Following the soap opera's cancellation, Vincent's arc was frequently cited as one of its most outrageous storylines. Ira Madison III of "BuzzFeed" noted the similarities between Vincent and "Pretty Little Liars"' Charlotte DiLaurentis, who was revealed to be a transgender woman who dated her own brother and operated under the disguise A. The reveal that Vincent was the "Blackmailer", Eve and Julian's son, and Valerie was cited as one of "Passions"' biggest twists by a writer from "Soap Opera Digest". Joel McHale from E!'s weekly television series "The Soup" turned a scene in which Chad insisted he was "not gay" despite his affair with Vincent into a running gag by referring to the character as "Not Gay Chad". During the show's season five premiere, Divins made a cameo appearance on "The Soup" to explain that he was not his character and was neither gay nor having sex with transsexuals.
