David Bailey portrays Alistair Crane, the rich, powerful and arrogant patriarch of Harmony's wealthiest family. The character of Alistair Crane has been a mystery to viewers since Passions' inception in July 1999. Playing the characters of Harmony like puppets on his string, Alistair has always been heard, but not seen. This all changes in the Fall of 2004 when Alistair's ultimate betrayer, his long thought-dead wife Katherine, returns to Harmony to confront her murderous husband!
