Characters:
Dr. Richard Fitzwell : Arrogant plastic surgeon of choice among the ritzy residents of Craven Morehead. Quite the ladies man and anything but monogamous. Extremely shady in his business dealings.
Leslie Fitzwell: Richard's rather flamboyant twin brother. He returns to Craven Morehead after years among the missing. An actor by profession, he has had little success. He has a pronounced lisp and tends to spatter when he speaks. This may explain his difficulty in finding work as an actor. He hopes to launch a new career in tv/ radio advertising, with financial backing from his brother.
Ditzy Doodle Fitzwell: Richard's wife. Snobby socialite. President of the Craven Morehead Arts Council, Women's Club, and Gardening Alliance.
