History Characters / TheParentTrap1998

* AmbitionIsEvil: She's opportunistic and won't take "no" for an answer when it comes to Nick's money.

* ChildHater: She bullies the twins with no hesitation or remorse, as they're the only thing preventing her from immediately marrying Nick.
* [[EntitledBastard Entitled Bitch]]: She's very uptight and bossy whenever she can't get what she wants.

* FourthDateMarriage: Given that Hallie didn't even meet Meredith before leaving for camp, it's implied Nick met her during the 8-week period his daughter was away. It only raises Annie’s concerns when Nick reveals his plans to marry Meredith.
* GoldDigger: It’s clear she's more into Nick for his money and wine vineyard than anything else. In the beginning, only Hallie can see her for whom she really is.

* NiceToTheWaiter: Inverted. We know she's not a good person because she's mean to Chessy, Nick's housekeeper and Hallie's ParentalSubstitute.
* RichBitch: She’s rude and ''incredibly'' arrogant towards anyone she considers "below" her, including Chessy and, somehow, Hallie.
* [[SpoiledBrat Spoiled Bitch]]: Has shades of this. Especially when Nick chooses the girls over her.

* WickedStepmother: She makes herself out to be sweet and wanting to get along with Hallie all while planning to ship her off to boarding school in Switzerland.

* [[EntitledBastard EntitledBitch]]: She's very uptight and bossy whenever she can't get what she wants.

* HonoraryUncle: While never called Uncle, even as a butler he's treated like another member of the James family, and Elizabeth tells him she's also views him like a brother.

* NiceToTheWaiter: We know she's not a good person because she's mean to Chessy, Nick's housekeeper and Hallie's ParentalSubstitute.

* FashionDesigner: Her bridal wear line is world famous, so much so that Meredith was hoping to get one of her dresses for her wedding to Nick.

* HonoraryAunt: Like Martin, Chessy is Nick’s employee, but she’s treated more like a family member by Nick and Hallie. She warmly welcomed “Hallie” back from summer camp and is overjoyed to see Annie after so long. She also remembers Hallie’s measurements from when she was a baby.

* ParentsKnowTheirChild: While she isn’t Annie and Hallie’s mother, she’s the only person to notice something was different about “Hallie”. She later confronts her about her sudden change in behavior, leading Annie to confess that it’s her and not Hallie.

* FourthDateMarriage: Given that Hallie didn't even meet Meredith before leaving for camp, it's implied Nick met her during the 8-week period his daughter was away.

* SecretKeeper: She knew about Annie but never told Hallie she had a twin sister despite living with her for eleven years. Once Annie reveals her identity to her she keeps the TwinSwitch a secret from Nick.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Meta example. [[WordOfSaintPaul Elaine Hendrix]] sees Meredith as an opportunist rather than a CardCarryingVillain.

* GoldDigger: It’s clear she's more into Nick for his money and wine vineyard than anything else. In the beginning, only Annie can see her for whom she really is.

* RichBitch: She’s rude and ''incredibly'' arrogant towards anyone she considers "below" her, including Chessy.

** She's a ChildHater and gold digger, but she's understandably not happy finding out Nick never told her his daughter was also a twin nor that the other twin lived with the mother/his ex, nor when he invites said ex on a family camping trip despite not having seen her in 11 years.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: She acts saccharine sweet, but is really a RichBitch.

* GoldDigger: It’s clear she's more into Nick for his money and wine vineyard than anything else.

* RichBitch: She’s mildly rude and snobby towards anyone below her station, including Chessy.

* VillainousBreakdown: Meredith has one after she's pranked by the twins and dumped by Nick in quick succession.

[[/folder]]

* NiceGuy: He's generally a sweet guy and treats Chessy as a member of the family. He is also a gentleman to both Elizabeth and Meredith to point where he doesn’t call [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech the latter out for trying to send his girls off to Switzerland.]]
