Who's Who in "Between Friends"
Maeve is a sophisticated and savvy divorcee. Professionally, she is very successful in her position as a sales director. However, her personal life is another story. While she loves her single status and the freedom it brings, Maeve's love life is a series of quests for romance that never seem to measure up to her idealistic "perfect relationship".
Susan is wry and self-doubting. She is married to Harv, has an adopted 9-year-old daughter, Emma, and works full-time outside the home. Susan is always seeking balance in her life. Her goals are to spend time with her family, score some personal time and maybe get to the gym once a month.
Kim is creative and introspective. As a feminist freelance writer, she enjoys the perks of having a home-based career. She is married to Derek, a widower with a son. Kim both adores and is exasperated by the challenges of raising her 12-year-old stepson, Danny.
Harv is married to Susan. An all-around modern male and supportive spouse, he is a funeral director and the orderly yin to Susan's messy yang.
Derek was a single father before his marriage to Kim. He is a high school English teacher and a positive role model to his son, Danny and the students he teaches.
Helen is Maeve's co-worker and sounding board at the office. A 20-year veteran of marital bliss with Grant and mom to Amelia (age 16) and Mark (age 14), Helen is a no-nonsense straight shooter who frequently gives Maeve relationship advice...whether she wants it or not.
Tina is Susan's office buddy and the frazzled mom of two kids.
Emma is Susan and Harv's 9-year-old adopted daughter. She is a drama queen who loves fashion, music, and pop idols like Hilary Duff.
Danny is the 12-year-old son of Kim and Derek. He is a typical kid whose life revolves around sports, instant messaging, Xbox and his buddies.
