Passions

It is not often that I am home to watch soap operas these days, but today, one day I am home, it has become obvious to me that there is an emptiness in soap opera land. Passions, which used to follow Days of Our Lives, has been removed from NBC in favor of Merv Griffin's new gameshow, Crosswords. Let me be the first to say that Crosswords is no replacement for the entertainment of Passions.
