Celine was a long time housekeeper for the Cryer family, a wealthy family who lives in Savannah, Georgia. When she was first introduced, she was portrayed as a helpful, kind, if a bit gossipy woman who was helping her recently hired friend, Hanna Young get into the routine of being a housekeeper. At one point, before the show began, Celine was in an affair with Jim Cryer, the husband of Katheryn. Katheryn does not like Celine, has never liked her, and dismissively calls her "Four" as she was the fourth in the line of mistresses that Jim has had over the years.
