All About MeeMaw Green!
MeeMaw’s not happy. Known as Myrtle Presley Green, she is the sole beneficiary of the infamous Presley Gold Rush inheritance discovered in the Sierra Foothills of Northern California. She lost her only son, Jessie Green, last year to a suspicious death. MeeMaw believes the one and only Ms. Sparkle May Peacock is to blame and she has come back to Tennessee with a vengeance to see that her family inheritance stays with the family. MeeMaw had given her son, Jessie, a portion of his inheritance money early on only to have Ms. Peacock rob him of it upon his death. Maddened that her inheritance was stolen from her family, MeeMaw has made it her mission to rid the family of Sparkle May Peacock and anyone else who threatens the Green’s.
But not everyone is happy about her return. Is blood truly thicker than water?
Her only next of kin are her two grandchildren, Jessie’s daughter and son, Sandy and Johnny Green. They are also the heirs to her fortune and both despise Ms. Peacock for stealing a portion of their inheritance. Johnny Green has recently married Miss Scarlet Lee Lewis and although MeeMaw thinks Johnny could have done better, she wants to see the Green family name continue on so she has decided to embrace Miss Scarlett. Miss Scarlett has a twelve year old little girl from a previous relationship named Skyler Faith and although MeeMaw doesn’t have anything against her, she is very much anticipating Johnny and Miss Scarlet having a baby boy who will continue on the Green family name, and genetics. It’s Skyler Faith’s birthday so Johnny and Scarlett are hosting a birthday bash for her and have invited all the cousins to attend. Thank you for coming!

Miss Scarlet Lee Lewis, simply known as Miss Scarlet, wants to make it big as the next country singing star. She and her now husband, Johnny Green, have a singing duo called ‘Scarlet’s Green’. They were on America’s Got Talent and made it to the semifinals. Ever since not winning, Johnny has started giving up on making it in music and has focused on his real estate career, but Scarlet is determined. She helps Johnny manage his mobile home park, Shady Acres. She’s also an animal lover and activists and enjoys helping and caring for the animals at GratiDude Ranch where Johnny manages his family’s property. After Johnny’s daddy died, she thought she and Johnny would move on to the ranch, but now MeeMaw has moved back in and it doesn’t look like she’s leaving anytime soon. Her dream is to transform the ranch into an animal sanctuary for rescues. She’s a hometown gal and has lived a pretty tough life, coming out of foster care and having to grow up quick. She’s also quite a looker. She’s had to use her looks to get ahead and has a reputation for being a bit too flirty with many of the local fellas, that was until everything changed when meeting Johnny Green… or has it?
MR. JOHNNY GREEN
Singer, Realtor and Property Manager
Played by Jason Warner
Johnny Green is the son of Jessie Green. Sandy White is his older sister and they’ve always been very close. Johnny has been a playboy most of his life, singing in a rock band for ten years, but he’s recently grown up and got his real estate and property management license. As a singer-songwriter, his daddy Jessie wasn’t very supportive and encouraged him to pursue real estate instead. He even helped him buy his first investment property, Shady Acres, a mobile home park that Johnny now owns and manages in addition to managing the nearby family property, GratiDude Ranch. He lives at Shady Acres with his, now fiance, Miss Scarlet Lee Lewis. They met at the local karaoke bar and started a duo called ‘Scarlet’s Green’ where they travel and perform at clubs and karaoke nights.
When MeeMaw passes, his dream is to use his remaining inheritance to open and restore an old hotel in Fairview with a Rock ‘n’ Roll theme. He was planning on using his daddy’s inheritance to buy Miss Scarlett an engagement ring but Ms. Peacock stole his inheritance, marrying his daddy right before he died! MeeMaw helped him buy a ring and paid for his and Miss Scarlett’s wedding. He owes Mammaw a lot.
MRS. SANDY GREEN-WHITE
Life Coach and Yoga Instructor
Played by Jamie Dudney (Understudy Tiffany Slater)
Sandy White (previously known as Sandy Green) is a certified life coach and yoga instructor. She is MeeMaw’s only grand daughter and is the older sister to Johnny.
She works with plant medicine, auras, chakras and other alternative methods of health and spirituality such as Reiki. She works with clients and hosts retreats at the ranch and hopes to one day transform the ranch in to a full Wellness Retreat Center. MeeMaw has been having some health issues and Sandy has been caring for her. She’s not keen on Western Medicine and practices mostly energy work, but she’s agreed to be her caretaker and give MeeMaw her daily meds.
Their family inheritance has been stolen by Sparkle-May Peacock when their daddy, Jessie Green, died and left his inheritance to Sparkle-May after a VERY short marriage. Sandy is worried about their family land (GratiDude Ranch) that Sparkle-May has been trying to get her hands on ever since her daddy’s passing. Will Sandy be able to keep it in the family or lose it forever? And will she do whatever it takes to make sure this sacred land isn’t stolen from her?
MRS. SPARKLE-MAY PEACOCK
Liquor Store Owner and Mary Kay Consultant
Played by Cheryl Morgan
Sparkle May Peacock has been married four times and all of her husbands have died mysteriously. Her late husband, Jessie Green, Sandy and Johnny’s father, left her his inheritance. Although she considers Sandy and Johnny her step-children, they hate her! And now, after hearing what’s happened back in Tennessee, MeeMaw has come back to town with a vengeance!
Sparkle-May used her inheritance to open the one and only Fernvale Liquors by purchasing one of the oldest structures in Fernvale and rehabbing it as a liquor AND cosmetic store. She loves Mary Kay and sells to a very particular underground market.
Jessie Green’s best friend was Professor Plum. During the grief of losing his best friend, Professor Plum has turned to Ms. Peacock and she seems to have found her way into Professor Plum’s…heart. This has allowed her to keep her claws in with the Green family as Professor Plum is like an uncle to Johnny and Sandy, and like a son to MeeMaw. Owning a liquor store, she has only aided in Professor Plum’s long known drinking problem as he now has access to liquor as much as he wants. It’s become a real problem. Is it Sparkle May Plum wants, or the booze?
PROFESSOR BUDDY HOLLY PLUM
Professor of Music
Played by Andrew McGinnis (Understudy Ben Slater)
Professor Buddy Holly Plum, known as Plum, has been a Professor of Music at a local University but was recently ‘let go’ for his alcohol issues. Named after Buddy Holly, he’s been a musician his entire life, and when not performing loves teaching music.
Plum was best friends with Jessie Green for decades and was considered another son to MeeMaw. The Professor has never married nor had children and was always like an uncle to Johnny and Sandy Green. Although Jessie Green wasn’t very supportive of Johnny going into music, Professor Plum encouraged it, so Johnny and he have always been very close.
However, Plum has been hiding the truth from the Green’s that he’s been dating Ms. Peacock, the woman who stole their inheritance! They don’t know that he’s had a thing for Ms. Peacock for years, and the fact that she owns her own liquor store doesn’t hurt the situation. Does Plum love her or the booze? That’s the real question. Does he even know?
He’s decided to invite Ms. Peacock as his date to the birthday bash and let the cat out of the bag, so to speak. What will the consequences be? And could he perhaps just be covering his tracks?
