Hey readers, we’re back with another episode of the If We Were Villains deep dive. Between the theatrical performances and borderline concerning level of Shakespearean recitations between friends, our acting troupe is used to dedicating themselves to their roles.

But now, the lines are truly beginning to blur. What happens when James shows up at Oliver’s door over Thanksgiving break? Relationships are straining, with Meredith and Oliver attempting to go on a real date… But it couldn’t possibly really mean anything.. Right? James seems to think so.

Plus, the troupe performs a scene from Romeo and Juliet for the Christmas Masque, only for Oliver to come to a shocking realization during James’ portrayal of Romeo. Alexander’s substance abuse issues get out of hand, and Wren’s health declines as the rest of the cast begins to unravel.

Hey readers! This week, there’s trouble brewing at Dellecher Classic Conservatory...And our theater troupe is embroiled in some serious drama.

Richard has taken to harassing James and Meredith on stage and he seems to be getting away with it. Oliver, who is beginning to recognize he cares deeply about both of them, is thrown into the line of fire despite his belief that he’s powerless to do anything to protect them. Plus, is Oliver in complete denial about his feelings for James, or are we crazy?

Richard has taken things too far, and the stage is set for disaster as they try to navigate his mood swings and borderline Shakespearian tantrums. But now that Richard isn’t getting his way, how far will he take things to get the roles he wants? And what is the group going to do about it… if anything?
