From TV Guide magazine: PASSIONS ends its nine-year run in August, but it's not too late to break through another sexual barrier - or quietly make suds history. On July 22, AARP-age lesbians Norma (Marianne Muellerielle) and Edna (Kathleen Noone) will say "I do" in daytime's first legal gay wedding.

TOM CASIELLO: The Biggest Trend on Daytime I Wish Would Go Away
"STOP KILLING OFF LEGACY CHARACTERS AND BRINGING THEM BACK IMMEDIATELY AS GHOSTS!"
Deep Soap: Blast From The Past
"It’s one of the great daytime clichés. A character stares off into space as the show cuts to a flashback of a pervious scene. At their best, flashbacks are a great way of showing the audience what a character is thinking. At their worst, flashbacks are filler. When a character has a lengthy recollection of something that has happened within the past couple weeks, it’s a signal for a lot of people to switch the channel or hit the fast forward button."

But, the three items above really do explain everything that's gone wrong - not with the idea of the story of an illicit affair, which as my good friend, Marlena de la Croix points out, "are staples of soaps," - but with the how and why, and how fast, of this story.
