Harlow To Drop To Recurring Status

Jade Harlow (Jessica Bennett) has opted not to renew her contract with Passions. Harlow will, however, remain with the show - on a recurring basis.

According to a show spokesperson, the role will not be recast because of Harlow's decision to remain on recurring status. Harlow assumed the role of Jessica in the Spring of 2000 after original cast member Mary Elizabeth Winstead asked to be released from her contract.

Harlow's decision not to renew is just the latest in a list of casting changes for the fledgling soap. Here is a breakdown of the major changes having taken place on Passions so far this year.
