From 1999 – 2007, daytime soap fans enjoyed a daily escape to the fictional New England town of Harmony, where things were often anything but harmonious. From love triangles to tragedies to witches and a real-life doll named Timmy, Passions was quite a thrilling soap.
Many of the actors from the show kept in touch after things wrapped up, remaining friends for years to come. One of the longest-running friendships is that of Rodney Van Johnson and James Hyde, who played T.C. Russell and Sam Bennett, respectively. Not only are these two still close friends, but they’ve both recently re-entered the world of soap opera work.
