News, Cast Updates and Scoop

1. Bringing Their Passions to Days of Our Lives: An Interview with Lindsay Hartley and Eric Martsolf.

2. Galen Gering (ex-Luis, Passions) is the latest actor to join the cast of Crystal Chappell's (Carly, DAYS) Web series, VENICE. "I'm playing her brother and it's cool because the two characters have a really tight relationship," he reveals to Soap Opera Digest. "She asked me to do it and it should be fun. We're going to shoot it next week." Gering met Chappell for the first time on the DAYS set. "The first day we worked together, she was giving me mouth-to-mouth. That was an icebreaker!"

3. Natalie Zea meets 'Lawman': The new season of "24" has added yet another actor to its cast: Former "NewsRadio" star and "True Blood" vampire Stephen Root. FX, meanwhile, has made former "Dirty Sexy Money" star Natalie Zea a regular on its upcoming series "Lawman," according to The Hollywood Reporter. On "24," Root will appear in several episodes as a corrections officer who's searching for a missing parolee. How that fits into the larger story of the season is being kept under wraps, but we're guessing it's not just coincidental. The show begins its eighth season in January. Root played vampire Eddie in several episodes of "True Blood"; he also voiced the hapless Bill Dauterive in "King of the Hill" and had a recurring part on "Pushing Daisies" last season. He'll next be seen in the feature film "The Men Who Stare at Goats." "Lawman" stars Timothy Olyphant ("Damages") as a U.S. marshal working in his home state of Kentucky; Zea plays his ex-wife. She was billed as a guest star in the pilot but will continue the role as a regular member of the cast. In addition to "Dirty Sexy Money," Zea's credits include "Eyes" and a recurring part on "Hung."

4. Soap Opera Digest has learned that Felisha Terrell has been let go and Lindsay Hartley (ex-Theresa, PASSIONS) has been hired to take over the role of Arianna. Hartley reports to work tomorrow. The move reunites Hartley with her former PASSIONS brother Galen Gering (Rafe, ex-Luis) and on-screen love interest Eric Martsolf (Brady; ex-Ethan).

5. Passion Recap - The Final Episode: Thursday, August 07, 2008

   At the church, Kay zapped Father Lonigan into the chapel to baptize Tabitha. The Father refused to baptize a witch. He explained that he'd been told by an outsider about Tabby's supernatural leanings. Eve replied that if he didn't the volcano would kill them all. Tabitha was hurt by the Father's opinion of her, but her friends told him how she'd been the ones to save their lives. He apologized for misjudging her, but still wouldn't baptize her. Eve reminded him of the approaching volcano. "Have you been drinking again?" the Father asked Eve. "No!" she yelled. Julian and Tabitha backed her up. "It's already consumed my house," said Tabby. "Luckily, I've already sold it."

   In the basement, Little Ethan finally fixed Sam's video camera; everyone heard Gwen and Rebecca's confessions about well, everything. Theresa was excited that she and Ethan could finally be together. Everyone was appalled as they listened to Becks and Gwen tick off their long laundry list of sins. Gwen looked like she wanted to crawl into a hole. After, Ethan confronted Gwen and Rebecca about sending Juanita after Pilar. Rebecca tried to get out of it, but dug herself in deeper. Sheridan was also furious with them for putting Marty in danger with Juanita. Ethan couldn't believe that it was Gwen who'd initially revealed his true paternity to the tabloids all those years ago. "You are an evil bitch!" he spat. "I hate you." Gwen and her mom then tried to deny that they'd said anything on the tape, stating that it was a fake. She blamed Little E and Theresa for putting together different clips of them speaking. No one believed them, but Ethan did believe his son. Everyone congratulated him and Theresa for finally being able to be together. Ivy apologized for believing Gwen over Theresa and gave Theresa her blessing to be with Ethan. Ethan then announced that he wanted custody of Jonathan since Gwen was an unfit mother. Sam arrested Gwen and Becks for bribery, blackmail and being an accessory to murder for Juanita killing Pilar's sister. "Can you at least do a strip search?" Rebecca asked. "Oh, shut up!" Gwen told her mother.

   Meanwhile, the volcano continued to rage. Father Lonigan said he needed to hear Tabitha's confession before he baptized her. "It may take awhile," she warned him. Endora helpfully put things on "fast forward" to speed up time. "I may never recover," the Father said after. Everyone then came upstairs. "Oh my, Gwen and Rebecca are in handcuffs and not for fun!" Esme stated. Theresa happily announced that she and Ethan were going to be together. Julian was a buzzkill by informing them that a volcano was headed their way. Soon, the ground began to shake and rumble. Endora zapped the water so Tabitha could be baptized. Father Lonigan quickly performed the task, but the volcano still raged ahead. Esme filled them in on Endora and Kay being witches and Tabby being an ex-witch. The volcano then stopped erupting and a glowing light appeared. Everyone stood up and raised their hands toward the sky. "I'm truly happy for the first time in all my lifetimes," Tabitha stated and thanked Timmy. "There was forgiveness even for me."

   Later, Esme brought out drinks for everyone. Suddenly, Gwen and Rebecca were zapped into prison clothing. Rebecca then reminded Gwen how she'd married another guy in Las Vegas a few years back. Gwen tried to strangle her mom. Ethan realized that if Gwen were still married to the other man, that meant that he could marry Theresa. Kay zapped Gwen and Rebecca out of the church. Endora then restored Father Lonigan's site. Finally, Kay zapped Theresa into a beautiful wedding gown. Tabitha then got a surprise when Timmy appeared (we saw his little gloved hand).... As Theresa walked down the aisle, Fancy whispered to Luis that she was pregnant, while Sheridan declared her love for Antonio. Paloma then informed Noah that she was pregnant, as well.... Kay then offered to magically fix Julian's penis for him. Ew! (And man, couldn't all these people wait until Ethan and Theresa finished their wedding? How rude!) Anyway, Theresa finally walked down that seriously loooong aisle and began her vows to Ethan. Of course, they were interrupted by Gwen and Rebecca, who demanded their happy ending. They promised the Father that they wanted to be good, too. A handsome cop suddenly appeared and asked Gwen to go on a date with him once she got out of jail. Esme then freaked out when she finished her bottle of wine. Okay, NOW Ethan and Theresa were able to say their vows. Whew! "Always follow your passions because that and that alone will lead you to your happy ending," Theresa told the camera. And that was it!

   Good-bye, PASSIONS! Awww....

7. Exclusive Lindsay Korman Interview (Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald, Passions)

Facts

1. June 10, 2003 Passions aired its 1000th episode

2. Lindsay Korman (Theresa) & Mark A. Provert co-wrote "Kiss Me" the song she sang on the show

3. That's ALAN OPPENHEIMER providing the voice of sinister patriarch Alistair Crane on Passions. The veteran thespian boasts a wide and impressive range of credits, including the Broadway production of Sunset Boulevard, where he played Cecil B. DeMille opposite Glenn Close's Norma Desmond; Murphy Brown, where he spent several seasons as retired FYI honcho Gene Kinsella; and the feature film Little Big Man, with Faye Dunaway and Dustin Hoffman. Among his television guest-starring appearances are stints on Hogan's Heroes, I Dream of Jeannie, Bonanza, The Partridge Family, Bewitched, Knight Rider, Happy Days, Murder, She Wrote, Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Touched by an Angel.

   Oppenheimer has also enjoyed a prolific voiceover career, no surprise to anyone who has been intimidated just by the sound of him on Passions. His vocal incarnation of the despotic Alistair is doubtless influenced by his past portrayals of power-hungry Skeletor in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, the self-confident Vanity Smurf in The Smurfs, and the charismatic crooner/crusader Mighty Mouse.

4. A Passions spokesperson reports that the music and lyrics for the song, entitled "Breathe", were written by John Henry and Jane French and performed by Jane French. NBC Productions commissioned the team to compose the ditty and were obviously thrilled with the results
