Chad Harris

A disgraced music producer from Los Angeles who arrived in Harmony looking for his biological family and found considerably more than he bargained for. He is very close to putting the picture together. He has not yet done so.

Identity: Under Investigation

Present Situation

Chad Harris is, at press time, extremely close to putting the whole picture together regarding his biological parentage. He has not yet done so. The Gazette's correspondent has been covering other developments and acknowledges gaps in the Chad coverage.

He arrived in Harmony from Los Angeles, where he grew up after being placed in foster care at age eight when the Harris family disappeared. He is in a love triangle with sisters Whitney and Simone Russell. He loves Whitney. Dr. Eve Russell is visibly uneasy around him and he cannot work out why.

Background

Chad grew up in Los Angeles believing himself the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harris, who had adopted him from a Boston-area placement. When he was eight, the Harrises disappeared and he entered foster care. He eventually became a record producer. His search for his biological family brought him to Harmony, a town that has a documented pattern of containing exactly the people one is looking for.

The Gazette notes that Chad's situation is one of Harmony's most significant ongoing mysteries and that the answer, when it comes, will affect multiple families simultaneously.

Whitney and Simone

Chad arrived in Harmony and promptly fell into a love triangle with T.C. and Eve Russell's two daughters. Whitney Russell is his primary love interest. Simone Russell is also in love with him and believes her feelings are reciprocated; they are not. T.C. Russell disapproves of Chad's influence on Whitney's tennis career.

Dr. Eve Russell's response to Chad is notably tense in a way that Chad has not yet been able to explain. The Gazette considers this the single most significant piece of character behaviour currently on screen and wishes Chad would notice it more quickly.
