Storyline
Woke Up Married to a Stranger Husband is a high-stakes revenge melodrama set inside a powerful family empire.
Charlotte Welles, the elegant CEO heir of the Welles Group, survives a staged car crash meant to kill her and falls into a year-long coma. When she awakens, she discovers her world has been completely hijacked: the man claiming to be her devoted husband, Ethan Welles, is cruel, manipulative, and secretly conspiring with his lover, Riley. Even worse, this “Ethan” may not be her real husband at all.
Feigning blindness and partial memory loss to stay alive, Charlotte hides in plain sight while uncovering a terrifying conspiracy involving identity theft, corporate control, and attempted murder. As she protects her young daughter and regains her strength, Charlotte quietly turns the tables, transforming from victim to hunter.
With the help of Leo Smith, a rival tycoon with his own agenda, Charlotte begins a dangerous psychological game to reclaim her family, her company, and the truth about what really happened to her husband. Love, betrayal, power, and revenge collide as Charlotte prepares to destroy everyone who betrayed her, one move at a time.

Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Charlotte Welles | Female 30 - 33 Years old |
Description A refined, intelligent, and emotionally resilient heiress to the Welles Group. Once warm and trusting, Charlotte becomes sharp, strategic, and merciless after betrayal. Though physically weakened after her coma, she is mentally formidable, using deception and restraint to survive and plan her revenge. Beneath her calm exterior is fierce maternal devotion and a burning need for justice. Charlotte is naturally beautiful, tall and slim. Looking for an Emily Blunt or Anne Hathaway type; strong actor with good instincts. $400/day | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Ethan Welles | Male 33 - 36 Years old |
Description Cold, calculating, and power-hungry. This man wears the face and name of Charlotte’s husband but lacks his soul and even his identifying scar. He orchestrated Charlotte’s car crash to seize control of the Welles empire. Charming in public, vicious in private, he views people as tools and keeps Riley close while never fully trusting her. Handsome in a clean, conventional, high-status way $400/day | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | Riley | Female 25 - 30 Years old |
Description Ethan’s lover and accomplice. Jealous, impulsive, and violently insecure, Riley is obsessed with replacing Charlotte as “Mrs. Welles.” She is emotionally volatile and cruel, especially toward Charlotte and Lilly, yet deeply dependent on Ethan’s approval. Her recklessness often threatens their larger plan. Striking, aggressively attractive, very aware of her looks. Looking for a Margot Robbie type. $300/day | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | Lilly Welles | Female 6 - 10 Years old |
Description Charlotte’s young daughter. She is observant, brave, and far wiser than her years. Lilly suffers neglect and abuse under Riley’s control but becomes crucial to revealing the truth, noticing details adults miss, including the impostor husband’s missing scar. Her love for her mother drives many of Charlotte’s decisions. Should be a natural, expressive child actor capable of silent reactions and emotional subtlety rather than heavy dialogue. Big, observant eyes that miss nothing $300/day | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | Leo Smith | Male 30 - 35 Years old |
Description The sharp, confident heir to the rival Smith Group. Intelligent and dangerously charismatic, Leo uncovers the conspiracy early and forces Charlotte into an uneasy alliance. His help is real, but never free. Their relationship is charged with tension, mistrust, and potential romance. Tall, classically handsome with a commanding physical presence. Mature charisma, corporate dominance $300/day | ||
