She and Mare have been best friends since they were 4. Lori knows how mercurial and cutting Mare can be at times, but loves and accepts her exactly as she is.

Mare and Frank's daughter, a lovely, brilliant young woman who is rebellious and strong-headed in nature.

The county detective who has been called in to assist with Mare's investigation — much to her chagrin.

A lonely teen girl who lives with her volatile father. The only love in her life is her infant son, DJ.

Mare's boss at the Easttown Police Department, whose stoicism belies a deep compassion for the people he's been charged with protecting.

Drew’s mother and Kevin’s ex-girlfriend. She’s a recovering addict, six months sober now, a wild horse of a girl struggling to fight for her son and start life anew.

Mare's mother. Opinionated, stubborn, a devout Catholic, Helen never holds back on her opinions, whether solicited or not.

A transitional Deacon who is kind, quiet, and idealistic, though the residue of an accusation at his last church has left him slightly unmoored, he never waivers in his faith.

Mare's cousin, a progressive, inclusive Roman Catholic priest who struggles with his faith and enjoys the occasional Manhattan with Helen, but remains as the moral and spiritual voice of Easttown.

Erin's father, a stocky, tattooed man who works as a mason. He's bitter and cruel, especially when he drinks.

Lori's good-natured husband and high school sweetheart, who serves as a protective father to their children Ryan and Moira, and has an unbreakable bond with his brother Billy.

A visiting creative writing professor who wrote a dazzling novel that won the National Book Award 25 years ago, but he has never lived up to his early promise.

An affable, outgoing man, a math teacher at the local high school. He married Mare when they were just 20 years old, but their marriage split apart years ago.
