Welcome to the town of Harmony, the deceptively picturesque New England town and principal site of “Passions.” On its surface, Harmony looks like an idyllic New England town, but this is no ordinary place. “Passions” explores the lives, loves, and losses of four core families who reside in Harmony: the Cranes, the Lopez-Fitzgeralds, the Bennetts and the Russells.
The wealthy Cranes, under the helm of patriarch Alistair, rule the town. Despite the difference in their economic status, the lives of the Cranes are constantly intertwined with the working class Lopez-Fitzgeralds, held together by single-mother Pilar. As a result of a long-buried secret, Alistair’s wife, Katherine, left town years ago with housekeeper Pilar’s husband, Martin. Pilar’s son Luis and Alistair’s daughter Sheridan, who are in love, seem to always be battling obstacles. Meanwhile, Luis’s sister, Theresa, wants nothing more than to be a family with Ethan. Ethan’s wife, Gwen, and her mother, Rebecca, will do anything to prevent Theresa from stealing Ethan away.
Chief Sam Bennett and his amnesiac wife Grace Bennett had three children together—Noah, Kay, and Jessica. But thanks to Ivy’s scheming, Grace is out of the picture and Ivy is back in Sam’s heart and home. Kay and Jessica remain resentful of their mom for leaving.
TC and Dr. Eve Russell have a strong presence in the community—TC is the high school athletic coach and Eve is a respected physician. They have two daughters, Whitney and Simone. The seemingly perfect Russell family exploded when Eve’s secret past with Julian came to light, thanks to the machinations of Eve’s vengeful sister Liz. It turned out that Eve and Julian had a child together. Their child was none other than Chad Harris, Whitney’s boyfriend!
And let’s not forget 300 year-old witch Tabitha Lenox! For years, Tabitha wreaked havoc in Harmony along with her reluctant sidekick, doll-turned-boy Timmy. Tabitha was heartbroken when her beloved Timmy passed away, but is now causing just as much mischief and mayhem with the help of her magical daughter, Endora, as well as her sidekick, Kay Bennett.
“Passions,” the creation of celebrated daytime drama veteran James E. Reilly, has revolutionized the daytime genre with unparalleled ratings growth, ground-breaking special effects, and critical acclaim.
“Passions” is produced by NBC Studios in association Outpost Farms Productions, Inc. and is taped in Studio City, California. Lisa de Cazotte is the executive producer.
