[edit] Characters
Mattie Jensen -- Mattie is a friend of Nancy's Aunt Eloise, and star of the soap opera, "Light of Our Love". She is the one who calls Nancy out on the case. Mattie is very worried about the threats her co-star, Rick Arlen, has been receiving. She is renting out Aunt Eloise's apartment in New York.
Rick Arlen -- Rick is the one who has been getting death threats, although he's not worried about them. He, along with Mattie, stars in the soap opera, "Light of Our Love." Rick used to have a relationship with both Mattie and Lillian. His name and looks are most likely taken from the American silent/talking movie actor Richard Arlen.
Dwayne Powers -- Dwayne is Mattie's agent and runs a talent agency. He has a strong dislike of Rick Arlen.
Millie Strathorn -- Millie is an eccentric old lady that is the owner and prop room master of World Wide Web. She also has a special dislike for Rick.
Lillian Weiss -- Lillian is the director of "Light of our Love" at World Wide Web. She is known to have a temper, and attends anger management class. She was Rick's girlfriend at one point, but broke up with him.
Owen Spayder -- Owen has recently been employed by the Dwayne Powers Agency.
Bess and George -- Bess and George are Nancy's best friends, and are phone friends in this game. They can be called to get hints on puzzles and/or what to do next.
