Beau Hamilton Wilkes

Beau Hamilton Wilkes is Melanie and Ashley's only surviving child born in war torn Atlanta just before the flight to Tara. When she knows she will not survive her miscarriage, Melanie calls Rhett to her side and asks him to watch over Beau as he grows up. He seems to have quite a different character to his parents and is strong minded and passionate as well as kind hearted and gentle. Melanie has an ulterior motive in asking Rhett to do this as she has asked the same of Scarlett - she hopes her action might lead to a loving reconciliation between Rhett and Scarlett sometime in the future. When Beau turns 18 he decides to look up 'Uncle Rhett' who is now a successful nightclub owner in New Orleans... Rhett feels it is time to 'complete' Beau's education...

 

I was going to cast Kieron as Rhett but he looks far too young so I decided instead that he would join the cast for the next generation. I am excited to see what will happen when the daughter Rhett never knew he had - Esmeray Blakely - turns up in New Orleans to seek out her father and finds Beau staying with him...
