Chad Harris-Crane is a
fictional character on the American
soap opera
Passions, which aired on
NBC from 1999 to 2007 and on
DirecTV in 2007–08. Developed by the soap's creator and
head writer
James E. Reilly, Chad was portrayed by
Donn Swaby (1999 to 2002) and
Charles Divins (2002 to 2007). The son of the evil patriarch
Alistair Crane of the
Crane family, Chad becomes involved in a love triangle with the sisters
Whitney and
Simone Russell. He is initially believed to be Whitney's half-brother, but is revealed to be her adoptive cousin. His later storylines focus on his confusion over his
sexual identity; his relationship with tabloid reporter
Vincent Clarkson includes a depiction of the two men having sex, the first such scene in any daytime soap opera. Chad attempts to reconcile with Whitney before being killed by Alistair. Critical response to Chad was mixed; some reviewers praised the handling of the incest storyline and the representation of
LGBT characters of color on daytime television, while others criticized his relationship with Vincent as an irresponsible representation of racial and sexual identity. (

The Umbrellas is an oil painting on canvas by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, painted in two phases in the 1880s. It depicts a busy street scene in Paris, with most of the people depicted using umbrellas against the rain. The principal female figure to the left of the frame, modelled by Renoir's lover and frequent subject Suzanne Valadon, holds up her skirt against the mud and water on the road as she carries a hatbox, but has no hat, raincoat or umbrella. The painting is owned by the National Gallery in London as part of the Lane Bequest. Painting: Pierre-Auguste Renoir
