As everyone knows, this has been the final week for Passions , barring some surprise resurrection in the future. Unlike some of the characters on the series, I have little faith in such things and have been watching the show quickly move to its fated conclusion. Now everyone has seen the conclusion and has gotten the ending they wanted or didn't want. Tonight, we can each say a little goodbye to all of our favorite characters. I know I'll say... » Read More

After nine years of Theresa's crocodile tears and outrageous schemes, Passions Lindsay Hartley is enjoying life as a mom.

"I'm just hanging out and taking care of Isabella (4)," Lindsay Hartley told soaps.com when we ran into her and hubby Justin Hartley at a CW party in July. "It's great. She's at such a great age. She's a girl! She wants to dress up and wears my heels all the time. We do a lot of arts and crafts and read together.... » Read More

Although hopes for a beautiful future with Ethan may be slipping away for Gwen, the same isn't true for the actress who plays her. Liza Huber is now expecting a second child with her husband, Alex Heresterbeg. The news was confirmed by the actress' mother Lusan Lucci (famous as Erica on All My Children ). This will be Liza's second child. Her little boy, Royce Alexander, was born on December the 23rd, 2006 (see story ). No word yet on the due... » Read More

Even with Passions ending, Galen Gering (Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald) certainly won't be short of a hectic schedule. The thirty-seven year old actor recently welcomed another child into the world. Around July the 17th, his wife, Jenna, gave birth to a son they have named Jensen. He reportedly weighed in at 10 pounds and 12 oz. This is the second son for the couple following the birth of Dillon Phoenix two years ago. Galen and Jenna eloped in Las... » Read More

Passions fans won't want to miss what may be their last opportunity to purchase a little memento from the show. Following the success of the previous auction , there will be one more.

Just a quick programming note. It has been announced that Passions will be concluding its run on DirecTV on Thursday, August the 7th, 2008 rather than on August the 11th as previously reported. If you're planning a Good-bye to Passions Party, it would be best to keep this in mind. You'll also be happy to know that DirecTV's The 101 Network will re-broadcast the final four episodes in a marathon on Friday, August the 8th.

If you've been wondering where you can catch some of your favorite old Passions performers, you'll be getting a grand opportunity in August. Three former stars of the series joined up to appear in the film Buds for Life . Donn Swaby, originator of the role of Chad Harris Crane, starred in the feature and also served as writer (you can read more about what the multi-talented performer has been up to here ). The film also features two former... » Read More

After nine years of playing the entitled and ever-meddling Ivy Winthrop Crane, Kim Johnston Ulrich has been through it all on Passions - blackmail, a lightning storm, a tsunami and even DirecTV. So after speaking with her on the phone, I wasn’t surprised to learn that walking away from Harmony wasn’t exactly easy for the actress.

“We had been preparing for awhile because we knew the end was coming, but the last day was... » Read More

The last time we saw Spike on Passions , he was threatening Jessica (of course) in regards to their son. It’s been months since that happened, so when I recently spoke with Spike’s portrayer, Christopher Maleki, after he returned from a relaxing eight-day trip to the Virgin Islands, I assumed he would fill me in on Spike’s ridiculously evil return before the show’s finale in August. However, much to my disappointment, he let me know... » Read More
