Storyline
LOGLINE: CHELSEA and JAKE are "America's Sweethearts," the stars of a hit reality show in which couples find love and sometimes honesty in the process of renovating a home and bringing it to new life. But when they agree to a live Christmas special, and assist COOPER and JANICE in the renovation of a soon-to-be-glorious Vermont cabin -- well, it's as if Mister William Shakespeare has sent those four souls onto the ice, to spin and whirl and slip and slide and re-couple with passion and enthusiasm, until finally the stud finders all point in the right direction...
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Supporting | JAKE | Male 32 - 38 Years old |
Description [JAKE ROBERTS] 34 years old, slick and well put-together, Jake is the co-host of "Renovation Romance," and he is Chelsea's partner, on and off camera. But Jake is just a bit shallow and self-absorbed, an ambition monster who never lets anything (like love) get in the way of building his brand. Jake doesn't quite realize that Chelsea has seen through him, all the way to the bottom of his soul (all three inches), but when she decides it's time for them to cut the bonds that formerly united them, Jake feels a mighty burst of relief -- somebody finally said it!

| Supporting | BETHANY | Female 32 - 38 Years old |
Description [BETHANY] 38 years old, a no-nonsense entertainment industry professional, Bethany is the Producer / Director of "Renovation Romance,' and she appears to be about as single as you can be. Married to her job, Bethany considers herself a good judge of character, and she's quite pleased to make a new friend when Tom starts hanging out with her. But in fact, Tom has an agenda that is light-years away from romance, and when Bethany learns that Tom is writing for a tabloid paper and looking for hot gossip about Chelsea and Jake, she feels bitter and betrayed.

| Supporting | DON | Male 50 - 55 Years old |
Description [DON WALTERS] Male, in his 50s, a striking man in an immaculate dark suit, Don is the CEO of the production company that makes "Renovation Romance," and he's very happy at the end of Season One -- so happy that he orders his two leads to star in a live Christmas special in Vermont. The kind of Dapper Don who makes decisions and doesn't really care how high his employees have to jump in order to get the job done, he has another brainstorm, right before the Christmas special goes live: How about if Jake proposes to Chelsea, just in time for Christmas?Open Ethnicity | ||

| Supporting | JANICE | Female 32 - 36 Years old |
Description [JANICE EDMONDS] 35 years old, Cooper's steady girlfriend, a type A city girl who is always dressed to the nines. She agrees to renovate the cabin built by Cooper's grandfather -- but she wants to modernize it, flip it, pocket the cash and head back to the Big Apple. In fact, Janice is having some long hard thoughts about her relationship with Cooper, (they are two very different people) and a little time spent apart from him helps cement her decision -- it's time to move on.

| Supporting | TOM | Male 40 - 48 Years old |
Description [TOM] Male, in his 40s, Tom is affable, outgoing, ingratiating -- and underfoot; Chelsea keeps seeing him out of the corner of her eye. A writer, he's the son of the local innkeeper, and he appears to be quietly wooing Bethany -- nothing to talk about yet, the pot is definitely set at Simmer and in no danger of boiling over. In fact, Tom writes for a tabloid, thinks he can deliver a story about the breakup of Chelsea and Jake, and isn't nearly as nice a guy as Bethany thinks he is.Open Ethnicity | ||
