Romance, lies, jealousy, secrets, surprises, tension, suspense,
intrigue, treachery, comedy, families, marriagies, sibling rivalry,
life, death, crime, and evil of both the supernatural and the very
natural kind. Welcome to Harmony, the picturesque New England town where
Passions comes to life.
On the surface, Harmony looks like a poster town for New England
tourism but every small town has secrets bubbling underneath. When you
look beyond the steeple churches and white picket fences of Harmony,
those secrets will be revealed. Based on the rich history and mystery of
this New England harbor town, Passions explores the lives, loves, and
losses of four core families: the Cranes, the Lopez-Fitzgeralds, the
Bennetts, and the Russells, each of whom have their own distinct and
diverse family members.
Passions is the creation of daytime drama veteran James E. Reilly,
who is considered by many, one of the most well-known, innovative and
prolific writers of our day.
