Last Somerset character cast prior to premiere

(SONBC) -- With the premiere of the SONBC blogsoap "Somerset" just under four weeks away, the last of the announced characters has been cast by Steve Ungrey (sungrey) and his crackerjack staff.

ZACHARY CLEYPOOL, the young son of George Cleypool and one of George's two children (the other, Emily, is currently off the canvas), will be on the map as Somerset premieres July 16. Zachary is being groomed by George to take over the Cleybank Corporation, the family business, but he may find himself sidetracked by other things. KYLE BRANDT, late of "Days of our Lives" (ex-Phillip), has been cast as the somewhat nefarious son who could turn out after all to have a heart of gold.

Two other characters are on the canvas, both of which will be introduced by summer's end, and information about these new characters have been held back until their first airdate.

Check back here next week for an interview with Ungrey regarding the show, followed the first full week of July by a sneak peek at the storylines.
