Y&R Casts Passions Actress
If you’re a long time soap opera fan, then you will recognize Jade Harlow from her time on the now canceled daytime show ‘Passions.’
NBC canceled Passions in 2007, but right before the show went off the air Jade Harlow arrived as a recast. Harlow played the part of Jessica Bennett from 2000-2003.
In 2010 she joined the cast of The Bay as fan fave Lianna Ramos. After appearing on The Bay for nearly a decade she won two Daytime Emmy Awards for her performances.
Who Is Maeve Kirkland
According to The Young and the Restless spoilers, Harlow has been cast to play the part of Maeve Kirkland.
The new character is set to arrive in Genoa City in August 2026, and it sounds like she will be stirring up some drama on the soap.
Per a new report from Michael Fairman, “Marie is someone with a complicated past looking to make a fresh start in Genoa City. Viewers can look for Maeve’s first appearance next month on the Monday, August 10 episode.”
Usually when someone with a “complicated past” arrives on Young & Restless, their complicated past follows them to town.
Of course, there’s also the chance that Maeve Kirkland HAS a complicated past with someone in Genoa City. Regardless, we will find out more when Jade Harlow debuts next month.
