Terrence Sebastian [left] and Redmond Marius [right] Barnes (22, almost 23) are the ex-stepbrothers of Montsie and Joanie. His mother was Lionel Hammersmith’s second wife, who since divorced and remarried another man, who fathered the twins. While they’re technically not stepbrothers to Montsie and Joanie since their mother is no longer married to Mr. Hammersmith, they still call themselves stepbrothers, or at least to Montsie. Redmond is currently dating and living with his girlfriend Mercy Durham. Terrence lives in a small apartment alone and may or may not move out soon. They’re fully in support of Carlene and Adessa’s “Burn Out The Past” tradition on New Years Eve and they’re definitely excited to do this again since they have a lot they want to burn. Terrence is very outspoken about what he’s burning and without Redmond there to keep the tradition lighthearted, he’d go on a vicious rant. Redmond is known not to tell anyone what he burns, last year he wrote a list of everything he hated about Lionel Hammersmith and burned it, but told nobody what he incinerated. Terrence? He straight-up incinerated Lionel’s picture.
The twins can take New Years a bit too seriously but that’s also because it’s been that way since they were born — they’re on opposite sides of the millennium. Terrence was born New Years Eve 1999 and Redmond was born New Years Day 2000. As babies they had quite a bit of publicity, being on the news and getting an early 15 minutes of fame. They were far too young to enjoy it then but now they love watching that old news video segment talking about them being born on opposite millenniums. In fact, they’ve wanted to see if there’s any other twins like them and they’ve found a few, but they’ve only been able to contact one. When he was 18, Terrence even dated one of the twins that they’ve contacted, and had a genuine connection with her, but broken up at one point. They were a sweet couple and were meant to be, and she’s helped him get through some troubles he had with his former stepfather, who married his mother before he was born. Terrence and Redmond used to have a strained relationship with their mother, but they’re all doing better now and keeping Lionel in the past, realising their mother just had a stressful life and wasn’t a bad person. Terrence has a secret, and it’s actually a positive one this time, he and his girlfriend are back together!
They’re currently both really close with Montsie and work with her on the charity. They never really consider themselves part of the “hotel royalty” and they support the Teagues family for being a great group of in-laws for Montsie. They haven’t completely seen eye-to-eye with Lionel Hammersmith although they’re not as angered as they were last year, although Lionel was much ruder to them last year. He’s not really a pain to them this year since they’ve lived their own lives without him and managed to not lose their friendly connection with Montsie and her family. Neither of them are burning anything related to Lionel for this year’s “Burn Out The Past”; Terrence is burning a picture he drew when he and his girlfriend were broken up and Redmond is burning…a picture of a friend who used to work at another charity, before it was exposed as a scam and that friend getting sued, with the help of Montsie’s brother-in-law…
