This is true, though there's no official announcement made by NBC. Reportedly they have until June of this year to end their eight-year run, to add a 4th hour to the Today Show in September. It already has three hours and some places, four or more. Why need another, when they had stellar ratings? I can understand if it ratings alone, but not for that? They're outcry. If you're a Passions fan, you can sign a petition to save it a tvseriesfinale.com and other petition websites. This is also reported at soapoperadigest.com, soapcentral.com and soapdigestweekly.com. A lot of upset fans like myself report their anger at the message boards. I've signed the petition. If it can't be saved, (or possibly extended to full the void to September), it might be a half-hour show at the Internet or sent to another channel like SoapNet. Let's save it if possible. Are you with me? The cast has been informed on 1/16. Let's save it by mid-spring if it's not too late.

I really don't think you can save a show that's going off the air because they go by ratings and by how many people watch it.
BUT you have to admit it does go overboard a lot so that's probably why it's getting kicked to the curb.

I too have signed the petitions and am upset about the cancellation of Passions. I have been a fan since the show first aired 7.5.99 and feel it is utterly ridiculous that the Today Show needs a fourth hour, to do nothing... During the hour that Passions airs my fiance knows to leave me alone because that is "my time" to forget about the real world and be apart of the crazy @$$ world of Harmony. Yes, it is a crazy show but that's why I like it so much it doesn't follow the traditional soap opera guidelines, and it is like no other show on tv.

I love Passions as well! I watch it during my lunch hour. I've been watching about 4 years and have signed several petitions. You can also go to savemyshow.com, they have a poll on keeping it or canceling it. I'll miss my Passions!! :-( Even if it does move along a little slow, but they do some crazy stuff on there!! Just get a new writer!

I have signed the petitions as well. The only hope now is that a new/different network picks it up. I was hoping Sci-Fi might, it was stated they were considering. They began showing re-runs last year. Other than that I really don't know what else to do! I hope Theresa and Ethan and Luis and Sheridan are together before it ends!

That would explain why they are speeding up the Ethan and Theresa storyline.
Now if only they would just let Luis and Fancy get married.
