I knew when I saw the headline on Fark that this story had to be about Passions:

SAY hello to daytime's newest, albeit strangest, supercouple. An orangutan named Precious made her debut last week on NBC's "Passions," and will soon begin having carnal thoughts of lust in the afternoon with her love interest, the soap's resident hunk Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald. Quirky characters mixed with classic love stories is one reason the barely four-year-old soap has quickly become No. 1 among teen girls. The notion of pairing Precious with Luis is what sets it apart from daytime's other offerings. [link]
