Breakdown

Female, late 20s to late 30s. Darlene is a year-round 'Scrooge'.

RUFUS JETER

JACKSON ''JACKIE'' BOUDREUAX
Male, 40 to 50-something. Jackie is a self-made man and an all-American success story. He took a simple idea and turned it into a thriving local breastaurant chain.

BETTY
Female, 38-50-something. Betty has lived at Armadillo Acres for at least 20 years. Part hard-ass, part mother hen, she's the leasing manager at the trailer park and she makes it her business to know everything about everybody who passes through.

LINOLEUM
Female, 30s to early-40s. Mostly known as just ''Lin,'' she was formerly a death row wife until the State of Florida flipped the switch on her husband Earl and made her a death row widow. Generally speaking, Lin is the fieriest of all the girls.

DONNA a.k.a. ''PICKLES''
Female, early 20s. Pickles is a devout believer in Santa Claus and of all the girls, she is the most airy and wide-eyed.
