Jared Casey is a fictional character from the NBC/DirecTV soap opera, Passions, portrayed by James Stevenson from July 21, 2006 to July 23, 2007.
Little is known about Jared's past. It is believed he spent some portion of his childhood in Mexico, near where Paloma Lopez-Fitzgerald grew up; he has mentioned living in various other locations around the world, including in Chicago, where he says he had an early job as a janitor, as well as doing business in Hawaii and living in France.
Most notably, Jared's past includes a tragic love story; on one of their first dates, he told Theresa Crane that, years ago, he'd loved and lost a woman named Arabella, whom he'd met on holiday in Provence and lived with in Paris. When Theresa volunteered the Crane resources to help him find Arabella, he claimed that Arabella had died, and we have since learned that he was part of a love triangle with her, with Jared strongly implying Arabella wasn't, in some sense, free to love him.
Jared apparently came to Harmony to interview for the position as Head Legal Counsel at Crane Industries, a position which Theresa had originally earmarked for her long-time flame Ethan Winthrop and which the well-qualified Jared (who possesses an M.B.A. as well as a law degree) was promptly offered — but not without some early confusion on his part regarding Theresa's identity.
When Theresa and Jared first met, he had no idea she was CEO of the organization he'd come to work for; he knew her only as a rude woman who spilled her beverage on him at Harmony's Blue Note Night Club, where the pair first verbally sparred, and later danced as part of Theresa's effort to irritate her rival, Gwen Winthrop, by making Gwen's husband, Ethan, jealous.
