Did anyone here ever watch the (2000) soap opera "Passions"?

It was a ground-breaking soap in many ways, but my favorite thing about it was the setting. Most soaps follow the lives of the landed gentry and their servants as they fall in and out of love, and deal with things like blackmail, kidnappings, terrorist explosions, and evil twins. We're supposed to just accept that they live wildly improbable (or impossible) lives.

"Passions" is set in a small New England town. In this town lives Tabitha, a reincarnation of a witch burned at the stake 400 years ago. To get revenge, she uses her (considerable) magic powers to make sure nobody in town can ever find true love or happiness.

Kinda makes other soaps look lame and thinly-plotted, huh?

One alcoholic character, Edna, adopted a female helper simian named Precious, and trained her to be an alcoholic too. Whenever someone called Precious a monkey, Edna would screech, "She's an ORANGUTAN!" Precious had an unrequited crush on hunk Luis, as explored in this video: youtube.com

Tabitha had a long-running affair with a doll she brought to life named Timmy, though that didn't stop her from threatening him all the time: youtube.com

It was the first soap to show two women in bed together, and the first to show two men in bed together. "Passions also broke new ground in 2007 with its portrayal of Vincent as an intersexual who becomes pregnant with his own father's son." (en.wikipedia.org)

Woah! This is crazy. Is it on netflix?

Fuck yes. I scheduled my college classes around this show and if I couldn't I taped it (on my VCR). There was an INCEST story line. Truly the best show ever on television.
