Lost Americana Storylines

Looking for Gene's dad, he's a musician in New York and when his parents divorced he never saw his dad again. Was thinking dad could visit him at work or something? Some exes from various places would be great too. He's been to NY, MA, SC and MO. I'm also looking to bring another character. Thinking to PB Grace Helbig. No ideas what to do with her yet other than maybe a new teacher at the local high school? Any ideas? Gimme everything *grabby hands*
