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:
“The westward march has stopped, upon the final plains of the Pacific; and now the plot thickens ... with the change, the pause, the settlement, our people draw into closer groups, stand face to face, to know each other and be known.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
“There may sometimes be ungenerous attempts to keep a young man down; and they will succeed too, if he allows his mind to be diverted from its true channel to brood over the attempted injury. Cast about, and see if this feeling has not injured every person you have ever known to fall into it.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Sorrow breaks seasons and reposing hours,
Makes the night morning and the noontide night.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
