Children of Passions - Others

Others

• In early 2001, Sam and Grace Bennett discover that, after more than fifteen years, they have finally conceived their much longed-for fourth child. Though early in her pregnancy, Grace feels that she is carrying a son, and plans to name him Jack Bennett. However, when Grace hears the news that her husband fathered Ivy Crane's firstborn, Ethan Crane, she collapses and falls down the stairs at the Crane mansion. She subsequently suffers a miscarriage on February 14, 2001.
• Desperate to regain custody of her son, Little Ethan, who was adopted by Ethan and Gwen Winthrop, Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald drugs the Winthrops' intended surrogate and has herself implanted with their embryo. Later, when Theresa fears that she has miscarried and thereby lost her leverage, Theresa drugs and rapes Ethan, becoming pregnant once more. However, in August 2004, Theresa discovers that she is carrying twins — Ethan and Gwen's son, and her and Ethan's daughter. When Theresa is informed that she cannot carry both children to term, she chooses to have the weaker fetus aborted, and the boy, whom Ethan and Gwen planned to name Nathan Winthrop, is terminated on November 8, 2004.
• Newlyweds Chris and Sheridan Boothe learn that they are expecting their first child together in April 2006 (coinciding with actress McKenzie Westmore's pregnancy). However, the news of Sheridan's son Marty's apparent death on July 17 devastates the couple, and Sheridan suffers a miscarriage as a result on July 20, 2006.
• In May 2007, Whitney Harris-Crane finds that she and her new husband, Chad, are expecting their second child together. The two are thrilled, but their marriage is torn apart when Whitney discovers that Chad has been cheating on her with Vincent Clarkson. Whitney takes their two-year-old son, Miles, and leaves Chad; the two are trying to work through their problems when Chad is murdered by his own father on August 28, 2007. Unable to stay in a town filled with memories of Chad any longer, Whitney moves to New Orleans, Louisiana, hoping to start a new life with Miles and her unborn child. The date of birth, gender, and name of Whitney and Chad's youngest child are never given on-air, Sam Bennett mentions in late 2007 that Whitney is still expecting, while a letter from Simone to Kay on July 16, 2008, reveals that Whitney has already given birth.
• On May 12, 2008, the intersex Vincent Clarkson gives birth to a baby boy who was fathered by his own father, Julian Crane. Neither Vincent nor Julian ever officially names the child before the series finale three months later.
• In the Passions series finale on August 7, 2008, Fancy Lopez-Fitzgerald tells her new husband, Luis, that they are expecting their first baby together. It is assumed that Julian becomes head of the Crane Empire with Fancy and her unborn child as heirs presumptive based on Julian's statements in that episode. A few minutes later, Luis's sister Paloma tells her new husband, Noah Bennett, that they are also to become parents. The genders and intended names of the babies are never revealed, though the time of Fancy and Paloma's announcements indicates that the children would have been born sometime around April 2009.
