ch7 axes PASSIONS
Aussie tv network ch7, has axed PASSIONS cos of poor ratings.
As you can imagine, fans of the soap are very angry. I wish a uk channel would pick it up, it would have a cult following. |

Passions. under head writer James E Reilley makes fun of itself a lot, a few episodes ago it had THIS!:
Katherine: Who’s judge Reilly? Luis: Only the most greediest, most shameless fat cat there is. Sam: Judge Reilly’s power and influence is legendary, so much so that NBC, the National Bar Commission, is hands off when it comes to his shenanigans. Luis: Reilly gets whatever he wants, whenever he wants it. Martin: Scoundrel. Sam: And this time’s no different. |

James E Reily is also ten times worse than Louise Berridge. He is RUINING Days (He's headwriter of both Days and Passions).

i also have a hard time with what Reilly is doing to DAYS, its just gone too far.
I cannot take the "They are not dead, they are on a copycat island" story seriously, its too camp and Flash Gordon like. The really sad thing about this is Reilly is also doing a story where Mimi has an abortion. So, realistic issues coupled with total banal sensation. Days is really losing it a pity because it does have some really fabulous talent like Alison Sweeney, Renee Jones etc.
