Passions for Life
117 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 3 years ago -Natalie and Travis met while playing Ethan and Gwen, 2/3 of the love triangle at the heart of Passions, NBC's beloved and utterly bizarre daytime drama. They fell in love, got married, and moved onward and upward from the show that the New York Times called "the Twin Peaks of daytime". But trauma endures. Once a week, they'll be sharing the nuts and bolts of Passions from the inside, what it was like to be there, and how they found love and happiness with one another in the shadow of a show that critics said, "...seems to have a death wish".
