Invited Guests:

ISABELLA DAWSON Homemaker Isabella Dawson is the moody homemaker and wife of Ben Dawson. Isabella and her family recently moved to the tiny town of Shady Oak. It didn’t take long before Isabella was labeled as the neighborhood gossip. Nobody likes to be around Isabella because of her violent mood swings, but her beautiful home is perfect for entertaining.

ADDISON SHADE Interior Designer & Carpenter Addison Shade is a resourceful interior designer. At times, this house stylin’ diva can be meticulous, and she isn’t known for patience. She has designed most of the houses in the town of Shady Oaks. Rumor has it she might have a reality show in the works – even though some say her work isn’t up to par.

DAKOTA DRUMLEY Chef, Shady Oaks Diner Dakota Drumley is the rude chef at Shady Oaks Diner. Dakota is the most discourteous soul in town and is a notorious party crasher. For this reason, Dakota received an invitation to the Dawson’s Block Party just to ease the tension!

KENDALL KENNEDY Librarian, Shady Oaks Library Kendall Kennedy is the antisocial librarian that suffers from anger management problems. Kendall is judgmental and often offends the patrons of the Shady Oaks Library. Kendall has an intense fear of germs, so getting too close is out of the question!

BEN DAWSON Pharmaceutical Chemist Ben Dawson is the most annoying one-upper in the town of Shady Oaks. If you’ve done, said, or tried anything – Ben’s done it bigger, better, and more often. Ben is new to the tiny town of Shady Oaks, having recently relocated his family here. Ben landed a job at Bonlin Pharmaceuticals where he is a Senior Formulations Chemist. 

QUENTIN MADDOX Convenience Store Clerk, Shady Oaks Mart Quentin Maddox is the eerie convenience store clerk at Shady Oaks Mart. A constant whistler, Quentin will always grace you with uncomfortable stares and periods of awkward silence during a conversation. There’s no way to avoid him, however, as he works at the only convenience store in town!

BASIL CROSS Restaurant Manager Basil Cross is the self-centered restaurant manager from Deadwood City, the neighboring big city of about 36,000 people. Basil constantly perspires and smokes a Sherlock Holmes inspired pipe around the clock. He used to live at 614 Scarlet Ct. with his sister’s family but refuses to talk about his bad experiences in the house.

GAVEN PHOENIX Manager, Shady Oaks Recreation Center Gaven Phoenix is the muscle-bound jock and manager of the Shady Oaks Recreation Center. A recent high school graduate, he often hangs out with Quentin Maddox in his spare time. Gaven was a notorious high school bully, and some say he hasn’t changed.    

ROBBY CHARLES Retired Candy Shop Owner Robby Charles is a retired business owner and chocolatier. Robby is the founder of Charles Chocolates, a world-famous line of chocolates that moved their headquarters from the tiny town of Shady Oaks to New York City eight years ago when Robby retired. Robby is paranoid and believes the government is watching their every move. However, what interest would the government have in a retired chocolatier?

MARGO PRESLEY Manager, Deadwood Lake Marina Margo Presley is the mysterious manager of Deadwood Lake Marina. If you look beyond her gothic and shady appearance, she is one of the friendliest and dearest friends you could ever have.

LIAM WILLIAMS District Attorney of Shady Oaks Liam Williams is the aggressive district attorney of the tiny town of Shady Oaks. Liam Williams owns one of the three mansions in town but has never entertained nor allowed a soul to enter his home. The townspeople often gossip about what Liam is hiding. 

NIGEL SAGE Junior Chemist, Bonlin Pharmaceuticals Nigel Sage is an ex-star athlete who has lettered in every sport during high school. After an unfortunate accident ended his athletic career, Nigel followed his father’s footsteps and became a chemist. He is now a junior chemist at Bonlin Pharmaceuticals where his father runs the show as the CEO. Nigel has a shady past, as he was an infamous tyrant during high school. His reputation hasn’t improved since then.

SADIE DAWSON High School Student Sadie Dawson is the intellectual high school senior. Sadie is new to the tiny town of Shady Oaks and attends high school in the neighboring town of Deadwood City. A dependable and loyal young woman, Sadie is the friend to have.

OFFICER NELSON Police Officer, Shady Oaks You’ll wonder how this crabby, introverted police officer ever thought he could protect and serve the people of Shady Oaks. Surprisingly, Officer Nelson is one of the most highly decorated officers at the Shady Oaks Police Department! One likely scenario is the officer intimidates everyone at the station, so they do what they are told.

J.R. SAGE C.E.O., Bonlin Pharmaceuticals If you looked up narcissism in the dictionary, you would find J.R. Sage’s picture plastered by the description. J.R. is the father of Nigel Sage and self-loving CEO of the only industry in town – Bonlin Pharmaceuticals. Since a significant portion of the town either is employed at Bonlin Pharmaceuticals or has a family member that works for J.R., you would be safe to say that J.R. controls Shady Oaks.

PEPPER CRENSHAW High School English Teacher Pepper Crenshaw, an impatient English teacher at Deadwood High School, is the most adventurous soul in the tiny town of Shady Oaks. A former jet-setter, talented gardener, and nature lover, Pepper has traveled around the world and experienced cultures and cuisine that most will only ever see on television! Pepper’s students, however, report she has a zero tolerance policy in the classroom! 

EARLINE CRENSHAW Owner, Shady Oaks Mart Earline Crenshaw, a recent widow, is the hardworking owner of Shady Oaks Mart. A compulsive liar even when the truth is better, this business owner is a known cheater during board games. Beware if you ever play a game against this master of deceit!

MAYOR PAULI A. TISHON Mayor of Shady Oaks There are two sides to Mayor Pauli A. Tishon, and one of them should be avoided at all costs! If you have something to offer Pauli, the mayor has your back. However, if you cross Pauli, mean spirits will rise to the occasion to greet you. The mayor’s mood quickly changes, so those working in the mayor’s office have learned to evade Pauli on a bad day!

PAT COURIC Reporter, CBC News Pat Couric is always on top of the latest story and sometimes before the story happens!
