STORYLINES

FAMILY (OR PRACTICALLY)

DANNY PALMER
djp: This dynamic duo met in high school when Phoebe was a sophomore and Danny a junior. She was good friends with Danny's twin brother, Marc, and they met through him. At first Phoebe harbored a crush on the taller, more poised, and more athletic Palmer twin. They even went on a couple dates and held hands. Danny was her first kiss and she was one of the first people he told that he was gay. Despite the end of their romantic relationship, Phoebe and Danny remained best friends, forming a band together with his brother and another of their high school friends named Ugly Duckling. UD received national recognition after heavy MTV airplay of their single (Here) In Your Arms. Nowadays Ugly Duckling has broken up and even though Phoebe and Danny live in different states and don't get to see one another as much as they would like, they are still like family.

MARC PALMER
muke/mpalmer: Marc Palmer was the first kid that Phoebe met at South Pasadena high school when her family relocated there, they sat next to one another in a third period choir class and he was the only kid who didn't turn his nose up at her because she bought her clothes at Wal-mart. Nerdy and lovable Marc shared Phoebe's passion for music, Jesus (at the time), and all things nerdy (Risk, D&D, sci-fi movies) and the two quickly hit it off. Not long after they met Marc invited Phoebe to play the drums in a new after school band he was starting with his twin named Ugly Duckling. Phoebe agreed and the rest, as they say, was history. Phoebe and Marc had a very special bond that was a mixture of best friend and big brother. He was one of the kindest, most accepting, and compassionate people she's ever known and she was honored to tour the country at his side in Ugly Duckling for 5 years that they were a band. Marc passed away from injuries sustained during a car accident in September of 2008. He was only 23 years old. The news hit Phoebe hard and there's not a day that goes by that she doesn't think about him and miss his smiling face.

CAITLIN DONAHUE
NPC: Caitlin, or Cate as she is better known, is Phoebe's older sister. Only four years her senior, Cate and Phoebe had a very close sisterly relationship when they were little but as they grew they became more and more distant, fighting and sibling rivary flare-ups became common place. Cate was always the apple of their mother's eye, pretty and popular she was a cheerleader in high school (though she did not do as well academically as Phoebe) and married the captain of the basketball team, Rob Donahue, right out of high school. The couple has three daughters, Rebecca, Brittany and Emily, all under age four and currently reside in San Luis Obispo, CA. Phoebe would love nothing more to be close with them since they're the only family she has left, but her sister's judgemental personality and disapproval of Phoebe's life and beliefs continues to make the relationship impossible.

NANCY HOLLINGSWORTH
NPC: Nancy was Phoebe's judgemental, controlling, and sometimes down right cruel mother. Growing up Phoebe and her mother were never close. Nancy was especially hard on her youngest daughter because she took after her father's side of the family in both demeanor and appearance. Her mother was always pushing her to be thinner and more girly, a fact which probably has attributed to the bulimia that Phoebe has battled several times in her life. Nancy was a home economics teacher at the high school that Phoebe attended and believed very strongly in traditional values, as she was a very relgious person. Nancy never once gave Phoebe a word of encouragement growing up, always choosing to pick apart her accomplishments until they were virtually meaningless. All the same, Nancy did love her daughter in her own way and could sometimes, very rarely, be capable of showing Phoebe empathy. Nancy passed away from complications during routine surgery to remove a cancerous mass from her breast in November of 2007.

JOSEPH HOLLINGSWORTH -
NPC: Joe was Phoebe's father, a Coporal in the U.S. Air Force, his job kept their family from bouncing around from military base to military base for a large part of Phoebe's life. Despite the strain his job caused Joe was a family man through and through. Phoebe remembers him as her hero, a wonderful father and role model who always has an encouraging word, and ear to listen to her woes, and a hug to soothe away all her fears. Joe was the person who originally got Phoebe into playing the drums, he had played in bands on the base her whole life and in her desire to immulate him she was eager to learn. Joe have Phoebe drum lessons nightly until she knew how to play just as well as he could. To this day drumming is one of her favorite things to do because in its own way it feels like a tribute to her father. Joe died in a helicopter accident in Iraq in 2003. Phoebe was 16 years old and absolutely devastated. To this day it is without the most difficult thing she has ever gone through. In the aftermath of his death, she began to question God and ultimately lost her faith. She also began to rebel against her mother with tattoos, piercings, and drug experimentation in later years. She has since cleaned up her act and hopes she has grown into a woman her father would be proud of.

MANFRIEND

JAMES MILTON
milton: Thirteen years Phoebe's senior, James and Phoe became the unlikliest of friends during the early winter months of 2008. He was her confidante, made her feel valued and protected, and she was something of a muse for him, waking up a musical sleeping giant that allowed him to finally write songs he liked again after a long drought. James was a fierce opponent of her relationship with Bailey, convinced that the other man did not treat Phoebe right, and Phoebe was enamored by him, his intelligence, his maturity, and the way that he always saw her as a victim in she and Bailey's epic battles. After Phoebe left Bailey, she went to stay with James in hopes of getting over her former boyfriend, but like usual with Phoebe, it wasn't long before she got lonely. She'd always felt a connection with James and tried to build a relationship on it before she was ready. Ultimately both Phoebe and James realized they had been romanticizing the other's flaws and split for good, after only 4 months together, in August of 2008. However, over the next 9 months, neither Phoebe nor James forgot about the intense connection they shared, or the feelings they had for one another. In March 2009 while Phoebe was performing a string of residency shows, she invited James to a show to play with her. During his trip to Portland they were finally able to put the past behind them and move forward. They have been together officially since late March and living together in the Beachwood Canyon neighborhood of Los Angeles since June 2009.

THE EXES

ALEX DOHRETY

He lives in LA and she still sees him while she's in town, they had an amiable break up and remain good friends.

MAX
genovino: Although it was never explicitly said, Max played a large factor in the break up of Alex and Phoebe. He was the frontman for a famous band that Ugly Duckling played a festival show with. Phoebe was immediately attracted to his bad boy persona, yet the soft, attentive person he was when he was around her. She didn't even care that he had a severe drug problem, doing her best to deny it and even getting caught up in drugs herself along the way. Of course It didn't help her case that she found him to be completely gorgeous and charming. After their first meeting Phoebe found herself going out of her way to see Max, and for about the last 6 months of her relationship with Alex, she was harboring a severe crush, but he seemed oblivious. Phoebe spent almost 2 years pining for Max until he finally woke up and smelled the roses. They got together for a brief but intense summer in 2007, yet ultimately split because his problem with drugs was more than she felt she could handle.

BAILEY RIAIN

They were both seeing other people and the time and going through a lot, he always knew how to make her laugh and take her mind off the things bothering her. It wasn't long before both parties began to develop stronger feelings and before she knew he'd left his girlfriend and promised her the world, she was 7 years his junior, but still agreed to take it eagerly. Over the course of the seven months that they were together they experienced enough hardship for a lifetime. Her mother died, he was diagnosed with cancer, and she had a miscarriage due to a car accident for which she was at fault. Despite everything the couple insisted that they were meant for one another and got engaged on Valentine's Day of 2008. Only a month and half later vicious words said during an arguement broke them up for good.

THE OTHERS

AUBREY LAINE - aubreylaine Secretly Phoebe hated Aubrey from the moment the Aussie appeared on her radar. Phoe was convinced that she had a thing for Bailey the entire time they were dating, and when Aubrey and Bailey began seeing each other not long after the two of them split, her disdain for the girl exploded. She was convinced that Aubrey had been waiting in the wings to strike when the iron was hot. It took a long time for Phoebe to get over Bailey, and put aside her jealousy and belief that Aubrey was all wrong for him. When Bailey passed, he told Phoebe some choice words that Aubrey had to say to him and how it had made him feel and after he died, it infuriated Phoebe even more to the point that even seeing Aubrey's face makes her want to gag. It took a long time, but finally Phoebe was able to see that nothing that happened was Aubrey's fault, and the two have finally attempted to bury the hatchet.

LEO KING - lking - Their personalities and beliefs could not be more different, and they just clash on all levels. Leo calls her names and she takes every opportunity to tell him he's an asshole that she gets, but ultimately neither of them affect the other a whole lot.
