 
Name:
Ivy Winthrop
Family Background:
Ivy's father, Harrison, served as governor of the state and then owned and operated Winthrop Marine. Ivy's mother, Helena Revere-Mott-Beaton Winthrop was a Daughter of the American Revolution.
Romantic History:
Wealthy debutante Ivy first laid eyes on blue-collar Sam Bennett when he rescued her from drowning. The two fell madly in love and planned to someday marry. However, while Ivy attended Rutland Women's College, they kept their relationship a secret. Ivy was scared that her powerful father would not approve of their love. She couldn't have been more correct. When Harrison found out about their union, he plotted to separate them. Ivy's father and Alistair Crane schemed to make Ivy think that Sam no longer loved her. Their plan worked and Ivy eventually turned to Julian. When she learned the truth on her wedding night, Ivy went running to Sam and the two made love. On that night, Ethan was conceived. Ivy never got over Sam, and to this day she is determined to get him back in her life.
Spouse:
Ivy lived in a loveless marriage with Julian for over twenty
years.
She was tricked into marrying Julian by her father (who disapproved of
her
relationship with Sam) and by Alistair Crane (who wanted to make the
union
for business reasons.) Ivy's father and Alistair schemed to make Ivy
think
that Sam no longer loved her. Once Ivy began to doubt Sam, Julian began
to
court her. Ivy was overwhelmed by Julian's charm and accepted his
marriage
proposal. It was on her wedding night that she overheard Julian and
Alistair
discussing that the marriage was nothing but a business merger. Since
that
night, Ivy and Julian were married in name only...until Julian filed
for
divorce after learning Ethan was not his son. Now that Julian is
presumed
dead, Ivy is determined to get her hands on her late husband's fortune.
Children:
Ivy's eldest son, Ethan, has always been the apple of her eye. The reason? Ethan is the son of her true love, Sam Bennett, a secret she kept since the day Ethan was conceived. Ivy wanted to raise Ethan with all the wealth and privilege that came along with being a Crane. Of course, Ivy always secretly hoped that someday she, Ethan, and Sam could be a true family. However, Ivy's dreams were shattered when the truth about Ethan's paternity came out in a sleazy tabloid. Both Ethan and Sam denounced Ivy for lying to them. And a bitter, embarrassed Julian immediately filed for divorce. Ivy continues to try to make things right with Ethan. Ivy also has three other children by Julian.
Education:
Attended Rutland Women's College where she was a member of the elite Alpha Alpha Alpha sorority
Occupation:
Ivy has always been a socialite who spends her days
lunching,
serving on charity committees, and of course, shopping in the most
exclusive
stores!
Friends:
Until recently, Ivy's closest friend was Pilar
Lopez-Fitzgerald,
her housekeeper and confidante for years. Pilar even knew the secret of
Ethan's paternity but kept it quiet for Ivy's sake. However, Ivy's
hatred of
Pilar's daughter, Theresa, has made it difficult for Ivy and Pilar to
remain
friends. Rebecca Hotchkiss and Ivy used to be friends...but that was
before
Rebecca manipulated Ivy's husband into proposing to her!
Favorite Song:
Sam and Ivy's "song": "Just the Way You Are" by Billy Joel
Favorite Scent:
Jasmine. Sam used to love when Ivy wore this scent.
Favorite Play:
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" by Edward Albee. George and Martha practically make Julian and Ivy look normal.
Most Prized Possession:
Ethan's birth certificate-especially before his true paternity was revealed.
Favorite Part of the Day:
When she's soaking in the tub where she can
dream away about Sam...
Hidden Talent:
Ivy is actually an excellent swimmer (despite once almost drowning and being rescued by Sam).
Hobbies:
Fighting with Rebecca, trying to bring down Theresa, and
plotting
to break up Sam and Grace.
Personal Motto:
Always go after what you want.
Biggest Regret:
Marrying Julian and not Sam.
If She Had One Wish:
Ethan would always be happy.
Best Qualities:
Feisty, strong, passionate about those she cares about
Worst Qualities:
Selfish, headstrong, and seems to love Ethan more than her other kids!
Greatest Accomplishment:
Raising Ethan to be a fine young man, despite the fact that he grew up under the Crane roof and under the influence of Julian and Alistair.
