REVILL - "TAMMY LANCASTER"Prior to her untimely demise, Fiona had severely enjoyed her time working with the Lovestruck cast and crew, and had found them to be beautifully trained.

She would have liked to thank everyone involved in this production, but unfortunately passed away in a barn under mysterious circumstances.  WIL
CARLOS - "VICTOR CRANCY"Before disappearing without a trace into the woods, Wil Carlos was very happy to have the chance to work on a show as fun as Lovestruck, with a great cast, generous crew, and that funny director guy who laughed so much during rehearsal!

Wil has been pronounced dead and his assets divided by family members.  JOANNA
