Juliet Mills by John Paschal/jpistudios.com/NBCPassions fanatics are wondering which castmembers will stay on when the serial moves from NBC to DIRECTV in September. The verdict is in!
NBC announced today that several of Passions' principal players have signed new contracts. Here's the list (in alphabetical order):
Eric Martsolf (Ethan)
Ben Masters (Julian)
Kim Johnston Ulrich (Ivy)
Dylan Fergus (Noah)
Galen Gering (Luis)
Emily Harper (Fancy)
Lindsay Hartley (Theresa)
Liza Huber (Gwen)
James Hyde (Sam)
Juliet Mills (Tabitha)
Heidi Mueller (Kay)
Tracey Ross (Eve)
Eva Tamargo (Pilar)
McKenzie Westmore (Sheridan)
FYI, Erin Cardillo — who plays Fancy's friend Esme — has also signed a contract. She wasn't really a principal castmember before, but she apparently is now.
Please note: If you don't see an actor's name on this list, you should not necessarily assume that he or she is leaving the show. Some Passions actors work on recurring status — i.e. not on contract — like Andrea Evans (Rebecca).
I can say that the absence of James Stevenson (Jared) from the list means he will not move to DIRECTV. The Daytime Emmy nominee made it clear that he plans to hit the road in a recent interview.
