Characters

• Holly A metropolitan go-getter with a lot of drive...and an even bigger heart! But for all of her business success, something is still missing. Perhaps the goals she's chasing are simply distractions, keeping her from pursuing her true love: music...and the right person to make it with!
• Lance A true-blue New Englander with a lot of flannel shirts...and an even bigger heart! Recently widowed, Lance tries to keep his B&B Running even as a giant corporation gobbles up every building in town. Holly's arrival threatens the life he's built for himself and his daughter, and he's ready to fight for all he loves...but can he fight his growing feelings for Holly?
• Grace An ethereal young girl with a lot of spirit...and an even bigger heart! Grace is a believer in fate, magic, and a spiritual connection she shares with her deceased mother. She also believes nothing happens by chance, so when Holly shows up in Fairhope, Grace senses that there's a reason for it. (If possible, the role of Grace will be double cast.)
• Bradley A Machiavellian businessman with few scruples...and even less heart! Engaged to Holly, he sees her as little more than a tool to help him climb the corporate ladder, and a trophy fiancé to show off at company functions. His libido is as insatiable as his ambition, driving him to other women whenever possible. (This actor also comically plays other men from Holly's past!)
• Nick A jolly, white-bearded man who could easily pass for Santa Claus in looks, as well as in mystical qualities! As the B&B's bellhop, receptionist, maid, and handyman, Nick is seemingly everywhere at once, looking over the needs of the inn, but more importantly, the needs of its tenants and special guests.
• Trish A straight-shooting, sassy city girl, hard and no-nonsense on the outside, but deep down she's caring and supportive. This is especially true when it comes to her best friend, Holly, whom she's known since college. She can see Holly's on the wrong path to happiness and is determined to set her straight!
