Reilly and produced by NBC StudiosPassions follows the lives, loves and various romantic and paranormal adventures of the residents of Harmony, a small town in New England with many secrets.

The final episode was broadcast in August 2008.  As of 2021, Passions is the last daytime television soap opera created for American network television.
