace are Miguel/Charity shippers. Ivy seemed to support Ethan/Theresa since the beginning and believed that they were true love. At the end of the show, she fully throws her support behind Ethan/Theresa. she also supported Luis/Sheridan. | |

Death Is Cheap | |
| Passions / int_37fcf16 | comment |
Death Is Cheap: Owing to the show's supernatural plotlines, it was quite plausible for the show to have characters return from the dead. Or, in the case of Sheridan Crane, surviving just about any attempt on her life. Also, Julian was revealed to have once faked his own death. This is really only the half of it. To count: Alistair and Marty supposedly died in a train crash in Rome with Beth (who may or may not have actually died); Katherine and Rachel both turned out to be alive after having had their deaths faked by Alistair pre-series; Julian supposedly died when he was shot and fell into a vat of boiling tuna; Sheridan came back from the dead at least twice (buried alive and blown up in Bermuda); Vincent turned out not to be dead after falling off a cliff; Antonio sadly did not die in a plane explosion; Luis didn't really die in Morocco while searching for Marty; and Theresa fake-died twice (once by lethal injection and once by shark). | |

No Fourth Wall: At the very least, it's as flimsy as hell. At one point, characters are watching Passions on their TV, and frequent cracks are made at the plot and some of the more absurd plot elements. | |

Long-Lost Relative | |
| Passions / int_455f6a91 | comment |
Long-Lost Relative: Too many to name. It seems to be a recurring theme on the show. Antonio Lopez-Fitzgerald, who had been living under the alias Brian O'Leary, is revealed to be the long lost oldest son of Pilar and older brother of Luis, Theresa, and Miguel. Liz Sanbourne is revealed to be the long lost adoptive sister of Eve Russell. Ethan Crane is revealed to be the long lost son of Sam Bennett and Ivy Winthrop-Crane, meaning that Ethan is actually a Bennett and not a Crane, even though Ethan has always identified with being a Crane his whole entire life. Chad Harris is revealed to be the long lost son go Alistair Crane and Liz Sanbourne (Chad was conceived out of rape when Alistair raped Liz when she was 14 years old; Liz gave Chad up for adoption). Beth Wallace is revealed to be the illegitimate child of Alistair Crane and Edna Wallace. Charity Standish is revealed to be the niece of Grace Bennett and the daughter of Grace's twin sister, Faith, therefore, Charity is the long lost first cousin of Kay, Jessica and Noah Bennett. Vincent Clarkson (also known to be the infamous cross-dressing blackmailer) is revealed to be the long lost son of Julian Crane and Eve Russell. | |

Disproportionate Retribution | |
| Passions / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Alistair Crane (the show's Big Bad) created a borderline Rube Goldberg Gambit Roulette involving elaborate and (at times) interconnected forms of cruel revenge upon nearly every resident of Harmony, which the writers milked the mystery as to why he was doing this for all it was worth. Finally the real reason was revealed which was... his wife died there, so he felt that literally the entire town (including his relatives who only happened to live there and people who only recently moved there who he never met before) should suffer as much as he. ...What. | |

Cannot Spit It Out | |
| Passions / int_653c5c73 | comment |
Cannot Spit It Out: Basically all the men on the show when they're involved with love triangles. Ethan can't ever decide who he loves more: Gwen or Theresa. Chad couldn't bring himself to curb Simone's delusions of them being a couple and tell her he was dating Whitney. Miguel kept sending mixed signals to Kay when he was in love with Charity. Luis though is probably the biggest man guilty of this. It took him a long time to admit he loved Sheridan, and then took another long time to choose between Sheridan and Beth (and later Sheridan and Fancy). Even while knowing how psychotic Beth was, he could never stand up to her, or even stop her from running off with Marty. | |

Gratuitous Rape | |
| Passions / int_6bb25af4 | comment |
Gratuitous Rape: Within one calendar year, so many characters were raped that it was referred to as the "Year of the Rapes", diluting the seriousness of such a crime. Adding insult to injury, only ONE of these stories was handled even remotely seriously, with the victim in question (who was reacting to having been raped a second time) fearing intimacy and dressing shabbily, etc. All other victims went on with their lives within days as though nothing even remotely traumatic had happened, while their attackers went free, or in at least one case, attacked his victim multiple times during the course of an abusive marriage. | |

Meaningful Name | |
| Passions / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Various characters have names that happen to match their personalities. Ethan means "firm" or "strong". Theresa means "to reap" or "the reaper". Ivy is is representative of the ivy tree and also Batman villainess, Poison Ivy. T.C. even referred to Ivy as this one time. Grace and Faith is representative of their religious and angelic kind natures. Grace means "graceful" and Faith means "faithful". Charity means "kindness" and "goodness". It is probably the most fitting for Charity as she is known to be the Big Good of the show. Sheridan means "wild". | |

Feeling the Baby Kick | |
| Passions / int_713856 | comment |
Feeling the Baby Kick: When Luis tried to be supportive of his ex-girlfriend Beth's pregnancy, he wants to feel his baby move at one point but he never does. Understandably, this was impossible since Beth was pretending to be pregnant by using a bag of sugar in an effort to keep him away from Sheridan, who was genuinely pregnant by him but unsure if he or his brother Antonio was the father. | |

Grey-and-Gray Morality | |
| Passions / int_7335ffa9 | comment |
Grey-and-Gray Morality: Theresa and Gwen. Until Theresa's sudden sainthood and Gwen's sudden full villainess treatment after the jump to Dish, they both were equally good and evil and their good traits were easily defined. Theresa loved her family and was supportive of them, and Gwen supported her own circle of friends and nurtured the family she wanted to build with Ethan. In fact, before they went to war over Ethan, they were pretty good friends. But when both women decided to have Ethan at all costs, their obsessive behavior came out in full-swing. And ironically, both dealt each other physical and emotional blows over time, but the reactions from other characters was different. People forget that before Gwen stabbed Theresa in a drug-induced state in the hospital, Theresa first stabbed Gwen when her pregnancy hormones got out of control. People excused Theresa's actions because of her risky pregnancy, but Gwen was denounced as evil even though she'd just been put through an emotional ringer and conflicted medication in her body triggered her episode. When Gwen allowed Rebecca to call CPS on Theresa, Gwen and Rebecca were unfeeling villains, yet when Theresa posed as their surrogate and later raped a drugged Ethan— and it was found that baby Jane wasn't Gwen's—everyone excused her actions as being a desperate mother who was wronged and needed justice. | |

All Love Is Unrequited: Kay in regards to Miguel in the beginning. While Miguel was in love and crazy about Charity, Kay pined for Miguel endlessly. Eventually, Miguel does end up choosing and marrying Kay in the end. In the beginning, Theresa in regards to Ethan. Although Theresa has loved Ethan since she was a young girl and dreamed of marrying him one day, Ethan was in love with Gwen and had his heart set on marrying her and only saw Theresa as a friend as the housekeeper Pilar's daughter. | |

The Faceless | |
| Passions / int_7abba202 | comment |
The Faceless: Alistair Crane with his first actor (voice of Alan Oppenheimer). It got taken to ridiculous extremes when he'd be in a room with other characters, and the camera would constantly show a view of his chest. Later actors in the role did in fact show their faces for the camera. The Blackmailer also remained faceless for a good portion of the storyline. Then it was revealed who it was (note: We're not using "it" as gender neutral). | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Passions / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: More than a few ends were left loose when the series ended: What ultimately happened to Charity, David, Liz, Spike, Martin, and Katherine was never addressed. Julian's grudge against Antonio was never explained, nor was Antonio's plan to use an impostor to impersonate Martin. Beth was implied to have survived the train explosion, but was never heard from again. A dark secret in David's past, which Ivy used against him as blackmail material, was never revealed. Perhaps most egregiously, Kay's rape of Miguel was never revealed to the rest of the cast and her character never faced any consequences. | |

Back from the Dead: Martin Fitzgerald, Katherine Crane, Rachel Barrett.

Also true of Alistair Crane, Julian Crane, Sheridan Crane (twice), Vincent Clarkson, Antonio Lopez-Fitzgerald, Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald, Marty Lopez-Fitzgerald, and Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald (twice). | |

Our Zombies Are Different: Zombie Charity.

However, it didn't stop those in the know from referring to her as "Zombie". | |

Character Exaggeration | |
| Passions / int_9002083e | comment |
Character Exaggeration: In the DirecTV episodes, Theresa was turned into the full-scale heroine while Gwen got the full villianess treatment. However, in the previous NBC episodes, their roles were neutral. This actually happened to Gwen twice; the first time occurred after Ethan called off their engagement and Gwen went after Theresa with the baseball bat. Before, Gwen had been a relatively good and kind character, but after losing Ethan she became determined to get him back, ultimately despite whatever consequences her actions had on other people. The move to DirecTV later turned her villainy up to eleven and removed virtually every redeeming quality that she possessed. Despite her situation with Ethan, Gwen still had her good qualities and said valid points in the NBC episodes before the DirecTV transition. Also after the transition, all of Theresa's bad deeds were practically pushed aside, giving her the heroine status. | |

Gambit Roulette: Alistair Crane appeared to be quite the master of this. At one point, he staged Theresa's execution by using sedatives and an open coffin. Theresa woke up briefly, threatened Ivy and Rebecca, then returned to sleep just long enough for Pilar to notice that her body had moved. She then snuck out of the coffin, but was taken back by an unseen person, and then the coffin caught on fire. The body burned, but Alistair then revealed that the "body" in the coffin was actually a lifelike wax dummy, and the real Theresa was alive and well. | |

Filler: It's amazing that so little can happen in the space of one hour of TV. Conversations that should take at least ten minutes in real life were often stretched out for days on end, just so the screenwriters would have time to wring out plotlines. They really needed a lesson from non-US soapies. | |

Grandparent Favoritism | |
| Passions / int_a551708b | comment |
Grandparent Favoritism: Played with regarding Alastair. He treats everyone he knows like crap including and especially his own family members, but he has taken a shine to eldest grandson, Ethan, a smart and charming lawyer, and feels he is a much more suitable heir to the Crane fortune and business over the alcoholic playboy Julian. That is, until it's revealed that Ethan wasn't his grandson due to a one-time fling that Ivy had with her ex-boyfriend Sam right before her wedding to Julian. | |

Hide Your Pregnancy | |
| Passions / int_a78aead3 | comment |
Hide Your Pregnancy: Liza Huber (Gwen) and Daphnée Duplaix Samuel (Valerie). Samuel was largely kept off screen during her pregnancy, though, while Huber graduated from holding bags and files in front of her stomach and wearing all black to sitting on a bed with a humidifier in front of her obviously pregnant belly and being filmed (often unsuccessfully) from the chest up only. Ironically, it was later explained within the series that during Gwen's time off screen while Huber was on maternity leave Gwen had actually found out that she was pregnant and given birth to her son Jonathan. Eventually subverted with Lindsay Hartley (Theresa) and McKenzie Westmore's (Sheridan) respective pregnancies. While some attempt was initially made to hide both actresses' pregnancies, the characters were both eventually made to be pregnant. | |

Face–Heel Turn | |
| Passions / int_af3ea0e3 | comment |
Face–Heel Turn: Sheridan in the last two seasons. When the show first started she was arguably The Woobie and the Big Good of the Crane family, but during the last two years of the show she became very manipulative. See also: Julian (after a Heel–Face Turn following Timmy's death), Beth (she started out as Luis's long-suffering high school sweetheart and quite literally went crazy when he dumped her for a second time), and Fox (he went from something of an Anti-Hero to a straight-up manipulative bastard). | |

First Girl Wins: Theresa and Ethan discover a photo of themselves as children showing a young Ethan giving a young Theresa a teddy bear. A few years later, he and Gwen, both twelve years old, first meet at a mixer their boarding schools held. For the longest time, Miguel and Kay appeared to be set to be an inversion of this since they'd been best friends since childhood and Miguel seemed far more interested in Charity, but eventually the two ended up together—a later conversation revealed that Miguel had had a crush on Kay as well (meaning that her feelings were NOT unrequited, as she'd thought). | |

Child by Rape | |
| Passions / int_bb7ae292 | comment |
Child by Rape: Chad. Originally, he knew his parents were from Harmony and eventually came to believe he was the son of Julian and Eve after he fathered a child with Whitney. Later, he turned out to have not committed incest with Whitney and that he was actually the son of Eve's deranged adopted sister Liz, who was raped by Alistair. Then we find out he really did have gay incest with Vincent, who turns out to be the actual son of Julian and Eve (thus Chad's half-nephew/cousin and Whitney's half brother). Vincent is also a cross-dressing intersex serial killer (no seriously this is all true) who has violently raped or tricked various of his relatives into sex, including Chad, his sister Fancy and the topper is he becomes pregnant with his father Julian's baby. Yeah. | |

Double Standard Rape: Female on Male | |
| Passions / int_c289826f | comment |
Double Standard Rape: Female on Male: Theresa raped Ethan three times, once by disguising herself as Gwen and drugging his drink, once in the Crane jet, and once towards the end of the DirecTV run: Theresa was living as the Winthrop children's frumpy nanny, Gertrude, because her whole family would somehow die if she were revealed to be alive, and wanted to be with Ethan, so she drugged Gwen to keep the other woman out of the way and then drugged and had sex with Ethan so that he would think that he had been dreaming. While Theresa's actions were reprimanded all three times and she was once labeled a rapist, the show largely presented her actions as justified acts of desperation and upheld the trope—in fact, the incident where she disguised herself as Gwen was retconned into Ethan knowing that it was Teresa all along. Kay raped Miguel, which conceived Maria. However, this is never known to anyone other than Kay and Tabitha, and Miguel is treated like a monster by the rest of the cast (and later on by the show itself) when he doesn't stand by Kay's side. This being after Kay repeatedly rubbed her pregnancy in Charity's face (with nobody calling her on her behavior other than Grace) and Kay knowing that she only got Miguel into bed through deception. | |

Feuding Families: The Cranes and the Lopez-Fitzgeralds. And when the Lopez-Fitzgerald family shrunk significantly circa 2005-06, the Cranes took up a soon-forgotten feud with the Bennetts. | |

Who's Your Daddy? | |
| Passions / int_daee232f | comment |
Who's Your Mommy?: After Theresa secretly had Gwen and Ethan's embryos implanted in her womb to get her son back from them, she later saw blood spottings and thought she had a miscarriage. In order to get her bargaining chip back, she disguises herself as Gwen, drugs Ethan's drink, and rapes him to get pregnant again. However, she discovers that she did not have a miscarriage after all and is pregnant with two babies (twins). Unfortunately, her uterus is unable to carry both and is told that one of them must be aborted. At first, she wants to abort Gwen's baby, but in the end, she decides to abort the weakest baby. Later, a baby girl was born. Theresa then tells Gwen the news that Gwen may not be the mother of the baby and Theresa does not plan to give the baby to her whether she is the biological mother or not. A DNA test is performed, and after some time, it is revealed that Theresa is the biological mother, devastating Gwen. Beth pulls this with Sheridan and Luis's child Marty, though Sheridan knows Marty is her child. Not only does Beth kidnap Sheridan for the duration of her pregnancy, but she pretends to be pregnant to the entire town. So when Marty is born, Beth steals the baby and successfully passes him off as her own, and tries to kill Sheridan. Sheridan survives, but by the time she returns to town, nobody believes that Marty is her son. She's even institutionalized over the debacle. | |

Character Outlives Actor: Josh Ryan Evans, who played Timmy, died on the same day that his character died on the show. This still counts, though, as it's Passions and trips to the afterlife are plausible (in fact, Timmy was set to return as an angel). Timmy reappeared as a Fake Shemp at the show's end. | |
