Paradise's Sad, but Great Mother
PB= Evangeline Lilly
22, Mother of 4-year-old Allison
Sam grew up in a good home, and she grew up with a guy named Nick. He was her best friend, and she loved him. They started to date in Junior High. He was everything to her, and she was everything to him. After they graduated, Sam's mother died. That night, she was really distraught. Her father had gone out and got himself drunk. So, she called Nick to come over. He meant to only comfort her, but they had sex. Right after that night, she had this feeling that she was pregnant. And even before she found out officially, she broke up with him. Nick had plans to go to college and become a journalist at a leading writing school. She knew he wouldn't have the money to go if he had a wife and child to take care of. So, she broke things off. And soon started to see Charles Watkins, whom she married not even two months later. But though she's married to another man, she's never stopped loving Nick. What will happen when Nick comes back to town, and they run into each other? Will Nick be able to recognize Ally as his daughter? Will she still be able to keep that from him? And will she be able to keep the fact from Nick that her husband beats her? She's never told anyone that Charles beats her. She hides her bruises and keeps it to herself. She hasn't even told her father, stepmother, or her best friends Jamie and Jack. But she's never been able to hide anything from Nick. He always knew her better then anyone. Will she be able to hide things from him now?

30, Husband of Sam, successful Lawyer.

Charles inherited a lot of money from his father. Now, Charles is a successful lawyer, and the town loves him. But the town doesn't see what he does behind the door of his home. He beats his wife. He's very emotionally and physically abusive. But around the town, he shows off his wife like she's a trophy, and his child. But, though Sam doesn't know this, Charles does know that Ally isn't his daughter. He's never said anything about it, but he does know that Ally is Nick's. Nobody else in the town knows though. They all think that Ally is Charles's child. He thinks that Sam is his. And though Sam hides it, Charles has this sneaking suspicion that she's still in love with Nick. What will happen when Nick comes back to town? Will Charles hurt Nick in order to keep his wife his?

PB= Matthew Fox
22, Journalist, is actually the older brother of Ian Williams
Middle-Class
Has always been in love with Sam. She's been his best friend his entire life. He still has the scar when he fell out of the tree when he was six, when his parents said that Sam couldn't come on their vacation with them. He went up into the tree, refusing to come down. And then he ended up in the hospital by falling out. Still has the scar on his leg for that one. They got together in Junior High, and the visions of them spending the rest of their lives together were coming to him, even then. He knew that he would go away to college, but long-distance didn't bother him. He knew that they would work, even though the idea of being miles and miles away from her, cut him like a knife. When Sam's mother died, he meant to go comfort her. But that night turned into a lot more. They hadn't had sex before that, and it was a night full of magic for him, in spite of him being sad about her mother. He thought that she felt the same way. But then, she was breaking up with him. And he had no idea why. He tried to get an answer out of her. But she wouldn't tell him. And he was still convinced that she loved him. He never did get his answers. She started seeing Charles, and it cut him more then anything ever had before. And then he left for school. Now, he's coming back for a little while to visit his family. He's still very much in love with Sam. He never was able to get over her. So coming back home might be a little awkward. He has heard that Sam is married and has a four-year-old daughter. That knowledge hurts like none other. But he's still going to come back and face his problems. Will he also be able to help his younger brother Ian hold onto the one he loves? Will he find out that Ally is really his daughter? And if so, would he ever be able to forgive Sam for keeping that knowledge from him? And will he find out that Charles isn't at all as he appears?[/center]

Jack has always been in love with Jamie. And there's been no question in his mind that he's always wanted to marry her. Jack, Jamie, Sam, and Nick were always really good friends.

Finances are tight while he's going to school to become a landscape architect, but he is glad that he didn't wait to ask Jamie to marry him. He knows that she's used to the finer things in life and wants to give it to her. He knows that he can't yet, but they're making it and still as happy as ever. Can he and Jamie continue to make it? And what will happen when Jack finds out about Charles? Sam has always been like a sister to him. Will he be angry at himself for not seeing it before, for not doing anything about his suspicions? Will he tell Nick, his best friend, of his suspicions that Sam is still in love with him? Or will he stay out of it and just let things work themselves out?

One morning she just woke up and started packing. He begged her to stay, but she wouldn't hear of it. She said that she wasn't happy, and she couldn't continue like this. They got separated a year ago. And both are still in this small-town. Both still go out of town and what not for their music, but they both still come back here. Marissa is living in a small apartment, and misses her husband. But she's way too proud to admit to it. And, her music doesn't mean as much without him. What is she going to do? Can she ever tell Logan that she's still in love with him and that she doesn't want a divorce?

He runs into her in town, and it's always awkward. They are still married since he always finds excuses to put off the divorce papers. But he knows that he can't put them off forever. He knows that he's going to have to do something to win her back, or risk losing her forever.
