I’m just saying, as long as the kids don’t do anything we wouldn’t have done at their... Alright, scratch that. Leaves way too much room for shenanigans.

But yes, yes Simon is doing really well. His office is very cool, plaque on the desk and everything. Thanks for asking--- Do you want to see pictures?

Parentdale (can be used for plots)

Alive

Melissa & Simon Fox (Witches, married, Paige Turco & Robert Downey Jr) Vanessa’s mom has always wanted more from her daughter. More politeness, more effort, more boyfriends (ew). Mel wanted her daughter to be a mini me, an over achiever, prom queen, married her highschool sweetheart and went to med school. What she got was a disappointment. She’s not shy about giving her opinion, whether it’s wanted or not, some people understandably find her very abrasive. Her own daughter included. Simon on the other hand has always had a great relationship with his daughter, he’s the ‘fun’ parent. Despite being busy with his tech firm, he somehow still always had time for her in ways her mom didn’t. He just wishes she would stop doing so much illegal stuff online.

Tamira & Davon Jones (Witches, Married, Jada Pinket-Smith & sterling k brown ) - Katriel Jones’ parents, highly successful thanks to a number of influential spells (and just old fashioned hard work) Tamira and Davon wanted to give their only child everything she could ever want, regardless of how spoilt she might become. Bad idea? Probably.

Lilian & Jack Howell (Werewolves, married, Uma Thurman & Ethan Hawke.) Camille Howell’s parents, white and upper class, they’re reasonably influential in werewolf society among those who are pro-war. They take the cause of the upcoming war very seriously as they’re tired of being treated as second class and being forced to deny their true nature.

Alice & Patrick Beaumont Sr. (Human, Married, fc TBD) - Ricky & Steven Beaumont’s parents. Poor Ricky is actually a Jr, because of course his dad was egotistical enough to name his first born son after himself. At least he’s not Patrick Beaumont III, thank god. Typical upper middle class parents, Patrick Sr was a high school football star, and to this day insists that’s where his sons get it from. Alice is a good mom, and loves her sons very much and Ricky would do anything for her.

Deceased

Kathy and Sam Fisher (fc: Janel Moloney and Bradley Whitford)- The Fischer parents. Extremely normal. Had the whole white picket fence, two kids, mini van dream life. Still a mystery who killed them and why.

Minnie Torres (human, fc TBD) - Sapphire’s mom, who had her daughter out of wedlock to a man she refused to name. She died in 1951 of cancer, and never knew what her daughter had become.

Unknown Status

Lisa & Robert Ashford (human, fc TBD)- Kara Ashford’s parents, they went missing approximately 3 years ago, the only clue was their abandoned car and the case soon went cold and to this day remains unsolved.

lyndsy mcarthur (witch, fc; gabrielle union)

It’s Lyndsy McArthur (formerly Moore) of Lyndsy’s café! Definitely a town treasure, very well known and beloved here in Havensdale. Basically Glinda the Good Witch. She remembers names, faces, backstories and coffee orders without a hitch.

You might remember attending her wedding to Derek McArthur a couple of months back! Her first husband and Jenny’s dad sadly died when Jenny was younger but after many years and a lot of encouragement, she found love again. Wants to believe in fairytales but is grounded in realism. Love is hard work as well as blissful, embarrassing happiness and romance. (She forgave Derek for his secret sister Gia McArthur’s gate crashing of their wedding and his secret shifter genes but gets why Stella McArthur is still mad at Ethan. She supports her!).

Lovely woman with a mean right hook if you step out of line so don’t! Jenny’s righteous fury didn’t come from nowhere, you know? Is very protective of her daughter and Juliette Palmer who may as well be her daughter tbh.

Remember Sarah Palmer (Juliette’s mom) co-owned the café so up until last summer IC time, these two were the face of this hot spot. Best friends, best moms and best business owners; she misses her every day and worries about Juliette all the time.

So dang likeable!

Another Havensdale native and she was an academic star in high school. Very popular, very kind and very involved (very Jenny, really). She and Andrew Moore were that IT couple everyone swooned about. They were #perfect #endgame. Was probably valedictorian. Graduated Yale with a degree in business!

Connections;

Sarah Palmer (deceased) - Juliette Palmer’s mom. Her best friend and co-owner of the café.

Derek McArthur - her husband!

Ethan and Stella McArthur - Jesse, Jamie etc’s parents. Her in-laws who she adores, she thinks Stella is so valid. Sorry Ethan. 

Employees;

Jenny Moore

Rachel Gates

Juliette Palmer / co-owner

Parentdale - - - for plotting ref!

So Lyndsy’s soiree has be thinking about the Havensdale parents a lot and I’d love to plot out some connections with them!! Below’s a list of all my viable parents and their backstories in a compact summary for reference (feel free to message me about connections etc and what it’ll mean for our actual characters!):

Havensdale Natives (they grew up here so high school etc connections like!!)

Karen McReid (single, fc; stana katic) - you know her already! The aunt of Ruby & Carrie, mom of Danny. She was super serious in high school, like ‘class president’ material also with a bit of a wild side but her sis Krystal was the Wild OneTM. Had the weight of the world on her shoulders ALL the time. Eventually dated Daniel Moore (Jenny’s uncle) in high school. Now a businesswomen and all around pillar of the community but keeps an arms length from being too involved in town shenanigans.

Veronica Evans (single) - this is Erica and Rose’s mom! She’s very lovely, a friendly neighbour with a messy ex that no one really knows the real story of (except a select few including neighbours the Wilsons). Close with McReids & Wilsons. Had a lot of friends in high school but lost touch with them when she was married. Is still trying to regain Power over her life and have fun again with friends. Doesn’t date but might want to. Help her.

Chuck and Claire Cooper (married, fc; paul rudd and leslie mann) - the Cooper’s! Christian’s parents and Cam/Callie’s aunt and uncle. Chuck is a teacher at Havens High and Claire owns local baker ‘Claire’s Cakes’. Chuck Cooper was the Ricky Beaumont of his time, total party animal, messy flirt, always up for shots. He’s a bop! Claire is the one who keeps them together, a responsible, very embarrassing mom (they’re both embarrassing tbh). They were BFF since childhood but didn’t get togetherTM until well after high school. ▣ (x)

Victoria Harvelle (married, fc; america ferrera) - Jess’ mom and absolute #dramaQUEEN. She grew up in Havensdale and got the hell out as soon as she turned 18. She’s an ex soap opera star, glamazon and simply #dying over having to be back in Havensdale all these years. Thinks she’s better than everyone - always did. D-I-V-A. Fake friends only probably. Knows her husband is cheating on her. Will not discuss his love child Lua Harvelle thanks bye. Was compelled by Jess to think they’d sent her away for her bad behaviour but tbh won’t bring her up either.

Mitchell and Lacy Morrison (married, fc; alexis denisof and charisma carpenter) - the Morrison parents! Mitch is an absolute dork with really cool socks who owns ‘Morrison Records’. Honestly just...a soft, nerdy Dad who loves his wife more than anything. Lacy is the Bad GirlTM and always was (definitely in love with this nerd all her life tbh). She’s very cool which makes up for how uncool Mitch is. Remember, non-magical people think Mark woke up from his ‘coma’ recently and magicals know he was brought back from the dead. They deserve a nice night, basically.

Aaron and Marie Fairchild (widowed, deceased) - Charlene’s mom/Rachel’s uncle and aunt. Marie died when Charlene was young and Aaron is always on the road for work. Marie was thee Cool MomTM and very involved. They both would have had a TON of friends until Marie died and Aaron became distant. Needless to say, neither are here tonight.

Lyndsy McArthur and Andrew Moore (re-married - fc; , deceased - fc; jason bateman) - Jenny’s parents! We all know Lyndsy of ‘Lyndsy’s café’. She’s an absolute sweetheart with a right hook to match. Another piller of the community TBH, need I say more? The same goes for Andrew who died when Jenny was little (he was a fireman). These two were high school sweethearts, 100% the cutest couple, probably prom king and queen. Lyndsy’s now married to Derek McArthur if y’all remember!

Felicity Montgomery (married, fc; madchen amick) - #icequeen! In high school though she was a punky rebel with a giant attitude problem. Her and Ethan McArthur were also #that couple - don’t remind her. (x)

Maryse Anderson (married) - Effy & Lana’s mom, god help her. Very judgy, very straight laced and god fearin’ - she’s also super involved with the town’s events etc. Probably causes drama at every PTA meeting. Probably has beef with every other parent in town. BIG SECRET: her husband is in jail.

Larry Manning (married, fc; will smith) - Tyler’s dad. Owner of family pub/restaurant ‘The Silver Fox’ and a town treasure. Basically everyone’s dad, always looking out for you and can fix pretty much anything. He’s a settled down, very chill, married man and father. Was literally THE COOLEST guy in high school though, ask anyone!

Fred Porter (married) - the Porter dad! Can you believe there was an original Greg? ‘Cause Fred was breaking hearts, jaws, his own fists and making 1000 mistakes per minute long before his second son was even a thought. He got his act together! He’s a very hard working dad with good, family values who only wants the best for his family. Is so hard on Greg because he sees so much of himself in him tbh. His wife was 100% his saving grace, he loves her so much.

Mr and Mrs Jennings (married) - Isaiah’s parents! Mr Jennings is a member of one of Havensdale founding families so they’re SUPER involved in the town. They’re very fancy, have a big ole house, love to take trips but are friendly with everyone. They’re only snobby on accident. Mr Jennings is very serious and is waiting for Isaiah to stop his nonsense and join the family business. Mrs Jennings is way funner.

Not *from* Havensdale but live here now!!

William ‘Bill’ Tyler (technically, legally still married, fc; mark ruffalo) - Hailie’s dad. He own’s ‘Bill’s Tech Store’ which is a computer store so he’ll fix your WiFi etc. A grumpy loner type with an absolute heart of gold. Everyone who was around at the time knows his wife Grace Laurel Tyler left him and Hailie years ago (her dramatic return is still lowkey on the D.L right now though). Loves his daughter SO MUCH, is stressed to his eyeballs about her having.......a boyfriend. ▣ Was dating Sarah Palmer before she died (Juliette's mom) and honestly, me and Kayleigh figured this out today and I'm still crying.

Joseph Montgomery (married, fc; matthew mcconaughey) - Mr Montgomery! He’s lived here with Felicity since before Elena was born (22+ years). He’s a business man with political ties and always wears a suit. A big ole charmer that you literally can’t help but like!

Mrs Porter - info to follow on Greg, Simon and Annie’s mom but lbr...she’ll be an angel!!!

Penelope ‘Penny’ Manning (married, fc; salma hayek) - Tyler’s mom. The Mannings moved to Havensdale 17+ years ago! Penny’s a high flyer, works in fashion, always has her hands-free in, slightly aloof and very scary when she’s on the phone dealing with a problem. The BossTM. Absolute goals. Loves her son and doesn’t mean to be so absent. Friends with everyone but she never has time.

Joseph Salvatore (married, fc; jared padalecki) - Joey and Keith’s dad (and maybe more). He’s lived in Havensdale full time aroundabout when Keith was born (ISH). Before this, he was a legit rockstar. He toured, he did the whole sex, drugs, drink and rock ‘n roll thing. Now he’s a real pillar of the community, owns the gym, is very involved with the town - which made the arrival of his Secret Son Joey such a SCANDAL. He’s still recovering.

Charles Harvelle (married, MIA, fc; david tennant) - No one has noticed yet or caused a scene about it but Mr Harvelle is currently missing.... Details will follow, for now his wife just believes he’s on another business trip AKA having an affair with his secretary. A mess at being a father and husband. RIP. Has lived in Havensdale aroundabout 18 yrs with his wife and Jess.

Mr & Mrs Thomson (married) - Tessa’s parents. They’re both hunters who’ve been on the road for most of their lives (saving people, hunting things, the family business). Just a fab couple! A supportive, dorky dad and a badass yet super sweet mom. They’re v likable and have been in town for a fair few months now.

[ian-magic-son]

lacy morrison (witch, fc; charisma carpenter)

*bad to the bones plays in the background* Lacy Morrison! It’s Ian, Mark and Meghan’s mom. She is literally the coolest without trying to be cool. She always looks really badass, sounds badass and over revs her old motorcycle like a badass. Is very up to date with trends, gossip and doesn’t try to be hip.

She’s stubborn, she’s unforgiving when her trust is broken but she has a big ole heart. If she loves you, she loves you but hell mend you if you cross her. It’s why she hasn’t forgiven Meghan, why she’s cut her off as a warlock - she wants nothing to do with her (so she keeps telling herself).

Very fun, very spontaneous. Loves pizza, taking trips, magic and old records. Will either be your best friend or you worst enemy, that’s totally up to you. Not to be trifled with!

So in love with her embarrassing nerd of a husband!!! They’re super cute, coupley and gross. OTP material and everyone who’s ever seen them together knows it. They’re each other’s soulmate #bless.

Not one for crying but when Mark died... It was a very dark and difficult time. Having him back now is so wonderful and terrifying she can hardly sleep, worried it’s all going to be a dream. Has been trying her best to relax and adjust to this as the ‘new normal’ but it’s been rough.

Another Havensdale native and she was just as cool in high school. She was always changing her hair colour and wearing something exciting, skipping class and rolling her eyes at gross boys who flirted with her. Basically always in love with Mitch but she’s not a sap, she’d never have said. Probably got into a billion fights. I love her.

[coop-coop-cooper]

claire cooper (shifter, fc; leslie mann)

It’s Mrs Cooper! Claire is the owner of local bakery ‘Claire’s Cakes’ and she is very talented. If you ever needed a custom made cake then she was definitely all over it. She probably brought cupcakes to kindergarten and makes cookies for the football team. If you’re ever in the bakery, she’s definitely chatted away to you about your day and given some mom-ly advice.

An EmbarassingTM Mom. Super involved in Cooper’s life, knows more goss than he does and is very interested in his love life (team Isabel, if you wanted to know!). Is soft about her family, including Cameron who she’s kind about even when he’s behaving terribly cause let’s be honest, she married Chuck Cooper.

Just an absolute cupcake. A worrier. Like Cooper, she’ll volunteer to help out whenever and is a little bit of a pushover. Has lots of friends who’re also parents, probably freaked out every second of Coop’s babyhood and read every parenting blog ever.

A little bit of a conspiracy theorist. The responsible one who keeps the family running and organized. Mr Cooper would be literally lost and in the same shirt every day without her.

A Havensdale native! Was a nerdTM in high school, totally in her own world and full of weird fun facts she’d share with anyone who listened. Was best friends with Mr Cooper since they were tots and Chuck Cooper was Mr Popular so no one messed with her (not that she’d have cared tbh). Is wild when she’s drunk lol!

[gofor-faye]

Felicity Montgomery (fc; Madchen Amick)

You love her, you hate her but you certainly know her - it’s the Montgomery matriarch, Felicity!

Seriously, in the business of the whole of Havensdale. She’s on several committees, involved with the school, with town events, with the Miss Havensdale pageant. Married into a Founding Family so is there for pretty much everything during Founders month (which, IC, starts tomorrow in Havensdale’s June).

A snob!!! Has probably said something passive aggressive to you know even if you didn’t notice at the time. Not here to make friends but also has a shallow friend group that lunches together (let me know if your parent wants in!).

An expert in small talk and keeping other people happy. A socialiteTM. She will talk to you about Elena’s upcoming marriage to Henry Sinclair and about their wonderful summer plans with longtime BFFs and business associates the Vanderbilts.

If Looks Could Kill You Would Be Dead 

Is also showing people pics of Faye and Benjy’s prom luks tonight.

NB: If you knew her in high school, as she’s a Havensdale native, it was a whole other story. She was thee teen rebel. Cool leather jacket, AttitudeTM, PDA-ing with her boyfriend Ethan McArthur all over the school, breaking rules, getting in fights... VERY different from what you see today and if you’re not Inner Circle AND knew her then, you absolutely cannot reference it unless ya wanna die lmao.

alfred ‘fred’ porter (human, fc; jon hamm)

tldr; Fred Porter (married) - the Porter dad! Can you believe there was an original Greg? ‘Cause Fred was breaking hearts, jaws, his own fists and making 1000 mistakes per minute long before his second son was even a thought. He got his act together! He’s a very hard working dad with good, family values who only wants the best for his family. Is so hard on Greg because he sees so much of himself in him tbh. His wife was 100% his saving grace, he loves her so much.

It’s Simon, Greg and Annie’s dad! Everyone around Havensdale knows him, he’s pretty much a DadTM to all. If you need something fixed, some wise advice or a good (terrible) joke- he’s your man!

A popular pillar of the community, he’s very invested in this town. He takes a real interest and has grown to love small town livin’ even if he was a very restless teen.

Has a heart of gold!!! He works hard, he does his best and he couldn’t be prouder of his kids even if... Well, he might not show it so well when it comes to Greg.

He just wants Greg to care, to do something, to not be like he was when he was a kid but damned if they aren’t like father, like son. He’s still majorly disappointed and heartbroken in Greg for that house party/running away fiasco.

A good dad, a good man, an okay dancer! Loves to garden. Goes to an annual gardening show with Jenny’s parents.

Oh, and he’s one of the co-presidents of the ‘I love my wife!!!!! Have you heard about my wife???’ club!

But Fred in high school? : If your Havensdale parents knew him then, he was the original GregTM. He probably dated your character’s moms and dads, or got into a fight with them, or did something to piss ‘em off. Was too cool 4 school! Hung around with Chuck Cooper etc. but also played the broody loner guy very well. Let’s have all the parental history okay!! His wife is the reason he turned it all around though; she’s the best of women and best of wives #bless !

[coop-coop-cooper]

Chuck Cooper (fc; Paul Rudd)

Christian Cooper's dad & Cameron and Callie Cooper's uncle! It would make more sense if he were Cameron’s dad ya’know personality wise lmao. He's a shifter and business studies teacher @Havensdale High.

Literally legendary back in his day for being The Party. You weren't living until you'd done body shots off the back of Chuck Cooper's car. Any parents from Havens would know him for this TBH. The Ricky Beaumont of his time.

Could not be more laidback! Wouldn't ever have a clean t-shirt if it weren't for his wife reminding him he'd worn that one for like, 100 days in a row. Would probably be dead without his wife from lack of remembering to eat, sleep, keep his head on his shoulders.

A cool teacher. A relatable mess who eats instant noodles in class and occasionally takes a nap. Fun lessons though, moves the furniture around his classroom a lot. Much cooler than Cooper.

Lowkey riot. Very lovable. Misses his wife tonight but has chaperoned every prom since starting his job @Havens High.

His wife is Mrs Claire Cooper - owner of the town's bakery "Claire's Cakes"!

Thinks Mr MacDonald looks real life gorgeous tonight. Probably watches Outlander.

Here 2 have fun and hopes Cooper might have at least snuck in a flask of alcopop.
