Welcome to Milliken Mills: Meet the Residents

It's time to meet the residents of Milliken Mills.

Nathan Nolan

Since the age of 18, Nathan has been driven to succeed, taking control of the Milliken Mills Times newspaper. Today, Nolan Publishing stands as one of the largest publishing companies in the country, a testament to his ambition and establishing Nathan as the most powerful man in Milliken Mills.

Jackie Nolan

Jackie is married to Nathan and is the mother of Thomas and Tina. Often feeling like the neglected wife, Jackie seeks her own identity in Milliken Mills beyond merely being known as 'Nathan's wife.'

Thomas Nolan

Thomas, the entitled son of Nathan and Jackie, has been groomed to eventually take over Nolan Publishing, but his immaturity, impatience, and issues with the ladies often lead him into trouble. He shares a strong bond with his best friends, Eddie Drake and Cody Connor.

Melanie Wilson

Melanie is the niece of George Wilson, the owner of the Milliken Mills Enquirer. For years, Nathan Nolan has been attempting to take over the paper, as it stands as the only rival in the town. Melanie once dated Thomas Nolan during college before mysteriously disappearing. Now she has returned...with a plan.

Lacy Hanna

Lacy is a spitfire who takes no prisoners. She harbored a deep resentment towards the Nolans due to Nathan's affair with her mother, which caused her a tumultuous childhood and led to her Daddy's life unraveling. During her college years, she dated Thomas, but eventually left town for a while. Now, she has returned.
