Dr. Salvatore Domingo: The shady doctor who ran the clinic where a comatose Tim Fisher was held as "Tom Clayton" for several years while presumed dead. Domingo went to prison in 2005 but continues to insist that he never met Nick Moriani, who was assumed to have brought Tim to the clinic.

Nicole Gray: The late wife of Matt Gray's brother, Jake. Nicole had an affair with her brother-in-law, Matt, in the early 90s, which resulted in a pregnancy. They made the difficult decision to abort the baby, but Nicole grew so depressed about the situation that she took her own life.

Maggie Collins Hudson: Andy Fitch ran into this beautiful architect from Seattle -- or, more appropriately, his car ran into hers -- on New Year's Eve 2000. Andy was racing to stop his mother's wedding to Nick Moriani, and Maggie was stuck in King's Bay for work. Maggie gave Andy a ride to the wedding, but he was too late. Nevertheless, their encounter left quite an impression on him, because when Maggie returned in summer 2001, they spent some romantic time together. Andy moved to Seattle later that year, hoping to pursue a relationship with her. Their story continued in the webseries Every Time It Rains. When Andy returned to King's Bay in 2007, he explained that he and Maggie had split for good.
