[JACKIE PORTER] [ROLE: GUEST] [GENDER: FEMALE] [ETHNICITY: CAUCASIAN] [AGE: LATE 30s to LATE 40s]

JACKIE is a single mother to a daughter in her late teens, early 20s.  She does not approve of her daughter Jennifer’s boyfriend and is very concerned for her daughter’s safety.  Must be able to play a concerned mother, and be able to get to the point of freaking out/hysterics in a believable manner.  Actress can go older if necessary.  Daughter character is in her late teens up to mid-20s.  This is a SERIES GUEST role. 

[JENNIFER PORTER] [ROLE: GUEST, possibly RECURRING] [GENDER: FEMALE] [ETHNICITY: CAUCASIAN] [AGE: 20s]

JENNIFER is Jackie’s rebellious young daughter.  She is decked out in Goth makeup and attire.  She is dating Frank, a boy whom her mother Jackie finds questionable and dangerous.  Jennifer is in love with Frank.  She’s angst-ridden with a bad attitude. She has no problem giving people lip. Attractive and fit. Actresses who can appear to be/play late teens up to mid-20s is fine.  This is a SERIES GUEST role which can possibly become recurring.
