Supermodel Charles Divins replaces Donn Swaby in the role of "Chad Harris," the street-wise man whom Simone and Whitney both have feelings for.
Donn Swaby, the original "Chad," has elected to leave the soap, in hopes of finding a new type of work.
Divins comes to "Passions" at the height of a prestigious modeling career. He has graced the pages of many high fashion and contemporary magazines such as GQ, Gear, Cosmopolitan and Glamour.
Additionally, Divins is known for being prominently featured in many Tommy Hilfiger clothing and accessory ad campaigns. "Passions" will mark Divins' acting premiere.
