As the President of the American television network that put "Pucks" on the air, the charismatic, unscrupulous Merc has thrown his weight behind Sean and Beverly's creation -- but only as long as the show's a hit. A mercurial manchild, Merc's mood swings are as volatile as the ratings. His second-in-command and lover, Carol, is still there to enjoy their victories or soothe his tantrums as the pair continue to sleep together, despite the fact that Merc is married. This season, Merc will stoop to new lows to stay on top.
