July 2002

Passions" has been nominated for an IMAGEN Award in the category of "Best Daytime Drama." This marks the second nomination for "Passions" for an IMAGEN Award. Last year, at the 16th Annual IMAGEN Awards, "Passions" was not only nominated, but won the IMAGEN Award in the same category. Also up for this award this year is "The Bold and the Beautiful."

"Considering that the IMAGEN Awards entire mission statement is to recognize the best of what Hollywood can produce in accurately portraying Latinos and Latino cultures within the entertainment industry, I can only say that we are extremely honored to be nominated for this award. We wanted to do it right and obviously, with this nomination, the Latino community acknowledges that we are. That makes us proud," said Executive Producer, Lisa S. Hesser.

The IMAGEN Awards are put on by the IMAGEN Foundation, a non-profit organization whose dedication is to increase Latino representation within the entertainment industry. The awards will be presented at a black-tie gala dinner on June 6, 2002 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and will mark its 17th year as the most prestigious Latino award in the entertainment industry.

Special honorees this year will include Esai Morales and Penelope Cruz for Entertainers of the Year Award; Andy Garcia for Creative Achievement Award and a Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to Cristina Saralegui, who guest-starred on "Passions" as Tia Cristina.

Atlantic Records' Seven and the Sun will debut their new single, "Walk With Me" on the May 15th episode of "Passions." The very special musical performance marks the first-ever collaboration between NBC Daytime and Atlantic Records.

According to Sheraton Kalouria, Senior Vice President, NBC Daytime Program, "Passions was looking for the one special song that would capture the attitude and spirit of the stories they'll be telling in Summer 2002. "Walk With Me" is that song and when viewers hear it, they'll immediately understand why we're so sure it's destined for the top of the charts."

Propelled by lead singer/songwriter Seven, the New Jersey-based group has created a collection of utterly infectious songs, which capture a stunning range of emotions and an equally remarkable variety of sounds. The album, "Back to the Innocence" is an irresistible assortment of modern pop soul, highlighted by the feelgood first single "Walk With Me." "Back To the Innocence" will be released on June 18.

"Passions is thrilled to be able to provide the exclusive worldwide network television debut of Seven and the Sun's energetic "Walk with Me," said "Passions"' Executive Producer Lisa S. Hesser.

"What a great surprise to find this irrepressible band playing unapologetically feelgood music," said Paul Antonelli, "Passions"' music supervisor. Seven and the Sun is obviously on the cusp of something huge and is the perfect fit for "Passions." "Walk With Me" will continue to play on "Passions" throughout the summer of 2002."

Make sure tune into "Passions" on Wednesday, May 15 to see the debut of Seven and the Sun and their hot new song, "Walk with Me!"
