NAME: Bailey McCormick - FC: Tatiana Maslany - AGE: 28

OCCUPATION: Drug Runner - SEXUALITY: Straight

Past:

Growing up in the McCormick household was hard for the youngest child, Bailey. She was jokingly referred to as an oops baby the first part of her life but after the tragic loss of her mother that joke no longer felt funny. When Monica McCormick was killed in a robbery, her husband James was left with the substantial task of raising their two children on his own. As if that man had not already been cynical he felt responsible for Monica’s death to some degree after forcing the woman to go back to work after Bailey was born.

The young girl struggled in the house with just her father and older brother. Will was an amazing big brother, making sure she was taken care of before and after school since James worked for the Detroit police department. Even though the man worked a desk job he was gone long hours at a time putting that heavy burden on his son some days. Nevertheless, Will loved his little sister and saw a great deal of their mother in her. He knew Monica would want her daughter to grow up happy and healthy so the boy did everything he could to see that happen. Not only did he make sure she was brushing her hair and teeth before and after school but he tutored her so her grades stayed high. That seemed to be the only focus James McCormick had at that point – get an education so he didn’t have to continue to take care of the children.

Will stayed at home through college and helped pay bills, taking some of that stress off his father and he needed to make sure Bailey was still being treated right. With work and school though his time became more and more precious and by time he was ready to graduate Will was only at the house a few hours at a time. The summer in between 8th and 9th grade Bailey would meet a handsome young man named Sean Flannigan. Sean wasn’t too much older than Bailey but his story struck a chord with her since she struggled to see eye to eye with her father. Sean wanted nothing more than to run away and easily convinced the young girl to leave with him. Even though she loved her brother he would be graduating college soon and Bailey felt a pull away from him thinking he needed to finally have his own life. That and she was sure she was in love with Sean.

The night Will was to graduate James and Bailey would fight. He told her she was too young to have a boyfriend and that she needed to focus on her schooling so she would be able to go to college and while that may have been good and true advice that man lacked all ability to communicate with his only daughter. Without another thought Bailey packed a bag, leaving with Sean. The only thing she asked is that she could watch Will cross the stage – hiding in the background she saw her brother get his degree and the two disappeared to sunny Southern California where Sean had a carefree, fun-loving aunt who cared less if they were in school.

Life went from what she thought was bad to what she knew was bad as Sean slowly fell in to the destructive lifestyle his aunt was leading, pulling her down with him. Drugs, booze, and parties became second nature and before she knew it the using turning in to running. Half the time Bailey wasn’t even sure who they were working for but as long as they were high it didn’t even matter. For nearly a decade that is what her life consisted of. Sean was definitely not the man she thought he was all those years ago and her desire to see Will again started to grow stronger. After asking Sean if he’d be willing to go back to Michigan, her longtime boyfriend and lover agreed stating there was one more job they could do to have enough money for the trip. Tired from the drugs and the constant movement Bailey sat in the car while Sean worked his magic. In a dream like state the girl’s eyes shot wide open unclear if the noise she’d just heard was a gunshot. Running from the car to Sean’s side he was dead and the person he’d been talking too had disappeared. Unsure what to do she saw a man in a suit approaching. In tears she begged him to call for help and he flashed his badge. Thinking she was safe she told the cop what she knew but before she even had a chance the cop zapped her with a stun gun, gagged her and threw her in to the trunk of Sean’s car.

Hazy, when she finally awoke, Bailey was tied to a chair in a rusty warehouse near the water. She heard voices in the distance but her vision was still blurry and she ached everywhere. All she heard from the male voices were the words ‘Did you get your fill?’ and ‘Dump her’. In a panic Bailey struggled free from the ropes and has been on the run ever since.

Present:

Four years later Bailey still struggles to remember the events of that night. Everything blurs together and her only desire beyond that point was to stay away from the cops and find her brother. Calling home lead nowhere and she remembered the neighbors name and gave them a try being informed that her father had passed away and that her brother was now a cop out in California. The young woman took to changing her appearance as frequently as she could, still using and selling when she could. The drugs were her only source of income. She is still searching for Will in the hopes he is not like the other cops she’s encountered but the longer it takes her to find him the more paranoid she becomes. Connections:

Will McCormick: Bailey hopes if or when she finds her brother that he will be willing to help her. She isn’t even sure what she needs help with anymore. The details of the night Sean died have started to blur together and the paranoia she feels each time she seems a police office is surmounting. Bailey has no idea Will has spent the last 14 years searching for her and doesn’t know he is a parole officer and not a detective. All she can hope is that he is trustworthy and still loves her the way he did when they were children.

Bailey has no other connections due to her life on the run.

The role of Bailey McCormick is TAKEN.

NAME: Delaney Terrella - FC: Hayley Atwell - AGE: 32 OCCUPATION: Boutique Owner - SEXUALITY: Bisexual

Past: Delaney Idelsen was the only child born to Anna Putnam and Charles Idelsen. Charles was Anna’s wealthy and married boss, but despite her being born from an affair Charles took care of his child. At least he did until she was eight years old and he died from a heart attack. Charles never expected a heart attack to be what killed him and because of that he had never amended his will to include his daughter. Left with nothing, and used to be cared for Anna went into a deep depression, and at the young age of eight Delaney became more like her mother than her daughter. It was then that the young girl vowed never to be at the mercy of a man, or anyone for that matter.

Doing average work in school kept her off the radar, and for years her life consisted of school, caring for her mother and dreaming of something better. One day when Delaney was around thirteen an old friend of her father’s showed up. He had just returned from business in Europe to find that Charles had passed away. Feeling a need to check on the woman and child he knew his friend cared for, Isaac Hudson was saddened to find a depressed Anna and very mature for her age Delaney. Coming over to the house more often Isaac hoped to bring Anna out of the state she was in. Soon she was awake more often, had stopped using pills, and was even venturing outside.

It was no surprise, especially to Delaney, who saw her mother as weak for needing a man to take care of her and meet her needs; that Isaac and Anna married within the same year. Many felt that Isaac had always desired Anna, and whether that was true or it was a natural development was no longer relevant as they celebrated their summer nuptials. Delaney was thirteen as she walked down the aisle, made of honor for her mother. At the wedding Delaney met Isaac’s younger brother Ethan and was immediately struck by how handsome he was. She pushed away her girlish crush, after all she was soon to be fourteen and he was a man in his late forties. Still he was the best man and she danced and laughed with him, enjoying being in what she would consider his spotlight. For another two years Delaney saw Ethan at holidays and when he visited Isaac for business. Still thinking him handsome she crushed on him in secret, but as she continued to develop it became apparent that men were noticing her.

At sixteen she was full figured with a sharp wit and a soft laugh. Finding a willing boy was easy, in fact she found many of them, and she began to hone her craft of seduction. After all the best way to not be ruled by men was to rule them, and it became almost a mantra for the girl. On Christmas holiday she put her skills to the true test and while Isaac and her mother were passed out from partying she snuck into Ethan’s room. The man was more than surprised but it was clear he was also eager. At seventeen years of age Delaney was legal and on that night she finally got her wish fulfilled. For the next year the two met in secret, Ethan visiting more under the guise of building a stronger business relationship with his brother. Ethan arrived on her eighteenth birthday and made it clear he was taking Delaney away. There was shouting and fighting, but she was an adult now, and in the end she and Ethan won. Ethan whisked her away, first to Venice to marry her, and then spending the next six months touring Europe. Every new country was first spent ‘consummating’ their marriage, and by the time they returned Delaney considered herself a proper wife, something she never expected for at eight she vowed never to be like her mother. It would soon become apparent with her feisty personality she would find it hard to be tied down. As much as she cared and loved Ethan she still liked the attention of men and was learning to appreciate the delicacies of women. Maybe it was something he sensed or something he could use but by their second year of marriage Ethan introduced Delaney to the world of swinging. For Delaney it was finding home and she loved every minute of it.

Life was carefree and happy for the couple, both appreciating their time together and their time apart. In the fall of her 25th birthday Delaney would find her life changing once again. Ethan had taken up flying himself around and was flying from California to New York, a regular flight and one he had taken numerous times. Delaney was leaving the house a few hours later to meet a friend when she received a call that there was a mechanical error on the plane and it crashed; there were no survivors. Despite not wanting to be like her mother she spent the next few months grieving. Some of her grief was eased by the large inheritance Ethan left her, but also by the note in his will that she not stop living or lose her spirit.

Making a new vow Delaney headed out to a swingers party and revived from her grief. Two years after the death of Ethan Delaney met Eddie Terrella. The two it off and with similar views on life, love and marriage they quickly married. Somewhere there is love between them, even they want to kill each other, which has been their mo since year one.

Present:

Delaney and Eddie will soon be celebrating their seventh wedding anniversary, and while their marriage is anything but traditional the two do love each other. After all, they haven’t killed each other yet. Both engage in extra marital activities but in the end they always return to each other. Delaney spends her days running the boutique she purchased with her well invested inheritance money. She still holds stock in the Hudson company, but she leaves the running of it to her step-father and those he has in charge. Rarely does she see her mother but will check on her and Isaac once in a while. As with everyone else the Delaney showed to the public has another perfect marriage. Her private life is hers and Eddie’s alone, what happens between them is no-one’s business.

Connections: Eddie Terrella: Her husband of almost seven years the two can go at each other as if enemies, but then the make-up is just as heated. She loves Eddie and knows he loves her, and to everyone else they are the perfect couple. Delaney would agree they are perfect, for each other, for they both like the way things are and wouldn’t change a thing. Despite the ten years age difference, nothing new for Delaney, Eddie really is the only man who can keep up with her and for that he has captured her heart. They are frequently found in the beds of others they always return to each other and that is because of the love, whether others see it as that or not, between them. Eddie also knows if he tried to leave Delaney would kill him. Joey Dragic: The two women met at an art gallery almost five years ago, and immediately hit it off. Becoming fast friends as they have a similar view on life, Joey is one of the few people who know the truth of her marriage and her life. Delaney doesn’t have friends, she has acquaintances and lovers, but Joey would be the exception. Although the two women have shared a bed, they now spend more time as friends, trying to meet once a month to catch up, and to gossip about what is good and not good in the beds around town. Primo Walden: Delaney had met Primo a few times during her early years as a swinger, and knows him very well. Able to dote on him with Ethan’s blessing the two often had romps around town. Despite being a swinger Delaney didn’t like sharing Primo with the uptight women he often sought out. Not because he couldn’t see others, but she preferred he kept up with a higher class of people. Since his shooting and career as a motivational speaker the two don’t see each other much, but when they do it is clear some habits die hard. There is much about Primo that only Delaney and their mutual friend Joey know, but she has no desire to show his true colors. He is after all much too good looking and fun, especially in bed, to be thrown to the wolves.

NAME: Abraham Dolan - FC: Alfred Molina - AGE: 60

OCCUPATION: Head Psychiatrist at Reinholdt - SEXUALITY: UTP

Past:

Abraham Dolan has always been a man focused on success. His parents, both Portuguese immigrants raised the man to believe in the value of hard work. The two struggled financially, working their fingers to the bone to give their children a better life always encouraging and pushing for them to do a little better or try a little harder. Cornelius Dolan loved to tell his son there were no mountain tops. You always had to keep climbing because if you ever got to the top and you stopped moving you would go stagnant and fade away.

Abraham embraced that theory and used it to strive in school. Graduating high school with honors he received scholarships, starting his education at Columbia University in New York, the young man worked two part time jobs as well as a position on campus to help make ends meet. He had no time for the frivolities that many college students partook in. Finding a love for psychiatry, Abraham pushed himself and was accepted to Harvard Medical to finish his PhD. After finishing college he worked at several hospitals and psychiatric facilities getting his name known – the goal always focusing on where the next place to climb would be once he reached his current goals.

During that time frame Abraham met the beautiful Salome. Though not a man easily distracted from his career there was something mesmerizing about the woman aside from understanding how important having a family would be to his career. It was the next level. The two dated and eventually married but it wasn’t until their first son, Jude, was born that Abraham started to notice oddities in Salome’s personality. She started having manic episodes, including nearly killing Jude while the baby slept. He knew he could not diagnose her himself so he had her start to visit a colleague who would diagnose the woman as schizophrenic. Despite this hurdle, Abraham knew with medication that Salome would be able to live a normal life. She started medications and would complain to her husband that she hated the way they made her feel and it pained the man to watch his once beautiful wife slowly fade in to a person he did not recognize.

Through her attempts to feel what she considered normal again, Salome would neglect taking her anti-psychotic medications but also stopped taking her birth control and ended up pregnant again. She was forced to stop taking her medications during the pregnancy which only added to the manic episodes. After Nathanael was born Abraham had an even harder time with her care. Slipping in to a deep depressive state, she attempted suicide numerous times. When Nate was still a toddler Salome finally succeeded – leaving her three boys alone. As always, Abraham was looking for the next peak in his climb to the top. Taking the experiences he’d lived through with his wife the man wrote two highly successful books on living with schizophrenia and the aftermath of suicide among families.

Present:

After the tragic death of his beloved wife, Abraham went on to write two very successful books. He raised the boys alone never seeking out another relationship allowing even more time to further his career. As the boys grew, he raised them similarly to the way his father raised him pushing them to focus on success. He isn’t a cold man given his warm smile and heart-felt interest in the people around him but he is considered by some to be overly career-minded causing a gap between him and his sons and making it hard for the doctors that work under him at the prestigious Reinholdt Psychiatric Center to come to him with anything more than advice on their own career paths.

Connections:

Rowan Gilroy: Since taking over as the primary psychiatrist and the Reinholdt facility, Abraham has had staff both come and go. Some were worth losing, others he recognizes as an asset to both the facility and his practice in general. As a firm believer in building up others in their professions Abraham will do whatever he can for his medical staff. He loves to meet with them and finds Rowan to be very promising. He likes her temperament and though he’d never speak it out loud to her he feels she may have been better suited to psychology versus psychiatry. Yet, he believes that anyone can achieve greatness if they try hard enough.

Jude Dolan: The eldest son, followed in his father’s footstep right through med school becoming a doctor of psychiatry with a PhD from Harvard Medical. Though Jude has a very different personality from his father he both loves and respects the man. Jude often finds himself in the middle as his baby brother Nate struggles with schizophrenia like their mother. Where Abraham may be the foundation of the family, Jude is very much the glue. The elder man recognizes this soft nature in Jude but keeps his opinion to himself more often than not an observer to his family than a real help. Abraham has never told his son that his mother tried to kill him.

Nate Dolan: Being the youngest should have been fun and easy for a child in the Dolan family but early on it was clear Nathanael was more like Salome than Jude. Having both explosive manic episodes and drastic, long-lasting depressive ones the boy was diagnosed at a much younger age with the psychological condition that eventual caused the death of his mother. Abraham is happy that Jude and Nate are close with one another but he often takes a clinical approach to his son’s life causing a bigger riff. Nate is aware of his issues most days but like his mother struggles with the medications he must take to blend in to society. Because of the novels many people who are familiar with Dr. Dolan are also familiar with Nate’s issues.  

The role of Abraham Dolan is OPEN.

NAME: Primo Walden - FC: Parker Hurley - AGE: 28

OCCUPATION: Motivational Speaker - SEXUALITY: UTP

Past:

Sarah Walden was on 15 years old when she got pregnant. Growing up around Sacramento, drugs were prevalent in her neighborhood and it was easy enough for her to slip right in to that scene. Drugs and alcohol quickly slipped in to sex and before she knew it she was pregnant. Sarah didn’t even know who the father was since she’d been partying the night she thinks she got pregnant. Knowing she was with child did not stop Sarah from dipping in and when her son, Primo, was born, sadly he was addicted. The state stepped in and took the boy away and he was placed in foster care because her family could not even control her let alone provide a safe place for the infant.

Sarah struggled for sobriety but eventually reached it and was able to regain custody of her child. Life was not easy for them and her past always seemed to come back and haunt her. Sarah moved around a lot after getting Primo back giving the boy no stability and after meeting a man that got her hooked again the young boy started to dabble himself. This fact made life feel easy for Sarah because with Primo wanting to use drugs as well she could stay high and keep him quiet about her use through his. When Primo was 16 his mother didn’t come home one night. After the third night he was unsure what to do and it was actually the school truancy officer that came to check up on him.

Primo was taken out of the home once again and the course of the investigation lead to finding Sarah passed out in a cheap motel room. The drugs had not killed her but the lasting results would include slow reaction time and slurred speech. In foster care until he was 18, Primo started to realize how charismatic he was and used that ability to get the things he wanted. He took care of his mother but was still out getting high and drunk – usually on someone else’s dime. Primo used those skills and eventually started to wine and dine rich women taking gifts and money for sex and attention. After a heavy night of partying with a woman whose husband was supposed to be out of town on business, Primo found himself face to face with the man, stark naked in the bedroom, the man’s wife lying in bed. Not pleased that his wife was having an affair the man shot Primo and through his connections managed to have no charges filed against him.

While in recovery Primo had a revelation. He was charismatic enough to swindle money away from people with sex, why couldn’t he use that charm to inspire? Slowly but surely the man worked on his physique and his speeches and of course his sobriety. Hitting the streets for a new reason, Primo started to make friends with people to get his story out there. Each gig he’d get at a school or a prison only added to his notoriety and soon the money would be pouring in.

Present:

Primo Walden has written two books motivating people to turn their lives around. Sharing both his and his mother’s stories the man has built his own empire and is a brand name for sobriety in the state of California. The man has perfected the pitch – selling not only his books but his own 12 step course for getting sober and getting your life back on track. His attitude and behavior has given him many followers and loyalists as he has reached almost a cult like status.

Connections:

Luke O’Dair: Now in Southern California, Primo has gone to the Boys and Girls Club on several occasions to see if Luke will let him speak to the kids. For starters Luke has told him that the club cannot afford the speaker’s rates but Luke does not trust the man. He has heard his story but the hype that follows along with him, including an entourage of lawyers and public relation gurus; Luke does not want that kind of attention brought in to the club. Primo can be very tenacious though and insists he will one day whittle the man down to yes.

Joey Dragic: Back in the days when Primo was a gigolo, it turns out both he and Joey were buttering up the same woman. Trish, the woman who owns the gallery that Joey works at was apparently a big sucker for attention. While Joey was in a relationship with the woman, Primo started to persuade the women pulling her emotions in yet another direction. Upon a visit to the gallery Joey and Primo would discover each other and the mutual respect they share as players formed a friendship. Primo likes and respects Joey and keeps her close because she knows the truth about the type of man he really is.

Brandon Winstead: Primo’s head lawyer and the man that oversees the public relations for the man that has made him millions. Brandon is a wonderful spin doctor able to weave his way through all the logistics that keep Primo’s career in the forefront and keeps his client relevant. Though Primo does most of the talking Brandon is always the first person the speaker will go to for advice and especially when he needs his ego stroked. Most practicing lawyers find Winstead to be vile and the equivalent of an ambulance chaser but the reality is – he is quite good at his job.

The role of Primo Walden is OPEN.

NAME: Will McCormick - FC: John Krasinski - AGE: 36

OCCUPATION: Parole Officer - SEXUALITY: UTP

Past:

William Patrick McCormick was born in a small town in Michigan, just outside of Detroit. His life was fairly normal in the beginning. When his sister Bailey was born things changed for his family. She was nearly 8 years younger and what his mother, Monica, called and oops baby. His father, James, was a uniformed police officer in the city. Monica was a stay at home mom and the pressure of having another kid felt like more of a burden than a blessing to James. Constantly fretting over money and the pressures of being the sole provider the man berated his wife in to getting at least a part time job to alleviate some of the growing financial pressure.

Monica had not worked in a long time and wasn’t really sure what she could do. Part time work was easy enough to find but she needed to find something that worked around James’s schedule so they didn’t have to fork out more money for a babysitter. When she was hired by a local florist, Monica was thrilled and things seemed to level out on the surface of the McCormick house. One night close to Christmas a man walked in to the flower shop looking to rob the place. Monica had not been trained on how to deal with such things and even though her husband was a cop and even though she’d been raised around the crime and violence Detroit offered she was ill-prepared for the man with the gun. By the end of the transaction, Monica lie dying on the floor with a gunshot to the stomach and the robber left the flower shop with a measly $280 in cash.

Neighbors heard the gunshot and called the police out of concern but gun fire was nothing new on the mean streets of Detroit and it took nearly 45 minutes before anyone arrived. Monica was still holding on when they got her to the hospital, later dying on the operating table. The medical staff told officers had she been located sooner they likely would have been able to save her. This news was something that greatly upset James McCormick. He was a cop and knew that it was not always possible to respond immediately to calls and the people that called in the gunshot left no indication that anything else had happened. After the death of his wife, James suffered greatly from depression thinking had he not been so hard on her about work she would still be alive. This depression set him on a downward spiral and eventually he ended up working a desk because he could no longer pass the psychological evaluations to be out on the street.

As Will and Bailey were now growing up without a mother, James would tell them they needed to work extra hard to get the things they wanted in life. He would trash-talk the dead woman’s ideals and how she thought she could make a home by just loving her family. Will and Bailey grew very close and both worked hard in school. Will would tutor his baby sister so that she could get ahead as well. Earning a full scholarship to Michigan State, Will went on to earn a degree in Criminal Justice. He stayed local to continue to help Bailey but sadly the night of his college graduation the baby of the family disappeared without a trace. There was never evidence of foul play and nothing to suggest she was hurt – just that she had simply run away. When Will went to the house to find any kind of clue all he found was a post card for Long Beach.

Present:

Will moved to Long Beach after the disappearance of his sister in the hopes of finding her. It was a long shot, but the post card in her room was the only thing he had to go on. James McCormick eventually succumbed to the alcohol, his liver giving out – so Will has stayed within the system in the hopes he would one day be able to find Bailey. She was 14 when she went missing and Will has uses the police sketch artist several times to draw up what her face would look like all these years later. He does his job well but the slight obsession with finding Bailey keeps him closed off from having any kind of a real relationship to this point.

Connections:

Lou D’Agastino: Lou owns a diner that Will likes to frequent. As the men have gotten to know each other Lou has agreed to take on Will’s parolees to help get them blend back in to society. The diner owner offers work to those who need it and it has served him well because he does not have to place ads in the local paper when he has a position open. Will has a great deal of respect for Lou for opening his doors to people fresh out of prison but that kindness keeps the men friends.

Ramona Cantrell: Ramona is one of Will’s clients. He is well aware of what happened to land the young woman in prison but Will tries very hard to not be judgmental of his cases. There are many reasons a person can go to prison and only two reasons they’d be getting out – either their time was served or they are being released on good behavior. Because of this Will tries to treat all his clients with respect and does what he can to make sure they are incorporated back in to society. Through his connection to Lou D’Agastino, Will got Ramona a job and meets with her weekly to make sure she is maintaining her sobriety.

Andy Rollins: On several occasions Andy had been assigned as therapist for Will’s clients. The first time Will and Andy met was right around the time Astrid Rollins disappeared so the two men had an immediate connection. For the first time in a long time Will was able to open up fully about Bailey and since then the two men have been good friends. With Astrid coming home Will uses that as a source of hope even though Bailey has been missing for a longer period of time.

The role of Will McCormick is TAKEN.

NAME: Jordan Hollis - FC: Demi Moore - AGE: 52

OCCUPATION: U.S. Senator for Maryland - SEXUALITY: Straight

Past:

The year Jordan Elizabeth Hollis was born the United States was experiencing unrest of a new kind. As U.S. troops were starting to be sent to Vietnam and then with the assassination of President John F Kennedy, Reggie Hollis was proudly serving as a helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army. Reggie had just married his beautiful wife Sara and soon after arriving in Vietnam he was notified of her pregnancy.

As the war raged on and citizens divided Reggie did his best to instill love of country in his beloved daughter. He’d served the U.S. with pride and hated that there were some returning from war feeling betrayed. Young Jordan questioned why there were so many protests and anti-war rallies. Reggie was a solider before the war and had what many saw as an old school mentality. In America we had rights and privileges that other countries did not and he saw Vietnam as an opportunity to help. No matter what the outcome, he would tell his daughter, you never accomplish anything from complaining. Resolution came from doing.

This is the attitude Jordan encapsulated her entire life. She worked hard in school and did her best to set a good example for her 5 years younger brother, Stephen. Having a close knit family Jordan knew exactly what she wanted to do with her life. When she approached her father about military service she wanted to join the Army like him but Reggie encouraged his daughter to enter the Navy. Unlike like most military men, he did not see a great divide in the branches and had the utmost respect for anyone who served in any aspect. They were all needed – all necessary. She entered the naval academy at 18 with full intentions of going in to officers training. Her hard work would pay off when she was assigned to the JAG unit. Practicing law suited Jordan’s strengths.

Shortly after entering the JAG unit, Jordan met and married another officer but the marriage wasn’t happy or civilized and the couple divorced around their first anniversary.

After that Jordan focused solely on her military career. She would eventually rise to the rank of Lieutenant Commander serving 22 years. She was there through the first Persian Gulf War and stayed through the first term of President George W. Bush. The uproar in the country over the battle for Iraq after 9/11 only reminded her of her father’s words and Jordan felt the need to be one of the doers. Retiring from the Navy, Jordan would open a private practice and run for U.S. Senate in her home state of Maryland. As a strong, charismatic female public figure with both military and law experience Jordan easily won the junior senate seat. During her first campaign she met and married a Public Relations attorney by the name of Robert Irwin. Naysayers compared the marriage to that of Al and Tipper Gore saying it was for convenience or show but Jordan never allowed for the story to gain any ground.

Present:

Having now been a U.S. Senator for two full terms, Jordan in in her third. During the middle of her second she was appointed Chair over the U.S. Senate Committee for Veteran’s Affairs, a position that is near and dear to her heart. Not only does she get to work for her constituents in Maryland but she now had the ability to help her fellow veterans. The effects of war were not something Jordan took lightly even though she was a lawyer she witnessed the results at home, with friends and in the courtroom. Jordan loves her country and vows to honor and protect the rights of all troops.

Connections:

Thomas McCall: Thomas was hired during Jordan’s first campaign. The two worked together for three full years before the affair began. They managed to keep the relationship off the radar and in public you would never know the two were lovers. The affair ended when Thomas confessed his love for her and asked that she leave Robert for good so they could be together but Jordan’s hesitation said it all as far as Thomas was concerned. When his sister Keaton returned to Bethesda, seeing his family made him feel shameful for how he had been living his life and he ended the affair, though not the working relationship. The two struggle at times to remember they are no longer seeing each other.

Jordan has no other connection ins Long Beach as she lives in Maryland.

NAME: Edison Terrella - FC: Jon Hamm - AGE: 42

OCCUPATION: LBPD Vice Detective - SEXUALITY: Straight

Past:

Edison Terrella was born smack in the middle of one of the worst snow storms in Boston history. His mother would retell the tale of how she, the young Irish lass and her big Italian husband, Bobby Terrella tried their hardest to make it to the hospital but the snow was too deep. Aileen was proud of her husband as they maneuvered through the snow-covered city streets in the hopes of getting there on time, but alas it was not meant to be and Bobby Terrella would deliver his first son and oldest child in the front seat of their 1963 Buick Riviera.

Life for Eddie was a little chaotic, much like his introduction to this world. Aileen was a proud Irish-Catholic woman and his father Roman-Catholic the couple would compromise and only attend Mass on major holidays like Christmas and Easter. The neighborhoods were rough as well given Eddie was somewhat of a mutt. He didn’t quite fit in with the Irish crowd, especially since he favored his father more in looks and more times than not the tough Italian kids were calling him a half-breed. Eddie didn’t let it get him down. He kept his chin high and his fists clenched getting in to numerous fights throughout school. His parents would go on to have three more children and some days Eddie hated being the oldest sibling. With two sisters and a brother the Terrella family was well rounded.

In high school Eddie picked up a part time job working for the sanitation company his father ran. He hated the work but it was something and he’d be there a year before he started hearing rumors that Bobby was participating in extracurricular activities. He wasn’t really sure if he should tell his mother, instead confronting his father who introduced him the woman he’d been cheating on his mother with. At 16, Eddie Terrella would lose his virginity to his father’s mistress. It was the best way for Bobby to ensure Eddie would keep his mouth shut because he knew Aileen would never believe Eddie if he’d been sleeping with the woman too. Eddie would quickly start to lose respect for women after that point seeing how they were able to sway men with their sexuality; the bigger problem being he’d never considered himself weak but when it came to women it was all he could do to control himself.

Right out of high school Eddie would meet one of those girls. Jane Winstead would send Eddie for a loop. He was like a puppy on a chain with that girl following her out to Southern California. Jane loved men as much as Eddie loved woman and before he knew it they were hanging out in swinger’s clubs. Going to parties and taking special vacations was expensive and showy so, following his father’s lead, Eddie would take on a real job – joining the ranks of the Long Beach Police Department. It wasn’t too long before Jane would tire of his actual work and ended up running off with another man. It was the first time he was thankful they’d never actually married. Eddie liked being a cop and he loved Long Beach but as the years rolled on he was feeling more and more lonely. Constantly being on the prowl was tiring but at the same time he didn’t want to give up all the variety he was getting.

Eddie found a swinger’s party to attend where he would meet the woman he would marry. The beautiful Delaney was 10 years his junior but he did not care. The had the same aspirations when it came to sex and she gave as good as she got. He asked Delaney to marry him and for the couple life is never boring.

Present:

Eddie is actually a very good cop. He has become a master, much like his father, at keeping his private life private. Recently his partner was shot and killed in the line of duty during a drug raid, where Eddie would receive accolades and a commendation for his attempts to save his partner’s life. Eddie is not corruptible per say though he has, in the past, comforted female witnesses. He still has a tremendous weakness for woman and does the best he can to separate work and like his father called it extracurricular activities. Granted permission to return back to work after the shoot out that killed his partner, Eddie has a new partner that he now has to adjust to.

Connections:

Aaron Markovic: Aaron is the new partner and Eddie is confused on why he was reassigned to this man. There is nothing but precinct rumors surrounding the man and even though Eddie is familiar with his name he was not in vice when Aaron went deep undercover. He assumed with his partner gone that he would be given a newer detective to teach but instead he returned to work and was told Lieutenant Markovic was now the lead partner. Eddie does not understand why Aaron is not sitting at a desk, considering his rank and is a little upset at the fact that he is no longer considered the lead detective.

Delaney Terrella: The woman that captures Eddie’s heart and loins enough for him to share more than his bed – but also his name. Delaney is a decade younger than the detective and keeps him on his toes. In public they are the portrait of a perfect marriage but behind closed doors, neither understands or cares about the word fidelity. Both frequently cheat and both know about the other’s dirty dealings. There is something in that mix they both consider love and Eddie has no plans to leave his beautiful young wife any time soon.

Alex Rollins: The two detectives see each other on occasion outside of the office as work frequently has them bound to other things. Both men have a deep love of classic cars and Eddie has recently taken to fully restoring a 1963 Buick Riviera in honor of his birth place. After discovering Alex has a similar love for vehicles and spotted the Lincoln Continental he’d recently acquired the two men have a growing fondness of talking about their beloved beauties. Alex is one of the few men in Eddie’s life that he is respectful to both in and out of the office.

The role of Edison Terrella is TAKEN.
