MICHAEL WHITTAKER: Older twin son of the late E. Lamar Whittaker. Vice president of Whittaker Communications Corporation, one of the largest communications companies in the Tennessee Valley. Brother of Mark; formerly married to Elizabeth June Varner; father of two daughters, Jodie, the oldest; and Beth, the youngest. MARK WHITTAKER: Younger twin son of the late E. Lamar Whittaker. Brother of Mike; former brother in-law of Elizabeth June; uncle to Beth and Jodie. Works at Whittaker as the head of Public Relations and is the Station manager of Whittaker owned TV station, WCFP, one of Chattanooga's television stations. Has a relationship with Jeff Sprattman, his old college roommate. ELIZABETH JUNE "LIZZIE" VARNER WHITTAKER: Former wife of Michael; mother of Beth, whom she favors; and Jodie, whom she despises. An uppity and supposedly moralistic society matron who projects the façade of a gentle southern belle, but in reality is a scheming and ruthless woman who is very judgmental. Has also been known for having her share of affairs with every man in Chattanooga, spending most of her time at truck stops on the Georgia side of the Border. Daughter of a powerful Baptist minister who is very judgmental and is worse than he is. Former friend of Amelie DesJarlais, and now scorns her as nouveau riche. REVEREND RICHARD VARNER: Father of Lizzie Whittaker. A powerful Baptist minister in Chattanooga who doesn't mind using his church and position and power in the community as vengeance against those he despises. He is proud of Lizzie and Beth for being as judgmental and vengeful as he is, but he doesn't know that his girl is a common prostitute on the Georgia side. Very hypocritical himself as he married a young 18 year old named Carrie, and uses her as a trophy wife! BETH WHITTAKER: Younger daughter of Michael and Lizzie. Sister of Jodie. As judgmental as her mother and maternal grandfather; and a complete snob who rules the roost at the exclusive boarding school in Nashville that she attends. She clashes with her father and the rest of the Whittaker family, especially her sister. JODIE WHITTAKER: Older daughter of Michael and Lizzie. More compassionate than her mother and sister; takes after the Whittaker side of the family than the Varner side. She has a strong bond with her Uncle Mark. She encourages her uncle's relationship with Jeff Sprattman. Possesses the grace and gentility that her mother claims that she has, but doesn't. Serves her dad as lady of the house, despite the fury of Lizzie. AARON SPRATTMAN: Head of the Sprattman family. Minority owner of the Times-Free Press. Father of Jeff and Collin. Widower of Carolyn. Less judgmental than Lizzie Whittaker, whom he despises. Despises Reverend Varner even more than his daughter, given that it was one of his younger parishioners he married. A younger woman of 18, which makes him hate the hypocritical Reverend Varner. Open to his son being gay, and also encourages him in his pursuit of Mark. JEFF SPRATTMAN: Son of Aaron. Brother of Collin. In love with Mark Whittaker, to the annoyance of Lizzie. He is encouraged in this by Jodie Whittaker. An activist in the LGBT community, which attracted Mark to him in the first place. Supported in his relationship by his family and most of the Whittaker family. COLLIN SPRATTMAN: Younger brother of Jeff; son of Aaron. Works at the Times-Free Press as a reporter. Despises Lizzie Whittaker, due to her judgmental behavior. Engaged to Angelique DesJarlais. JEAN-MICHAEL DESJARLAIS: Patriarch of the DesJarlais family. A native of Paris, he is now the owner of a chain of French style cuisine restaurants, the most prominent one being downtown on Lookout Street, and now on the path to being as wealthy as the Whittakers.
