Even though "Passions" has all the elements of a soap, it has it's uniqueness; things you would never see on a soap opera, unless hell froze over—literally! What other soap opera has 300-year-old battling witches, with a talking "Pinocchio" doll and hellfire portals (in basements and closets)?

On "Passions," we see a lot of supernatural things. Such as the teenagers being trapped in hell, Hecuba's mirror, and Evil Charity. This makes the show a powerful show, since it introduces supernatural events to soapland, even though "Days of Our Lives" and "PC" have had their supernatural moments. Evil forces in the basement, and talking angel statues, to psychic blind priests! So why is it always listed in the soap opera section?

Not only that, but the romantic plotlines are very different as well. When "Passions" first started, a lot of women dreamed of being with certain people. For instance, Theresa and Kay. And what makes this piece so powerful, is the forward and backward progression in those plotlines, not to mention past loves and lives. However, many of these determined women have stalker qualities—which may raise some commotion in the femenism department.

"Passions" is also known for it's humour—corny humour, but funny! Hecuba has appeared in as many wacky outfits and costumes as Cher has! So has Timmy, from a rabbi, to Santa's little helper! Last month, Ivy poured a bucket of paint on to Rebecca's head, and splashed a glass of wine in Julian's face. Sheridan's stubborn ways are also hilarious! The way she is so 'independant,' and how she always throws things at Luis—well, before they got together anyways!

"Passions" has done many interesting movie spoofs as well! For instance, "Passions" has done "Carrie," "Poltergeist," "Psycho," "Pinocchio," "Titanic," and much, much more! And don't forget the teenagers. In many other soap operas, the teenagers are just all lovey-dovey. Passions has a little of that too (Charity and Miguel), but there are also a lot of cat fights between siblings! There are forces of good and evil.
