**Charles Rocket** is an American actor, comedian and television news reporter possibly best known for his short tenure as a cast member on "Saturday Night Live" and his appearances in the movies"Dumb and Dumber" and "Hocus Pocus."

Born Charles Adams Claverie August Rocket in Bangor, Maine on August 28, 1949, Rocket attended the Rhode Island School of Design and became a part of the Rhode Island underground culture scene in the 1970s which also included "Talking Heads" front man David Byrne and film director Gus Van Sant. He went on to make several short films and formed a music band, "The Fabulous Motels," in which he performed with an accordion.

In 1972, he married his college girlfriend, Beth Crellin, on board the battleship USS Massachusetts anchored in Fall River, Massachusetts; they later had a son, Zane.in 1972.

In 1980 under the name Charles Rocket, he auditioned to be a cast member for "Saturday Night Live" where he was discovered by executive producer Jean Doumanian. Because of his news experience, he was tapped to anchor Weekend Update, and due to his good looks, he was featured in more sketches than any other male cast member that season with the exception of Joe Piscopo. His highlights on the series included impressions of Ronald Reagan, David Rockefeller, Prince Charles, and Marlon Perkins. He also created segments known as "The Rocket Report,” where he posed as a roving reporter around New York, considered one of the few consistently strong parts of his tenure. On February 21, 1981, however, he used an expletive in the show's closing tag that lead to his dismissal. With the show's declining ratings, director Dick Ebersol replaced Doumanian, leading to the further dismissal of Rocket and two more cast members, Denny Dillon and Gail Matthius.

Donna McKenzie

**Donna McKenzie** is an American television actress and spokesmodel best known for playing Annie Houghton in the TV series, Beyond Our Dreams.

Born in Warren, Michigan in 1958, she attended Lincoln High School in the 1970s with Jack Gable. Through their school years, Jack had a long unrequited infatuation on Donna. Unfortunately, McKenzie eventually ended up dating and marrying Greg Patulla, the school quarterback. The two of them later had two children.

Patulla later got a job at McKenzie Pools And Spas, the company created and run by Donna's father. He later started using her as the McKenzie Girl in TV Commercials for the company, allowing her to become a local media celebrity due to the commercials which also ran in Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana, making millions of dollars for the company. The TV commercials became so popular that Donna was often allowed to appear in other TV spots for Pepsi, Burger King, Nabisco and Atari.

Buoyed by her TV popularity, Donna yearned to be an actual actress, but she was turned down in numerous auditions. However, by the 90s, her father's swimming pool company was struggling financially, and the popularity of her TV appearances was waning. In 1991, she had a bizarre dream she had made an appearance on Jack's TV show, Beyond Our Dreams, in New York City while dressed in her old cheerleader outfit. Believing this was a omen, she convinced Greg to take her on a business trip to New York City where she tried reuniting with Jack, encountering him and Louise Fletcher coming out of the studio. Asking for Jack's help into breaking into the business, he offered her the part of Annie Houghton, a lesbian maid that falls in love with Laura Claybourne's character, a role turned down by actress Brenda Becker. Although Jack gave her the limited part to placate her, Donna's natural comedic timing and personality came through the character, and she made the role more popular than he had expected. Staying through to the end of the series, Donna also had roles in the TV shows "Psycho Dad," "McKenzie Falls," "Incredible Stories" and "Zombie High" and appearances in the movies "Jungle Joanie," "Custodians of the Cosmos 2" and "The Chaser."

Shortly after her cameo in "Beyond Our Dreams: Return to Ashford Falls," Donna took a break from acting to take a vacation with her kids. Being with them reminded her how much she loved being a mom and she gave up acting, having become burned out on it. Having become wealthy since the sale of her father's company, she retired to become a full-time mom and return to Warren, Michigan.

Carolyn Stoddard

*"We all go a little mad. It's just not a good idea to show it." - Carolyn Stoddard*

**Carolyn Stoddard** is the daughter of Paul and Elizabeth Collins-Stoddard and the owner of the estate of Collinwood, having become a recluse with the deaths of her family. She was one of several parallel time characters seen at Thornewood Hall in the Winter of 1998.

Not much is known about Carolyn's life. She was born in or around 1980 and lived alone with her mother, uncle and cousin on the estate of Collinwood until the arrival of their relative from England in 1990. His arrival brought a number of undisclosed accidents and fatalities that took the life of her mother and cousin and then her uncle and her relative. She married her boyfriend, Joe Haskell, shortly thereafter, but he died under mysterious circumstances. After living alone for a while, she learned she had a half-sister named Victoria, who fled Collinwood after learning an unrevealed dark secret.

Carolyn was the first of the supernatural presences to haunt Thornewood Hall during the alleged over-lapping of parallel time-lines described by Professor D. B. Moore at Thornewood Hall. Seen going up and down the stairs to the attic and roaming around the basement while dressed in a long black dress, she was seen several times by David Woods and Amanda Hackett, and once by Monica Woods who tried confronting her. Dr. Samantha Oh called her the most sinister of the characters seen in the period. During these events, she clashed with Barnabas Collins and Caroline Stoddard, both from separate realities.

She was last seen in January 1999.
Hainesville

**Hainesville** is a semi-remote village in San Bernardino County north of Los Angeles and south west of San Bernardino, California. Located in the San Gabriel Mountains, it rests on Route 63 (Mount Baldy Road) between the towns of Mount Baldy and Cajon Springs on Route 2. Mostly a winter resort town surrounded by winter homes and mountain cabin, it has a population of 5,173 people.

According to local council member Mike Thomas, the town was founded during the California Gold Rush of the 1850s, but it saw great prosperity in the 1940s when tourists started visiting town as a vacation spot for skiing. The town is surrounded on all sides by mountains, and weather and landslides sometimes hinder access to the town. In the summer months, the town throws the David and Goliath Fair attracting merchants and entreprenuers as well as tourists. A tradition since 1963, the celebration is loosely based on an incident between rival teenagers that occurred in the Sixties. Although a mountain community, the town has a very Midwestern layout with streets and neighborhoods around a courthouse and town square. Local landmarks include the Old Sterling Bicycle Factory, the Howard Mining Museum, the Gilmore Drug Store, the Doherty Dress Shop and the old Harmon Theater near the square which is supposed to be haunted. The local hospital is the Allegius Medical Health Center located off the south end of town. Lawyer Frank Latimer died in a plane crash north of town while doing business for Allegius with Hedison Pharmaceuticals.

In 2005, Melissa Strickland chose Hainesville as a place to take a skiing vacation with friends, but the trip was really a cover for her to gather research on Nancy Archer, a missing heiress with whom she had briefly become obsessed. According to an informant, Archer's disappearance was reportedly linked to events concerning a local Hainesville grade school teacher named Merrie Jo Bond as well as to a Utah heiress named Emmy Pinsetter and Dorothy Pierce, a veterinarian in Ashford Falls, New York among other women. Suspecting a conspiracy of some sort, Melissa tried to get Mike to introduce her to Merrie Jo to interview her, but distractions and consequences prevented them from meeting.
John Durbin

**John Durbin** is an American actor possibly best known for his roles in 80s and 90s television, such as Gul Lemec in a two-part episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation."

Not much is known about Durbin's career. He was born John Jackson in Council Bluffs, Iowa around 1955 and attended acting classes through high school. His first known role was in the film "Rock 'n' Roll Hotel" which was followed by a role as a zombie in the cult horror flick "The Return of the Living Dead."

Bachelor's Grove Mansion

**Bachelor's Grove Mansion** is an old turn-of-the-century mansion located at southern tip of Winchester Lake north of Ashford Falls, New York. Not much is known about the structure or its history due to a lot of conflicting information about it from various locals, even regard to its location. One of several empty mansions in the area, it has been referred to over the years as the Winchester Mansion, the Haverstraw Mansion, the Old Winchester Place, the Old Tisdale House, the Old Trousdale House, the Old Lady Tiedemann Place, the Warren County Outhouse, the Highway House, the Canyon House and the Mansion by the Lake.

Among the people who known about the house, most local references place it by the lake in Bachelor's Grove, a forest preserve off Haverstraw Road. However, two other likely erroneous references place it close to Addamsville to the west while yet another reference places it south of town on Highway 12, possibly confusing it with the Elk Brook Lodge.

Located at the end of a long winding and twisty road through thick woodland, the mansion has long been considered abandoned, but it is still completely furnished albeit with extreme neglect to the exterior. It has popped up in numerous references and dialogue among the immediate locals. Among these anecdotes are:

* Sheriff David Carmichael once told Steven Roarke to regularly check the house for squatters presiding there
* Both Gabe Jameson and Bradley Larabee have boasted to have explored the house
* The Cable Guy once got lost and ended up here; erroneously installing cable services for the house
* Dr. Albert Waverly said his favorite fishing spot was in the cliffside shadow by the house. He told Dr. Alan Fairwood that had visited the place several times when it was known as the Old Tisdale House
* Jason Pryde told Marcia Caldwell that he sometimes took dates up there and to have wild parties in the house without supervision
* In Carter Hedison's dream reality, Rachel Hedison tried negotiating a deal to buy the house and property from the county to prevent Carter Hedison from acquiring it for a potential lakeside club. She called it the Tiedemann House, implying the family was its original owners.
* Samantha Strickland once checked out the house looking for members of the Children of the Sun
* Ted Shaw once told Russell Coleman he would never live in the house, "not even as a ghost"

Mayor Lionel Creekmore, based on his extensive knowledge on the history of the town, claimed the site was the Old Trousdale House, and that it was built in the 1880s by a railroad and shipping magnate, whose family lost the residence in the 1920s due to his unpaid taxes. However, Quentin Woods claimed the house actually dated back to the 1860s, and that it was one of the original homes of the Hedison Family. However, Melanie Fairwood, a member of the local Fine Arts Ladies League, and the historian at the Ashford Falls Public Library, has long confirmed it was built in the 1880s and it was the childhood home of Mayor James Hood, who served the city in the Thirties and Forties.

Main Street

**Main Street** is one of the streets in Ashford Falls, New York. It forms the northern boundary of Ashford Falls Town Square and runs from the end of Donahue Street to Church Street where it becomes Commerce Street, once considered part of Main Street. It includes the business and institutions Ashford Falls Realty Company, the Ashford Falls Post Office, the Ashford Falls Bank, Ashford Falls Pharmacy, Corrine's Beauty Shop, Ludlow's Candy Shop, Cunningham Hardware, the New York Delicatessen (the former furniture store) and Dorothy Pierce's veterinary offices. The Ashford Falls Falls Newspaper was formerly based in the space over the drugstore.

Built in the 1910s as part of a local building boon, the structures all face the town square, divided by Alley Drive running to the commercial businesses behind Main Street. An alley next to the hardware store serves as a walking shortcut to the businesses in back. In the 80s, Mayor Lionel Creekmore passed several bills that affected Main Street. For one, the excessive truck traffic up Highway 12 ruined what he considered the idyllic quality of life in the square and he had the highway redirected one road over with an excessive landscaping project and a few new buildings. He also had the existing structures on Main Street protected and provided provisions that helped the owners keep the locations in repair in perpetuity, but in 1991, the New York Delicatessen mysteriously and inexplicably appeared over night; it's outside art deco exterior style replacing the original historic brownstone style of the square. Heidi Shumaker of the Town Council had an investigation of the building permits pulled for an investigation and tried to have the eatery shut down for building violations to the town code, but when it was revealed that former Mayor Creekmore frequently ate at the deli, her investigation became futile.

Over the years, the area around the square has been used for several civic and community gatherings. The teenagers at Ashford Falls High School have used in in their yearly car washes, and the local Fine Arts Ladies League has held auctions here for various community functions, such as raising more money for the library. In 1991, Jack Gable donated his Ferrari to the league, later buying it back and raising a million dollars for the library.

Louise Fletcher

**Louise Renee Fletcher** is an American actress and singer best known for her role as Janet Dubois on the TV series Beyond Our Dreams. She is also known for supporting roles in the movies "Best and Personal," "Dorothy" and the 2000 mini-series, "Union Wars."

Fletcher was born September 11, 1961 in Nashville, Tennessee, the third of seven children born to Robert and Dawn Fletcher. Her father was the preacher at a small church and Louise started singing and entertaining in church groups and fairs at the age of 14. She also spent part of her life living near Ridgetop, Tennessee, learning to ride horses and take care of animals. She attended Station Camp High School, later studying acting and dance at Daymar College.

Traveling with friends to break into the business in New York City, Fletcher lived with five struggling actors in a west side loft apartment as she took acting classes and went on auditions. She starred in commercials for "Pepsi," "Burger King," "Blockbuster Video" and "Timex" while working as a background character and extra on TV shows like "Psycho Dad," "Galaxy Quest" and "The Jackie Thomas Show."

In 1990, Fletcher auditioned for and got the role of Janet DuBois on Beyond Our Dreams during its final season, developing a friendship with show creator Jack Gable. One of the reasons she reportedly got the job was based on her ability to ride a horse. She received notice for her acting in the series and was nominated as "Best Newcomer" for the Golden Globe Award that year. Her highest profile role came with her role in "Staten Island," a romantic comedy directed by Richard Crosby.

Although she has worked steadily for several years, Fletcher has struggled to find further roles that kept her in the spotlight. In 1995, she starred in Beyond Our Dreams: Return to Ashford Falls, once again playing Janet, and "Glamor" with Oliver Cohen and Jack Gates. She appeared several times on television and had four short lived shows, "Prudence" from 1990 to 1992, "Thena: Warrior Goddess" from 1993 to 1996, "Fossils" from 2003 to 2005 and "CSI: Nashville" from 2010 to 2012. Between 2013 to 2015, she starred in three movies, "Running From Cuba," "Papa Woody" and "Finding Future" which garnered good reviews from the critics but yet struggled at the box office.
A devout Christian, Fletcher has been married to Kevin Crossman, a stuntman she had been seeing since she starred on "Thena: Warrior Goddess" since December 9, 1994. They have two children: Bree (born 1997) and Langton (born 1999). She has also dabbled in writing and behind the scenes work on the prime-time soap "Deep Powder" with her "Beyond Our Dreams" co-stars Leigh Costello and Stan Freeman.

George Albert

*"How would you like another hamburger?" - George Albert*

**George Albert** is a Christian preacher and social worker from Philadelphia as well as a professional Santa Claus. Well-known for his charitable pursuits, he was an unofficial foster father to Ty Hedison, later taking his experience as his mentor to help other troubled teenagers.

Born in 1931 in Georgetown, Colorado, Albert dropped out of high school to join the United States Army and rose to the rank of drill sergeant before he left the service. At some point in his life, he had a daughter, Mavis Albert out of wedlock with Theodosia Dunn, the daughter of a well-to-do family in Memphis, Tennessee, but he lost contact with her over the years while stationed in Japan. After his tour of service was over, he tried her tracking her down, but the Dunn Family had moved away from Memphis for points west.

Using his pension, Albert opened Al's Place, a diner on Tenth Street in Philadelphia. At some time in the 1980s, Albert met Ty Hedison trying to hold up his diner near closing. Living on the streets since his escape from the Edmonds School For Wayward Boys, Ty had been encouraged to hold up the place by Nicole Browne for money to travel to California. However, upon meeting Ty, Albert responded calmly and civilized, talking down Ty to give up his gun, sit down and have a hamburger. Responding with kindness, Albert became friends with Ty and gave him a job working with him and a home in his storeroom. Behind the scenes, however, Ty kept seeing Nicole and after almost a year, she convinced Ty to leave Philadelphia and fight for his share of of his inheritance in Ashford Falls.

For several years, Albert had no idea what had happened to Ty, and after retiring and selling the diner, he started working a part-time job as a projectionist at the local movie house while continuing to preach on the side. In 1991, he was contacted by Dr. Julius Hoffman at Ardmore Sanitarium where Ty had ended up after a nervous breakdown. Traveling to the hospital, Albert was joined by Bradley Larrabee, Ty's cousin and childhood friend in giving Ty the support he needed to recuperate and once more leave the hospital.

Sadly, Albert passed away in 1995 shortly after helping Ty, and he was buried near Georgetown close to his family. With his death, Mavis inherited the bulk of his estate. Traveling to Ashford Falls, she met Ty and told him just how much he meant to her father and leaving him with her father's military dog tags and scrapbook of his life.
