History[]

Family Members[]

  • Kristin Mercer is Sutton's adoptive mother and Laurel's biological mother.
  • Sutton Mercer is the eldest, and adopted, daughter of the Mercer family. Frustrated with the lies and secrets whenever she asked about her birth, or adoption, Sutton resented her parents and was desperate to find her birth mother.
  • Laurel Mercer is the youngest, and biological, daughter of the Mercer family, born just ten months after older sister Sutton was adopted.
  • (Emma Becker) is Sutton's identical twin sister, that the Mercer family (except possibly Ted) doesn't even know exists. However, she's been living under their very noses as Sutton. While filling in for her sister, Emma has come to love the Mercers, and even to think of them as family. She hopes to find some way to stay in Scottsdale with her own identity, with the only family she's ever known, but fears their reaction if they learn she's been lying to them for so long.
