Family Ties: The Saga of Chad/Whitney/Simone


The Story
Family takes center stage in the story of Whitney Russell, Simone Russell, and Chad Harris. Chad is a kid from the streets who came to Harmony looking for his birth parents. Once in Harmony, he met the Russell sisters. Simone, the younger sister, was instantly smitten with this handsome, rebellious stranger. Her older sister Whitney, on the other hand, believed Chad was no-good and wanted nothing to do with him. However, before Whitney knew what was happening she found herself attracted to Chad…and Chad felt the same way. Chad has pushed Whitney to admit how she feels, but Whitney remains afraid to open up. And this is only one of many obstacles standing in this couple's way…

Why You Need To Watch Right Now
Chad and Whitney want to be together, but there's a long way to go. Before anything can happen, Whitney has to break down the wall she's built around herself, and finally admit her feelings to Chad. But even if this were to happen, Whitney's family could still keep the two apart. Simone has made it more than clear that she wants Chad for herself. And their mother, Eve, has forbidden either of her daughters from going out with a boy who does not have a proper upbringing. Of course, Chad still hasn't learned who his real parents are…and there is the little matter that Eve gave birth to a child many years ago that she was told died. This is an emotional time bomb waiting to explode…who knows what will happen if Chad comes face to face with his mom and dad! Read on to find out more about all the players in this scintillating story…and make sure to print this out and keep it handy while you watch!

The Key Players...

-Lives in the garage apartment at the Russell house…an apartment which shares a wall with Whitney's room.
-Still hasn't learned who his real parents are, since his search is constantly thwarted.
-Wants Whitney to open up her heart to love (and to him) but is shut down time and time again.

What Chad Wants
-To begin a real relationship with Whitney, whom he has deep feelings for. Unfortunately, he doesn't want to hurt Simone, who believes Chad likes her, in the process.

Whitney Russell: Who Is She?
-Has strong feelings for Chad, but is afraid to admit it…even to herself.
-Beautiful, smart young woman who is on the road to becoming a Champion Tennis Player.

- -Best friend of born-romantic Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald, who is always encouraging Whitney to pursue a relationship with Chad.
-Grew closer to Chad when he saved her life on numerous occasions. But pulled back after trouble-making Kay Bennett (Simone's best friend) told Whitney a lie about Chad to keep the two apart. Now that the truth has come out, regrets taking Kay's word over Chad's.

What Whitney Wants
-To have the courage to tell Chad how she feels. And to hear Chad say he feels the exact same way.

-Younger sister of Whitney, who has always lived in Whitney's "perfect" shadow.
-Believes that Chad loves her, because he mistakenly professed his love for her (instead of Whitney) when he was delirious after an injury.
-Best friend of Kay Bennett. Currently furious with Kay for telling lies about Chad. Kay told the lie to ensure Chad and Whitney were kept apart, so Simone would help Kay get her love, Miguel.

-Recently thrilled when Chad played her a song to express his feelings…but she doesn't know he was really playing the song for Whitney!

The Supporting Players...

-Whitney and Simone's mother. Eve is a respected doctor, whose family believes she is a perfect wife and mother.
-Got pregnant before meeting TC. Believes the baby died after birth.

Miguel. And she will do anything to get him…including tampering with other peoples' lives.
