Some bad supernatural news for Passions fans: as from Friday, 12 September 2008 the show's being discontinued on e.tv and the final season won't be broadcast.
The show reaches the end of it's second-last season on the 12th and won't continue into it's final season - because of issues with the music rights of the show. Apparently e.tv wasn't able to license the final season because the distributor couldn’t clear the music rights for it.
Music rights for shows are bought seperately from the show itself and while we can't get official confirmation on it, word on the street is that the music rights for Passions got too expensive.
As from Monday, 15 September Real TV replaces Passions, resulting in the schedule looking like this:
16h40 Real TV
17h10 The Young And The Restless
18h00 eNews at 18h00
