Kay Sedia, Marry Me

Kay Sedia (Tymberlee Hill)

Marry Me centered around straight couple Annie and Jake. Kay was introduced in the pilot as one of their friends and neighbor, she was shown to be sarcastic and eccentric, and often made references to past romantic flings and hook-ups, such as in episode 4 when she mentions having dated Fantasia Yang, and in episode 8 when she lusted over the local market butcher Linda, who once broke her heart and then robbed her.

In episode 12 it was revealed that Kay had secretly dated a woman named Hailey for two months, initially she was hesitant to make it official since she didn’t want to ruin it, but at the end of the episode she announced to her friends that Hailey was her girlfriend. In the next episode Kay and Hailey enjoyed a Valentine’s Day date at a fancy restaurant. In episode 14 it was revealed that Kay had been dating a woman named Brianna at the same time as she was dating Hailey, and tried to break up with her but her friend needed Brianna’s help, which complicated things.

Marry Me was pulled off the air after the first 14 episodes and the series was cancelled, resulting in the last 4 episodes of the series never airing on NBC, or in the US. They did, however, air in the UK later that year.

In the unaired episode, Hailey returned in episode 17 where she and Kay continued their relationship, it was implied that they had sex in the shower before they were interrupted by their friends. In the last episode Kay and Hailey said they loved each other at Annie and Jake’s wedding, and they were seen jamming to the music together with all of the other cast members in the series’ last scene.
