This is like nothing you have ever seen before!

I am a truly avid fan of Passions. As a general rule, I abhor soap operas, but this one stuck on me. Perhaps it's Timmy, the doll come to life (played by the BRILLIANT Josh Ryan Evans). Or it could be his sidekick, the 300-some year old witch Tabitha (played by veteran actress Juliet Mills) who always tries to create evil and chaos but never quite succeeds. It could be the questionable paternity of several of the shows main characters. Whatever it is, Passions has got me hooked. I reccomend Passions to ANYONE who has a thing for Science Fiction and watching people talk their way out of absolutely ridiculous situations!
