"Passions" is an American soap opera that aired on the Seven Network from 2001 to 2008 and Seven affiliate Prime from 2001 to 2004. It originally began in a 3:00 pm time slot on weekday afternoons, before being shifted to a 9:30 am time slot in 2005. New episodes stopped airing in Australia later that year, as NBC Productions judged it too expensive to clear music rights for international distribution. "Passions" then moved into re-runs at a 2:00 am time slot.
