LARRY STRATTON Thirtysomething, a handsome but tightly-reined up-and-coming man in the political world
MINDY STRATTON Larry’s wife, beautiful in a hard way, a year or so older than Larry
CARIDA ROBINSON A very sexy and voluptuous Hispanic, a few years younger than the Strattons, and their polar opposite
TOM ROBINSON Carida’s husband, loose and attractive in his slightly overweight way. Carida's age
KEITH STRATTON Larry’s younger brother. Average good looks, scruffy beard
RUTH STRATTON Larry and Ken’s mother. A one-woman Greek Chorus. She's meek but genuine, a prim small woman who’s been through it, as her white hair shows
Except for Carida, who's Hispanic, the characters can be any race.
