Passions has officially closed down production. The last episode was shot on March 29. No other network, or web property, has swept in this time to pick the show up and save it for a second time. As fans our hopes are dwindling and we must start to embrace the idea that the final months of airing episodes are the last times we'll spend with the folks in Harmony. Until now many of us thought there was a chance that Passions may be saved, but a recent post on McKenzie Westmore's message board, by McKenzie herself, has caused me to accept that the end is inevitable. In part she writes "I guess I never posted before about a farewell to Passions because I didn't really want to believe that it was over until we actually filmed a final scene. Well my friends, that day has come. It was a very sad day in Harmony, a town in which we all must say goodbye to. The last and final episode was shot today and emotions were very high as we were all so upset to say goodbye to one another and our second home of 4024 Radford Ave."

So I guess this is it, Passions will continue to air on DirecTV through August of this year, and then we will say our final good-byes.
