Hi im Whitney Russell.i live at 422 swallow lane. i went to school at Harmony High School and i graduated in 2000. Then i want to Harmony Community College,but i dropped out in 2003. i am the goodie-two-shoes eldest daughter of TC and Eve Russell, a tennis coach / gym teacher and a doctor. My dream since i was a small child was to play tennis, which is encouraged by my father, who had dreams of a pro tennis career when younger. My best friend is Theresa Lopez Fitzgerald, and i is fiercely loyal to her. I have gone to bat more than once for Theresa, continually pulling her out of trouble, especially where Ethan Winthrop is concerned. If not for me, Theresa would certainly have been arrested for stalking Ethan. I do my best to emulate my mother, not knowing that Eve isn't exactly the poster child for perfection.
I was content to let tennis rule my life, never dating or getting seriously involved, until Frank Lomax came to town. We were engaged in a pretty serious flirtation that could have become something more, but Frank was the detective hired to expose Ethan's stalker. I couldn't turn my friend in, and Frank eventually faded out of the picture. A blind date my mother set me and Theresa up on with two guys from the hospital, Mark and Gary, turned out to be equally disasterous.
I pretty much gave up on dating until Chad Harris showed up in Harmony. There was just something about the angry young man that appealed to me. Unfortunately, the same thing appealed to my younger sister, Simone. Even though Chad told Simone he loved her, he thought of me. Now that both Eve and T.C. are more approving of Chad, he and i have started spending more time together. But there's a problem...i was still trying to protect my friend Theresa, but Chad has had his blinders removed and is trying to help his friend Ethan -- he thinks that Ethan has a right to know Theresa kept the truth of his paternity from him.
I turned my back on a relationship with Chad after Simone was hit by a car, swearing that as long as Simone was still in love with Chad, i was never going to actively pursue him. Chad gave up on me, and began spending time with a new girl named Kelly. At a party at the Youth Center, i was slipped some drugs by a man hired by Ivy, and i ended up plastering myself all over Chad. T.C. just happened to walk in and find me, topless, all over Chad, and he blew up. Chad has washed his hands of my refusal to even consider dating him and is moving on...but even though i didn't want him, that didn't mean it's okay for someone else to have him!
As time went on, my heart thawed where Chad was concerned. I still wasn't ready to come out into the open as having a relationship with him, but after Theresa was executed for killing Julian, I couldn't deny my feelings any longer, and me and Chad became lovers that night. Unfortunately Simone didn't know the truth about us, but after Theresa 'came back' from the dead, i vowed not to lie anymore...i've seen what it did to Theresa's life, and i don't want my own ending up the same way.
I didn't quite keep my promise. Simone only learned the truth when she found the two of us together. Discovering me with the man who swore he loved her destroyed the previously close relationship the two of us had, and when i announced my engagement to Chad, it destroyed my relationship with my father. Only Eve is still by my side. When i learned that Chad had a bride he never bothered to mention to me, and had actually been married for years both before and after leaving L.A., i told him it was over...just as Chad's furious bride aimed a gun at me and shot me!
I was able to recover from my injuries, but my relationship with Chad suffered a serious blow because of all his years of lying to me. i broke things off and returned to Harmony. After a few weeks, Chad returned home, claiming he put an end to things with Latoya once and for all, but i wasn't sure if i was ready to trust him again. we finally got our relationship back together and were engaged when i learned i was pregnant. Before i could tell Chad, though, we discovered we were half-brother and sister! After realising i was unable to abort the child, i decided to take a page out of Theresa's book and drugged Fox Crane so that i could pretend the child was his -- i didn't want my baby to go through life with the stigma of being an incest baby.
At the last minute, i couldn't go through with drugging Fox, so when we made love we were both fully consenting. Although i finally decided to give my child up for adoption, the cat was soon out of the bag in regards to my pregnancy, and Fox was thrilled. Ivy was not so understanding, and realised that the timing was off. At Ivy's insistence, i went to the hospital where i confessed my problem to Eve, and was surprised when my mother declared that there was no doubt as to the fact that Fox was the father of my child.
I continued with my pregnancy, but when Gwen left town with Theresa and Ethan's daughter, i convinced Fox, who had signed over his power of attorney to me, to go look for them. i gave birth after Fox had left town, and used his power of attorney to give the baby up for adoption. I hoped that a whole new family could adopt the boy and make sure that he never learned his parents were half-brother and half-sister. i was horrified to learn that T.C. and Liz as well as Eve and Julian planned to legally adopt the baby, and devastated to see how hurt Fox was, but determined to do what i thought was best for my child. Unfortunately, the adoptive parent was Chad Harris and he named my son is named Miles Davis Harris.
