High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Bennett family is a middle class family of Irish descent living in the fictional town of Harmony on NBC`s daytime drama Passions. The Bennetts were on the ruthless Alistair Crane`s bad side for years, but they earned Alistair`s full wrath in the summer of 2005 when Alistair`s granddaughter, Fancy, complained to her grandfather about Sam`s son, Noah, incensing the Crane patriarch. As a result, Sam was fired from his position as chief of police, a move which divided the Cranes and Bennetts and threw the police force into turmoil. After Alistair fell into a coma in 2006, his wife, Theresa, reinstated Sam as police chief; once Fancy and Noah broke up, the brunt of the vendetta ended.
