Jane Winthrop

Jane Winthrop is a fictional character on NBC's daytime drama Passions. Jane was played by Caleb and Jonah Gilpin from February 2005 until sometime during the summer of that same year; she has now been played by Kacey Malmsten since approximately September of 2005.

Character history

Theresa had drugged and kidnapped intended-surrogate Heather Downs and impersonated her in order to be implanted with Gwen and Ethan's fertilized embryo, and after she thought that she lost the baby, she slipped a drunken Ethan a date-rape drug in the hopes that she would become pregnant. Theresa eventually learned that she was carrying twins, but when her uterus proved too small to be able to carry both children, Theresa took the medical advice of the doctors and had the weaker child aborted (which, had he lived, Ethan and Gwen had planned to name Nathan).

After the baby girl was born, Theresa shocked Gwen (who believed she was the child's biological mother) with the news that the child might be hers, and that she had no intent on giving her up no matter who the mother was. DNA tests were performed on the newborn to establish both paternity and maternity, and Ethan and Theresa were confirmed to be the biological of Jane. Ethan's intent was to sue Theresa for custody of Jane, but after Gwen kidnapped Jane and stabbed Theresa, Ethan offered to let Theresa have the baby if she would stop the war with Gwen and not press charges.

After she pressed charges and Ethan realised it was because she was hoping that he would leave Gwen for her, Ethan went ahead with his original plans to sue for custody of his daughter. Gwen was acquitted in court after Eve testified to the court that her break from reality had been brought on by drug interactions and that Gwen could not be held responsible for her actions, and the judge awarded temporary custody to Gwen and Ethan, in part due to her concern over how Jane was conceived. Gwen and Ethan later had Theresa stripped of visitation rights and made plans to move out of the country with Jane, which Theresa foiled by again blackballing Ethan career-wise.
