Jessica Fortunato, Lizzy Marlantes, Lacey Tucker, and Micheal Wertheim shared 13 roles between them. Fortunato played the plastic talk-show hostess of "Hello New York" memorably. Marlantes' performance as Lisa, Scoop's spunky Southern belle wife, was particularly touching as she discovers her husband's philandering ways.
