The two engaged in a pretty serious flirtation that could have become something more, but Frank was the detective hired to expose Ethan's stalker. Whitney was content to let tennis rule her life, never dating or getting seriously involved, until Frank Lomax came to town. She does her best to emulate her mother, not knowing that Eve isn't exactly the poster child for perfection. If not for Whitney, Theresa would certainly have been arrested for stalking Ethan. She has gone to bat more than once for Theresa, continually pulling her out of trouble, especially where Ethan Winthrop is concerned. Her best friend is Theresa Lopez Fitzgerald, and she is fiercely loyal to her.

Her dream since she was a small child was to play tennis, which is encouraged by her father, who had dreams of a pro tennis career when younger. Whitney is the goody two-shoes eldest daughter of TC and Eve Russell, a tennis coach / gym teacher and a doctor.
