Miles Davis Harris-Crane (born Miles Davis Harris) is the eldest child of Chad Harris-Crane and Whitney Russell. Whitney has already found out that she is pregnant with Miles, but has not shared the news with anyone, when it was revealed that Chad's biological parents are Julian Crane and Eve Russell, Whitney's mother. To protect herself and her unborn child from the stigma of incest, Whitney begins a relationship with Fox Crane and tries to pass the unborn child off as his own. As her due date grows closer, however, Whitney feels more strongly that she cannot keep a child born of incest and urges Fox to go search for her best friend Theresa's missing daughter, Jane, convincing him to leave her with his power of attorney. Whitney gives birth to a son on March 23, 2005, and quickly uses Fox's power of attorney to give the child up for adoption. Fox is devastated to return to Harmony and find that he has lost custody of his newborn child. Though Julian and Eve, along with Whitney's father, TC, try to adopt the boy, custody is unknowingly awarded to his biological father, Chad Harris. Chad, who is still in love with Whitney despite the fact that she is his half-sister, tries to use "their" son to woo her back; together, they name the baby Miles Davis Harris after the legendary jazz musician of the same name.

When a tsunami strikes Harmony, Chad and Whitney end up once again having incestuous sex. Whitney admits to Chad that he is Miles's biological father, which a distraught Fox overhears. Whitney is so upset with herself for having had sex with Chad again that she joins a convent and prepares to take holy orders. Eventually, however, it is revealed that Chad's parents are actually Alistair Crane and Liz Sanbourne, Eve's adoptive half-sister, meaning that Chad and Whitney are only adoptive half-cousins and therefore not blood related. Elated, they renew their relationship and marry on December 26, 2006, becoming a family with Miles.

Unfortunately, Chad had begins an affair with tabloid reporter Vincent Clarkson, whom Chad is unaware is his half-nephew, while he believes that he and Whitney are siblings, and finds himself unable to stop once he and Whitney are back together. Whitney finds out about the affair shortly after revealing that she is pregnant again and leaves her husband. Chad is fatally shot in the chest by his own father, Alistair, on August 28, 2007, and Whitney, devastated, decides to take Miles and move to New Orleans to rebuild her life with her children away from Harmony.

Though Chad and Whitney take on the surname Harris-Crane upon their marriage, it is never definitively stated that Miles adopts that surname as well, though it is logical to assume so. After Chad's death, however, Whitney instructs doctors at the morgue to call her only "Mrs. Harris", so Miles may have reverted to his previous surname, if he ever changed it.
