Passions What If Storyline

She's back! When Cracked Connie goes on a little tour of the Crane mansion, she stumbles upon Hecuba's lair. Once in the lair, Hecuba herself appears to Connie! Tabitha's nemesis makes the duplicitous doll a deal-if she helps Hecuba get out of the bottle she's been trapped in, then Hecuba will help Cracked Connie wreak havoc upon the citizens of Harmony! The twisted witch presents Connie with a vial of green fog that she promises will cause major pain. Much to Tabitha's dismay, Connie unleashes the green fog...and the threesome sit back to watch the fireworks.
So what effect does Hecuba's fearsome fog have upon the unsuspecting folks of Harmony? As the wily witch herself explains, it makes the victims see what their lives might have been like had they made different choices or taken different paths. In a nutshell, it makes everyone in town ask themselves that tricky question, "What If?" But here's the kicker-these visions will have a lasting effect. In fact, they will linger in each victim's head and plant seeds of doubt...that will ultimately lead to major trouble for the couples of Harmony!
Now you can witness these fantasies unfold, just like Hecuba, Connie, and Tabitha did! Click on a character's name to get the scoop on what each person saw...as well as a surprising memento of what "might have been."

But Ivy is perfectly content in her role as Sam's wife. In fact, she has quite a knack for cutting coupons, baking casseroles, and making flyers for the policeman's ball!

And that's not all-Ivy even makes a mean tomato soup cake! Ethan is also part of Ivy and Sam's vision. He has followed in his father's footsteps and has also become a member of the Harmony Police Department, much to the delight of his proud parents. In the vision, the three make up a truly ideal family.

In the vision which Eve and Julian share, they are married and living in New York.

In Beth and her mother's fantasy, Beth is the embodiment of an old maid. She is passing the hours by reading a bridal magazine (which she will clearly never need!), eating junk food, and throwing back drinks!
