Who are the characters in the show you ask? Characters:
CHARLES LANSING: Devious millionaire with lots of enemies.
LT. KENNETH PARIS: In charge of the investigation; a gruff man, his humor sardonic. Beneath the hard exterior there is a warmth that he reveals when dealing with some of the suspects, the Williams in particular.
EVELYN LANSING: An attractive woman, mid-30s, intelligent, and shrewd. She attempts to play the bereaved widow for Lt. Paris, but doesn’t bother to hide her true nature from the others.
CAROLYN BASCOMB: Reserved in manner and appearance. She keeps her emotions under control, and is capable of exhibiting a somewhat cool detachment from the others. She is strong, but never hard or harsh. We can see the warm feelings she has for Craig and Laura.
CRAIG WILLIAMS: Mid-20s, but he is a child emotionally. Very likable, but is nervous and easily frightened.
LAURA WILLIAMS: A year or two older than her brother, but the responsibility of caring for him has given her an air of maturity. She is attractive, good natured, and seemingly innocent.
MADAM ARCADIA: Gray-haired, of indeterminate age. She is a spiritualist and looks the part, dressing flamboyantly. Her belief in spiritualism must never appear phony. She is used to dealing with skeptics, and their barbs leave her totally unruffled.
FENTON MARSHBANKS: A hard-working old gentleman who, like his wife, Minnie, is from the old country. They worked for Craig and Laura’s mother, Ava, long before she ever married her second husband, Charles Lansing.
MINNIE MARSHBANKS: In her 60s, with white hair and wire-rim glasses. Has a Cockney accent that becomes more pronounced when she gets nervous or excited which is often.
