Just for the Camera Characters

Felicity "Fizzy" Callahan is an ER nurse from Indiana and Mara's best friend. After a fourteen-hour ER shift she drinks alone at a bar, then agrees to fill in as the female talent on Mara's overnight music video shoot. Drunk on set, she insults Silas Ford's pinkie ring, accidentally calls him sexy, and later admits she lost a patient that day.

Arc: She begins guarded and dismissive of Silas's public image, but grows vulnerable with him and accepts a date. After seeing the People article about Jenna Gray, she pulls back and insists the shoot is just a music video. By the end she accepts Silas's dinner invitation, kisses him, and texts Mara about enjoying a strange, wonderful, fleeting life.
