No, No, No.
I just caught a scene from the soap opera "Passions". A chimpanzee (who is dressed up as a nurse because she's a Helper Monkey to an old lady) is in love with a man- Luis, and is daydreaming about having his baby... it showed her in the delivery room with Luis holding her hand and telling her to push...
I can't even begin to tell you what's wrong with this soap opera, but the words "insanely stupid" come to mind.
That is just too much. Do people actually watch Passions because of the story line or do they only watch it to make fun of it?

The writers of Passion you KNOW aren't taking this seriously, and if anything, are poking fun at what their viewers are willing to emotionally accept. Heck, that's just the kinda stuff I'd write if I was working for Passions, coming up with more and more insanely bizarre story lines and twists. What they really need is a Nazi Lesbian Tranvestite Eskimo. It's like, Jerry Springer meets daytime television!
Posted by: JosiahQ at July 23, 2003 04:36 PMThey must have a pretty big following, and I pray that they are watching to make fun of it, or at least inventing some drinking games to go along with it. Absurdity can be amusing, I'll agree. Maybe I was a tad harsh with Passions.
Luis and the monkey were tango-ing the other day. I think the writers must all be high.
Well, now that you mention the tango-ing, it makes much more sense. Any girl would fall in love with a man who would tango with them...even if that girl happens to be a monkey.
Posted by: Christin at July 23, 2003 04:58 PMI remember when "Passions" announced that ridiculous new character line about the ape or orangutan or whatever primate it was. I thought that was the most retarded thing I'd ever heard. I don't watch "Passions" and wouldn't. I used to watch "Days of Our Lives," but even the story lines there got so ridiculous. I found that, when I quit watching, I didn't miss it one bit. I wish I could convince myself of that concerning ALL television. I'm not there yet.
Posted by: Joey Wolfe at July 24, 2003 12:39 AMI did catch a few minutes of the show the other day. About 10 minutes a year fills me in on what is going on. But I must say, the monkey was quite a surprise. However, the thing that took the cake was the "baby" creature that came out of Tabitha's belly to strangle Julian, and the fact that none of the other characters thought it was that strange. Writers of Passions, keep up the good work.
