As everyone who ever read a Marlena column in SOW knows, I especially loved and adored Timmy and the late actor who portrayed him, Joshua Ryan Evans. How much do our favorite soap characters mean to us? Viewing Tabby and Timmy’s props and memorabilia in the auction list, I was surprised to feel almost as bereft and lonely as when I cleared out my own parents’ apartment of many decades recently. Sadly, there’s not much of either in soap scripts of today! Marlena personally prizes originality and humor in all writing. From Tabitha’s peeks into her magic bowl and warnings about her unseen collaborators - Our Friends in the Basement - to Timmy’s fantasies of being everything from a World War 1 doughboy to Rasputin’s butler, the misadventures of that ersatz mother and son brought me more genuine laughter and sheer joy than anything I’ve watched in my many decades of soap viewing. Now I know a lot of you hated Passions, but I thought (and regularly wrote) that the first two years of the show were a hoot and a treasure trove of creativity and imagination. And the item I remember best from the show and most want for Christmas: Timmy’s and Tabby’s actual Martimmy shaker. I sniffled mightily as I went through the items of two favorite characters, Tabitha and Timmy: Tabby’s framed picture of her adorable daughter Endora the actual paws of Fuzzy, Timmy’s largely unseen cat who menaced him from offstage a la “Fang” from the old Soupy Sales show, and course Tabitha’s collection of fabulous gauzy skirts and beaded shawls, all purchased I’m sure at the very best of California New Age clothing stores.īut I was unprepared for actual tears brought forth by the sight of Tabby’s and Timmy’s bicycle built for two, which I remember from the first episode (Timmy fell off into the lake).
Considering the intensity of fans’ love for soaps, I can’t think of anything else that would be more of a sure thing. To my knowledge, there’s never been an online auction like this of props and costumes from a soap. But I did it in my own way by browsing the list of August 9 auction of Passions props and memorabilia here on.
I don’t have the chance to say good-bye to Passions because I don’t have Direct TV to watch the last episode. 9: Fabobug appreciates Passions’ honest eccentricities … Jonnysbro wishes the cast well … Cherry Ames, with mixed feelings, says the likes of Passions will never pass our way again … and more.
