Uncle/Aunt and house

[sharry]

write in any way you want but make it simple for the reader so that he does not get confused... i always do the residence thing....like if i have a character lets say Jack Wayne i 'll write like Wayne residence no matter who owns the house as long as he is living in the house and is my main character.

LloJo has it right. You might make their character names called out in the script as "Aunt Helen" and "Uncle George" rather than "Helen" and "George." That's a good way to keep part of the who's who in order.

Make it easy for your reader, but be consistent. Eliminate any confusion as to who's who, what's what and where's where. There isn't any cut and dried right or wrong here.
It used to be that male characters were referred to by their last name, and females by their first. That's not seen much anymore, but it shows that things change.

My leading lady, Annie, has an Aunt Helen and Uncle George.  For the dialogues, I have them as AUNT HELEN and UNCLE GEORGE.  But in the actions, I sometimes just say "her uncle", or "her aunt" or "Helen" or "George".  Is that okay?  Or should I always say "Aunt Helen" and "Uncle George" everywhere in the script?

Also, for the scene header, can I say "Annie's house", instead of "Aunt Helen's House" (Her aunt owns the house and she lives with them)?

Same question for my lead male character, Darin Dale.  Can I say "Darin's house" or should I just say "Dale residence" or maybe "Darin's parents' house" (her parents own the house and he lives with them)?

Thanks!!!
