Weird soap opera penectomy storyline

Here is an excerpt from NBC's Passions soap opera storyline. Apparently the show got really weird in the end:

"Viki stabs Julian multiple times in the groin, completely severing his penis.

Vincent then makes sure that Eve [a surgeon] is drugged and drunk while she does surgery on Julian, and the effects are she didn't repair his penis, she turned it upside down. Julian now fears that he may never be able to have sex again, because if he has an erection it will kill him.

At the wedding rehearsal, Julian reconciles with Eve once and for all and they agree to only go to each other for support, and when they're in trouble. Julian worries that he will never be able to make love with Eve, but Eve reassures him that they can make love emotionally and intellectually. Julian also vows now that Alistair is gone, the Crane family will be more responsible for their actions.

Along with everyone else at the rehearsal dinner, Julian eats Vincent and Vicki's poison mushroom sauce, and dies. But, because of his daughter Endora's love for him, she has convinced her mother, Tabitha, to sacrifice her magic and resurrect all the people dead in the church.

In the series finale, Kay Bennett uses her magic powers to heal Julian's penis, making it possible for him and Eve to fully express their love to one another."

This is the writers poking the network. THe network execs demand uncreative pablum and when goven a chance, the writers go weird and get out there on them.

well it makes a new story line, andno other soap has used that before so i guess that will get them some extra viewers.

and no doubt raised a few eyebrows as well about sutch a story line.
