Ruccolo then is set as her husband, Jay Clements - "Early 30s-Late 40s, any ethnicity. Rita's husband, and the father of Hallie and Shannon, Jay is a handsome former jock who now spends his days working 9 to 5 in a jacket and tie. He has a warped sense of humor, which comes in handy while trying to keep up with his family of warped women. A guy who wanted to play guard for the Pistons, but who now sells car insurance, Jay initially thinks that Rita's disaffection represents an abdication of her responsibilities as a wife and mother. But after realizing that something buried deep inside Rita demands to be let out, Jay accepts the fact that her plea for some "Rita Time" is a necessity for her, not a luxury." - with Martin as Patty Mannix - "Late 20s-Late 40s, African-American. The local postal carrier, Patty is a charismatic woman who can't seem to stay out of other people's business. Usually seen in blue shorts and shirt with knee-high socks, Patty is garrulous, amiable, cheerful and outgoing, and her checkered past has given her a host of anecdotes, most of which unwittingly portray Patty as a scattered busybody with low impulse control - just what the job of "rock star" demands. A keyboardist whose none too thrilled with her current form of employment, she cajoles Rita to follow her bliss, and before long the two of them are rocking out together in Rita's garage." Jim Berg and Stan Zimmerman are behind the multi-camera project, which is set up at Media Rights Capital.

Next up is Turman as Lt. Miller - "50s, the EMT Commander. is understaffed and over-challenged, and he clearly believes in kicking the ducklings into the deep end at the first opportunity, ready or not. A man who apparently believes that an incompetent, under-trained, utterly baffled EMT is better than no EMT at all, Miller orders Wayne into action with no body armor and no training and even less supervision." Rounding out the group are Williams and Muller as Joan and Svetlana, respectively, two unspecified characters. Zack Braff is directing the ABC Studios-based half-hour from a script by his brother, Adam Braff. The pair then are executive producing alongside Emile Levisetti.
