Passions

Liz is adopted, so in soap opera land it's okay for Chad and Whitney to hook up despite being first cousins because they aren't blood relatives.

Ooooh I thought Liz and Eve were sisters biologically. Well then, I'll be in the corner of ignorance.

The writers threw in the twist of Liz being adopted well into the whole Chad/Whitney story, after they'd gone through all the sibling-shagging angst. Guiding Light did a kissing cousins story that was hugely controversial for them, but you'd figure Passions would stick with something even more outrageous just because.

I usually don't care about spoilers when it comes to soap operas anymore because most of them aren't that good to get invested in, but I had to share this one because it like a really fun idea if they actually go through with it. I don't know if it is true or not, but with this show and with JER(K) writing, it sounds very plausible that this might be how they go out.

Supposedly, another one of Tabitha's spells backfires like with the whole tsunami thing, which I thought was really uncool and offensive, but this time some of the residents of Harmony turn into zombies while some of the characters have to battle them off.

That's awesome, I'd cut class to watch those shows.

I would too! aibohphobia, when is that plot supposed to happen?

I'm not sure when exactly, but it's suppose to be the last major story arc they do just like how they did Passions: Red, Passions: Vendetta, and Passions: Tabloid Truth. I hope it starts pretty soon though if this is true.

Did "Guiding Light" have a backlash for that storyline?

They've got nothing to lose at this point so they might as well have some fun!

The audience was split between the hot and icky camps, but the couple also had a big following, the soap media liked the writing and acting, and the ratings didn't precipitously plummet because they were together.

The spoiler about zombies sounds like it will be the best thing ever!
