Доктор, вы мне поможете?

Предполагаю, что нет. Заползла в википедию и читаю статью про любимый сериал Спайка и Джойс-"Страсти". Дошла до того, что решила нарисовать схемку со стрелочками, чтобы понять, кто кого чей когда и куда. Особо мне понравилось это:

One of Passions' most notorious trademarks is the false Dream Sequence. Often times, the show will play out an outlandish event, or explode a huge secret viewers have longtime been waiting to see, only to immediately after go back and reveal it all to be a day dream. This dream sequence can last anywhere from a few scenes to a few episodes, typically beginning without warning. On Passions, often a dream sequence will begin with no visual cues of any sort what so ever. Oftentimes going as far to include contradictory elements to give the dream sequence credence. (For instance, another character may show up within the dream wearing an outfit, or revealing information that the daydreamer had no possible way of knowing about beforehand.) While a veteran viewer can usually spot a fake dream sequence once it's neared its climax, the fake dream sequence tend to cause confusion amongst the more casual viewer who may not get to catch the revelation that it was all dream.

и вот это:

Another recurring theme on Passions is sexual violence. Many storylines, especially through the last half of Passions' run, have included rape as a plot point. The use of rape is so prevalent, in fact, that nearly every major character on the show has either committed or been victim to a rape, including a handful of characters who have both been raped and have sexually assaulted someone else. In 2006 for instance, a storyline was featured where Crane patriarch Alistair Crane made deals involving sex as payment with his wife Theresa, but then would subsequently rape her if she tried to renege. And in the summer of that year, Passions introduced the mermaid, Siren, who had the ability to force men to sleep with her simply by singing her "Siren song." Passions has even begun storylines involving double rapes, where couples are forced to sleep together by outside forces; in the fall of 2006, when police officers Fancy Crane and Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald were busted on an undercover assignment, the couple was forced to shoot a porn video for a mob boss or else be killed. Oddly enough, men on the show are equally as likely to be violated as women. In 2006 alone the following characters were all victims of a sexual assault: Julian Crane, Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald Crane, Jessica Bennett, Fancy Crane, Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald, Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald, Fox Crane, Ethan Winthrop, and Katherine Barrett Crane.

при том, что Passions' school-aged target audience.



Но вот с этим они молодцы, конечно, стебанулись знатно:



In 2003, Passions submitted a trained orangutan named BamBam, who had been portraying the recurring role of Precious, for a Daytime Emmy Award. Precious was the non-speaking live-in nurse and caregiver for elderly Mrs. Wallace, and held an unrequited love for Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald (depicted in elaborate fantasy sequences). In early 2004, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, which administers the awards, disallowed the entry, with the following statement:



Our ruling is based on the belief that the Academy must draw a line of distinction between animal characters that aren't capable of speaking parts and human actors whose personal interpretation in character portrayal creates nuance and audience engagement that uniquely qualifies those performers for consideration of television's highest honor.



Черт, кажется я реально скучаю по временам, когда я смотрела абсолютно все мыльные оперы...

@темы: Бред, Passions

А что? О "Страстях" у меня до сих пор самые, что ни на есть теплые воспоминания.

[Bri]

Ну а я их не смотрела. Потому что не крутили у нас. Жалко.

Теперь понятно, за что его так любил Спайк.

Мама родная, вот так живешь и не знаешь, где можно натолкнуться на источник всякой скверны.

Если посмотреть на фамилии... Это что две семьи друг друга того этого?

[Bri]

Ну я так поняла, там несколько главных семей, а Крейны-вообще самые-самые-самые главные. А Лопез-Фицжеральды-их вроде как главные враги. Так что наверное да, того этого две семьи эти.
