Year 1: Tom has had aspirations of being a costume designer on a film set since he was 9 years old. However, when he is offered the opportunity to be in front of the camera for a movie, he loves it so much that he decides to completely switch job routes. The movie does so well that he is offered a job as a recurring supporting role in a TV show and he immediately accepts.

DH [23]: Robin Nicholas Walker

DH [27]: Thomas Samuel Middleton "Tom"
costume designer --> actor
***
Year 2: The show Tom is in is doing extremely well after its first season. Tom's character is promoted to a main character, which is wonderful. Part of this, though, means that the couple has to move to Australia, which is where much of the show is filmed. Robin doesn't mind, because he can make his music from anywhere.

Eleanor named the baby Charlotte Elizabeth, and everyone affectionately calls her Charlie.
