CHARACTER BIO

Tough is often the first word used to describe Liza. Despite a WASPy, priveleged upbringing, her absentee father and mother's constant affairs (including one with Liza's high school boyfriend, Tad) gave Liza a thick skin - and a sense of ruthlessness in achieving what she wants (blackmail and lying about rape charges are just the tip of the iceberg). Lest you think she's a total terror, underneath all the shady dealings and lies is a woman that's extremely vulnerable.

The Good

  • Her daughter, Colby.
  • Repairing her relationship with her mother after years of estrangement.

The Bad and the Ugly

  • Falsely accused Jesse Hubbard of rape.
  • Her mother's affair with Liza's boyfriend, Tad.
  • Years of manipulation by her ex-husband, Adam Chandler

Friends

  • Tad Martin: Friend
  • Jake Martin: Friend
  • Colby Chandler: Daughter
