Should DAYS Bring McKenzie Westmore On as a Love Interest for Galen Gering, Thus Reuniting Sheridan and Luis From ‘Passions’?
While promoting her new Hallmark Channel movie, Love in the Clouds, which premieres this week on May 10th at 8/7c, McKenzie Westmore reminisced on her time on the NBC soap opera, Passions as leading lady Sheridan Crane.
Westmore played Crane from 1999-2008 and in story was madly in love with Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald, played by current Days of our Lives long-running leading man, Galen Gering (Rafe Hernandez). When Passions was canceled by NBC in 2007, it was then shortly resurrected on DirecTV’s The 101 Network from 2007 to 2008, before its final demise.
Speaking with Swoon on her recent projects including: her skincare line Westmore Beauty which was used on the actors in Love in the Clouds, McKenzie mentions one regret from her time on Passions, and that is not getting a chance following the demise of the show, to work again with Galen Gering.

McKenzie expressed. “Because Passions didn’t end well for the fans, I would love to see Luis and Sheridan come back in some sort of way, so we have a little Shuis connection.”
Would Shuis fans want to see DAYS Rafe, who’s relationship with Jada (Elia Cantu) recently went bust, find a romance with a new character played by Westmore, if she could come to Salem? Interestingly, before Passions, McKenzie was on Days of our Lives as an under-five named Mindy back in October of 1998.
Returning to DAYS, now with a more substantive role might be an a fun twist for Shuis fans. Westmore would like a crack at it, stating, “Obviously, it’s different characters, but I would love to give back to the fans and have a Sheridan-Luis reunion. Let’s make it happen, Passions fans!”
