“ My mom had to stay in the dressing room, it wasn't a friendly atmosphere and the show was crappy” does not necessarily equal toxic, but perhaps that was her personal experience.

The fact the interview title calls the set “toxic” when she herself doesn’t rubs me the wrong way. IMO if they didn’t like the experience I would think they’d probably skip the reunion like MEW.Īnother interesting thing I noticed was in the comment section of the YouTube video with MEW’s interview, someone claiming to have worked on Passions defended the show and said the show was very fast paced and for a 14 year old like Mary who was just starting off on a soap, the experience was probably much different compared to anything she had done up to that point which is reasonable. She left to continue college.īoth Lena and Taylor were at the Passions Reunion a couple years back and had nothing but good things to say. Lena Cardwell was actually on the show for a good chunk of the early years, 1999-2001, Chrystee Pharris didn’t take over the role until the hell in the closet Taylor Anne Mountz was dating Jesse Metcalfe. Have any of them ever really elaborated on their experiences? MEW, Taylor Anne Mountz and Lena Cardwell were all off the show after a year. Maybe it was the youngest cast members, the ones who still needed guardians with them, that had it really bad. It seems like most of the Passions cast became close and still are to this day (and always had a relatively small cast for an hour-long show). I didn't know that she broke her contract to get out of the show.
