Plot Summary, Cast and Seasons
Under One Roof stars a multiracial cast of characters. The plot tells the story of a Chinese family, headed by Tan Ah Teck-the owner of a mini-mart and his family-housewife Dolly and children Ronnie, Paul and Denise along with their neighbours, namely Daisy, a lady of Indian descent and her brother, Michael(played by Rajiv Dhawn ) and the married Malay couple Rosnah and Yusof, all living in an apartment building.
Tan Ah Teck- Patriarch of the Tan family and a mini-mart owner. He is prompted by any situations that occur to tell his unappreciated and seemingly irrelevant stories with the intent of teaching the other characters some moral lessons. Frequently begins his stories with "This reminds me of a story! Long before your time..."
Dolly- A stoic peacemaker and faithful housewife of Tan Ah Teck, she is one of the few characters who are willing to sit through and even appreciate his stories. She is best friends with neighbour Rosnah.
Paul- A hypochondriac accountant who enjoys classical music and adores veteran Hong Kong star Sally Yeh. On the final episode of Season 5, he and Anita get married.
Ronnie- Son of Ah Teck and Dolly, Ronnie is frequently skirt-chasing and is full of schemes and riduculous ideas which irk his family, especially Paul, Denise and father Ah Teck.
Denise- The University-educated daughter of Ah Teck and Dolly, and the only sensible one in the family who tries to keep the household sane.
Yusof- Mee-Rebus seller, husband of Rosnah and friend of the Tan family.
Rosnah - Yusof's large and sharp-tongued wife who often dominates her husband.
Daisy- A single advertising executive, she is excitable, outspoken and constantly bickers with her brother Michael.

Famous quotes containing the words plot, cast and/or seasons:
“There saw I how the secret felon wrought,
And treason labouring in the traitor’s thought,
And midwife Time the ripened plot to murder brought.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
“Nothing is so foolish, they say, as for a man to stand for office and woo the crowd to win its vote, buy its support with presents, court the applause of all those fools and feel self-satisfied when they cry their approval, and then in his hour of triumph to be carried round like an effigy for the public to stare at, and end up cast in bronze to stand in the market place.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
“When the ice is covered with snow, I do not suspect the wealth under my feet; that there is as good as a mine under me wherever I go. How many pickerel are poised on easy fin fathoms below the loaded wain! The revolution of the seasons must be a curious phenomenon to them. At length the sun and wind brush aside their curtain, and they see the heavens again.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
