I was thinking the same thing today. Fox, Whitney, and Theresa should devise a plan to get Judge Reilly disbarred, or whatever it is you do to a judge.

I think the word is "Impeach".

Whitney is stung and hurt when she sees her mother kissing Julian, and plans to tell her father about her mom's betrayal! Will Eve be blown out of the water by her own daughter?

No doubt Whitney will spend years and years and years threatening to tell TC about what she saw... AT THE LOBSTER SHACK!

Do you think she and Liz will do some tag-team scheming?

The Last Dodo:
Four-plus years into the run and NOW somebody notices this phenomenon?!?

On very rare occasions, I actually discover that I'm talking to myself out loud, and I stand there, aghast at the fact that I've become a soap opera character. But, it really does happen. Just, not constantly, as portrayed on Passions and Days of our Lives.
pretzels
I love how real everyone is. Rebecca expects people to come to her wedding and they all think she's nuts.
TV-Ho
This week marked a turning point for me. I now hate Grace (and her hair) and love Ivy. Grace seems more dense than ever, if possible. I loved how Sam replied "you said it" when she incredulously asked if Kay really hated her so much that she wouldn't call her mother about baby Maria's latest brush with death.

But I love our new wobbly-legged Ivy! She's so much prettier when she isn't spitting venom at everyone. Would love for Sam to fall back in love with her, find out the secret, but still pick Ivy over Grace. Then again, can I really wait until 2012 to see this happen?
Qwho
Just how many times this year has Luis & Antonio "tried to kill each other"? As much as Sheridan's deaths? It would have been better if Antonio was bare-chested and bare-foot as well, while they rolled around together. It would've been as fun as when Ethan, Chad, & Fox were all laying around in their underwear drinking beer in their LA apartment.

I just wish they would move Nurse Kravitz in next door to Tabitha and make her recurring.
Leanan
Oh, and here's Grace: "So all this is happening just because I chose to be with David?" Well, uh...YEAH. I mean, you don't get the right to stomp around the house with permabitchface when YOU VOLUNTARILY DUMPED SAM.


Big fat word. And why was she acting all surprised that Kay wouldn't call her and tell her that Maria was sick? Maybe Sam and Kay should borrow the puppets used to explain things to Braindead. Speaking of him, I've said it a million times, but SHUT. UP. Sheridan was way too nice to him. I think I would've started beating him in the face if he told me that I wasn't really sure of what I wanted.

I'm also loving that Ivy's finally walking again, but I'll forever wonder how she was getting up and down the stairs from her second floor room all by herself.

I'd so go to Rebecca's wedding. It'd be entertaining, and I bet the food at the reception would be good. I hope she's not expecting wedding gifts. I'd bring place mats.

Holy shit, I'm a Fanatic! Oh look, my life is waving good bye to me.
CultureVulture
Chickengrrl said: Now, now, David, I'm sure there's plenty of you to go around.

I think the pictures from Freddie's last month in the DCTWoP organization thread can attest that there is. I kid cause I love!

On topic? I've been off the show for awhile, just following on the board, but are they actually going to have some movement on the eve/julian front? Because if we get Whitney finding out and her macking some more on Fox, I may have to reconsider the Passions ban in our household. But I suspect Whitney might just be Roundhead lite for the next 3 months with no progress plot wise. "I will get my REVENGE on her for doing this to daddy!"
Screamie
The double wedding was really a year ago this week? Wah, 2003 went by way too fast!

My 2004 Passions prediction is that Harmony will have 11 days during our year.

I predict New Year's Eve will last until the final week of January.
ChickenGrrl
Leanan, dahling, congrats on the upgrade in your status. I bow to your Stalkerism.

It is so weird to see Ivy walking again! How long has she been in that wheelchair/scooter now, 11 years? Or, oops, maybe the 11 days Screamie referenced. (I honestly can't remember how long ago it was that she got struck by lightning and fell off that telephone pole, or whatever. Maybe more like 22 days?) I've become so accustomed to her being "shorter" than everyone that it's almost odd to see her upright. But, go Ivy! Get you some Sam action! Don't know why you'd want to, since he's dumb as a bag of hammers, but I guess he could pass for hunky. I'd do him. As someone said of Miranda and Blair Underwood on the SaTC boards, Grrrrl, Get. You. Some!

And I'm with Leanan on totally wanting to go to Rebecca's wedding, even though I loathe the fact that she blackmailed my Jules into marrying her. You'd know it'd have to be completely over-the-top, and that something interesting/amusing would happen. And that dress defies description! Oh, and the food would definitely be delicious, if also downright bizarre. Although I haven't the bucks for a decent gift. I'd have to crochet them a toaster cozy or something. (Ear muffs for Julian, perhaps?) I could regift her the tiny tiara I got for Christmas, except that I love it. Maybe something in decoupage or macrame?

I loooovvvvvve the idea of Whitless tag-team scheming with Roundhead, what with their matching luggage and all: Suitcase and Carry-On of REVENGE!
Bec
I don't know about that. Aren't the soaps usually pretty on time about ringing in the new year? And then it's new year day that lasts for ever and ever (usually ending when Valentine's Day comes along, y'all know how soaps love their holidays, especially Passions)?

I recall that the first Passions new year when Luis saved Sheridan from falling through the skylight at the Seascape restarant while letting Faux!Martin fall to his death was right before new year's eve. Then the new year's eve ep was just Tabby doing a recap of everything that happened thus far plus a clip show (which seemed like a lot of stuff at the time since they haven't had the chance to drag every storyline out for years yet).

But then, I hadn't been watching for the last couple of weeks. Does it look like they're going to get into the new year anytime soon?

BTW, Happy New Year everybody!

I've written to the actor, James Hyde, in the past, and I got back order forms for posters of him. These posters were the. Gayest. Thing. Ever. He was all lying naked in bed with the covers half-off, and the titles were stupid things like, "In Bed - Sexy!" Ew. Just, ew.

Unless I'm mistaken, Faux!Martin fell through the skylight at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve. The clip show was a break in the action, and then when we got back to the plot, it was after midnight--so technically New Year's Day--for quite a few episodes while Sheridan and Luis agonized through their feelings of remorse and guilt at the youth center we haven't seen for about two years now, and then eventually it was morning.

Well that's how long 2003 has lasted so far. 11 days, and 4 of them have gone by since November, which shocks me. But I don't think it's even New Year's Eve in Harmony yet, is it? Or have I not been paying close attention? Incidentally, New Year's Eve last year on the show lasted all the way till the first week of February. We know the double wedding was held that night, but I don't think there was ever a mention of the clock striking midnight was there? I kept waiting to see the requisite colored light flashes outside a window to indicate fireworks going off.

Ivy was struck by lightning when Tabitha, Timmy, Norma, and the dumbasses were all on Warlock Island. That was the summer of 2001.

I'm going to miss Ivy the Dalek.

And yes, I need a life.
sweetheart10723
I think its about time for ivy to stop spitting vemon because we haev rebecca doing that enough and is it just me or does little innocent Gwen looking more and more like her evil mother as every epoisode goes by. i really hate how passions seems to drag on and on the same story lines for months i went back to school and when i satred watching it again 3 months later i havent missed a thing!passions should just be on the WB11

Passions always rings in the New Year with some sort of event happening on New Year's Eve, then the night lasts forever. Technically it's New Year's Day, since it's past midnight, but it remains between midnight and sunrise for weeks.

But I don't think it's even New Year's Eve in Harmony yet, is it? Or have I not been paying close attention?

I think Julian and Rebecca's wedding is supposed to be a New Year's Eve wedding.

The previews made it look like tomorrow will be New Year's Eve or New Years Day. We'll see.

(How long did the Luisheridantonioth wedding last? Two weeks? Three?)

I love how the promo has Rebecca tripping during her walk down the aisle and then Julian's snarky "clean up on aisle one".
pretzels
I have to admit I agreed with Ivy and Sam when they told off Grace.
Leanan
I just remembered something. I wanted to know what Ivy put in the soup that Sam brought home. Sam sounded like he liked it. Methinks it was something that will drop his inhibitions... and his pants - good ol' Tasteless Harmony Vodka.

I can't wait for the wedding. I want a closer look at whatever the hell Edna is wearing. Reminds me some of the horrible fashion at last year's double wedding. Charity, I'm looking at you and your road kill coat-thing.

is it just me or does little innocent Gwen looking more and more like her evil mother as every epoisode goes by.


No. I wanted to smack that smug look off her face when they showed up to take away Tiny Gay Ethan. I wish someone would tell her that it can be argued that it's partly her fault that Sara died.
Queen B

Oh, word. As a mother, she should've at least shown concern for TGE, but she didn't even have it in her to do that. I don't know, maybe Liza could've played it better.
bonobochick
Leanan, I completely agree with you about Gwen being partly responsible for Sara's death. I post on another passions board (at soapsite.com) and that has been debated to death. There are a number of folks that believe like Gwen that Sara's death was all Theresa's fault. I believe it was the fault of all 3 of them.

anyways, Gwen has worn out my last nerve. I did feel sorry for her initially after Sara's death. But when she showed up to Pilar's with the others to retrieve Tiny Gay Ethan with that smirk on her face... I was hoping Theresa would have smacked her along side with Ethan.
ChickenGrrl
Re: Gwen's culpability for her own daughter's death: in the slurry, drunken words of my best friend on a camping trip several years ago (about something completely different, of course), "Thish ish what I've been tryin' to tell you...for yearsh." All three of those morons caused it, and they should all either (a) go straight to hell, (b) get the hell off my TV, or © leave each other the hell alone and get new fucking storylines. (Geez, Chickengrrl, cranky much?)

On a more humorous note, in this week's SOD (which I AGAIN received several days late, those asshats), someone posed the question, "I heard that several of the men on 'Passions' modeled in the past. Can you tell me which ones?" The reply: basically everyone. Of them men, we have Chud (Charles Divins), Braindead (Christopher Douglas, looking ghastly in something that looks like either layering gone overboard, a football uniform, or shoulder pads gone bizarro world), Luis (Galen Gering), Sam (James Hyde), John (Jack Krizmanich) and Hank (Ryan McPartlin). The women's "short list" includes Ivy (Kim Johnston Ulrich), Eve (Tracey Ross), and NuKay (Heidi Mueller). No offense to models anywhere, but even the Dallas Morning News's annual fashion recap yesterday had this quote about models, from Barneys New York creative director Simon Donovan: "They're better when they're silent. Kate Moss kept her trap shut, and it really helped her career." I do find it interesting, though, that, IMHO, the women seem to have made a more successful crossover, in general. But, also IMHO, it doesn't surprise me in the least to hear this; I've never exactly watched this show for the brilliant acting!

Again, no offense to MTA's (model-turned-actors) anywhere. And while I think this show has more eye candy than most, and wouldn't change that for anything, some of these people should definitely have stuck with their original careers. I'm just sayin'. ;)
Country Girl
Speaking of Gwen, what really bothered me was a few weeks ago when Ethan first said he couldn't help Theresa and she got angry with him, Gwen was all, "See how quick she turns on you when you're not on her side" or some such drivel. I've been stewing over this, and I just want to go, Bitch! Even if Theresa can't have Ethan, she'd still like to think of him as a friend--and the godfather of her child--and he betrayed that trust. How would you like it if one day Sheridan said, "You know what, Gwen, I really think Theresa would be better for Ethan." You'd be pissed and hurt, wouldn't you? And you probably wouldn't like it if someone said you were turning on her just because she wasn't taking your side.

Gah. Hypocritical bitch. [/rant]
bibliosylph
stuff i'd like to see in 2004 Passions, as it comes out the end of my fingertips. probably i don't really, but i'm streaming consciousness just now.

Julian and Eve in bed together, with Rebecca listening (no, i'd really enjoy this. as long as it wasn't squicky on the eyes.)

Eve telling Gwen she can never have more children and alluding to the fact that if she'd stayed on bedrest like she was supposed to instead of reverse-stalking Theresa, she'd have a kid. (but i'm totally okay with the "everyone's at fault" theory. whatever.)

where'd Liz go? did i miss something there? i'd like to see her pregnant with TC's baby. can never be too many awkward pregnancies on a soap.

Antonio has an accident and must have his head shaved. or, he could just be forced to get a normal haircut.

let's see, Beth is a lush now, so she could get drunk and come on to, erm, Ethan! why? i dunno. why not? Antonio is too obvious. and it wouldn't be any fun if it was Alistair, him being unseeable and all.

does it seem odd, what with Passions the way it is and so forth, that there are no real lesbians in Harmony, only a couple vague old women? how about a nice young cute one shows up and begins to obsess over Charity?

i know these are not the most inspired ideas, but maybe you have more.
ChickenGrrl
I think the pictures from Freddie's last month in the DCTWoP organization thread can attest that there is. I kid cause I love!
Well, CultureVulture (and David), now I'm really intrigued. I searched David's post for the link, but haven't waded through the DC con thread yet. Anybody care to post a link? I'd love to know what my dear GH/B looks like! ;)

where'd Liz go?

Shhhhhh! Don't rock the boat!
mightymos
Am I hearing things? Or when Antonio was going off again about how Luis pressured Sheridan into blah blah blah, did Beth say, "The horse is dead, Antonio, stop beating it."
I swear I heard that but part of my new year's resolution is to watch less television. So by that, I mean the TV is on all the time, but I can't really ever look at it.

I love Julian.

Noah/Grace Puppet Theater
Today's Episode: Harmony 2008: Part 2
[Last Episode: Grace and Noah talked about Grace and Ivy's impending nuptuals, Pilar, the Harmony Killer, and some other things until Grace had to hang up. And now, back to the Pippet theater.]
Kay: Hello?
Noah: Hey Sis, calling back. So how are things going?
Kay: Pretty good. Maria said her first word yesterday after that horrible accident that put Gwen in that coma.
Noah: Well, that's what she got for trying to kill Little Ethan in that bathtub when she found out that he was really Big Ethan's son. Then, in confusion, she kidnapped your child rather than Little Ethan. I keep on telling Theresa, if you had let Little Ethan wear those wigs once in a while, he wouldn't have been wearing his cousins Easter Bonnet that weekend. How loud was it when the Crane mansion exploded?
Kay: Pretty loud. I would have never believed that Rebecca would blow it up in revenge when Julian divorced her to marry Dr. Russel. But anyway, Maria's talking again so her vocal cords healed so she and Whitney are doing an album together under Miguel's new record label. What was it called again... oh yeah, "Manhole Records." Can you believe I used to be in love with Miguel? Then he came out of the closet after your little visit home. Well, that really shook Charity. She lives in just sits in the kitchen of Tabitha's house and acts like other people inhabit her body. Just the other day, she tried to kiss Reese saying she was John. Anyway, then I started to notice Fox and Whitney was being fed all of those drugs by her father at the same time. Can you believe that he was really controlling Pilar with all of that voodoo stuff in his shed? Then he made her try to kill me because I was onto how he was pumping Whitney full of steroids. I had to shoot Pilar and in the confusion, I destroyed the voodoo amulet. Then Mr. Russel got blown up in that explosion in the Crane mansion? Anyway, Whitney went to that rehab clinic for a year and then me and Fox started to fall in love. Well, then Simone got into her head that Fox was in love with her and suddenly I was a whore or something. Now Simone has it in her head that Big Ethan is in love with her when we all know that he's in love with Edna. I swear, we were all surprised when we saw Ethan and Edna making out at the Fourth of July carnival last year. Hey, Fox needs some help changing his and Gwen's baby's diaper. I'll talk to you later. Here, talk to Edna.
Noah: Oh, hi Mrs. Wallace.
Edna: Is that you Noah. Oh, the blessed angels told me you were calling. You're not like my wicked, wicked daughter! Can you believe she kidnapped Sheridan's baby with Antonio only everyone thought it was Luis's? Then she tried to raise him only then Precious, my sweet sweet Precious, secretly did a DNA test on my harlot of a daughter? Turned out that not only was Sheridan's baby Sheridan's and Antonio's, but my evil, evil Bethy was that way because she was the daughter of the evil Alister Crane. But then, Ethan and Gwen's marriage fell apart when we found out about his son and we got to know each other when I was taking care of the little tyke when his mother got deported to her mother's home county and her sister got sent in her place. It's funny that that Paloma looks exactly like Theresa. But anyway, then me and Ethan fell in love because the blessed Angel's heard my prayer for a strong handsome man with giant pectoral muscles. Then Bethy got off on a technicality and now she has less bladder control then I do so me and Ethan put her in the nursing home. Well, got to go. Ethan looks pretty hungry for something only I can give him. Here, talk to your mom.
Grace: So, honey, think you're ready to come home for good? I'll make you some Tomato Soup Cake?
Noah: Sorry mom, but I really don't think I can considering that big nuclear desert between San Fransisco and Harmony. See, I told you not to vote for Bush in 2004.
Grace: Okay honey, well, I'll just send it to you then.
[Dial Tone}
DavidK93
See, I told you not to vote for Bush in 2004.

Oh, bradtastic, I do love you so very, very much!

Beth:  Now, Antonio, what’s that you were saying earlier about a way to keep Luis and Sheridan apart?
Antonio:  Yeah, I had an idea about it on the wharf about an hour ago, and I know that’s something you’re really keen on seeing happen, but I just totally forgot what it was during that hour we spent discussing last night’s World Idol results.


As if I expected a timeline to make any sense on Passions. Yeah, sure, Rebecca was just handing out invitations at the Lobster Shack, and enough time has passed for everybody to go home and change and arrive at the mansion, but for some reason Beth hasn’t followed up on what Antonio said. I mean, how lame was that? Also:

Beth:  Yeah, I know it’s dead.  Stop beating it.


I know I’m twelve, but I’m guessing Antonio’s been, ah, “beating it” a lot lately, if you know what I mean. And I think you do. Anyway, I fucking hate Antonio. Furthermore:

Liz:  I know that Sheridan is the love of your life.
Antonio:  Yes, she means everything to me.  But, still, didn’t we used to be in love?
Liz:  No, I’m sure we’d remember something like that.


Well, I’m a freak. But, didn’t Precious look great in that blue sequined number?!

Was anything more obvious than Julian’s “I had it once,” to Eve’s “You deserve true love?” I mean, I totally called that one. But Snarky!Julian? Is my new boyfriend. And, what was that about Julian being “only under” Rebecca in the vows? He’s never allowed to be on top? That’s rough.

I was starting to feel some sympathy for Theresa recently, really I was. But if JERk insists on consistently writing her to be so irrational, egocentric, and just plain stupid, I just don’t see how anyone is supposed to bring themselves to care about what happens to her. Well, actually, I come pretty close just on the strength of Lindsay Korman’s performance. I’ll love that girl no matter what they force her character to do. And Tiny Gay Ethan is the cutest little boy ever! But, wait, that blonde chick was supposed to be Phyllis? That’s got to be the third or fourth Phyllis we’ve seen, and I don’t think she’s ever been blonde before, has she? Also, Judge Reilly’s conflict of interest is so maddening that it makes me want to throw M&Ms at the TV.

Ethan:  Reilly is a damned crook!
Everyone:  WORD


Peace out.

I keep wondering why Ethan would even want to be with someone who is so obvious about rubbing his face in something. Today when Gwen said Happy New Year as they were carting Theresa away I just lost all love for her. As many have now mentioned - it was ALL of their fault that the baby died.

And David - would you be throwing colored M&Ms or the fancy new black and whites?

Colored, since that's what I have a bag of sitting next to me. But have you ever seen all twenty designer colors? They have it at both FAO Schwarz and Toys 'R' Us in NYC.

david you are in NYC? What part?

On topic:
It's official. I used to sit here and read TWOP and laugh at how you all called BrianTonio Braindead. And hahaha he's so stupid! But after watching him sign that paper that Allistair gave him, I started throwing things at the TV. How do you trust Allistair Crane? Yeah SUUUUUUUUURE he wants you and Sheridan together. Yeah, SUUUUUUUUUUURE he prefers you to Luis. Why? Why Antonio? Why would the same Allistair Crane who killed your pappy and made you flee the damn country be all of a sudden trustworthy?? You useless bag of wheat!

First, I'd like to say: SHUT. UP GWEN. I wanted to strangle her when she grabbed Ethan, said "Happy New Year" and kissed him while Theresa was being carted away. Bitch. If she doesn't want Ethan involved in Theresa's problems, how about not supporting Rebecca's plan to have him fight on their side.

I think that was the shortest wedding in Passions history. It didn't drag on and on like last year's double wedding. But lordy, there were some ugly ass dresses. Ivy's dress looked straight out of the 1980's, and I hated her hair. Anybody else notice that fuzzball on top of her head when she and Eve were talking? Hee, my sister and I were staring at it the whole time. Liz's dress looked like a goldfish or sherbert. Her head might not have been as round, but she just ended up looking like a Chia Head. Whitney's hair looked cute straight, but her dress looked like a Jennifer Lopez reject. Edna looked like... I have no idea. I keep thinking Renn Faire page. I think Eve was the prettiest today, even though I thought her dress would've looked better if she had ditched either the neck or shoulder straps.
There were some great lines today. Loved Julian's "hide the silver" and "absorbant chair" comments. Also loved Tabitha's "Rebecca doesn't need a donkey to look like a jackass."

Speaking of Liz's hair, anybody else here see Old School? She totally needs Spanish's do.

Meanwhile, TC has to resist temptation when Liz once again tries to seduce him! TC manages to rebuff Liz.
Good lord no. If I have to see that shit one more time, or hear another line like the inhibition/pants one, I swear, I just fucking quit!
TV-Ho
Loved all the snarky comments about Rebecca trying (and failing) to pull off the Barbie-Dream-Wedding gown. Alas, this puzzling and sad phenomenon doesn't only exist in Harmony. I still cringe when I think of my girlfriends of a "certain age" and their ridiculous princess weddings. Hint, hint.....Botox and tiaras should be mutually exclusive wedding accessories.

DavidK93: I know James Hyde used to be a background dancer with a band in the 80"s. I forget their name, but they had a dance hit with "You spin me round..." He only wore a jock strap and it was ass shot city...not that I was complaining.

Dead or Alive. Any thoughts on where I can find that video?

No, sorry. I grew up in Livingston, NJ, but now live in Baltimore.

Oh. My. God. I just saw that Dead or Alive video (or part of it anyway) yesterday (I think) during VH1's "I Love the '80s" and "I Love the '80s Strikes Back" marathon! I never even thought to look at the background dancers, because the whole joke was guys thinking, "Hey, that chick's kinda hot," and then realizing it was a guy.

David, if you have VH1 Classic, I suggest turning it on during their "We Are the '80s" segments. No idea on when it comes on, because I'm "over" videos these days. BUT - they also have an all-request show. If one were obsessed enough, one could request that video and then tape every episode to see if they showed it...
The Last Dodo
IIRC, James Hyde was a dancer for Dead or Alive way past their "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)"/"Brand New Lover" heyday, so the videos he would be in are probably a lot more obscure. However, the beauty of VH1 Classic (to me at least) is that they show absolutely anything...even videos you never knew existed...so he may well pop up there yet.

Here's Beth: "The horse is dead, Antonio. Stop beating it."

A. SHE should talk. B. I think The Horse Is Dead...Stop Beating It could neatly serve as the title of this series. Or at least the subject line of a memo to the writers.

So Rebecca, Ms. Donkey Love herself, is blanching at having an orangutan at the proceedings. I guess she plays favorites with species. Did love Tabitha's observation: "Rebecca doesn’t even need a donkey to make a jackass out of herself." Hee!

Apparently "Theresa" and "common sense" is destined to forever be an oxymoron. As opposed to most of the characters on this show, who are just plain old garden variety morons.

Whitney: Promise us you won't go tot he Crane Mansion.
Fox: Why don't we handcuff her to the water heater instead?  It's more secure.


Did they splice together a week's worth of episodes today or something? I wasn't used to such rapid plot development. Plus, did I catch a glimpse of Classic!Liz? I'm sure we'll never see it again.

One more comment about Ivy's outfit, her jewelry looked like it was made out of plastic. The type of jewelry you would find in the girl's section of Toys R Us.

I laughed when Gwen said "happy New Year". I don't blame her a bit for being a bitch. Theresa is a girl who pretended to be Gwen's best friend way back when, helping plan the wedding, etc., all the the while plotting to drive a wedge between Gwen and Ethan. If I had a friend/bridesmaid/maid of honor/whatever who did that to me, I'd be giddy at rubbing her pain in her face, too. Especially if that "friend" dedicated nearly every waking hour to plotting to steal my boyfriend/husband, telling me to my face that he is HER soulmate, declaring that they are "fate", cheating my husband out of a good job just so she can be near him, coming on to my husband while he's in the hospital with me where my daughter is dying, stealing my wedding ring, and whining 24/7 that she should be with him. Not matter how dire this "friend's" painful situation is, I would not feel one bit sorry for the bitch and yes, I would be happy about it.

If the situations were reversed, you can bet Theresa would be doing the same thing, uttering "happy New Year" if Gwen was being carted off. Knowing Theresa, she'd probably go a step further and break into song.
DavidK93

BWAH! You know, Theresa's preeclampsic delusion of the theme song is probably my all-time favorite Passions moment. I remember that Lindsay's part was all right ("Kiss Me" is my favorite performance of hers on the show, though.), while Ethan did a horrifically off-key Elvis impersonation. And then Natalie Zea busted out the best solo of the lot before they entered the group sing portion with the lovely choreography. Oh, the good old days.

She's not a rich lady anymore, had to get jewelry somewhere!

Check out this "Passions fashions" page of Rebecca and Julian's wedding. Especially this quote from the costume designer:

I wanted everyone to look their most stunning! Glamour to the hilt!


Egad! I hope she's being sarcastic. Here I thought they made everyone look kind of overdone because it was specified in the script!
DavidK93
Check out this "Passions fashions" page

Omigosh! I explored the area a little bit beyond just the wedding pics, and I found the area about the personal style that was developed for Charity. It shows some pics of her and explains what the scene was. It reads approximately like...

Charity had a premonition of fiery doom for all of her friends and family, while wearing this festive springtime frock by Givenchy.


I mean, that's not verbatim, but go check it out if you don't believe me. Two out of the five pics are basically that.
The Last Dodo
OMG, that's a riot!!! Even funnier is Liz's page, where this is the ACTUAL TEXT:

"Liz stood by and watched Eve's life fall apart while wearing this funky ensemble."
