Now she has to gather her brother and sisters and find a common ground for them all to pitch in. Emmie has a secret power - she’s a Medium in Training. How will she use this extra intuition to guide her through this next phase of life?

Her themes: Finding love at an older age, taking care of her elderly mom and dealing with selfish siblings.

The Matriarch of the Porter Family

As a young mother - she moves onto Rosemary Street with her four kids and husband, Stanley Porter. She becomes close friends with Dolores Hunter, and both women share experiences as they raise their families together. When the kids are teens, Margaret works part time at the local hospital, runs a daycare out of her own house, and runs a book club with Dolores, as well as a crafting club. She’s a fanatic about college football, and secretly drinks.

In her older age - she becomes more argumentative and antsy as dementia starts to take over. She still loves spending hours with Dolores on the front porch.

Hannah Moon is the Vivacious Letter Carrier that delivers the mail to the Rosemary Street vicinity.

Think of her as similar to the “Stage Manager” in the play Our Town. She knows everyone, and everything about them!

Her story? She’s a Mother of a 22 year old boy, divorced. She’s following in her Father’s footsteps, the great Otis Moon, who’s happily retired, and living with his wife on the Eastern Shore. Otis spent 40 years delivering the mail to the Rosemary Street Community - and was an Uncle, Therapist and “God-Father” to many. He happily taught Hannah everything he knows.

Hannah has a very obvious crush on Bobby Hunter. She’s still looking for her Son’s future Step Daddy..

The Matriarch of the Hunter Family

Dolores was raised in her house on Rosemary Street, and her mother was also raised in the exact same house.

In the 1960s - Dolores and her husband now have the house to themselves. They raise their three boys there. She becomes close friends with Margaret Porter, and both women share experiences as they raise their families together. When the kids are teens, a horrible accident happens, and one of her twin boys - Felix is killed at the age of 14 years old. Dolores has a hard time getting over the accident, and secretly blames Frank for Felix’s death. Meanwhile Bobby becomes the Apple of Dolores's eye.

In her old age - Dolores lost her husband to a stroke in 2017 when celebrating her birthday. Dolores is just trying to keep things together, and stay in her home - everyone around her is trying to take care of her - when she just wants to take care of herself - as Parkinson's is slowly taking over her body.

Bobby is the youngest son of Dolores and Samuel Hunter.

He’s five years younger than the Twins - Frank and Felix. Since Felix’s death, (when Bobby was 6 years old) Bobby has been his mother’s favorite. With that - he feels extra pressure of being both like Felix and still himself. He keeps his troubles and faults away from his mother, and relies on his older brother Frank to clean up any messes he makes. So his mother always thinks of him as the “perfect” son, and as Frank as the “troubled” son, when in reality - it’s actually quite the opposite.

Current Day - Bobby is separated from his wife, and has moved back home with his mother. He’s trying to get back together with his wife. His two children - Damion, and Kendra live together in an apartment in the neighborhood. His wife has their home in Ronald Park. Bobby is one of the managers at Edmunds, a local grocery store. His son, Damion has a job there as well.

Frank Hunter is the surviving Twin of Samuel and Dolores Hunter.

When Frank and Felix were 14 years old, a tragic event happened and Felix disappeared from a park where the boys were playing. His body was found a few days later. Dolores, Frank’s Mom has never mourned properly over Felix, and has blamed Frank throughout his life. Frank is very protective of Bobby, and has been the best Big Brother he could possibly be for Bobby - almost spoiling him too much.

Frank is now a doctor, and has a beautiful wife, Athena Brown-Hunter, who’s an Artist and Art Teacher. They have a 17 year old daughter, Justin (JC) Claire Hunter, who’s actually a “They” now. Frank doesn’t understand the “They” thing. But he does want his daughter to be happy. He feels like a “They” because he carries his brother “Felix” around with him - he can never escape the tragedy. Frank and his family live next door to his mother so they can look after her.

Athena Brown-Hunter is an Artist and Art Teacher at the local art college.

She fell in love with Frank Hunter in college, and has been married to him for 18 years now. They have a 17 year old daughter named Justine (JC) Claire Hunter, a senior in high school who has recently declared herself a “They.”

Athena has to deal with Mother-In-Law Dolores, who has never seemed to like her, her husband’s “invisible” twin brother Felix, and her daughter, who now calls herself a “They,” while also trying to prove herself as a viable art professor in a male-dominated art college.

Athena would love to move into a bigger house, and move her own parents into the house with her. They are also elderly and frail now. She resents Frank always getting his way. She is also the collector of EVERYTHING!

Isabella, better known to all as “Izzie” moves to Rosemary Street as the series starts with her husband Reno Velez, and their 16 year old son, Phoenix. They have just opened up the Lolli Green Boutique and Smoke Shop within the neighborhood. They moved between Dolores’s house and Margaret’s house - so they hear many conversations between the two houses. Izzie is from Puerto Rico - her husband is from Nevada.

They moved to Baltimore because they were able to buy the perfect building for their Cannabis Dispensary. Izzie doesn’t have too much to do with the dispensary - she runs the storefront - which she calls the “Boutique’ while the guys run the smoke shop and dispensary.

Izzie is also an artist, and professional body and face painter. She’s always practicing on friends and family, including her 23 year old niece, Cassidy. Izzie meets Angela in the neighborhood, and hires her to work in the Boutique with her. Her niece also works with them, and sometimes her son helps out.

Petra Baskota lives down the street from Stashi Daniels on Rosemary Street.

She’s 17 years old, her birthday is June 16 (she’s a Gemini). She’s a senior at the Baltimore Performing Arts School, and classmates with Stashi Daniels and Joey Duskin, both of whom she has known since Kindergarten.

Petra and Joey have always had an attraction for each other, though just recently, they started to date. Petra had another boyfriend when she was in 10th - 11th grade. But during the summer between 11th and 12th grades, he broke her heart, and Joey came to her rescue.

Though they haven’t tried too hard to hide it, Stashi still hasn’t noticed. Petra’s parents are from Nepal. Her father is a Professor at the Guilford University Medical School and her mother works in Admissions. They would love for her to attend Guilford University, but they understand her passion for singing, acting and NYU, so they’re sure she’ll be moving to NYC after High School.

Petra has been singing since she was five. She also wants to perform on Broadway.

Joey Duskin lives down the street from Stashi Daniels, and Petra Baskota on Rosemary Street with his mother.

He’s a senior at the Baltimore Performing Arts School , and classmates with Stashi and Petra, both of whom he has known since Kindergarten. Joey has always had a crush on Petra. But he always felt like he was in the Friend Zone. When he grew taller, and his voice changed, Petra started to notice him. But it wasn’t until her heart was broken by another classmate, that he was able to move in, comfort her, and finally prove he was “date” worthy. They started to see each other last summer and have been together ever since.

Seven months into their relationship - their friend Stashi is finally getting the hint. Joey’s home life is crumbling. His mother is addicted to pills, and now has breast cancer. She lives on Rosemary Street.

His parents don’t want him to go to college. His father hopes he’ll take over the fishing store. He hasn’t decided either way, and hasn’t told Petra and Stashi his plans yet…

Skylar Odin was the lead singer in a popular band in the 1990s called Gods of Frenzy.

He was a contemporary of Asher Daniels, and the band members of 1313 - they all played in same clubs on the East Coast.

One night in the mid 1980s - 1313 played in a “Battle of the Bands” while Skylar and Asher were chasing after the same girl. Asher won the girl (married and now has divorced her), and won the Battle of the Bands at Hammerjacks in Baltimore. Skylar has never gotten over that.

He married Samantha Andersson and had two very blonde children, Elsa and Erik. They help out when he’s on tour. He and Sam just recently divorced. When he sees Asher again, he immediately yearns for Asher’s ex-wife Abbie. He opens his mouth too fast and invites 1313 to have their first concert at his Aunt’s bar, The Auto Bar.

Can Skylar recreate that “Battle of the Bands” night, win the Band Battle and finally get his girl? And what has become of the beautiful Abigail Sommers since her divorce from Asher?

Kayla is the youngest daughter to Maggie and Stanley Porter. She and her brother and sisters grew up on Rosemary Street, two doors away from Dolores and her family.

Kayla is married to Taylor Emmitt, a computer tech guy working for a non-profit downtown. Their 22 year old daughter, Myra Emmitt, is in college in Florida. Their son, Tyler Emmitt is a freshmen at Towson University.

Kayla works as an office manager at an banking firm close by her husband.

Now that the kids are in college, Kayla is feeling like an empty nester. She’s so excited when Emmie moves back home - her new mission in life is to help Emmie settle down in Maryland with her. She’s been feeling bored in her life - she’s hoping to live vicariously thru Emmie.
