[edit] Character History

Whitney Russell is the oldest daughter of T.C. Russell and Eve Johnson. Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald has been best friends with Whitney since childhood and Whitney has always proven to be a true friend to Theresa going to bat for her even when she probably shouldn't. Whitney wasn't big on dating growing up and instead focused on her tennis career at her father's insistence. Whitney always emulated her mother never knowing the secrets Eve was keeping from her (drug abuse, prostitution, a bastard son with Julian Crane etc).

Whitney briefly dated a detective named Frank Lomax who was investigating Theresa for stalking Ethan but that relationship fizzled out. Whitney later met Chad Harris the man who would become the love of her life. Both Whitney and her sister Simone both fell for Chad but as time went on the revelation came out that Chad was Eve's son with Julian thus Whitney had been sleeping with her half brother. Eventually Whitney began dating Fox Crane (Julian's son and believed to be Chad's half brother). Whitney passed off her son Miles Harris as Fox's son so it wouldn't grow up with the stigma of being born out of incest.

Eventually Whitney wracked with guilt at her lying in sin with who she believed was her brother chose to join a convent to get closer to god. Eventually she was manipulated by Alistair Crane in a convoluted scheme of his to rule the world. After the crisis it was discovered that Chad was in fact not the son conceived by Eve and Julian Crane but rather the son of Eve's sister Liz Sanbourne and Julian's father Alistair Crane conceived when Alistair raped Liz several years earlier.

Whitney and Chad are now free to raise their son without the stigma of incest hanging over them. It has recently been revealed that Chad began sleeping with someone else during Whitney's stay in the convent and that this relationship has continued even after Chad and Whitney's reunion. Whitney has become suspicious of Chad but has yet to discover the identity of Chad's lover. Chad's lover has since been revealed to be tabloid reporter Vincent Clarkson.

Whitney wed Chad on-air on Monday, December 26, 2006, and took his last name, becoming known as Whitney Russell Harris-Crane.

  • It was originally believed that Whitney's boyfriend Chad was her half-brother due to her mother Eve having a son with Julian. It was later discovered Whitney's adopted aunt Liz was raped by Julian's father Alistair and gave birth to Chad. Thus, he is her cousin in law, but they have no blood relation.
  • Whitney was once involved with Fox who is Julian's son. Fox and Whitney apparently share an as of yet unnamed half-brother. With the revelation about Chad's parentage Chad is Fox's half-uncle.
  • Whitney's sister Simone was once in love with Chad. Simone is now a lesbian.
