Off the top of my head the connections between them seem few and far between.
The depression happening in Trona is almost equivalent to Olivia's perpetual state of mourning. When the Count tries something new...sending a new page (who happens to be attractive) to her everything changes. Just as with Ray and the departure Charline.
Feste is like the Danny Devito character he plays an important role in the world of the play itself but is also important to the audiences presepctive. He is shorter then everyone making him physically commical and has a stripper for a wife making making his character almost somehing in the realm of slapstick.
Another parallel is Sir Toby and his crew. Sir toby is like Rays neighbor- always drunk. Until the end where he proves to be useful and marries Maria. And Ray's neighbor is going to become a Father both talking on responsibilities never given to them before.

These are really good connections. I didn't think of comparing people in this way. I focused on the broader stuff. Comparing Feste to Danny Devito's character was my favorite. When I read the first words of that paragraph, I was like whaaat? But you totally made a good comparison and I see it now.
