I happen to love the show. I watch every week. My son was born on the day the Fourth season began which worked out great because I was suppose to work that night instead I watched it in the hospital with room service and my new baby it was awesome. I am due with my second baby on May 31st about the time of the finally so maybe I'll get to watch it with my second baby.

I think this is what the show has been missing. Luke and Laura are the reason the show made it through the 80"s and 90"s. They are the ultimate supercouple of daytime. To be able to watch this play out all over again is excellent.

I do i watched it a few times and i thought it was totally stupid and too far out of touch with reality. ya know you watch soaps to go into a fantasy world but yet you still want a touch of the real world to make it believable and passions is just not believable to me anyway!!

A long, long time ago, daytime dramas were viewed almost exclusively by women, as they comprised a smaller percentage of the workforce. When they weren't watching the telly, they were doing what June Cleaver had taught all good housewives to do: cooking and cleaning. And when they were cleaning, they used soaps of all kinds: dish soap, laundry soap, all-purpose cleansers, etc. The Madison Avenue guys all knew this (after all, their wives were at home doing all this cleaning while they were at work coming up with ad campaigns for soap companies), so they figured that commercials for soap would garner the most customers if they were shown during the daytime dramas. Hence, the soap companies became the primary sponsors for daytime TV, and the term "soap opera" was born.

Yes, I love passions. I've been watching it since it started coming on in 1999. My favorite character would have to Theresa, and if i could be any character it would have to be her minus the whole desperate attempts to get ethan.

I like it, too. I think it's building in popularity, and it has the backing of the network so far. It's an hour show with both comedy and some drama involved which require paying fairly close attention. I think the writers are working to get it together, also.

I do, on Saturday mornings when nothing else is on.  I like the new one with the mystical theme.

Do you really think people from Mexico all watch the same thing? They watch all kinds of different shows just like anywhere else -- soaps/telenovela, the news, sports, etc.

Back in the day, I believe early 1920's they used to have radio broadcasted programs (soap operas) during the daytime hours.  Since most of the audience included women they advertised soap and other cleaning products to target that particular audience. Over time those operas came to be known soap operas!

Most guys deny they enjoy soap operas because they refuse to acknowledge professional wrestling for the soap opera that it is! LOL
