Passions

Sunshine1 · 09-11-2007, 04:19 AM

I'm confusing. What's happened to "Passions" the soap opera show? It was shown on NBC channel but is it now goes to Direct TV from now and on? No more NBC or what's going on? In past month or so, I noticed at end of Passions shows, each actor/actress gave a little speech about Direct TV but it wasn't on closed captioned. hmmmm

Hmm...I have no 'passion' for soap opera shows.

However, I have no clue what happened...good luck finding out, hopefully a member or two might fill you in to what happened.

That is right Passions had moved to Directv! Look at the news I provided with the link so you can read for your pleasure.

You can watch Passions LIVE! on the 101 on DIRECTV, or catch the live stream right here on NBC.com - Passions.

Hello everyone, I am a new member. I want to clarify something about Passions on Directv. My advise: save your money and time! If you are a deaf fan of Passions and have depended on the Closed Captioning all these years as I have, IT IS NOT CLOSED CAPTIONED ON DIRECTV!!

I have watched Passions from the very first episode, you can consider me one of the biggest fans. I have never missed an episode. I love the show. So when this Directv advertising started I was very upset that NBC was dropping it and being taken over by DTV. We have had our local cable service for over 18 years and were very pleased with it and the idea of changing was not good. But, as I said, I am one of the biggest fans and wanted to continue to watch it. Before we made the move I had to ask them one very important question: "I am a Passions fan and I am considering changing to DTV so I can continue to watch it but as a deaf person I must ask this question first, will Passions still be Closed Captioned as it has been on NBC all these years." The response was, "YES, it will still be Closed Captioned as it always has been. That answer determined the move, if it was "no" of course we would not have changed. So we made the move, paid all that money to connect to DTV, the installers cut up all our existing cable wires to connect to the dish, and we discontinued our cable service. All for nothing!! No captioning. Emails to them only generates "beat around the bush" responses.

I feel like I have been "had", I was lied to. Now I am stuck with DTV and cannot watch Passions. I am very mad.

Passions is on The 101 channel, which is a DTV channel. And since the network, or whoever, is the one who sponsors the captioning, pays for it, let me tell you, DTV does not caption one single thing of their own. The hearing impaired community is totally shut out. All of us hearing impaired Passions fans are now shut out, we can no longer watch Passions. That tells me that DTV doesn't care on iota about the deaf community.

But don't get me wrong, everything that has captioning shows up on DTV. Its just that since Passions is produced now by DTV, they are not captioning it. All the other shows are captioned by the networks they are on, not by DTV.

So I just wanted to let anyone who is considering signing up for DTV to watch Passions that it is not Closed Captioned.

Freaky Cat · 09-20-2007, 12:21 PM

sorry to hear that u got duped by DTV. i still have dish network as i hvent changed and will not!

surprised me that the show is not CC? that sucks! im sure they will lose alot of deaf viewers and will lose money over this. too bad for them!

Passions Canceled, Again!

Yesterday he reported in the Rumor Mill that a rumor has been going around that "Passions" has been canceled by DirecTV. While there is still no official announcement from the show, NBC or DirecTV, several actors have posted on the net that the news is true.

Liza Huber (Gwen) posted the following message on her official webboard here (ezBoard

"Hi Everyone,

Yes, it is true that Passions will finish taping at the end of March 2008. We will start airing 3 days a week on DirecTV which should last through summer of 2008. It has been a wonderful ride (although Gwen has completely lost her mind!) and I want to thank all of you for your amazing support for Passions through the years!

much love - Liza"

So it appears that "Passions" will finish taping in March of 2008, with the episodes stretching out until the Summer of 2008.

--- --- ---

Damn, I will miss my favorite tv show!

I am a fan of Passions since the very first espoide of that tv show. Suck. Mm.. Oh well.

restless_heart · 12-10-2007, 11:13 PM

I used to watch Passions a long time ago when it first aired. I saw bit and pieces over the summer. And I haven't see it on my days off, no wonder they are taking off direct TV since I do have one. Do you remember when Passions first aired, there was a short little guy and he had passed away in real life. He was good actor. It is sad that he was not on it anymore.

I love watching Days since I was a little girl, but haven't seen it in a long, long while since I had to work all the time. Now my daughter is addict to Days and kept me up to date from time to time. Last time she told me John Black is dead. I couldn't believe it.
