Ramin Karimloo. Most well known for his role as The Phantom ever since the 2000s once finishing his role as Raoul. He has gone to do other roles such as Enjolras from Les Misérables along with his Broadway debut as Jean Valjean in the revival of Les Mis. And also as the villain Gleb from the Broadway version of Anastasia. Things are truly looking up for all thanks to one woman in his life. He's even happily married to his wife, Mandy Karimloo, and they both have raised two sons, Jaiden Karimloo and Hadley Karimloo. It made his life perfect to be with his family and to make his sons proud of their dad.

Sierra Boggess. A young and angelic beauty who started her career in the Las Vegas production of The Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian Hotel playing Christine on different nights. No one knew who she was until that show and she has blown away every man and woman with her voice. She made her Broadway debut playing the role of Ariel in the Broadway production of Disney's The Little Mermaid. She became very well known that she had a blast portraying a iconic Disney princess every little girl knew from childhood. She even played roles such as Fantine in Les Misérables in London along with being Christine on Broadway for many occasion and she keeps having some fun from night to night and doing the one thing she loves the most, being on stage and performing.

Then everything changed for both Ramin and Sierra in 2010. Andrew Lloyd Webber, the composer for such well-known musicals from Cats to The Phantom of the Opera; which has last for more than 10 years on both Broadway and the West End, has cast both Ramin and Sierra in a new show he has written. Love Never Dies, the sequel to The Phantom of the Opera. He was cast as The Phantom and she was cast as Christine. Once they rehearsed the new songs for the show and even the show itself, they started a great chemistry and every fan of them always sees both of them hanging out and being the best of friends. They were truly inseperable until Sierra left the show, which sadden Ramin cause he doesn't have his friend around anymore. Then it came even sadder for him because Love Never Dies was closing. But it wasn't the end of his performances in London.

2011 came around and it was the 25th anniversary of The Phantom of the Opera and it is being celebrated at the Royal Albert Hall. Ramin is chosen to be The Phantom once again and, to his surprised, Sierra is back with him as his Christine. It is as if fate have brought them back together. They even made a new friend, Hadley Fraiser, with whom Ramin performed with before in the 25th anniversary of Les Misérables and even played the role of Javert to Ramin's Jean Valjean. They were like the best of friends when Sierra was gone but he is even more happy to see her again and having the opportunity to be co-stars once again. That performance was the greatest experience for him cause he had not only Sierra back but has both of them by his side even though Hadley was Raoul and they had to be enemies, but it was all acting. Once the show has celebrated the 25th anniversary, everyone went their separate ways. But something more special sparked between Ramin and Sierra. Especially in the scene where they shared a stage kiss in the Final Lair scene. Ramin has felt it and so did Sierra, even though they knew it was just acting. But in their hearts, it felt real to them. And when it came to the moment Ramin sang, "Christine, I love you." It's a if he was really saying it directly to Sierra and in her expression as Christine, she felt real tears knowing that it's part of the musical, but was hoping that it was true. But she kept remembering that it's acting and also he's a married man with sons.

Ever since the 25th anniversary, Ramin and Sierra hasn't seen one another in a very long time and it was very stressful for one another. Ramin is happy with his sons but he doesn't seem very happy around his wife. He kept wondering what is really missing inside of his heart. And for Sierra, she couldn't stop thinking of Ramin. She was recently engaged to her recent co-star, Tam Mutu from Love Never Dies, the alternate actor for Ramin, but she really didn't fell happy about it. Why is it that she's not happy with Tam but is happy with Ramin? Is it because they have a very special bond in their friendship or could it possibly be more? She kept hoping that one day, they can be together and find out if there is something more special in their relationship before it's too late.
