Recurring Edit

Donna Murphy Edit

Andrea Westin disappeared from the house the morning the Polar Shift was discover. She took some money with her that doesn't belong to her and unless she brings it back, the Westin family will be in a lot of trouble. Chuck hired the cheapest private investigator he could find. She seems competent enough, but she always seems to keep losing Andrea. Maybe she's not as good as she says she is? Still, she's doing it for free, but why?

Gary Derceto Edit

Former valedictorian of Hyde's Park High School, 16-year-old Gary Derceto dropped out in the wake of impeding doom.

Ashley Brock Jr. Edit

Miles pined for Ashley Brock for months. Even from lame excuse to lame excuse, he would still ask her out on a date. With the Polar Shift's arrival came the biggest excuse of them all: Ashley has "realized" that she's a lesbian. Needless to say, Miles isn't happy with that decision. (His exact word were, "She can fall into a wood chipper for all I care.") As luck would have it, Miles and Ashley find themselves forced to work together.

Aaron James Edit

Mr. James is Hyde's Park only original teacher left and has an obvious sadistic streak when it comes to to teaching. He enjoys sending students to the principal's office.
