Darren Bridger

Darren Bridger was the original name of a person who visited the Inn in 2007. He was a soldier in the military, who became a food critic named Jamie Connor.

Somehow his posts on the blog have been excised, and so what little is known about him can only be gleaned from posts by others. He had flirted with "Daphne" prior to his transformation, and later met Jessica and Louisa during their New York stay. He also took exception to Ashlyn's acceptance of her scenario, which 'Lyn dismissed as more or less wishful thinking, noting that she hoped Darren would get his body back, but that it was impossible to cling to false hope.

In New York City, Darren struck up a friendship with Mark Lange, who by this time was two years into the life of Ginessa Lopez. By 2008, Ginessa observed, sadly, that Darren still somewhat regarded the life of a female as "less than" that of a male. Ginessa also asserted that she felt judged by Darren by never having tried to get his life back.

As Jamie, Darren was physically attractive and blonde. He suffered from a peanut allergy that was not present in the original Jamie, which hindered his ability to do her job as a food critic.
