242	* BitchInSheepsClothing: At first, June seems very supportive and caring to both her patients and Casey. It is later revealed that she just says whatever her patients want to hear to get them to open up to her.

252
253	* CoolOldGuy: He is a middle aged security guard and has a good relationship with Casey and the other doctors of Edenbrook.

271	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite his extremely competitive nature and rivalry with Ethan, he's still willing to put their differences aside to work on a cure for the toxin in Book 2, Chapter 11. If Casey thanks him, [[WhenHeSmiles he gives a genuine smile]].

299	* ThePollyanna: Despite being aware that she has to be bound to the hospital to prolong her lifespan, she tries to be very peppy. According to the hospital staff, she has been playing pranks on the doctors and nurses, to the point some of them will miss the salt in their coffees.

If she is chosen to speak at Casey's hearing, she explains that Casey took her advice to heart and managed to keep her alive because of it, and promptly calls out the panel for not teaching their interns properly.
320
321	!!Remy
322	A patient with a genetic disorder that will cause him to develop distal muscular dystrophy later in his life
323
324	* HeroicBSOD: Generally upbeat and relaxed, he has a breakdown if Casey tells him that he might lose the use of his legs by age 40. After he gets over it, he has time to rethink his life and make the most of it.

339	* GassHole: He can't seem to go two sentences without belching.

Eventually, Ethan and Casey discover through one of her many videos that she got a tapeworm after eating beef tartare. Casey can advice her to keep this private before they lay it on her. If Casey tells her in private instead of live streaming it, she still shares it with her followers, but thanks Casey for giving her the option.
357
358	!!Leland Bloom
359	* BigBad: Of Book 3. With Edenbrooke under his control, he makes it his mission to direct all research into finding a cure for his wife, all the other patients be damned. When Ethan tries to resist, Bloom does everything in his power to get Ethan out of his way, even slamming him with a malpractice suit to get him fired from Edenbrook once and for all.
360	* CantHaveSexEver: Near the end of Book 2, he learns that he overproduces Immunoglobulin A which his wife is violently allergic to, meaning that he can never ''physically touch'' her again, let alone have sex with her again. This is torture for such a physically affectionate couple [[spoiler: and what prompts him to buy and save Edenbrook, to hopefully find a cure for their conditions so they can touch again.]]
361	* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: While Leland is not evil, and more of a self-centered rich guy, he reasons that he will pay anything as long as he gets more time to be with his wife.
362	* LaserGuidedKarma: He uses his influence to get himself a new kidney, which implies that he basically stole the turn from another patient who was waiting for the organ who knows how long.

363	* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Leland has the belief that he can get everything in life by buying it or bribing his way up, even his health.

Ethan and Casey have doubts over how much it cost (economically and morally) Leland to get that kidney so quickly.
364
365	!!Stephanie Hill
366	A woman who's spent 13 years in a coma after a drug overdose.
367
368	* BungledSuicide: She deliberately took an overdose of her prescription medication after being unable to cope with her anxiety anymore. Rather than the overdose killing her, it led to her being in a coma for nearly half her life.
369	* ImprobablyQuickComaRecovery: Averted. Instead of having a ConvenientComa, Stephanie at first has trouble with her speech and use of her legs when she wakes up. She is being told that she will need a lot of physical rehab before returning to the real world.
370
371	!!Senator Ed Farrugia
372
373	* BitchInSheepsClothing: He appears to be a correct authority figure who is set to help the average citizen. Casey discovers that he is as corrupt and opportunistic as any other politician.
374	* CorruptPolitician: Despite advocating for a Addiction rehabilitation bill, he drops it in favor of bribes from his donors, with the reasoning that he needs to climb higher for the greater good.
375	* CreateYourOwnVillain: Casey finds out that during his time as a mayor, he was involved in a lead poisoning incident that killed three people [[spoiler:, one of them the brother of his assistant Travis, who was plotting to kill him for ten years.]]
376	* KarmaHoudini: After everything that happens in Chapter 11, [[spoiler:he gets no comeuppance for his actions, which caused the deaths of at least six people overall.]]
377	* KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:How Travis intended to kill him. Since his brother died of lead poisoning during his time as a mayor, Travis was slowly poisoning him by putting lead in his drinks. Averted, since the diagnostics team detected the cause, so Travis looked for an alternative way to kill him.]]
378	* LackOfEmpathy: If Ethan decides to confront him, Ed hardly feels bad for getting away, while the people who got in the crossfire protecting him (one of them already dead, while other was in a coma) are in critical condition.
379	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: His past failures as a mayor ended up [[spoiler:in an asasination attempt from his assistant, which ended up causing the deaths of the latter, Bobby and Danny, and almost killing Rafael and Casey as well]].
380	* WalkingSpoiler: His role as Patient of the Week is the direct cause of the tragic events in Chapters 10 and 11.

385	* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler:His death gets Edenbrook in deep trouble, since his parents want to sue the hospital, with a big suspicion on Esme performing an assisted suicide on his request, which is illegal in Boston. Casey is forced to choose between backing Esme or blaming her entirely.]]

389	[[folder: Other people in Boston]]
390	!!Farley
391	The landlord of the apartment Casey, Jackie, Sienna, Elijah, and Landry live in.
392
393	* BerserkButton: Communists. He first gets angry when Elijah suggests offering him free consultations in exchange for their rent. If Casey chooses the Premium option to convince him, one of the arguments can be telling him that the tech developers are not guaranteed to keep paying their rent, and the basis of start-ups sound to him like communism.
394	* BigEater: He is seen enjoying Sienna's cookies during the apartment showcase. If Casey decides to convince him to give them the nice apartment, one option is to offer him weekly batches of Sienna's cookies.
395	* FriendsRentControl: Subverted. He charges a high rent for the penthouse, and can only be convinced to give it to the gang via Premium option. Otherwise, he offers them the garden level apartment, which is much less expensive but nowhere near as nice.
396
397	!!Wayne
398	Sienna's boyfriend. [[spoiler:She eventually breaks up with him.]]
399
400	* HateSink: He is intended to be a very unlikable character due to his narcissism and rude behavior, going so far as to get angry at his girlfriend for "wasting his time" when she was too busy ''tending to the victims of a serious accident'' to meet up with him.
401	* ItsAllAboutMe: He appears at the hospital because Sienna stood him up for a date. His girlfriend has been a whole shift attending victims of a subway crash, covered in blood, and he is only concerned about her wasting his only free spot in his busy schedule.
402	* {{Jerkass}}: The gang hates him for being condescending, rude and dismissive of Sienna. He claims that his job is very demanding and important, even though Sienna's job as a doctor is as stressful as his or even more so. Every time he's brought up, Jackie makes it clear how much she dislikes him. Even Bryce, who only talked to him for a few minutes, acknowledges that he's a jerk.
403	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Chapter 14 has him on the receiving end of one in a premium choice by Casey and Sienna.
404
405	!!Phoebe
406	The gang's neighbor who has a mutual crush on Elijah
407
408	* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She stops appearing after Book 1. Unlike several other characters who are written out of the series between Books 2 and 3, she's never even mentioned after the end of Book 1, with even ''Landry'' (who was {{Unperson}}ed by the gang for what he did to Casey) getting at least one more appearance/mention.
409	* GirlNextDoor: She is the gang's neighbor and Elijah's love interest.

421	* AbhorrentAdmirer: He's attracted to Harper Emery, who shuns him for being a scumbag.
422	* BigBad: The main antagonist of Book 1.
423	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He is considerably more focused on profits than patients. When Casey's request to treat Mrs. Martinez with a drug Panacea produces is denied, Bryce suggests that it was because Panacea would make far more money treating her symptoms than actually curing her. Also, at Casey's hearing, it's strongly implied that he bribed some of the doctors on the panel.
424	* DisproportionateRetribution: He once ruined a man's career for breaking his toy back in kindergarten.
425	* HateSink: He's greedy, selfish, makes unwanted advances on Harper, and tried to ruin Casey's career. [[spoiler: Who wouldn't want to punch him in the face?]]
426	* PutOnABus: After his crimes are exposed, Nash is written out of the series, but not before throwing one last SpannerInTheWorks by preventing the merger of Edenbrook and Mass Kenmore from happening.
427	* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: According to Ramsey, Declan has a big ego and tends to gloat after winning.

436
437	* CharacterCustomization: Sora is the same gender as Casey.
438	* RomanticFalseLead: In Book 2, Rafael starts dating Sora again after he and Casey didn't work out during the TimeSkip. In Chapter 11, Sora realizes that Rafael still has feelings for Casey.
439	* SatelliteLoveInterest: To Rafael. Sora has no characterization beyond being Rafael's partner, preventing any romantic interactions between Casey and Rafael. After Sora breaks up with Rafael, they stop appearing for the rest of the series.
440	* WetBlanketWife: Sora decides to break up with Rafael because of his ChronicHeroSyndrome, which also was connected to Rafael still having feelings for Casey.
441
442	!!Travis Perry
443	Senator Ed Farrugia’s assistant
444
445	* BigBrotherInstinct: [[spoiler:His main motivation to kill Senator Farrugia is to avenge the death of his brother, who died of lead poisoning when Farrugia was mayor of his hometown.]]
446	* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:Since he also got poisoned by his maitotoxin, his last moments alive were extremely painful and agonizing, which let Ethan have more information on his symptoms. Ethan can either help him with the pain or just let him suffer.]]
447	* NeverMyFault: When Ethan confronts him [[spoiler:for killing Bobby and infecting Casey and the others, he hardly feels sorry, since They got in the way of killing Farrugia]].
448	* SourSupporter: After Casey discovers that Ed Farrugia is really a CorruptPolitician and a liar, Travis let’s out that he secretly hates him, but has to tolerate him for the greater good. [[spoiler:It got to the point of Travis poisoning him gradually.]]
449	* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:When His attempt to poison Senator Farrugia is foiled, he tried to kill him with a mysterious biological weapon, not caring if he was also caught up with it. While he failed to get the Senator, he instead causes his own death, along with Bobby and Danny, and almost kills Casey and Rafael as well.]]
450	* WalkingSpoiler: His actions trigger the biggest conflict of Book 2 Chapter 11. [[spoiler:He is responsible for trying to kill Senator Farrugia, resulting in the direct deaths of Bobby and Danny, and almost killing Casey and Rafael.]]

460
461	!!Dr. Landry Olsen
462	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/openheartlandry.jpg]]
463	An internal medicine intern at Edenbrook Hospital and one of Casey's roommates
464
465	* BitchInSheepsClothing: At first, he seems to be a nervous wreck who idolizes Ethan Ramsey, [[spoiler: Then he is shown to be so obsessed with working with his idol and jealous of Casey for their closeness with Ethan that he will do anything to sabotage them.]]
466	* CannotTalkToWomen: He is very shy about asking girls out. Casey can sympathize with him or offer to be his wingman.
467	* DrJerk: He's implied to show disregard for patients, such as [[spoiler:turning off Casey's pager and messing with their charts, putting patients at risk of misdiagnoses in the process]]. Rafael also added that he determines what patients can do for him rather than what he can do for them.
468	* FalseFriend: [[spoiler:He sabotaged Casey's pager, hid their charts, spread malicious gossip about them, and told Mrs. Martinez's relatives that they administered the vaccine that contributed to Mrs. Martinez's death, putting them and the hospital in jeopardy.]]
469	* ForScience: As a doctor, he's more interested in the science behind patient cases than the well-being of patients.
470	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Although Landry is willingly invited to live in the apartment with the other main interns at the beginning of book one, it will become apparent that he does not fit in. He is introverted to the point of being withdrawn, and no amount of interaction with him will make him become more friendly. He also has no premium interactions available, hinting that he won’t stick around. This becomes HarsherInHindsight during the victory celebration at Donahue’s if he is the last person you choose to speak to. [[spoiler:He is surrounded by people noisily celebrating your victory with everyone pointedly ignoring him, and he leaves before you can speak to him, completely dejected.]]
471	* GreenEyedMonster: [[spoiler:His reason for sabotaging Casey in the competition is that he is jealous of Casey becoming Ethan's favorite.]]
472	* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:He claims that he felt obligated to inform Mrs. Martinez's relatives about the circumstances of her death because Casey's behavior was a violation of medical ethics. Then Casey discovers that way before that, he was sabotaging Casey by turning off their pager, messing with their charts, and giving them a bad reputation with the nurses, therefore being even more unethical.]]
473	* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:He was never held accountable for sabotaging Casey.]]
474	* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: Although Landry avoids any outright punishment in Book 1, it is also made very clear that he would not have been welcome to stay at Edenbrook. Casey has the opportunity to take revenge on him in book 2 at the baseball game. [[spoiler: If you didn’t choose the diamond option to prepare for the game, you actually ''must'' hit him on the final play of the game or Edenbrook will lose.]]
475	* LackOfEmpathy: The main reason he has never reached the top of the rankings, despite his extensive theoretical knowledge, is because he doesn't care about knowing details on his patients lives.
476	* NeverMyFault: After the reveal [[spoiler:that he was the one sabotaging Casey, he explains that he never felt Casey acted like a friend to him because Casey never put word about him with Dr. Ramsey, and even blamed Casey for having so many chances to be near Ramsey, while he never even attempted to talk to him directly. Then blames Casey for being ranked higher than him despite how much he studies, completely forgetting that the job also includes talking and getting to know their patients as people, which he is completely incapable of. When Jackie, Sienna and Elijah agree that what he did to Casey was awful, Landry was more shocked that the others "took Casey's side".]]
477	* NewMeat: Just like Casey, he's also a new intern.
478	* NoSocialSkills: Despite being a knowledgeable doctor, his ranking is affected by his difficulty at small talk with the patients, while Casey can either tell him that knowing their patients is either part of the job or what makes it an exciting profession.
479	* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: Whether you talk to him or not after the hearing, he's transferring to Mass Kenmore. He is seen again in the softball game between Edenbrooke and Mass Kenmore in Book 2, Chapter 8, before disappearing for the rest of the series.]]
480	* TechnicianVsPerformer: [[spoiler: The crux of what separates him from Casey in terms of their approaches to their work, Landry gets up earlier, works harder, has better outcomes, but he’s cold and clinical in his assessments and doesn’t take time to get to know his patients and listen. Casey on the other hand is less polished and lets the situations of the patients get to them, but is warmer and more empathetic and able to come up with diagnoses based off what the patients told them about their lives.]]
481	* {{Unperson}}: In Book 2, Elijah refers to him as "He Who Shall Not Be Named".
482	* WalkingSpoiler: Much of his true character after Chapter 14 is this!
483	* WhatTheHellHero: Gives one of these to Casey for wanting to steal an experimental treatment from Panacea Labs.
