Caucasian/Female. (30-35) Tone: Complex, conflicted, ambitious yet vulnerable. Nathan’s wife. Talented and career-driven, Isabella spent years relying on Nathan’s unseen support, eventually drifting into emotional dependence on Julian. Easily swayed under pressure, she makes painful and morally gray choices. Yet beneath her coldness lies guilt, suppressed affection, and confusion. Her arc centers on facing the consequences of neglect and realizing what she has lost only when it’s too late. Notes for Isabella (Ep1): Exaggerate her hypocrisy. She pretends to be Nathan's wife, but she has already cheated on him with Julian. Performance notes: Nuanced emotional work—guilt, denial, pride, shame, and late-stage remorse. **Open to Canadian & US Actors

Caucasian/Male. (30) Tone: Charismatic, manipulative, refined villainy. Isabella’s childhood sweetheart and the hidden antagonist of the story.

Performance notes: A villain who weaponizes charm—controlled, sinister, emotionally abusive with a deceptively gentle exterior.

Caucasian/Male. (30-45) Tone: Loyal, grounded, steady. Nathan’s longtime assistant and the first person to show him genuine care after his release.

Caucasian/Male. (70's) Tone: Firm, authoritative, paternal. Nathan’s wealthy father and head of SVA Group. Though disappointed by Nathan’s past choices, he has always loved him deeply.

Caucasian/Female. (30) Tone: Elegant, bright, sincere. A well-educated, accomplished young woman from a powerful family.

Not intentionally malicious—just pragmatic, judgmental, and driven by status. Casting tone: Strong presence, quick delivery, charismatic but slightly abrasive.

Caucasian/Female. (11) Tone: Spoiled, emotional, reactive, not malicious but immature. Raised in comfort and unaware of her father’s sacrifices, Sophia sees Julian as the provider she never felt Nathan was.

Performance notes: Strong emotional swings—brattiness, entitlement, vulnerability, and eventual self-awareness.
