Whitney Russell

Whitney Harris-Crane (maiden name Russell) is a fictional character on the American soap opera Passions, which aired on NBC from 1999 to 2007 and on DirecTV in 2007–08. Passions followed romantic and supernatural adventures in the fictional New England coastal town of Harmony. Created by the soap's founder and head writer James E. Reilly, the role was portrayed by Brook Kerr from the series' debut in July 5, 1999 to September 7, 2007. In 2005, Sidne Siobhan Phillips portrayed the character in flashbacks.

Whitney, part of Passions' Russell family, is introduced as the eldest daughter of Eve Russell (Tracey Ross) and T.C. Russell (Rodney Van Johnson) and the sister of Simone Russell. While primarily shown as a confidant to Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald Crane (Lindsay Hartley), the character's later storylines focus on her romance with Chad Harris-Crane and the possibility that they may be engaging in an incestuous relationship. Following Chad's death, she leaves Harmony to raise her children, Miles Harris-Crane and unnamed Harris-Crane, in New Orleans with the support of her father and sister.
