Meet the characters from Carole & Tuesday

Carole Stanley

Carole is the quietly brilliant half of the duo — always fingers on the keys, nails probably stained with coffee and the faint smell of motor oil because she’s practical like that. She’s grounded, logical, and somehow both stoic and low-key dramatic when a chord hits just right (yes, she cries during practice sometimes, don’t tell anyone). Loves solving problems and hates small talk but will hum a killer harmony while fixing a busted amp, which I swear is her secret superpower. She’s loyal to a fault, suspicious of flash but secretly enjoys a good, ridiculous pop chorus now and then.

Tuesday Simmons

Tuesday is pure heart on stage and off, this sweet, dreamy singer who looks like she belongs in a retro poster but has the fierce stubbornness of someone who won’t quit. She’s unfailingly optimistic and naïve-ish in the best way — like, she trusts people until they make her regret it, but she learns fast. Her wardrobe is a storybook (and probably has a ribbon for every mood), and she might actually talk to plants backstage, which is adorable and slightly theatrical. Big feelings, big voice, and somehow both fragile and harder than most of the cynical folks around her.

Gus Goldman

Gus is the frantic, lovable music nerd who lives in spreadsheets and late-night inspiration, equal parts hype-man and mad scientist of sound. He’s obsessed with making things happen, which means ten plans at once and a billion sticky notes, also possibly a conspiracy board with song ideas and snacks. Charismatic, intense, slightly chaotic, he’ll hype you up one minute and obsess over a mic placement the next — watch out, he’s both annoyingly organized and a total chaos magnet. He definitely cries at good harmonies and loudly insists he’s “just tired” when he’s actually been building a new concept album in his head.

Roddy

Roddy is the polished, glitzy pop face — camera-ready, dramatic, a little performative, but honestly kind of endearing when he’s being real (which is rare but golden). He’s practiced at being glamorous and sometimes it feels like his public sweetness is a costume, but then he slips and you see the awkward, vulnerable person underneath, and it makes everything complicated. Loves attention, hates being ignored, claims he’s “anti-Instagram” while having the most curated feed you’ve ever seen. He can be shallow and also painfully sincere in private, which is the best/worst combo for drama.

Angela Carpenter

Angela is the sleek, ambitious starlet type — immaculate, sharp, and always ten steps ahead with a smile that can cut and console in the same breath. She’s polished and a little ruthless in business (fashion-forward and a bit of a perfectionist), but there are cracks — she’s anxious, overworked, and sometimes confesses a guilty love for cheesy karaoke when nobody’s around. Has the kind of voice and stage presence that makes people hush, and also collects weird little tchotchkes for reasons she can’t explain. She’s the kind of character who calls every shot but will quietly panic if something goes off-script.

Tao

Tao is the cool, slightly aloof songwriter with a computer and a dream, part poet, part hacker (maybe a sandwich enthusiast, maybe not — depends on the day). He’s sardonic, observant, and low-key brilliant at turning weird little life slices into killer lyrics, plus he has that smoker-poet vibe even if he hasn’t smoked in weeks. Kind of cynical about the industry but deeply in love with honest music, and he’ll nitpick a melody for hours — and then casually drop a verse that floors you. He’s the “I don’t care” guy who obviously cares a lot; inconsistent, irresistible, and quietly loyal.

Dahlia Carpenter

Dahlia is the towering pop icon — flawless, commanding, a living billboard of glamour who’s been running the game for ages and mostly owns it. She’s tough as diamonds and softer than you’d expect around people she loves, which is rare and kind of devastating when it happens (like she’ll throw you a compliment and then apologize for being sentimental). She’s strategic and brilliant at branding, but also has these weird, tender rituals — tea at midnight, collecting random postcards — that make her human. Scary in public, secretly nostalgic in private, and always, always on-brand (but maybe hums old lullabies when no one’s listening).
