Passions Bloodbath!--Heads are rolling at Passions in an effort to slash the budget and keep the show on NBC for at least another year. At press time, word came out that roughly 15 employees behind the scenes lost their jobs. As for the cast, words was that John Reilly, Kelli McCarty and Adrian Wilson were getting their walking papers--with more to come.

John Reilly?! They can't kill Alistair off, can they?

And I didn't think Kelli had a contract.

Yeah they can. I like John Reilly but his character has really gone to the dogs and I think he deserves better. There are more to come not just those 3. Probably Maya, Spike, & Lena. Defintiely Rachel. I wish they write out Chad but I won't hold my breathe.

it seems they wouldnt be getting rid of him now, after todays craptastic "reveal." but who knows. i dont put even the dumbest decisions past the ppl who run this show.

kelli, yeah shes gone. adrian, i wouldnt be surprised. spike, PLEASE get rid of him. charles i wouldnt mind, but only if brook stayed around. he can stay if brook leaves, then the show can go to hell without her.

I mean, theoretically, they can kill Al if you want, but the WHOLE point of his character is that he's the lerger-than-life supervillain who, no matter what, is ALWAYS there to terrorize the people of Harmony.

I won't get into how awesome the Crane family would be if they centered more of their activities around this fact.

I agree, Al is the main point of the show. If the evil doesn't revolve around Tabitha, it revolves around him and most of the time.

Hiring so many useless characters certainly didn't help it. Like Noah's past love, instead of bringing a new girl, they could have used someone already in Harmony. Plus they brought Valerie, minus well say, for no purpose. They bring all these new characters and don't know how to use them, or they have no point.

Sounds like a serial killer storyline coming up :(

THANK YOU!

i wouldnt have a problem with that.

I think I have the 15 that should go

Divins, Stewart, Mueller, both Adrain's, Richard, Mark, Emily, Dylan, Kyrie, Leigh, Sharon, Brandi, the guy that plays Spike & just one more.....hmmmm, can't think of anymore but I got 14 out of 15.

1.Chad
2. Spike
3. Siren
4. Rachel
5. Maya
6. Valerie
7. Lena
8. Chris
9. Fancy
10. Noah
11. Beth
12. Jessica
13. I love Amelia, but Liz isn't needed either

The MOST OVER-PAID extra in the HISTORY of daytime!!

Agreed.

I actually like Brandi, she needs to be free of HM, but her and Adrian work. LOVE NuMigs!!

She shouldn't have been ressurrected.

This bitch should have been the sacrifce not my damn Beth!!

I actually like her, and Daphee has potential if given a chance. BUT JER? Trying to make her a Whit replacement with the whole Ivy vs Val and Val/Fox interaction was a big ass no no. Like that would fly with us BROOK KERR/WHITNEY BUCK RUSSELL FANS!! Fatty please...

Who the hell is this? There's a Lena?

Perfectally great opportunity thrown away for dumbness. Him and Gwen would have rocked.

Nah, Emily Harper is a gem, the only bright light that makes me smile. Fancy really grew on me...PLUS I realized FANCY was the reason why I gave her and Noah the time a day, back when they were not annoying.

Yeah he can fall off a cliff.

Nope. Kelli's a GEM! Beth is the UTMOST BITCH HOLLA!

Eh, I suppose I don't care for her, but I really liked Jade Harlow.

She's not needed because Amelia's talent is being wasted! Liz can easily get frontburner action...

AND PEOPLE WERE SHOCKED Justin Hartley left?? HA!

OH and while were on topic please smack then fire Mark, wtf was up with his hair today? HOW he got the role as Fox Crane is beyond me.

You also forgot Katherine and Martin.

Fancy and Chad and Spike and Katherine and Rachel and NuFox and Jessica and Ethan and Kay and Beth and Liz.

I am sure characters like Maya, Spike, Lena, Liz, TC, Rachel (Defintiely her) will join Beth, Alistair, and Chris in being let go.

I have a feeling that the people that NEED to go won't go....and that's the shame of it all.

me too mika.

me three

Most things that have happened on this show within the past year is a big insult to the original roots, not to mention the original characters and actors.

The fact that killing Alistair is even being considered is a slap in the face of ALL that is Passions. Because essentially, he IS Passions. He is the only character in the canvas that justifiably has a hand in every story.
