Children of Passions

The following are characters from the American soap opera Passions who are notable for being the children of important characters, but are too minor to have their own articles.

James Boothe

Ryan and Jackson Keane (22 July 2005 — 2006)

Seth Stern (2006 — April 2007)

James Boothe (born Mark Preston) is the adoptive son of Chris Boothe and Sheridan Crane Boothe. James' biological mother was a woman named Maureen Preston, who had named her son Mark. Sheridan met Maureen and Mark in the park in July 2005 and was drawn to Mark and his similarities to her missing son, Marty. The three were together when a tsunami hit, [...] Maureen, who, with her last breath, made Sheridan promise to take care of her son. Sheridan was eventually granted temporary custody of Mark. Shortly thereafter, photographer Chris Boothe showed up in town to record the aftermath of the tsunami. He came across Mark and realized that he was his son, James; he claimed that Maureen had been his wife, and when he'd become involved with the mob, she'd left him and taken James, changing his name to Mark. However, this was eventually revealed to be a lie; Chris had been hired by Sheridan's father, Alistair, to distract Sheridan from her ex-fiancé, Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald, and pretended to be James' biological father.

Sheridan and Chris bonded while caring for James, and eventually became lovers. After Luis died in Morocco while searching for his son with Sheridan, Marty, Sheridan and Chris left James in Sheridan's mother Katherine's care and went off to search for Marty. Fearing that one of them might die and leave their respective son an orphan, Sheridan and Chris were married in Hawaii on February 22, 2006, so that James and Marty would have someone to care for them should Sheridan or Chris die. Instead of finding Marty, however, the Boothes found a very-much-alive Luis, leaving Sheridan torn between her new husband and former lover. After discovering that she was expecting Chris's child, however, she decided to remain with Chris and James. Both Chris and Sheridan were devastated when she suffered a miscarriage in July, especially after Marty's supposed death a the previous day. After moving past their initial grief, Chris arranged for Sheridan to legally adopt James.

In mid- to late-2006, James witnessed two traumatic events, both involving Spike Lester - he saw Spike shoot his father, wounding him in the leg, and then he saw Spike [...] Phyllis, a Crane maid. James saw Spike's face and identified Spike from behind to his cousin Fancy, as being the man who had murdered Phyllis, though Spike escaped and was never identified from the front or by name.

After Luis began a relationship with Sheridan's niece, Fancy, Sheridan became obsessed with breaking the new couple up, though she made no effort to end her marriage to Chris. Chris eventually realized that his wife was still in love with Luis in April 2007 and left her, taking James with him. When Chris briefly returned to Harmony in August of that year, he mentioned that James missed his mother and wished that Sheridan would call him; Sheridan expressed guilt at neglecting her son, but has not been seen calling him. Because she adopted him, Sheridan is still technically James's mother, though she does not have custody or contact with him.

Ethan Crane

Sarah and Thomas Buhl (21 June 2002 — 22 August 2002)

Colby and Grayson Button (2 September 2002 — 25 July 2003)

Nicholas Graziano (2003 — 2004)

Field Cate (21 December 2004)

Colton Shires (27 January 2004 — present)

Ethan Lopez-Fitzgerald Crane (born Ethan Martin Crane and formerly known as Ethan Winthrop, Jr.), better known as Little Ethan, is the eldest child of Ethan Winthrop and Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald Crane. He was conceived shortly after midnight on the day that Ethan and Theresa were set to be married in 2001, but the couple's wedding never took place, and Theresa ended up bedding and wedding the man that Ethan had believed to be his father, Julian Crane. Theresa, as a result, believed that Julian had fathered her son, though Ethan played a paternal role in the boy's life nonetheless. Little Ethan was born onscreen on 21 June 2002.

After Ethan's wife, Gwen, and mother-in-law, Rebecca, blamed Theresa for the stillbirth of Ethan and Gwen's daughter, Sarah, the two women cooked up a scheme for Julian, who was preparing to marry Rebecca, to be awarded sole custody of Little Ethan and then allow Ethan and Gwen to adopt the child. The plan worked, and Theresa, desperate to regain custody of her son, knocked out Ethan and Gwen's planned surrogate mother and was implanted with their embryo; Theresa threatened to hold the Winthrops' unborn child hostage unless Ethan and Gwen undid their adoption of Little Ethan and returned him to her. Ethan and Gwen agreed to give Little Ethan back once their child was born, so when Theresa believed that she had miscarried, she drugged and raped Ethan in order to trade their child for Little Ethan. When Theresa discovered that she was pregnant with twins, she realized, as the DNA tests later proved, that one child was Ethan and Gwen's while one child was hers with Ethan. Unable to carry both fetuses to term, Theresa terminated the weaker fetus, and eventually gave birth to her daughter with Ethan, Jane.

Due to their contract, Theresa regained custody of Little Ethan, but Ethan and Gwen filed for and won custody of Jane. In order to win back custody of her daughter, Theresa married the program's primary villain, Alistair Crane, also believed to be Little Ethan's paternal grandfather, in 2005; while signing their pre-nup, Theresa also unknowingly signed papers that allowed Alistair to adopt Little Ethan, renaming him Ethan Lopez-Fitzgerald Crane and making him the heir to the Crane Empire after disinheriting all of his other relatives.

Several months later in Rome, tabloid reporter JT Cornell gave Theresa definitive proof that Ethan, not Julian, had fathered Little Ethan. Theresa, however, decided not to tell Ethan, first fearing that Ethan and Gwen would sue for custody and then, after Ethan and Gwen broke up and Ethan returned to Theresa, fearing that Ethan would hate her for keeping his son from him for so long. By the time Theresa had worked up the nerve to tell Ethan the truth, Ethan's ex-wife, Gwen, had discovered her mother Pilar's deadly, long-buried secret and threatened to reveal it if Theresa told Ethan the truth.

Things became complicated, however, when Ethan and Gwen's infant son, Jonathan, became in dire need of a liver transplant. The boys' sister, Jane, was to donate part of her liver, but an ear infection prevented her from doing so, and there was not enough time for her to heal before doctors expected Jonathan to die. Theresa begged Gwen to let her tell Ethan that Little Ethan, as Jonathan's half-brother, could have been a donor, but Gwen refused. Theresa, therefore, decided to anonymously donate part of Little Ethan's liver, and finally told her son on December 10, 2007, that Ethan is his biological father; Ethan is still unaware that he has two sons, however. Upon learning that Ethan is his biological father, Little Ethan was overjoyed, and agreed to donate part of his liver to his baby half-brother.

After the operation, Little Ethan developed a fever, and doctors began to fear for his life; however, after his mother chose to pray for his life instead of her reunion with Ethan, Little Ethan's fever broke, and he began to respond to the medical treatments on Christmas Eve.

Miles Harris-Crane

Julard Roddy (23 March 2005-2005)

Lauren Bieber (2005 — 2006)

Sinqua Walls & Mekhai Wilson (2006 — September 4 2007)

Miles Davis Harris-Crane (born Miles Davis Harris) is the eldest child of Chad Harris-Crane and Whitney Russell. Whitney had already found out that she was pregnant with Miles, but had not shared the news with anyone, when it was revealed that Chad's biological parents were Julian Crane and Eve Russell, Whitney's mother. To protect herself and her unborn child from the stigma of incest, Whitney began a relationship with Fox Crane and tried to pass the unborn child off as his own. As her due date grew closer, however, Whitney felt more strongly that she could not keep a child born of incest and urged Fox to go search for her best friend Theresa's missing daughter, Jane, convincing him to leave her with his power of attorney. Whitney gave birth to a son on March 23 2005, and quickly used Fox's power of attorney to give the child up for adoption. Fox was devastated to return to Harmony and find that he had lost custody of his newborn child. Though Julian and Eve, along with Whitney's father, TC, tried to adopt the boy, custody was unknowingly awarded to his biological father, Chad Harris. Chad, who was still in love with Whitney despite the fact that she was his half-sister, tried to use "their" son to woo her back; together, they named the baby Miles Davis Harris after the legendary jazz musician of the same name.

When a tsunami struck Harmony, Chad and Whitney ended up once again having incestuous [...]. Whitney admitted to Chad that he was Miles's biological father, which a distraught Fox overheard. Whitney was so upset with herself for having had [...] with Chad again that she jointed a convent and prepared to take holy orders. Eventually, however, it was revealed that Chad's parents were actually Alistair Crane and Liz Sanbourne, Eve's adoptive half-sister, meaning that Chad and Whitney were only adoptive half-cousins and therefore not blood related. Elated, they renewed their relationship and married on December 26, 2006, and became a family with Miles.

Unfortunately, Chad had begun an affair with tabloid reporter Vincent Clarkson, whom Chad was unaware was his half-nephew, while he had believed that he and Whitney were siblings, and found himself unable to stop once he and Whitney were back together. Whitney found out about the affair shortly after revealing that she was once more carrying their child and left her husband. Chad was fatally shot in the chest by his own father, Alistair, on August 28, 2007, and Whitney, devastated, decided to take Miles and move to New Orleans to rebuild her life with her children away from Harmony.

Though Chad and Whitney took on the surname Harris-Crane upon their marriage, it was never definitively stated that Miles adopted that surname as well, though it is logical to assume so. After Chad's death, however, Whitney instructed doctors at the morgue to call her only "Mrs. Harris", so Miles may have reverted to his previous surname, if he ever changed it.

Endora Lenox

Endora Lenox is the only child of powerful witch Tabitha Lenox, the product of a drunken one-night-stand with billionaire Julian Crane. Endora is a very powerful witch, more powerful even than her mother, and while her magical side does give her a bit of a devilish attitude, her father's mortal genes have granted her with the ability to love. As a result, she appears to have a desire to become a good witch, despite the fact that her mother's line has contained only bad witches for numerous generations.

Though Endora's father is Julian Crane, only Julian, Tabitha, Ivy Winthrop, Kay Bennett Crane, and Endora herself know of her true paternity. Though Endora has a fondness for her father, she used her magic to hurt him when he tried to sue for partial custody of her. Endora was also quite fond of her late half-brother, Fox, and shows some affection for her half-sister, Fancy, whose baby pictures Endora greatly resembles.

Endora's fondness for good often clashes with her mother's plans for evil; Endora frequently foiled her mother's plots to push Miguel and Kay together, wanting Fox to be happy with Kay. Eventually, Tabitha was forced to accept her daughter's good disposition and remove her from Julian's elite Paul Revere Preschool and enroll her in her archnemisis Esmerelda's Good Witch School.

After failing to do evil for some time, the Boys in the Basement kidnapped Endora on September 7, 2007, also taking Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald when he tried to rescue her. The Boys promised to return Endora once Tabitha returned to doing evil; Endora returned to Tabitha briefly, but when Tabitha mentioned ending her bad works with Endora back, the dark forces quickly took Endora back. After Tabitha's deceased doll-turned-real-boy, Timmy, appeared to Tabitha and told her that doing evil would not bring Endora and Miguel back, Tabitha decided on Christmas Eve to try good deeds to reclaim her daughter, assisting in the reunion of Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald and Fancy Crane. After her act, Endora and Miguel magically reappeared in Tabitha's kitchen.

Maria Lopez-Fitzgerald

Maria Ivy Lopez-Fitzgerald is the only child and daughter of Kay Bennett Crane and Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald. Kay had been in love with Miguel since she was a child and was devastated when Miguel fell in love with her cousin, Charity. Kay used magic to make Miguel believe that she was Charity, and he had [...] with her, conceiving Maria.

Miguel promised to stand by his unborn child, but he refused to end his relationship with Charity. Kay and Miguel's daughter was born several months premature on July 21 2003, the same on-screen day as Endora Lenox. Maria's lungs were underdeveloped, and would have died had Charity not made a deal with Death to stay away from Miguel in exchange for his daughter's life. Maria lived, and Kay decided to name her daughter Maria, for Miguel's maternal grandmother, Maria Lopez, and Ivy for her mother Grace Bennett's archnemesis, Ivy Winthrop.

Unable to stay away from Miguel, Charity left town in July 2004, followed, to Kay's dismay, by Miguel, who went to search for his missing girlfriend. Kay was left injured and infertile after being speared with a piece of rebar and a young, single mother to Maria. Kay worked in the Crane Cannery to provide for herself and her child, though she eventually fell in love with and married the wealthy Fox Crane, who gave her a job as his assistant at Crane Industries. Fox was a loving stepfather to Maria, treating her as his own child, and Maria adored her stepfather.

However, shortly after Fox and Kay became engaged, Miguel returned to town and realized that he'd been in love with Kay all along. Initially torn, Kay soon decided that it was Miguel that she wanted to be with. Separated for a while by Kay's devotion to Fox while she thought that he was dying and Miguel's incarceration for Fox's attempted [...], the truth was eventually revealed and Kay left Fox, moving on with Miguel. Fox's death on September 17, 2007, left Kay a wealthy widow; however, that same day in Harmony, September 7, Miguel was kidnapped by the Boys in the Basement as he tried to save Endora from being kidnapped; he was returned from Hell on Christmas Eve, 2007.

Marty Lopez-Fitzgerald

Martin "Marty" Lopez-Fitzgerald is the only child and son of Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald and Sheridan Crane. He was conceived while his mother was still married to Luis's brother, Antonio Lopez-Fitzgerald; though there was initially some doubt regarding Marty's paternity, it was eventually decided without the use of DNA testing that Marty was Luis's son. While still pregnant, Luis's ex-girlfriend Beth Wallace kidnapped Sheridan and held her captive in a pit in her basement, hoping to kidnap Sheridan's child and pass him off as her own child with Luis. Beth succeeded in making Luis and Sheridan believe that their child had drowned and that Marty, whom she named for Luis's father, was her child.

Sheridan was always suspicious of Beth, however, feeling a strong connection to Marty. She convinced Luis to run DNA tests on Marty to see if she or Beth were Marty's mother, and was shocked when results came back proving Beth to be Marty's biological mother. However, a second batch of tests run a month later showed that Sheridan was Marty's mother; the first tests had only tested for kinship, and it was revealed that Beth and Sheridan shared the same father, Alistair Crane. However, when Beth realized that Luis and Sheridan knew that Marty was Sheridan's son, she took the child and fled with Alistair's help. Sheridan, furious with Luis for not believing her earlier, ordered that he leave Harmony, chase Beth down, and bring her child back to her.

Luis eventually caught up with Beth and Marty in Rome; however, on July 17, 2006, Marty was presumed deceased, along with Alistair and Beth, when a drone plane fired missiles at the train he was traveling in, causing the vehicle to crash into a ravine below. However, over a year later in September 2007, Spike Lester told Sheridan that Marty was alive, showing her live video footage of Marty in a play room. Luis and Sheridan set out to recover their son, believing him to be somewhere in Harmony, but their efforts to find their son were constantly thwarted by bad timing and Alistair. After three months of fruitless searching, Alistair returned Marty to Sheridan's cottage on Christmas Eve, reuniting the two as mother and son for the first time since his birth. The little boy was thrilled to be reunited with his parents and happy to meet two of his maternal cousins, Fancy and Pretty Crane. Despite disturbing child-drawn pictures that Luis and Sheridan had found, fearing that Marty had been the artist and was in emotional pain while in Alistair's control, he claimed that his grandfather had not harmed him, and that a trip to the hospital in Portsmouth had been for a bone broken while playing football with one of his bodyguards.

Jane Winthrop

Jane Winthrop is the youngest child and daughter of Ethan Winthrop and Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald. Desperate to regain custody of her son, Little Ethan, who had been adopted by Ethan and his wife Gwen, Theresa replaced their planned surrogate and was implanted with their embryo. Shortly thereafter, Theresa feared that she had suffered a miscarriage and therefore had lost her way to win Little Ethan back, so she drugged and raped Ethan, conceiving his child.

In August 2004, Theresa discovered that she was carrying twins - one that was Ethan and Gwen's child, and one that was hers with Ethan. By November, it had become clear that Theresa could not carry both children to term, and was forced to abort the fetus with the lowest chance of survival. When she gave birth to a baby girl fourteen weeks early in December, Theresa was unsure as to whether she or Gwen was the mother; a DNA test at the end of the month proved that Theresa, not Gwen, was the girl's mother; the aborted boy, whom Ethan and Gwen had planned to name Nathan, had been the Winthrops' child.

Gwen, whose daughter Sarah had been stillborn the previous year and had found herself unable to have any more children, was devastated to learn that she had lost her last chance to be a mother. When Dr. Russell gave Gwen a sedative to calm her nerves, the medication interacted with some other medication she had taken, causing her to have a psychotic break. Gwen stabbed Theresa in the back with a scalpel, briefly paralyzing Theresa, and was jailed. Ethan and Theresa were able to take their premature daughter home in January; Theresa chose to name her Jane after her favorite book, Jane Eyre — Theresa identified as Jane in a situation where Ethan was Edward Rochester and Gwen his crazy wife, Bertha Mason.

Jane spiked a fever and was forced to return to the hospital; at the same time, Gwen sensed that "her baby" was sick and slit her wrists so that she could return to the hospital. There, she kidnapped Jane, renamed her Ashley, the name that she and Ethan had chosen, and fled, boarding one of the Cranes' private jets. Unfortunately for both Gwen and Jane, the plane was carrying Alistair's wife, Katherine Crane, to a remote compound, where the three would be held captive. Fox Crane, Ethan, and Theresa rescued the three women in February, and they returned to Harmony, where Ethan agreed that he and Gwen would not sue for custody of Jane if Theresa refrained from pressing charges against Gwen for attempted [...].

Theresa, however, feared that Gwen and her mother, Rebecca, would retaliate first, so she pressed charges against Gwen for attempted [...]. Ethan was furious and successfully defended his wife, proving that she had acted under the influence of medications that had interacted badly. At the same trial, Ethan successfully lobbied for full, albeit temporary, custody of Jane. Theresa was devastated and vowed to get her daughter back; to achieve her goal, she agreed to marry the program's main villain, Alistair Crane, who promised to help her win back Ethan and Jane. His promises were unsurprisingly false, and Theresa's only perk was that she, too, was able to live in the Crane mansion, where Ethan and Gwen lived with Jane.

After Alistair fell into a coma, Theresa made ploys for several months to break up Ethan and Gwen and win back Ethan and Jane; she prevented the Winthrops from moving to India and arranged for Gwen to find a job with an employer that she controlled, forcing Gwen's employer to keep her late at night away from Ethan and Jane. Theresa's bids stopped once she found out that Little Ethan was really Ethan's son; fearful that Ethan and Gwen would seize custody of her son, too, she lied to them about his true paternity and largely dropped all efforts to win back Ethan and Jane. As a result, Gwen was Jane's mother for the first two years of her life; after Gwen found Ethan and Theresa in bed together early in 2007, Gwen left town and filed for divorce, despite the fact that doing so would mean that she would lose custody of Jane. Jane now lives with Ethan, Theresa, and Little Ethan.

Late in 2007, Ethan and Gwen's newborn son, Jonathan, was in dire need of a partial liver transplant, and Jane, as his older half-sister, was quickly tested and found to be a match. Despite being just shy of three years old, the doctors were confident that the procedure would not adversely affect her health in the future. Jane was ready to go into surgery when it was discovered that she had an ear infection; as a result, she was unable to be Jonathan's donor.

Jonathan Winthrop

Jonathan Winthrop is the son and only living child of Ethan Winthrop and Gwen Hotchkiss. Gwen was unaware that she was already several months pregnant when she left her husband, Ethan, after finding him in bed with his ex-fiancée and constant love-interest, Theresa Crane, and moved away from Harmony. Though she had experienced symptoms of pregnancy, she was not suspcious — she believed that she was barren after the stillbirth of her daughter, Sarah, three years previously.

Gwen was already in her second trimester when she discovered that she was pregnant. She decided not to tell anyone of her pregnancy, however, fearing that Ethan, among others, would believe that she was using her pregnancy to win him back. Gwen gave birth to a son on May 11, 2007; she returned to Harmony a month later in order to finalize her divorce.

After Ethan was poisioned and fell into a coma, Gwen realized that she was still in love with him and regretted their divorce. Gwen anxiously waited for Ethan to emerge from his coma, but was called away with news that Jonathan was ill. Once he had recovered, she returned to Harmony with him and introduced Ethan to his son — Theresa had just told Ethan that he had a son, but was referring to their child, Little Ethan, instead of Jonathan, as Ethan assumed.

Ethan and Gwen bonded over their son, naming him Jonathan after his maternal grandfather. However, numerous characters began to question Jonathan's health — both Ethan and Rebecca commented that Jonathan slept too much, and Ethan and an ICU nurse observed that Jonathan looked a bit strange at one point. When Jonathan spiked a fever of 105°, Ethan and Theresa rushed him to the hospital, despite Gwen's denial-induced insistence that he was fine. At the hospital, Vincent Clarkson changed the dosage of medicine that Dr. Russell had prescribed for Jonathan, hoping that Jonathan would die and the medical review board would assume that Eve had prescribed the wrong dosage while under the influence of alcohol.

Jonathan received a dosage far too high for an infant and barely clung to life; doctors insisted that he needed a special treatment, but Gwen refused to authorize it, insisting that Jonathan would be fine and refusing to let the doctors who had nearly killed her son treat him any longer. Ethan found himself unable to authorize the treatment because Gwen had not listed him as Jonathan's father on the birth certificate, but he was finally able to understand that Gwen's reluctance came from denial and fear that Jonathan would die as Sarah had. Gwen authorized the treatment in just enough time to save her baby.

Jonathan was still ill, however; doctors now reported that he was in liver failure and was in dire need of a liver transplant; only a close blood relative stood a decent chance of being a match for donation. Neither Ethan nor Gwen, nor his parents or her father (due to Rebecca's excessive drinking, her liver was not considered), were a match, leaving only Ethan's nearly three-year-old daughter, Jane, as a possible donor. Due to Jane's young age, however, doctors were reluctant to allow her to serve as a donor, Theresa begged Gwen to allow her to tell Ethan that her son, eleven-year-old Little Ethan, was also his son and thereby also a possible and more suitable donor. Gwen refused, however, and when Jane was found to be a match, and doctors were sure that the procedure would not adversely affect her health, Ethan and Theresa agreed to let Jane serve as Jonathan's donor.

When Jane was taken in to the operation room, however, it was discovered that she was suffering from an ear infection and could therefore not be a donor; doctors insisted that Jonathan did not have enough time to wait for Jane to heal, so an extensive search through all of Ethan and Gwen's extended family for a possible donor began. However, none of Gwen's family, nor any of Ethan's siblings or their children, were a match. Theresa insisted to Gwen that Little Ethan was Jonathan's only hope, but Gwen remained in denial, believing that holistic treatments could save her son. Unable to watch an innocent infant die, Theresa told Little Ethan that Ethan was his father and, after gaining Little Ethan's approval, had Little Ethan become an anonymous donor for Jonathan. After initially fearing that Jonathan would reject Little Ethan's liver, doctors announced that they expected Jonathan to make a full recovery on Christmas Eve.

Sarah Winthrop

Sarah Winthrop was the only daughter and firstborn child of Ethan Winthrop and Gwen Hotchkiss. Ethan was prepared to propose to his former fiancée, Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald Crane, when Gwen Hotchkiss revealed that she was pregnant with his child. She insisted that he not propose to her only because she was pregnant, explaining that she would move to New York City and raise their child on her own. After careful deliberation, Ethan proposed to Gwen, who accepted, much to Theresa's dismay.

Gwen's pregnancy was difficult, however, and she and Ethan decided to fly to Los Angeles mid-year 2003 so that she could be under the care of a specialist, Dr. Abel, and so that she could gain some distance from Theresa. However, Theresa also decided to spend her summer in Los Angeles with friends Chad Harris and Whitney Russell, hoping to give Ethan and Gwen some space. While Gwen lay on bedrest in the hospital, Ethan found himself drawn to Theresa, and, while drunk, made out with Theresa on the beach.

At the hospital, Gwen was watching TV when, during a news report, she saw Ethan and Theresa on the beach. Furious, Gwen left the hospital and returned to the Cranes' apartment complex, convincing herself along the way that she had seen wrong and that she would talk things out with Ethan and return to the hospital. However, upon arriving at the apartment, she found Theresa, who she had not known was in Los Angeles. The two wound up in a physical altercation that led to Gwen falling and becoming unconscious.

Gwen was rushed back to the hospital, where Ethan was given the choice between saving his wife or his unborn child. Despite Theresa's insistence that he save his baby, Ethan chose to save Gwen. Though Gwen lived, their daughter was stillborn. When Gwen awoke, she was devastated, and they had their baby posthumously baptized as Sarah.

Gwen resolved to leave Ethan after Sarah's death, but after he swore on their daughter's grave to never leave her for Theresa again, Gwen agreed to take him back. As retaliation for Sarah's death, Gwen's mother, Rebecca, arranged for Gwen and Ethan to adopt Theresa's son, Little Ethan. Sarah's death was a driving force for several storylines throughout the remainder of 2003 and through 2004 and 2005; ramifications are still felt in present storylines. After Sarah's death and Ethan and Gwen's adoption of Little Ethan, the couple tried to use a surrogate to carry their child; Theresa, however, replaced their surrogate in an attempt to use Ethan and Gwen's child to trade for Little Ethan. Through a series of events, however, Theresa became pregnant with both Ethan and Gwen's son and her own daughter with Ethan; Theresa was later forced to terminate one fetus to save the other, and Ethan and Gwen's son did not survive. Gwen was devastated to have lost her last chance at having a biological child, and she and Ethan sued and won custody of Ethan and Theresa's daughter, Jane; Theresa and Gwen fought over custody of Jane for more than a year. Theresa also fought to win Ethan back, but Ethan refused to leave his wife largely out of guilt for his role in Sarah's death. Gwen's denial over her son Jonathan's illness also stems from her inability to accept the fact that she could lose another child like she lost Sarah.

Sarah was buried in Harmony.
