Whatever the reason, it is understandable why Passions is not accepted by everyone, but if you give it a chance, at least enjoy it for the laugh factor. Here, we can witness the stupidity and naivety of Miguel and Ethan as they live their lives totally oblivious to the fact that they are being chased by crazed and obsessed girls who would do anything to win their loves. Of course you could never leave out the Charity-Miguel-Kay or the Gwen-Ethan-Theresa love triangles. As it turned out he was actually a doll, but either way, there was more to Passions than this strange aspect of fascination. Not only does it contain the ordinary conflicts, scheming, scandal and obsessions of certain characters, but it also includes elements of comedy and the supernatural.Īdmittedly, Timmy was the main reason why I got interested, as I couldn't figure out whether he was a dwarf/midget or a little boy. My initial reaction was one of confusion as the show is not your average soap opera.
Personally, I have never been into soaps before, but somehow Passions intrigued me the most. The storylines perhaps a little predictable and extremely slow (so slow in fact, that you could NOT watch Passions for about a month and still know what's going on). And I can't believe so many people feel the same way.it makes me feel sane! I suppose a majority of people started out watching this with enormous criticism.
I can't wait to catch up with the show tomorrow. After he first opened his mouth, I wanted to beat up Timmy, or as he would say, "Dubs wants to punch Timmy in the face," but even he has grown on me. The characters of Timmy and Tabitha are definitely a change. The subplots are all fairly interesting, and as others have noted, kind of different than one would expect for a soap. The only show we used to watch together on a regular basis was Sportscenter.
For example, my two housemates now watch Passions with me after they previously mocked me incessantly. I disagree with the previous commenter who feels that Passions is for "little ones." I don't think many high schoolers would catch this show on TV, since it plays at 1 PM here, but it could really succeed because it appeals to the niche market of college students, who are willing to watch almost any kind of television. The youth factor just seemed like a big break from the typical soap operas I had seen in passing before, and that alone was enough for me to be interested. It wasn't good by conventional standards the characters weren't deep or intriguing and the acting was relatively mediocre. Before I came back to college, I caught fifteen minutes of one episode and was hooked on what I saw. Besides, soaps seemed aimed at adult women and homemakers. Every time I was home from school and tried to watch one, I was always mystified by the seemingly intricate plots.
