And later sleeps with an old businessman named Tex in Season 3. In total along with her husband Debbie has sex with 8 people over 3 seasons.

[[folder:Sam]]
!!Sam Francis Sylvia
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/61d7c8e5_f1cd_4999_a671_6221a455b1cd.jpeg]]

->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/MarcMaron

->A Sicilian-American exploitation film director hired to direct ''GLOW''. He had directed eight films in the 1970s including ''Gina the Machina'' which was deemed so controversial that it was banned in 49 states. Sam has a chronic drug and alcohol addiction that has led to one divorce and multiple affairs with other women.

* AgeGapRomance: He tends to date his actresses, even when they're much younger than him, and this includes when dating Rhonda/Britanica. He makes a drunken pass at Justine until he finds out she's his ''daughter'', and her fan-girling over him is parental idolisation. Over the course of the second season, he slowly falls in love with Ruth, and is offended when she outlines the age difference as a reason why they can't date.
* AlliterativeName: Both actor and character alike.
* ChivalrousPervert: This line says is best
--> ''"I can't objectify you now that I know you're human!"''
* DeadpanSnarker: Almost every other line out of his mouth is some sort of dry quip.
* DisappearedDad: He's actually Justine's dad, and they only reconnect after 17 years when she joins ''GLOW'' purely to meet him.
* {{Expy}}: The character of Sam Sylvia is based on Matt Cimber, the irascible director of the original Wrestling/{{GLOW}}.
* FunctionalAddict: He's a habitual cocaine user on top of being a chain smoker, both of which are taking their toll on his health, but he's thus far been able to keep his habits from noticeably interfering with his work, even when he suffers a heart attack during a meeting.
* ItsBeenDone: He has been working for ten years to try and get his film ''Mothers and Lovers'' made, and was planning to use GLOW as a way to fund it. It turns out that shares too much with ''Film/BackToTheFuture''.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He has a very abrasive personality and he is definitely a slightly misogynistic jerk but has his sweet moments when he shows that he really cares about the show. He also got some bonding moments with Ruth and helps her when she gets an abortion. He also sticks up for Ruth when she tells him that she was nearly raped by a TV executive.
* NeverMyFault: Inverted. He admits that most of his projects tank because of his own mistakes, to the point that, when Ruth tells him that ''GLOW'' got moved to 2 AM because she rejected Tom Grant's advances, his first reaction is relief that it's ''not'' his fault for once. ([[spoiler:His second reaction is attacking Grant's car with a crowbar.]])
* PapaWolf: In the 10th episode of Season 1, he finds out Justine (who is his illegitimate daughter) is seeing Billy the pizza boy, and gets violently overprotective of her.
* ParentalIncest: Hitting rock bottom at a party, he puts the moves on Justine and kisses her. She recoils in horror and admits she's his daughter. Oops.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Zig-Zagged. He has no problem indulging in stereotypes but also has no issue with actually hiring a diverse cast, such as the openly gay Yolanda, and shows no objection to Yolanda and Arthie getting together (actually telling the latter he finds them adorable). Keith describes him as “more sexist than racist” and it’s implied he was a former civil rights activist... who joined up to get laid. Overall, it's clear he's more ''insensitive'' to race issues rather than outright bigoted, and has issues with women that he's at least ''trying'' to deal with.
* SirSwearsALot: Almost everything out of his mouth is punctuated with "fuck" or "fucking".

[[folder:Justine]]
!!Justine Biagi
->'''Gimmick''': ''[[TheQuincyPunk Scab]]''
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/glow_justine_2.jpg]]
[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/justine_scab_glow_6.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:250:Justine as "Scab"]]
->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/BrittBaron

-> A 17-year-old punk rock girl who uses the in-ring name "Scab". She is a fan of Sam's exploitation films and has a romantic relationship with pizza boy Billy Offal.

* BadassAdorable: "Scab" may be brash, loud and fierce, but her clothes, hairstyle and petite frame means she looks pretty cute, too. Especially if you're into punk girls.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: She’s a classic moody, emo-ish teen with a snarky reply always at the ready.
* DeadpanSnarker: Very much so -- her default tone is fatigued sarcasm.
* DemotedToExtra: In-universe, the Scab gimmick is discarded after the crew learns that she's a minor, but she still helps the show out in Season 2 by appearing as [[SpearCarrier a variety of bit characters]].
* EasilyForgiven: Even though she tried to frame Rhonda for the theft of Sam's camera and get her fired, Rhonda didn't hold it against her and even convinced Sam not to fire her.
* EveryoneIsJesusInPurgatory: She has some unconventional ways of interpreting Sam's cinematic portfolio.
* {{Fangirl}}: She is this for horror movies and especially for Sam's films, gushing to him about his script for "The Wrath of Kuntar". Averted for wrestling itself -- she doesn't really want to wrestle so much as she just wants to reconnect with her father.
* GenerationXerox: Her father, Sam, and her are pretty similar, being heavily into gory horror, both being opinionated and quick to anger, SirSwearsALot, and both being AV Club geeks. [[SoProudOfYou He's pretty happy when he realises the extent of this]].
* {{Heel}}: Her character, "Scab" -- a punkish hooligan designed to piss off conservative 80s audiences.
* KarmaHoudini: Tried to frame Rhonda for the theft of Sam's camera and suffers no recourse for it.
* LukeYouAreMyFather: "The Liberal Chokehold" reveals that she's Sam's illegitimate daughter.
* SpoiledByTheFormat: Long before the eventual reveal of her age and parentage, the viewer is likely to catch on that 'Scab' won't make it into the ring because unlike the others she's never seen building a match relationship with a partner.
* TheQuincyPunk: Her wrestling persona is this, one that is seen as threatening to Yuppies and Middle America. While she's a legitimate punk music fan, she's much more mild-mannered and quieter than this persona out of the ring.

[[caption-width-right:250:Rhonda as "Britannica"]]

[[folder:Bash]]
!!Sebastian "Bash" Howard

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/0ddc410b_bf04_4854_8f55_41f182c43fd6.jpeg]]

->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/ChrisLowell

-> The heir to the ''Howard Foods'' business empire and producer of ''GLOW'', as well as the promotion's ring announcer and commentator.

* EightiesHair: Sports a sculpted men’s perm like a [[Franchise/{{Barbie}} Ken doll]] that gets pouffier as the series progresses. The barman at a gay bar he and the girls visit whilst looking for Florian even calls him “Malibu Ken”.
* AscendedFanboy: He is a rich kid who decided to use his trust fund money to make his own wrestling show after years of being a devoted fan.
* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: In season 3, Bash is shown to be easily distracted and excited by jugglers and magicians on the Las Vegas strip.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Throughout the first season, it's heavily hinted he might be gay, and his "butler" Florian might actually be his lover, but nothing explicit is said about the subject. However, in season 2 he also claims to be in love with Rhonda, and actually marries her. It remained unclear whether his love is genuine, or whether he's in denial because of internalized homophobia, until his bisexuality was confirmed in season 3 when a gigolo Rhonda hires to pose as a handyman to flirt with her to make him jealous ends up participating in a threesome, with Bash kissing and fondling him.
* ArmouredClosetGay: After two seasons hinting at it, Bash is revealed to be gay or at the very least bisexual in Season 3 during a steamy threesome with a male gigolo (Paul) that Rhonda contrives to make him jealous. This backfires on her spectacularly when he passionately kisses and fondles Paul and she’s left feeling bypassed and confused. He's wracked by shame and refuses to admit it to himself, with his overbearing and conservative mother likely being one of the reasons, and the fear of AIDS being another.
* {{Expy}}: The character of Bash Howard is based on David Mclane, the producer of the original Wrestling/{{GLOW}} who was an avid wrestling fan, and recognized that there was a market for women's wrestling that wasn't being met.
* GenkiGuy: Is very excitable and childlike in his enthusiasm.
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: Bash is very much in touch with his emotions, enjoys wearing makeup, has no issues holding Sam's hand at times, is very close with the wrestlers, and has an entire room in his house dedicated to playing dress up.
* InVinoVeritas: Only when he’s absolutely blind drunk does he [[ComingOutStory come out]] and admit to Debbie that he thoroughly enjoyed having sex with Paul the gigolo, and would be unable to stop himself from doing it again.
* ItsAllAboutMe: His biggest fault -- he's not really very self-aware, and can oftentimes be insensitive to others, whether that be a lack of racial awareness, or not respecting Debbie's position as a co-producer, which was done to make his workload easier. This is also largely what alienated Florian and ultimately led to his death, as he contracts AIDS while taking time away from Bash.
* ItsAllMyFault: Blames himself for Ruth's injury, because he's the one who encouraged everyone to exert themselves more.
* ManChild: Started ''GLOW'' because he really loves wrestling, is very excitable, irresponsible with money, and is easily persuaded by candy.
* NiceGuy: Especially when compared to Sam, he's very supportive and open to the suggestions of the wrestlers.
* OddFriendship: With Carmen. He has barely met her when he pretends to be her boyfriend in order to convince her father to let her train as a wrestler. Later on, he confesses his money problems and the fact that the show might never make air to her.
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: He's the one who suggests many of the more offensive characters the girls play, due to his rich conservative upbringing making him oblivious to the offence it could cause them. To him, it's purely a strategy for creating memorable {{Heel}} characters, as opposed to holding prejudiced ideas personally.
* SloganYellingMegaphoneGuy: In his capacity as the main ring-announcer for the ''GLOW'' matches.
* UpperClassTwit: He's a trust-fund baby who ploughs his considerable inheritance purely into ventures that excite him and appeal to his own personal passions -- wrestling being the number one.

[[caption-width-right:250:Stacy & Dawn as "The Beatdown Biddies"]]

->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/KimmyGatewood and Creator/RebekkaJohnson

->Best friends both inside and outside of the ring, Dawn and Stacey are also hair stylists for the cast of ''GLOW''.

* EightiesHair: In a show populated with the voluminous coiffures of the decade, theirs are by far the most perfected and of-the-moment, given their profession.
* AlterKocker: Ethel and Edna have strong Yiddish accents. However, they aren't Jewish themselves, and the Jewish Melrose accuses them of being anti-Semitic.
* TheBusCameBack: In-Universe with the Biddies, who get turned into the Toxic Twins in Season 2. In Season 3 for the Vegas floor show, the Biddies are reinstated.
* ChattyHairdresser: Stacy was a hairdresser and says her clients found her and Dawn hilarious enough to be on TV.
* {{Expy}}: The characters of The Beatdown Biddies are based on The Housewives from the original Wrestling/{{GLOW}}, and The Toxic Twins are based on Spike and Chainsaw AKA The Heavy Metal Sisters.
* FunPersonified: Stacy, along with Dawn, abandon the Beatdown Biddies characters for very rock and roll, sexy wrestling personas, claiming that their self-esteem was being affected by playing two old ladies. In a PSA the girls are roped into, they're used to represent a fun party that a teenager could have gone to if pregnancy hadn't ruined her life.
* {{Heel}}: Both the Beatdown Biddies and the Toxic Twins are heels and pitted against the ''GLOW'' good girls.
* InnocentlyInsensitive: They often are crass and loud-mouthed, to the point of being PoliticallyIncorrectHero types, but their remarks about lesbians really shake Yolanda and Arthie.
* TheKlan: For their very first match, the girls ditch The Biddies characters and go full on KKK in an incredibly distasteful (but pretty damn funny) tag-match with the African-American girls, Junkchain and Welfare Queen — whose idea the whole caper was, it should be noted.
* NeverMessWithGranny: Parodied as her and Dawn's team the Beatdown Biddies.
* NuclearMutant: During a fight with Melrose, they get sprayed with nuclear waste and transform into the Toxic Twins.
* TheStoner: They get totally baked in Season one, and start making hilarious prank phone calls to the other girls. Later in Season 3, during a team trip out to the desert, the first thing they do is whip out a bong.
* ThoseTwoGuys: They're practically inseparable, and the only formally established TagTeam in the GLOW roster. [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] in Season 3's BottleEpisode "Outward Bound".

->'''Gimmick''': ''[[HornyVikings Vicky the Viking]]''

->'''Portrayed By:''' Creator/MariannaPalka

-> An Olympic medalist. She is originally given the "Liberty Belle" gimmick in the persona test, but because of a lack of personality, the gimmick is given to Debbie instead, and Reggie becomes "Vicky the Viking" due to her tall, athletic stature and blonde hair.

* GiveAwayTheBride: He escorts Rhonda/Britannica down the aisle for her televised wedding to Bash (both for the show and in real-life to avoid her being deported).
* HappilyMarried: To Cherry — they are often seen talking, boinking, joking, and supporting each other's ambitions.
* MyBiologicalClockIsTicking: He confides to Cherry that he wants to start a family while she is still able to conceive. She is ambivalent because her career as a stuntwoman would be stalled or ruined by another pregnancy.
* NiceGuy: Very cheerful and good-natured, he gets along with Sam and Bash and the girls, even his wife's former tormentor, Melrose.
* OnlySaneMan: Of the main male cast, he is this to Sam and Bash's impulsiveness, a better husband than Sam and Mark, and really knows how to handle violent audience members.

* AmoralAttorney: He tries to get out of delivering the news to the girls that they ''can't'' move to another network now that KD-TV is canning ''GLOW'', due to the contract they wrote up.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Not so much a bitch as a DirtyCoward, but while Glen appears friendly enough with the girls and with Bash and Sam, it turns out he's an utter worm. When Tom Grant (the network head) arranges a 'meeting' with Ruth in his room, Glen is there to make Ruth comfortable before being quietly dismissed by Tom so he can make his move on Ruth, in a manner that makes it clear this isn't the first time and he knows the drill (making him complicit in potentially ''multiple'' rapes and sexual assaults).
