Ariella Maxwell- Young at 26
Ariella got everything she wanted in life and more. She grew up to become a successful actress and writer for children's books. She also got to marry her Prince Charming. Finally after all their ups and downs, they went to college together and didn't hesitate to start a family. First came along little Indiana then Jake Jr then Bella and number four is on the way. Despite her hectic work schedule, Ariella is all about family and had decided to use her tv show hiatus to come back to Carmel where it all began. Her parents still reside there and she has found a nice little beach house for the big family that includes her dogs Pongo and Perdita and her three cats, Marie, Toulouse and Berlioz. Despite the tv show being filmed in Los Angeles, Ariella is quite keen on staying in Carmel, a place she holds deep in her heart. Despite the picture perfect life Ariella hasn't quite grown up. A few years ago scandals hit her hard, rumors of her cheating on Jake with her co-star were big and they brought her to her worst enemies and sometimes best friends pills. That quickly hit the fan and rumors of her using drugs were big. Despite her immense success she was still a young child who hadn't even reached her thirties and had never really led the wild life. A lot of her loved ones were afraid she would have an early mid-life crisis complete with drugs and a lover. Despite every tabloid Ariella swore she hadn't kissed another man since she was 16 and she wasn't abusing drugs or addicted. She loved her family more than anything and that's her main motive for going back to Carmel. She wants to prove to people that nothing is wrong with her and Jake and their family is better than ever.
