Ivy Winthrop Crane played by Kim Johnston Ulrich
Ivy Winthrop grew up in a life of wealth and privilege as the governor’s daughter. As a young woman, Ivy fell deeply in love with Sam Bennett. Unfortunately, her powerful father didn't deem blue-collar Sam a suitable match... so Ivy was manipulated into marrying Julian Crane. For years, Ivy kept a huge secret – her first-born child, Ethan, was not the son of Julian, but the son of her true love, Sam. She was devastated when the truth eventually came out. Ivy never stopped loving Sam and has spent the last several years scheming to win him back. Besides Ethan, Ivy is also a meddling mother to Fox, Fancy and another daughter.
