Hotseating.

Ok guys, here 'goes.:

Dave
Loves his wife, married 12 years. No kids (wife thinks they have - kid died, would be 1 yr old). Miscarriage. Not having sex. Not much in common with wife. Very loyal "she's my life". Does suspect she's having an affair. Says he's not intimidated by Paul.

Rho
Loves her husband, though sexually frustrated, and unsatisfied. Admits to affair. Feels she deserves to be happy (justifying affair). Thinks that her being happy will make Dave (husband) happy. Also feels she needs to be happy "to bring daughter up". Needs intelligence (Paul). Feels emotionally attached to Paul - says she's not scared of falling in love with him (although paused when asked - is she telling the truth?). Thinks she needs to control her feelings about Paul for the sake of her sister Cassie (pauls wife).

'Daughter' called Abigail. Born at home, difficult birth (she died but was resucitated). Wasn't scared about this, knew she'd be ok. Believes she's fully healthy now. Feels Dave isn't giving mother and daughter emotional support. Jealous of Cassie (she has the life that Rho wants). Doesn't care that she's not sexually active with Dave. Doesn't know if she'd like another child (struggled to answer).

Cassie
Feels Paul is distant but still loves her. Thinks he 'needs' her. Wishes he'd give her more attention, although acknowledges that he's a very busy man - 'too busy' for sex. She sometimes feels 'empty'. Thinks Paul is happy with her, and feels he's too busy to cheat on her. thinks he wouldn't want to hurt her. "He's difficult to get along with, unless you know him like I do".

Thinks her sister )Rho) needs help, but knows that telling her the baby isn't real would break her heart. No kids, but been trying for a long time. Niggling doubt about fertility because of Rho's problems. Believes that Paul wants a child with her as much as she does. Clinging onto relationship.

George/Tracy

G doesn't know his father, Tracy does. G thinks his mum loves him (but not sure?), feels like he's a nuisance and never does anything 'right'. T doen't feel as though concentrating on George's emotional needs makes her a good mother, thinks providing for her son is more important than loving him. She finds it difficult when he's around, but doesn't not want him to be there. (i.e he's the best mistake I ever made....'), although wouldn't have had him if she'd had a choice.

G pretends doll is real when adults are around, looks after 'her' properly, because he really wants a dog, so wants to prove that he can look after it properly. G has seen Rho and Paul together - keeps secrets from his mother and the others, but doesn't make up lies.

Adrienne
Relationsihp to Mona : good friends. Would backstab someone else. admits she likes a drink, but doesn't think she's alcoholic.
George: Kid she's never had. Never met the right person to have a child with. Feels sorry for G, looks after him and plays with him.
Aware that Tracy doesn't like her. Worries about upsetting her but also feels that T should see the relationship with G for 'what it is!'.
She feels too old to be in a relationship, not attracted to anyone in the commune.

Mona
Doesn't believe she's an alcoholic "i just like wine". Feels like a 'floater'. not in a relationship. Knows whats happening in the commune, affairs etc, although keeps information to herself 'knowledge is power'. Might be bribed by the 'mole', quite selfish. Happy about her 'role' within the commune, although emotionally disassociated herself from the others. Doesn't have much respect for them. Thinks that Rho is crazy (daughter).




Hope that's helped. xxxx
