Eric Cooper

Age: 23
Occupation: graduate student at Columbia University’s school of business
Status: single
Family: Davis (father); Lynn (mother); Andrew (brother)
Background: The younger of the two Cooper boys, Eric gets the burden of
taking over Daddy’s business, not that he minds. Eric is what his older
brother Andrew has always called a “kiss ass.” Eric has always been at
Daddy’s beck and call partly because of the fear of the power his father holds
over his head and partly because of something else Eric is unsure of what it is.
Possible Storylines: Eric buckles under the pressure of being daddy’s
“bitch” to the point of a breakdown leaving Andrew to pick up the slack; drops
out of graduate school to avoid taking over the family business but leads his
family to believe he gets up and goes to class.
