Rory and Simone Monahan were siblings with only a year age difference and both with a passion for acting. And they both got a role on a show they had no idea would hit America so hard, and set there careers off....into the drain.
She wouldn't be a main character, but really anyone involved with the show was in the public's eye.
Simone played the ghost and living prescience of the real girl, Stella Cunningham. She was a sweet and slightly selfish daughter of Elias Cunningham, the crazy ass doctor that made the tapes and actually ended up helping The Miller Family.
Stella had been living with her father since she dropped out of beauty school and decided she wanted to take a year off. She loved the house, up until the Blood Moon, of course.
She portrayed in 2 episodes as a ghost and 1 as a human, with the story of how she died and how badly it hurt her father. Stella was murdered by The Butcher in front of his eyes and he never was able to get over it.
The last day had been a long day of shooting, she had practically gotten in all of her scenes of a human in that one day. The cast decided to go get drinks to celebrate.
Rory and Audrey had already hit it off so they decided too not go, probably go have sex or something. But as long as Rory was happy, that was all that was important to Simone.
Matt, Shelby, Dominic, Monet and Simone all sat at a bar a few streets down from the production sets, where they shot the fake Polk House and such. "Holy shit" Simone says out loud as she looked down at her phone.
Everyone turned to her, billions of "What?" "What?" "What's going on?" came from the surrounding cast members.
"My brother asked Audrey to marry him." Simone takes a sip of her drink and shows them the picture her brother had sent her, of Audrey's ring.
"Well tell them to get their asses down here and celebrate!" Dominic said raising his glass in the air before taking a sip.
That night was the first night Dominic and Simone had ever saw each other in a different light, he asked her on a date and they continued to go on dates. He was even her date to her brothers wedding, which she was a bridesmaid too.
Simone was with the show producer, Sidney Aaron James, deciding whether or not to continue with a second season. She wasn't so for it, but he was determined to make it happen.
They sat in his office when her phone went off, it was her brother. "Hold on one minute, I have to take this" Simone said standing up and answering the call.
"Rory? What's up?" Simone asked and she heard him take a deep breath.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes, why wouldn't I be?" The red head asked confused, raising an eyebrow on the other side of the call.
"Dominic was seen with Shelby Miller and everyone's saying they are having an affair. It's all over the internet, where have you been?" He asks but Simone just froze.
Her heart was beating 25 miles an hour and she didn't know what to say or do. She kept thinking that there was some kind of other explanation. Anything at all.
"With Sydney, it's not important. I need to talk to Dominic, I'm positive this isn't what everyone thinks it is." Simone says and hung up the phone quickly before she said bye to Sydney quickly and walked away.
But the rumors were right. Dominic confessed quickly to cheating on her and begged for forgiveness and just like Matt Miller, she wasn't able too forgive him.
It wasn't a healthy relationship. The age difference was bigger than Audrey and Rory and her daddy issues made her love him when he didn't treat her right.

It had been a few months since the first season of 'My Roanoke Nightmare' made it big and while Dominic and Simone were still together in the public eye but secretly not speaking.
Sydney sat down with Simone as she was a fan favorite actress and character so people would tune in, knowing she was coming back.
"Simone Monahan, thanks for sitting down with me." Sydney says, earning a smile back from the girl.
"Thank you, Sydney." Simone says. "I'm really excited to come back, to see everyone again. We kinda became like a family during the show. Besides Rory, he already was my family" She chuckles.
"Now, I hate to bring it up but everyone saw the news of Shelby and Matt splitting up because of the affair between Shelby and Dominic Banks, your boyfriend...how is it going to be with Shelby?"
Simone pulls off the fakest smile she could do. "No hard feelings. New season, fresh start." She shrugged and quickly took off the microphone. No more questions about Dominic and Shelby.
