NBC squashes 'Passions' chances
Soap unable to find a new home
By JOSEF ADALIAN
NBC has killed whatever small chance there was of a "Passions"
resurrection.
A few months ago, DirecTV, which has broadcast the sudser since it was
cancelled by NBC last year, opted against another season of the show.
Nonetheless, producer Universal Media Studios had been trying to find
yet another new home for the soap.
But at a wrap party last week, "Passions" cast and crew members were
told that talks to keep the show alive via the Internet or another
outlet had failed. Peacock insiders confirmed the report, though the
studio declined comment.
Further proof of the end of "Passions" came Monday morning when UMS
and Premiere Props announced a two-day blowout sale of props and
costumes from the show this weekend.

who
can think, are so frightened by those who cannot: the dead. Well, our ship
should be regenerated, we'd better get started."
