Becky Barnes: The nurse at the pediatrics wing at St. Damion’s hospital in downtown Hatchetfield. She is at the mall trying to get a Wiggly doll for the sick kids in the hospital. A good person, a kind soul.
Lex Foster: A high school dropout. She works at Toy Zone the store that is selling Wiggly dolls. She wants to steal a Wiggly doll so she can sell it for $7,000 and use the money to run away from home. She has a bad home life and is trying to get to California with her little sister. Would do anything for Hannah (her sister). Smart. 18-19
Ethen Green: A teen, high school dropout character. He is Lex’s kinda boyfriend. They are trying to run away to California together. He means well.
Linda Monroe: A wealthy woman in Hatchetfield, president of the Hatchetfield boating society. She is one of the primary villains of the show. A “deliciously evil villain”. At the mall trying to get 4 Wiggly dolls. She is not a fool, very mean to people.
Uncle Wiley: If the Wiggly doll was a show like barney, Uncle Wiley would be the host. An old-timey sailor type character, the creator of the Wiggly dolls.
President Howard Phillips: The president of the united states, gets involved in all the Wiggly madness as well. Gets involved when things escalate in Hatchetfield.
Hannah Foster: Lex’s little sister who Lex plans to take with to California. She is 9 years old and will either be played by an actual little girl, or just someone who looks young. A quiet, odd, mysterious, quiet, weird girl who speaks in riddles. Has strange visions and imaginary friends. Serious character, not comedic.
Tom Houston: There to get the doll for his son. Was Becky’s highschool sweetheart, but has not seen Becky since high school. His son is named Tim. Has some family connections to a familiar face(s?).
Sherman Young: An avid toy collector. Goes to the mall in order to buy one or more Wiggly dolls. Very into collecting dolls and stuff. Gets swept into the chaos and maybe has something to do with some bad stuff that goes down. A man?
1:03:00- The Wiggly Jingle: Musical commercial for the Wiggly doll. As though wiggly is from a show like barney.
2:58:00- Califor M.I.A: Sung by Lex Foster about how she wants to run away to California.
3:53:00- What Do You Say?: Sung by the other people in line at the store on Black Friday when Becky and Tom meet for the first time since high school. Spreading the gossip.
