The Power, The Passion
The Power, The Passion is an Australian television daytime soap opera produced by the Seven Network in 1989.

The series was devised to lure audiences away from American imports such as The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless but failed to make an impact and was cancelled due to low ratings after 168 episodes.
