and yet again just today passions mentioned BARNABAS COLLINS on todays episode on DIRECTV! I believe this is the 3rd or even 4th time BARNABAS is mentioned on the series. this time JOSETTE is also mentioned! here is the transcript.....
EDNA: ARE YOU OFF FOR A DATE WITH BARNABAS COLLINS?
TABITHA: 300 YRS LATER POOR BARNABAS IS STILL MOURNING THE LOSS OF HIS BELOVED JOSETTE. I'VE TOLD HIM TO "GET A LIFE" BUT SINCE HE'S TECHNICALLY DEAD ALREADY.......
EDNA:(chuckles)DO YOU WANT TEA OR COFFEE?
TABITHA: TEA
THIS is the Passions I loved.
When they did stuff like this, they enjoyed a 2.5 rating, around 3 million viewers.
They should have stuck with the "Dark Bewitched" format~~when they started doing stories about rape, incest, and tranny serial killers, the rating went down to 1.3
Now, they're off the air for good on Aug 11th.
Well, I guess we can count Passions writer/creator James E. Reilly as among the celebrity DS fans.
