[edit] Character History
Chad Harris is the son of Alistair Crane and Liz Sanbourne conceived out of a rape that occurred in Boston several years ago. Chad grew up in Los Angeles and was raised to believe he was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harris but he later discovered he was adopted. When Chad was 8 he ran away but when he returned home he found the Harris's had disappeared. Chad then went into foster care. As a young adult Chad became a record executive and married a woman named Latoya. Chad came to Harmony in search of the Harrises but Latoya refused to give up her friends and family to live in Harmony so they separated.
Chad came to Harmony and soon fell for Whitney Russell. Whitney's mother Eve Johnson strongly disapproved of the relationship as Chad reminded her of Julian Crane whose bad influence had helped put her on the path of drug use and prostitution several years earlier. Whitney, Chad and Simone were involved in a love triangle but Chad never really cared for Simone like he did Whitney. Matters were complicated further when it was revealed that Chad was the son Eve had with Julian several years earlier. A pregnant Whitney became involved with Fox Crane and had hoped to cover up the fact that the child she was carrying was her half-brother's son. After Miles Harris was born Whitney put him up for adoption but ironically he was adopted by Chad who at the time was unaware that Miles was his biological son.
After Chad broke up with Whitney he was briefly involved with Valerie Davis, his co-worker at Crane Industries but that fizzled out. After Chad discovered Miles's paternity he wanted to be a family with Whitney despite the way society condemned their supposedly incestuous relationship. Whitney disagreed and eventually went to go live in a convent. Some time later Alistair manipulated Whitney in a plot to take over the world. After the crisis was over Chad confronted Alistair's henchman JT Cornell who showed Chad evidence that Chad was the son of Julian's father Alistair and Eve's adopted sister Liz. Soon after Chad and Whitney reunited. However, it has recently been revealed that Chad is having an affair, possibly with Valerie. Whitney suspects that he is sleeping with her but doesn't know for sure.
