Jessica Bennett is a fictional character from the American soap opera Passions created by head writer James E. Reilly. Jessica's character was played by three different actresses during the show's run: Mary Elizabeth Winstead (July 5, 1999, to March 28, 2000), Jade Harlow (June 5, 2000, to July 8, 2003), and Danica Stewart (July 10, 2003, to July 17, 2008). She was also played by model Michelle Holgate for two episodes in 2002 when Harlow was unavailable. Jessica is a member of the Bennett family. Storylines Mary Elizabeth Winstead (1999–2000) Jessica was a quiet, seemingly perfect daughter. She was very close to her mother, working part-time in her mother's craft shop, even though she was only fourteen when the show started. While she loved her sister Kay, the two had an adversarial relationship, mostly because she knew that Kay was always scheming. When push came to shove, though, she was there for Kay, refusing to tell their parents that Kay knew Faith was Grace's sister for weeks before the rest of them found out the truth, and that Kay's schemes to get Miguel are the real reason that Faith and Grace never met. In part because she sees their love for each other, and in part to foil her scheming sibling, Jessica has always been a strong supporter of Charity and Miguel's relationship. Jade Harlow (2000–2003) Jessica's first major act on her own was to switch the voting box at the prom, which Kay had rigged to make sure Miguel was crowned king and she was crowned queen. She was in the background for a long period of time, but became more involved in Kay's plans to get to Miguel, motivated by her own secret crush on Miguel. Unfortunately for Jessica, Reese can only see one woman. Her older sister Kay. As the youngest character on the show, Jessica is the only one still in high-school. Jessica's faith in her family was shaken by the recent appearance of David and John, but she is determined to support her mother, and help her new brother John acclimate to life with siblings. Although she suspects David is up to no good, she has no idea that John isn't her brother. During this time, Jessica is stuck in the middle of the war between her sister, Kay, their parents, Miguel, and Charity. Jessica was the one who found Kay in Miguel's bed, and
