Synopsis: 

In the seemingly quiet town of Bere Knighton there is never a dull moment for Dr. Richard Forth. Not only does he have a hectic work schedule and an awkward friendship with his ex-girlfriend, but his wife, Barbara, is constantly ill and nobody knows what is wrong with her. When Eric Dawson, a stranger, claims to have known Richard's second fiancée—a woman Richard claims does not exist—Barbara's health worsens and she isn't the only one. With bad luck spreading almost as quickly as bad news, it seems somebody is out to kill Barbara, and anyone else who gets in their way.

 Barbara Forth

(30s) - Married to Dr. Richard Forthe (his 2nd wife.) Anxious and plagued with health problems ever since she married the good doctor.   

 Dr. Richard Forth (30s) – Married to Barbara. The local doctor for the town. Short tempered, with an awkward friendship with his ex-girlfriend Julia Moore. Richard's first wife died under mysterious circumstances.
 Dorothy Livingston (45) – Local charwoman. Friendly. Full of gossip and common sense
 Mary Haigh (late 60s) – Friend of Barbara and Richard. Also in on the local gossip and full of double-edged compliments. Handles the conversation for both her and her husband Allen.
 Alan Haigh (late 60s) Married to Mary. Likeable. Obsessed with his bowling game.
 Eric Dawson (40s) - Computer Salesman. A seemingly nice, sweet guy.
 Julia Moore (about 45) - Wealthy Socialite (who demonstrates it through her lifestyle). Richard's ex-girlfriend. Still in love with Richard, but with enough taste to not be obvious about it.
