So today was the final episode of “Passions.” They waited till the very last episode to finally expose everything Gwen had done, and even arrested her to boot along with her mother. Ethan learned Little Ethan was his son, and Ethan and Theresa finally married, which closed out the show.
As cheesy as the final episode was (having Tabitha get baptized to save the town from a volcano), and as many issues I had with how they ended some things (Tabitha losing her powers and not getting them back after saving the town and the people, also the fact they left Grace dead as a doornail) I will admit I got teary-eyed over seeing the show I had followed since the beginning end. When Theresa turned to the camera after marrying Ethan and told the viewers if she had learned one thing over these 8 years, it was to always follow your “passion,” I was sniffling. The final scene showed the cast and crew celebrating as balloons dropped and we heard Josh Ryan Evans (Timmy) singing “Should Old Acquaintances Be Forgot.” More sniffles!
Alas, to make the day even more depressing . . . I finally took “Days” off my Tivo list of things to record. I figured why not make it a two for one day. I try not to turn the TV on during the day to distract me, and at night I want to wind down with my other shows or a movie. I have watched “Days” all but once or twice in two months (though I’m sure I can still turn it on and figure out just what is going on by the end of the hour). With teaching in the fall and hopefully in the spring, my schedule is about to get really busy and I know I probably won’t have time for it anymore. If and when “Days” ends though, I’ll be there to see it out too.

That is kind of sad!! I used to watch that show religiously when I was on summer vacations. it just got too hard to watch only three months of the year, so I just stopped.
Thanks Dustin–it’s nice to read about the last with your name attached. I wasn’t able to watch Passions after it went to Direct TV. If you hear of any of the last show being posted anywhere, will you please let your readers know. Once again Thanks.
I would have lost it if I heard Josh’s voice singing. I can still remember that episode clearly. I still smile every time I remember his “martimmy’s”. Thanks for posting this.
I wouldn’t be surprised if NBC made it free online eventually honestly.
Aww….I’ll be the first to admit I’m glad Theresa and Ethan are together after 8 years…I haven’t watched Passions in a couple of years but I loved it when I did
I too had a little tear in my eye at the end of Passions…It was one of a kind…I also am done with Days…I don’t know what they have done to that show, but its terrible…I just read the soap sites to see if anything is going on that would be of interest…
