Star Attraction - CHARACTERS


LISA RYAN

Lisa is 28 years old and coming to the end of a degree in English Literature -- a lifelong dream of hers since she was a child. Before moving back to live in her parents' house to attend the local university of Willow-by-Bough, Lisa lived and worked in London for many years in IT as a specialist Data Analyst and Database Administrator for large corporations, and lived in a tiny studio apartment in Camden Town, which she had... almost... liked. Her best friend Sally lives close by, and she made another friend in uni - Melissa. But other than that, there's really no one else in her life, so she fills it by studying meticulously in order to get a First in her degree.

SEBASTIAN DE CARR

Lisa's Childhood Best Friend... Have  been friends since they were 11 years old and met in the Library at school. They were inseparable from then on, and became each other's "other half". Both were secretly smitten with the other even back then, and then they grow apart when Sebastian, and his twin Caspian, move to the US - to LA - to pursue a career in film acting at the age of 16, just before sitting their GCSEs. 

These days, he's 28 years old and one of the richest, most successful Hollywood movie stars in the industry and the world. The Ultimate Romanic Lead Guy. The hot hero in, or on, an adventure. 

On his most recent film, he connected well to his co-star Kate Whittaker, and they ended up becoming very close friends. Close enough that he invited her to come along and join him and his brother in returning to their home in Willowfall-by-Bough for a small trip back home to his parents house. 

CASPIAN DE CARR

Sebastian's twin brother, and equally successful. He doesn't go for the Leading Men roles and enjoys focusing on Indie movies, or sidekick/secondary roles to the Protagonist. He doesn't make quite as much money as his brother, but his status as a Hollywood Icon is firmly established, nevertheless.

KATE WHITTAKER

Kate is based in LA, but hails from New York City, and ended being one of the biggest movie celebrities of the decade. With sparking, feisty blue eyes and flame-red hair, she was a constant favourite to play the "cool, extraordinary" female lead in really big movies. She loves her job, loves acting, and is really enjoying her time in Hollywood now. She's laid-back and fun, ready to be friendly and friends with pretty much anybody. 

It really surprised her to find a deep connection and friendship with Sebastian De Carr. Even with Caspian, she had a good time and good friends, but with Sebastian, they seemed to instinctively bond, and for the first time in a while, she feels like she actually had a true friend.

SALLY

Sally is Lisa's best friend. She went to school with Lisa and the De Carr twins, and knows those two very well. She's an administrator at the local hospital, and she's just adopted a mix-mashup of a dog called Nutter.

MELISSA

Melissa is Lisa's Uni Friend, and given there's an age-gap between them, they get on pretty well.

She also has a doting and loving boyfriend in Cameron
