Felicia “Flick” Coyle

Role & Schedule:

  • Morning Receptionist & Part-Time Office Coordinator: Flick handles the front-desk reception duties each morning. Once her phone work is done, she transitions to office coordinator duties, reporting directly to the CFO.

Personality & Characteristics:

  • Abrasive, Cocky & Sarcastic: Flick is known for her sharp tongue and no-nonsense attitude. She’s quick with a sarcastic remark and unapologetically direct, often doing things her own way even if it frustrates her colleagues.
  • Self-Reliant & Unwilling to Do Favors: When coworkers ask her to “do them a favor”—for instance, to not forward a call—she might deliberately ignore the request. She operates strictly on her own terms.
  • Well-Meaning When It Counts: Despite her rough edges, Flick genuinely cares about the TPL team. When someone is in a real bind, she steps in with practical advice and support, delivered in her trademark sarcastic style.

Potential Screen Time Moments:

  • Handling a chaotic morning rush with biting humor and a few choice words that both amuse and caution newcomers.
  • Deliberately “misdirecting” calls as a way of asserting her control, leaving coworkers both frustrated and secretly appreciative of her unfiltered approach.
  • Offering unexpected guidance to a stressed employee—delivered with a mix of sarcasm and sincerity that reveals her caring side.

Brayden Locke

Role & Schedule:

  • Afternoon Receptionist: Brayden covers Flick’s lunch break and takes over the afternoon shift. She avoids morning work due to her active night-life as a club promoter and aspiring disc jockey.

Orientation & Identity:

  • Inclusive & Proud: Brayden is an openly proud lesbian who embraces her identity. She is a free thinker with a creative, nonconformist attitude.

Personality & Characteristics:

  • Creative & Geeky: Outside of her reception duties, Brayden immerses herself in her creative pursuits—sketching spontaneous marker renderings, attending club gigs, and discussing graphic novels.
  • Observant & Independent: She’s the quiet observer during her shifts, noting the nuances of office dynamics. Although she admires Jaxon and his creative team, she isn’t inclined to be tied down by conventional roles.
  • Future Collaboration Catalyst: While she initially prefers to keep her work separate from the creative team, circumstances eventually force her to step in when Jaxon faces a crisis. Her brilliant marker sketches impress him, leading to a unique deal where she works on creative projects at the reception desk—with full autonomy and extra compensation—which stokes friction with the CFO.

Potential Screen Time Moments:

  • Covering the afternoon shift with a laid-back, cool vibe, sharing witty observations about the office’s late-night antics.
  • Casually mentioning her club gigs and art projects, endearing her to colleagues who appreciate her free-spirited nature.
  • Stepping up unexpectedly to rescue a project when Jaxon is in trouble, marking the beginning of a unique creative role that challenges corporate norms.
