7	Here is the list of characters from the Quebecois television series ''Le cœur a ses raisons'', and some tropes associated with them.
8
9	!'''Brett Montgomery'''
10	-> Played by Marc Labrèche
11
12	He is Brad and Brenda's triplet, son of Doug and Crystale and Criquette's fiancée. His past exes include: Melody Babcock, Megan Barrigton-Montgomery and Googie [=MacPherson=]. He is a doctor, more precisely a gynecologist. Brett has serious alcohol problems, and so he drinks a lot whenever his couple is in trouble. He used to be an acrobat in a circus.
13
14	* CatchPhrase: Bon Dieu! (Good Lord!)
15	%%* ChickMagnet
16	* FrontierDoctor: At first, he wanted to be this and planned to travel to Africa (or Alberta, depending on his Aeromiles). Later, he goes to Africa, but decides he’s better off living in St Andrews with Criquette.
17	* TheHero: Very clearly.
18	* MrFanservice: When he takes off his shirt to reveal a jarringly jacked body double.
19	* NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: Brett’s medical formation that seems to cover pretty much everything from surgery to mental illness, despite the fact that he is a gynecologist.
20	* RecoveredAddict: Once was an alcoholic, to the point that he once forgot to put his napkin on his lap! He has a few equally dramatic relapses.
21	* SoBeautifulItsACurse
22	--> '''Brett:''' "But how many nights have I cried in front of my mirror, screaming: Be ugly! Be ugly! Be ugly!?"
23	* SpeaksFluentAnimal: He can communicate with his dog Flatsy. He also has a falcon ally, Fire Eye, to whom he can speak but who doesn't understand him. Thanks to his studies in gynecology, he also speaks dolphin (but he doesn't understand it).
24
25	!!'''Brad Montgomery'''
26	-> Played by Marc Labrèche
27
28	He is Brett and Brenda's triplet, son of Doug Montgomery, Becky's husband and the care-taker of Chris (since he actually isn't his/her biological father). He wears a mustache and is always dressed in black leather, making it obvious that he's the bad guy. Brad is a rich billionaire playboy who mostly cares about deceiving others and earning money. He becomes mayor of Saint-Andrews in season 3.
29
30	* BeardOfEvil: Mustache of evil, in fact, contrasting with his twin brother who's clean-shaven.
31	* DarkIsEvil: He wears darker clothes than his [[HeroicComedicSociopath nominally]] heroic brother Brett.
32	* DeadpanSnarker: He tends to be the one most likely to actually comment on the other characters' FailedAttemptAtDrama.
33	* DotingParent: Actually a loving dad to Chris in the first season.
34	* EvilTwin: To Brett. He loses this status by season 3 where he decides to become a mayor instead of competing for the Montgomery International.
35	* HeelFaceTurn: In season 3, he stops scheming against his brother, instead trying to become the mayor of Saint Andrews.
36	* MillionairePlayboy: Referred to as ''billionaire playboy'' InUniverse.
37	* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Brad is the only character on the show who doesn't bother with the fake French accent, talking in pure Quebecois. Not so much during the first season, but it gets worst as the episodes go by.
38	* TheRival: To Brett in seasons 1 and 2.
39
40	!!'''Brenda Montgomery'''
41	-> [[CrosscastRole Also played by Marc Labrèche]]
42
43	She is Brett and Brad's long lost triplet, daughter of Doug and Crystale and Bo's ex-fiancée. When she was born, her mother Crystale was jealous of her beauty, so she abandoned her to be raised by horses. She became a world-class top-model and dated her personal photographer, Bo Bellingsworthhhh, whom she'll be later engaged to, before dumping him like a piece of garbage. She appears starting from season two after the revelation of her existence by Crystale, claiming back her rights to the Montgomery fortune. Although the family immediatly adopts her, she instantly begins to conspire against Brett and Criquette.
44
45	* AttentionWhore: Hijacks the screen whenever she can.
46	* BerserkButton: Don't mention the fact she gained a little weight to her. Ever.
47	* TheDragon: To Ridge in the third season. She serves as his accomplice in the kidnapping of Doug Doug, in exchange for Ridge helping her singing career.
48	* EvilRedhead: She's a narcissist who once ''bombed'' an hospital.
49	* EvilTwin: Evil triplet adding herself to the evil twin, actually. By season three, she takes over Brad's position as the evil sibling of the three, though she already was evil in season two.
50	* FashionVictimVillain[=/=]FashionableEvil: She's a world-class top model, so yeah?
51	* FreudianExcuse: Was abandonned in a barn as a child, to be raised among the horses. According to herself, it made her bitter and mean.
52	* HollywoodPudgy: According to Becky, she gained a lot of weight in late season 3. While Marc Labrèche's pudginess can be debated, the point is that her silhouette has not changed one bit since she arrived.
53	* InformedAttractiveness: InUniverse, she is the epitome of beauty and grace.
54	* {{Narcissist}}: Half of her dialogue is about her own beauty or grace.
55	* NaughtyNun: by the end of season 3.
56	* [[spoiler: NeverFoundTheBody]]: After season 2. In season 3, it's revealed that [[spoiler: [[ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated she's actually alive]]]].
57	* NoSocialSkills: Due to being raised by horses at a stable, her grasp of appropriate emotional responses is pretty loose.
58
59	!!'''Criquette Rockwell'''
60	-> Played by Anne Dorval
61
62	She is Brett's fiancée and Ashley's twin sister. She is a semi-celebrity, an ex-reporter, a businesswoman, a future mother, a futur doctor's wife and the only person who can read the lotto numbers, among other things. She works with Ridge in Saint-Andrew's TV studio and later becomes program director. She used to sing in a bar for deaf people, but was able to become a business woman and legend of TV with Ridge's help. Criquette is prone to wild screaming, generally for little to no reason. She also speaks Italian.
63
64	* CuteButCacophonic: Her cries of "No! NOOO!" are disturbing to say the least.
65	* GratuitousForeignLanguage: Likes to remind people that she speaks fluent Italian.
66	* HairTriggerTemper: She tends to react disproportionately, screaming at the top of her lungs and slapping people for minor offences.
67	* ImprobableHairstyle: One of her special hairstyles had a bird house in her hair.
68	* MeanBoss: She's constantly abusive towards Madge. While introducing herself during a gameshow, she cites "beating up the maid" as one of her hobbies.
69
70	!!'''Ashley Rockwell'''
71	-> Played by Anne Dorval
72
73	She is Criquette's twin sister and love interest to Peter (both of them). She appears in season one after being away from her sister during many years (they wore the same dress for the ball and stopped seeing each other after this). She is a nurse with a big heart who smiles pretty much all the time. She's also very naïve.
74
75	* DumbBlonde: she's not the brightest lantern, even in early episodes when she was less of a {{Cloudcuckoolander}}.
76	* HospitalHottie: The ubiquitous image of the sexy nurse.
77	%%* WideEyedIdealist
78
79	!!'''Brittany Jenkins'''
80	-> Played by Élise Guilbault
81
82	She is one of Brad's ex-fiancées and St Andrew's seventy-second-ranked best detective.

84	%%* CluelessDetective
85	* PrivateDetective: She's the 72th best private detective in Saint-Andrews.
86	* PsychicPowers: Develops psychic divination abilities after being shot.
87	* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Out of every character in the show, she recovers the most from apparent certain death.
88	* WaifProphet: Parodied. Britanny develops supernatural powers for the sole reason that a gunshot has left her in a wheelchair. It doesn't improve her deductive capacities one bit, however.
89
90	!!'''Madge'''
91	-> Played by Michèle Deslauriers
92
93	She is the family's loyal maid, who sticks with them no matter what and cares a lot about them, although they clearly don't. They beat her up repeatedly for no reason and everyone seems to be under the impression that she is a dangerous sexual deviant.
94
95	* ButtMonkey: Holy schntizles... I mean... Holy schnitzles. It's like nothing you've ever seen before.
96	* FirstNameBasis: One of the few main characters without a family name.
97	* FrenchMaid: Obvious parody. The other characters think she's a sexual deviant because of the way she dresses... Except Madge is actually a rather old-school, asexualized maid.
98	* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler: Brett, I am your mother.]]
99	* NiceGuy: In spite of how the other characters treat her, she almost always remains friendly and ready to help.
100	%%* NoRespectGuy
101	* PrecisionFStrike: In the second season's finale, loyal, quiet Madge lets loose a (bleeped) "Tabarnak!" (Québecois equivalent of 'fuck that shit').
102
103	!!'''Clifford Montgomery'''
104	-> Played by Marc Labrèche
105
106	He is the head of the Montgomery family and a famous maracas player. He makes his first appearance in season 3, where he travels from Florida to visit the family in St-Andrews.
107
108	* BilingualBonus: Only ever speaks in English. Some of his jokes can be missed if you don't understand it.
109
110	!!'''Crystale Bouvier-Montgomery'''
111	-> Played by Sophie Faucher
112
113	She is Brett, Brad and Brenda's mother, though she almost never remembers it due to her bad memory. When she recognizes the people around her, she plots against Brett to get her hands on the family fortune. She cannot move her facial muscles since she has had a lot of plastic surgery.
114
115	* AbusiveParents: Doesn't care one iota about her children. It's particularly bad with Brenda, as Crystale sent her away to a stable shortly after her birth when she realized that her beauty could surpass her own.
116	* GagLips: She sports some impressive ones done via plastic surgery, whenever they're not small.
117	* EvilMatriarch: She clearly doesn't love her children and only wants to keep her lush lifestyle.
118	* LadyDrunk: Always seen with a glass of champagne in hand.
119	* ParentalObliviousness: To the point that she has to be doing it on purpose. She forgets things her children tell her as they're telling her.
120
121	!!'''Ridge Taylor'''
122	-> Played by Pierre Brassard
123
124	He is the host of the popular news show Info Action 24/7. He is madly in love with Criquette and tries to win her love, even when he gets in a relationship with Megan. The guy always takes any little chance he's got to touch Criquette's boobs and try to make her love him instead in Brett.
125
126	* BigBad: Of season 3, as the culprit behind the kidnapping of Brett and Criquette's baby.
127	* EvenEvilHasStandards: As he says himself in the climax of season 3, he may be evil incarnate, but he's also a responsible citizen so he has to vote in the local elections.
128	* TheHeavy: Of the show as a whole. While he's only the BigBad in the third season, he's the most recurring antagonist and the only character to be a villain in all three seasons.
129	* HopelessSuitor: To Criquette.
130	* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: He does seem to genuinely care for Criquette, and helps the heroes a few times... But he's clearly a villain, and only cares for Criquette as his love interest.
131
132	!!'''Peter Malboro'''
133	-> Played by James Hyndman
134
135	He is a rebel cop with unorthodox methods and Ashley's love interest. He dies at the end of season 1 and becomes a spirit haunting Ashley in season 2. In season 3, it is revealed that Peter had a twin brother named Peter. They are identical, except for the fact that Peter pushes the capillary boundaries and combs his hair to the left. Peter number 2 is a man of action, and is certainly NOT homosexual.
136
137	* LimitedWardrobe: Taken to its absurd logical extreme, as Peter and his twin only had one set of clothes, leaving one of them to stay back home in his underwear.
138	* TheLostLenore: Peter 1 to Ashley.
139	* TestosteronePoisoning: Peter 2 always makes sure to emphasize his manliness. To put things in perspective, his mildest action is to show he carries around a door solely so [[OpenSaysMe he can kick it down]].
140
141	!!'''Megan Barrington-Montgomery'''
142	-> Played by Macha Grenon
143
144	She is Brett's ex-wife and a drug addict who works at the TV studio. She is in love with Ridge, and they are fiancés for a while. Megan is slightly hyper-active and her drug problems (or maybe just her personality) makes her very very stupid. She became famous for her report on how to put on a sweater (it took her a few hours) and has her own show called [[ExactlyWhatItSaysontheTin Megan Holds A Microphone In Front Of Someone Famous.]]
145
146	* DumbBlonde: Maybe it's the drugs, maybe it's just her, but she's even more stupid than all the other characters combined.
147	* SuperiorSuccessor: Ridge believes her to be this when he replaces Criquette as his star reporter, despite the fact that she's hopelessly incompetent at most things, reporter duties included.
148	* TooDumbToLive: Her attempts at getting rid of Criquette are laughably lethal to herself, as she wound up repeatedly smelling her own chloroform even when standing ''on top of a brick wall'' ([[NotTheFallThatKillsYou though she did survive the ensuing fall]]).
149
150	!!'''Becky Walters'''
151	-> Played by Pascale Bussières
152
153	She is Brad's wife and Chris's mother. She created and commercialized the beauty cream Lady Coquette. She says her hobby is trying to kill Criquette. She often scares people with her ability to appear from nowhere. During season 3, she becomes Brad's rival when she tries to become mayor of Saint-Andrews.
154
155	* BigBad: [[spoiler: Of season 1, as the true culprit behind the death of Brett's father and the assassination attempt on Criquette.]]
156	* CardCarryingVillain: During a gameshow, she introduces herself as a murderer and proudly claims that her hobby is "killing Criquette Rockwell".
157	* EasilyForgiven: While no one really likes her, they still consider her part of the family after season 1.
158	* NeverFoundTheBody: After the great season 1 finale. They did find a roasted chicken and fried potatoes, but no expert managed to say if it really was her remains.
159
160
161	!!'''Reverend [=MacDougall=]'''
162	-> Played by Jean-Michel Anctil
163
164	He is Brett and Criquette's spiritual advisor, specialized in couple problems. He is also a black belt in karate, even though he hates violence and conflict.
165
166	!!'''Lewis'''
167	-> Played by Patrice Coquereau
168
169	He is the only waiter working at the restaurant Royal Coconut Grill Club. His life is miserable : he tried to commit suicide when his mother died and he has to work as a waiter despite his two BAs (one in philosophy and the other in African dancing). Despite the fact that he is the only waiter, he seems to be very unimportant since the restaurant replaced him with a salad bar after his plane crashed in the desert.
170
171	* CharacterTics: He invariably rests his hand on his left cheek when someone tells him a shocking declaration.
172	* FirstNameBasis: One of the few main characters without a family name.
173	* TheJeeves: He is very courteous and fits all the characteristics, even though he doesn't work for anyone in particular and isn't British (as far as we know).
174	* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: He tends to make a high-pitched cry when someone tells a shocking revelation, though this gets dropped by season 2.
175
176	!!'''Bo Bellingsworthhhh'''
177	-> Played by Stéphane Rousseau
178
179	He is one of Criquette's ex-fiancés and love interest to Brenda. He is a fashion photographer and adventurer who likes to impress women and cares a lot about his looks.
180
181	%%* AlliterativeName
182	* BerserkButton: In his first appearance, if anyone mentioned a woman or even said the word ''woman'' (or anything that made him THINK about a woman), he promptly threw a punch around.
