* Eddie Kramer was probably abandoned as a baby because of his ego, growing up to be a whiny and useless manchild who fails at being TroubledButCute and has a weird OedipusComplex with any older women who are nice to him. Him having a one-off fling at 15 [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale with a married woman]] (accused of murder) is probably why he acts so insufferable,[[note]]Not including having a mentally-ill brother who escaped from a hospital, and a sister that drowned in front of him[[/note]] especially when he's somewhat reluctant to help Shaunie from being abused by her TallDarkAndHandsome boyfriend, [[ItsAllAboutMe because she rejected him]].

* Guido, who Allison calls [[UpToEleven worse than Harvey]], is an EthnicScrappy who has distracting MoodWhiplash B-plots.

Him [[JailBait having a one-off fling at 15]] [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale with a married woman]] (accused of murder) is probably why he acts so insufferable,[[note]]Not including having a mentally-ill brother who escaped from a hospital, and a sister that drowned in front of him[[/note]] especially when he's somewhat reluctant to help Shaunie from being abused by her TallDarkAndHandsome boyfriend, [[ItsAllAboutMe because she rejected him]].

* [[ChickMagnet Harvey]] ([[CompleteMonster The Worst]]) is a [[HandsomeLech smug]] CasanovaWannabe who is self-centered and exploits people's misery, either for monetary gain or to get into a girl's pants. Allison's BerserkButton is when women are charmed by his "flirting".

* Allison was shocked to discover how diverse the cast was in season one before the series decided to focus on the eye candy, with BridgeBunnies that didn’t look like they’d stepped out of a fashion magazine, such as the heavyset Sid at the desk, and staff of all ages, like the junior lifeguard trainees, Captain Thorpe and "Lifeguard Old Man". After the season shuffles, the stories about Thorpe and Old Man's mid-life crises being added into the episodes at random tired Allison out because both them and their stories were slowing ''Baywatch'' down, for her. Weirdly, Lifeguard Old Man’s actor [[YouLookFamiliar played a lifeguard who died in the pilot film]], so LOM could literally be haunting Baywatch beach, which -- considering the episodes about alien abductions and ghosts -- wouldn’t be far-fetched for the show.

* Newmie, [[TheAce Golden God]]
* John [[RunningGag Word That Starts With D]] Cort, a handsome, charming cowboy slash con artist slash superhero who has a tendency to seduce princesses, break the law, and rope people who should really know better into {{Zany Scheme}}s with alarming regularity

* Matt [[FanNickname "Eyebrows"]] Brody, an exceedingly French rich boy who doesn't have any real problems until his parents leave the country and take the money with them and who receives absolutely zero respect from Stephanie
* Summer, whose being a target for all of the world's woes has turned into an emotionally empty zombie

* Logan, Australian but incompetent. Interestingly, he was brought in because the showrunners "finally had a bad boy to write about", but ''Baywatching'' viewers pointed out that they seemed to had [[RetCon forgotten]] about John D. Cort. The thing that concerns Allison the most is that his actor was openly gay, yet his character was a wannabe fashion designer who had a B-plot ''about AIDS''.
* Caroline Holden, a bitter sea witch (also Stephanie's sister) who whinges a lot.
* Neely Capshaw, [[DesignatedAntagonist bad at being evil]]

* Logan, Australian but incompetent

* Lifeguard Old Man, who came back from the dead or is possibly the twin of the guy who died in the pilot, and is ''so old''
* Captain Thorpe, deep in the throes of a midlife crisis while at the same time trying to be the wise elder of the group

* Cody was TheScrappy of the series, to fans of ''Baywatch'', and Allison concluded that it was because he [[DumbMuscle looked stupid]].

* Mitch is a David Hasselhoff SelfInsert[=/=]MartyStu that is obsessed with being the best at everything, to the point of claiming that he's saved over a million people.[[note]]Allison debates whether this "saved a million people" claim is either due to InsaneTrollLogic, Mitch trying to look good, or that he isn't good at math.[[/note]]

* Eddie Kramer was probably abandoned as a baby because of his ego, growing up to be a whiny and useless manchild who fails at being TroubledButCute and has a weird OedipusComplex with any older women who are nice to him. Him [[JailBait having a one-off fling at 15]] [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale with a married woman]] (accused of murder) is probably why he acts so insufferable, especially when he ignores Shaunie's loud cries from being abused by another man, [[ItsAllAboutMe because she rejected him]].

* CJ Parker, a New-Agey free spirit and amiable ditz who happens to have whatever hobby the writers wanted to center her subplot around that week

* Jimmy Slade, ace surfer! Serial cheater! Strangely oblivious to all facets of human behavior!

* Trevor Cole, Australian but incompetent, The Greatest Season 1 Baywatch Character

* Stephanie Holden, a fellow lieutenant, and ex of Mitch's who is if anything even more of a competitive know-it-all, as well as a StrawFeminist. She's low-key in love with Mitch whenever it makes for better subplot drama and happy to be foisted off with a hunk of the week when it's not.

About a third to half of the humor in any given episode of ''WebVideo/{{Baywatching}}'' is this--as well as the wacky voices Creator/{{Allison|Pregler}} gives to each character:

* Harvey, who is The Worst
