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. The show wrapped up on August 7, 2008. ==Sam Bennett== :''Unknown actor (January 2008)'' Samuel "Sam" Herbert Bennett〔Full name said on-air by Sam on January 7, 2008〕 is the newborn son of Jessica Bennett and Herbert "Spike" Lester, born sometime on or between August 15, 2007, and January 6, 2008.〔Before resurfacing with baby Samuel on January 7, 2008, Jessica was last seen, still pregnant, on August 14, 2007, meaning that Sam was born at some point between those two dates.〕 Jessica has just left her husband of ten months, Spike, and moved back to her father's home when she discovers that she is pregnant. Though she is thrilled to be expecting, Jessica also realizes that having Spike's child will bind her to her abusive husband, who has also been her pimp When Spike discovers Jessica's pregnancy, he attempts to sell their child, but when Jessica refuses, he abducts her and again forces her into prostitution. Jessica eventually escapes after Vincent Clarkson, masquerading as the Blackmailer, attempts to rape her, but Vincent then orders Spike to dig up all of the dead johns that Jessica has supposedly killed and bury Jessica alive. In her unmarked grave in the woods, Jessica and the unborn baby Sam die of asphyxiation; however, Jessica's sister Kay discovers that Jessica has died and encourages the rescue party to quickly say a prayer for Jessica and Sam, thus allowing Jessica and Sam's spirits to return to their bodies. Upon her rescue, Jessica names Spike as her would-be murderer, and when he is proven to have murdered all of Jessica's johns, he is arrested and sent to jail (he is later released, however, when Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald is forced to delete Spike's criminal record in order to recover his missing son, Marty). After Spike is sent to jail, Jessica leaves Harmony to give birth; she eventually finds refuge off-screen at a convent with her cousin, Charity. There, in either late 2007 or early 2008, Jessica gives birth to her first child, whom she names Samuel after her father and grandfather in the hope that her son will identify with honorable men.〔Jessica tells Sam that she named her son after him ((transcript, January 7, 2008 ))〕 Jessica and Sam return to Harmony on January 7, 2008, when Jessica introduces her father to his namesake. Spike also finds his way into the Bennett home and threatens to kidnap Sam if Jessica does not let him see his son, pointing out that he has Alistair Crane on his side; he also demands that Jessica name the baby after him. Because she has already put "Samuel" on his birth certificate, Jessica reluctantly makes "Herbert" Sam's middle name. As of the series finale, with Alistair Crane dead, Spike's threats were for naught, and his fate is unknown. Jessica resumed her relationship with her former boyfriend Reese Durkee, apparently ending her marriage with the abusive Spike once and for all. ==James Boothe== :''Ryan and Jackson Keane (July 22, 2005—October 2006)'' :''Unknown actor (2005)'' :''Seth Stern (October 26, 2006—April 2007)'' James Boothe is the adopted son of Chris Boothe and Sheridan Crane Boothe. James's biological mother is a woman named Maureen Preston, who had named her son Mark. Sheridan meets Maureen and "Mark" in the park in July 2005 and is drawn to "Mark" and his similarities to her missing son, Marty. The three are together when a tsunami hits, killing Maureen, who, with her last breath, makes Sheridan promise to take care of her son. Sheridan is eventually granted temporary custody of "Mark". Shortly thereafter, photographer Chris Boothe arrives up in town to record the aftermath of the tsunami. When Chris comes across "Mark", he recognizes the boy as his son, James; Chris claims 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 is a lie; Chris has been hired by Sheridan's father, Alistair, to distract Sheridan from her ex-fiancé, Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald, and pretends to be James's biological father. This is eventually revealed to the audience, but not to Sheridan or any other series protagonists. The identity of James' real biological father is unknown. Sheridan and Chris bond while caring for James and eventually become lovers. After Luis dies in Morocco while searching for his son with Sheridan, Marty, Sheridan and Chris leave James in Sheridan's mother Katherine's care and go off to search for Marty themselves. Fearing that one of them might die and leave their respective son an orphan, Sheridan and Chris are married in Hawaii on February 22, 2006, so that James and Marty will have someone to care for them should their remaining parent die. Instead of finding Marty, however, the Boothes find a very-much-alive Luis, leaving Sheridan torn between her new husband and former lover. After discovering that she is expecting Chris's child, however, she decides to remain with Chris and James. Both Chris and Sheridan are devastated when she suffers a miscarriage in July, especially after Marty's supposed death the previous on-screen day. After moving past their initial grief, Chris arranges for Sheridan to legally adopt James. In mid- to late-2006, James witnesses two traumatic events, both involving Spike Lester — he first sees Spike shoot his father, wounding him in the leg, and then sees Spike murder Phyllis, a Crane maid. James sees Spike's face and identifies Spike from behind to his cousin, Fancy, as being the man who had murdered Phyllis, but Spike escapes and is never identified from the front or by name. After Luis begins a relationship with Sheridan's niece, Fancy, Sheridan becomes obsessed with breaking the new couple up, though she makes no effort to end her marriage to Chris. Chris eventually realizes that his wife is still in love with Luis and leaves her in April 2007, taking James with him. When Chris briefly returns to Harmony in August of that year, he mentions that James missed his mother and wishes that Sheridan would call him; Sheridan expresses 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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Children of Passions」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
