WINSTON SINGHAMPTON
(65) has (since Riordan's
disappearance) been having
an affair with Simone. Too
much drinking and partying
has resulted in a number of
lost business transactions as
weli as unhappy clients not to
mention an unhappy
daughter. Winston is on the
verge of bankruptcy and
owes a lot of money to Juliet Primbottom, one of his
RIORDAN MONTGOMERY (77) is a
septuagenarian multi-billionaire who
went missing 4 years ago on a
boating trip near Covehead Harbour
while deep-sea fishing off the coast
of Prince Edward Island. Originally
trained as an electrician he soon
became involved in real estate and
made his fortune in shady property
deals, often at the expense of his
business partner Winston
Singhampton. Riordan met his wife Simone, a willowy blond, at
a blackjack table in Niagara Falls six years ago.
LAURETTA MONTGOMERY-
WATSON. (52) Riordan's first
wife, ran off with the locai police
chief Smiley Watson when she
found out Riordan had a
gambling problem that was
weighing heavily on their
finances. Later, the new couple
returned to the small community
to reunite with Lauretta’s elderly
mother who needed an expensive surgery. Lauretta
implored Riordan (who had since re-built- his massive
fortune) for assistance but was denied and her mother
passed on later that year. To make ends meet Lauretta
has taken a part-time position at the local pharmacy where
she dispenses prescription medications.
JULIET PRIMBOTTOM.
(65) is a wealthy aristocrat
who fell in love with Riordan
when she was 16 and
devoted the first years of
her life to his happiness.
After realizing his love for
his career, she gave him an
ultimatum and he discarded
her. Now, after breaking off
her relationship with Jimmy
CARLOTTA MONTGOMERY
(27) is the daughter of Riordan’s
business partner Winston
Singhampton. She has spent
her short life in luxury and
leisure and dominates her
husband in every way. She is
known for her vicious temper
and cruelty. As a child, Carlotta
was given everything she asked
Forsythe, Juliet has rekindled her love for Riordan, and
has accused Simone of his disappearance
for and now that her Daddy is financially less able to
comply with her wishes, her relationship with him has
turned sour.
SIMONE MONTGOMERY, (41) a
one-time exotic dancer, made he_r
fortune from the divorce'
settlements from her second and
third- ek-husbands. She married
.Riordan six years ago at a casino
after knowing him for only five
days. She has profited financially
from Riordan's disappearance by
gaining sole control of their
accounts and investments. She lives in ‘Willowgrove' - a
bleak Victorian mansion on a hill just outside of town.
JIMMY FORSYTHE (44) is
Simone's half-brother. A
terrible accident in his teens i
ended his promising hockey I
career forcing him to turn to /
a life of petty crime. A
dalliance with a much older
socialite Juliet P'imbottom
ended when she suspected
him of blackmailing her.
Jimmy now serves as
Simone’s butler and makes extra cash as a door-to-
door kitchen knife salesman.
TERRENCE FIELDS (42)
is Simone's first ex-
husband. They divorced
at the age of 18. Once a
clean-cut youth, Terrence
is now the tattooed owner
of a hemp store. He
spent several years in jail
after being framed by
Simone and her half
brother Jimmy for the
disappearance and suspected murder of Simone’s
former groundskeeper Eddie MacPhee After he
was proven innocent of the crime, Terrence
petitioned to have the officer in charge of the case
fired and has desperatejy tried to raise Simone and
her half brother Jimmy as suspects in the case.
MADAME DEVORA (59) is a
psychic hired to conduct the seance
that will hopefully contact Riordan's
ghost and end the mystery of his
tragic death. Nobody knows that
Madame Devora is Sandra
Sweetling’s mother and several
years before, was Riordan's
mistress. She broke off the
relationship with Riordan after she
was warned of Simone’s ugly temper
by then police chief Smiley Watson. Madame Devora has
conducted many seances before but is less than eager to
speak with her former secret lover’s spirit.

SANDRA SWEETLING (35) is
Terrence’s lover and Simone’s
personal secretary. She has
convinced Simone to once again
take on a groundskeeper for
Willowgrove and has secretly hired
Terrence for the position. She met
Terence one night when'her car
broke down and he offered her a lift.
The excitement of his bad-boy allure
bewitched and influenced the lonely
shy girl who is easily convinced by Terrence to do just about
anything. Prior to coming to work for Simone, Sandra was the
star of her University’s debate team and was planning on
pursuing a career in politics Sadly, that career was cut short
when Sandra’s much older brother mysteriously disappeared
several years ago and she returned home to help her distraught
mother.
SMILEY WATSON, (53) after
being re-appointed as police
chief of -the town when he and
Lauretta returned, was the key
investigator into the mysterious
death of Simone’s former
groundskeeper Eddie MacPhee
(the distant cousin of Simone
and Jimmy). After several
months of investigation, and no
cooperation from the parties
involved, Smiley built a case
against Terrence Fields who was later proved to be
innocent and released. Smiley was fired for his lousy
detective work and now spends his days as a private eye
investigating accusations of adultery.

LIAM MONTGOMERY (31) is
one of Riordan and Lauretta’s
twin sons. He is lazy and
overbearing. His father's money
once saved him after an incident
in college with a young girl. He
dropped out of school and has
spent the ensuing years
pretending to work in the family
business. Liam has of late been
seen with Juliet Primbottom who has expressed an interest
in purchasing shares in the family business as soon as
Riordan’s death is “proven” by the seance.
