Half & Half - Premise

Premise

The plot of the show mainly centers around the lives of the two half sisters, Mona and Deedee, and their growing relationship. Mona, the eldest, is at first resentful of Deedee, whom their father now spent more time with. Mona, on the other hand was left to live with just her mother and thus became to more level headed of the two. Deedee was the second born and was spoiled unconditionally. She grew to be the more fashionable, up-scale, materialistic of the two, and sometimes also a bit dim-witted. The two sisters, throughout the series, begin to grow on each other and learn the feelings each has harbored for the other since childhood, get over them, and deal with the here and now issues including dating men, dealing with co-workers and bosses, and dealing with each other as people. They learn to love each other dearly and quickly take on the roles that would have been theirs had they spent more time together- Mona acting as the big sister often trying to protect Deedee from one thing or another, and Deedee looking up to Mona and asking for advice, as well as acting as each other's confidant and mutual sibling annoyance.
