10
11	[[folder:The Chapmans]]
12	!!Bill & Carol Chapman
13	->'''Played By:''' Creator/DeborahRush & Creator/BillHoag
14
15	Piper's affluent, appearance-conscious parents.
16	----
17	* AlliterativeName: Apparently they call their children "Perfect Piper", [[TheGhost "Danny The Doctor"]] and (lately) "Creative Cal".
18	* UpperClassTwit: Both of them are living in their own affluent bubble.
19	* WhiteAngloSaxonProtestant: They're stereotypical [=WASPs=]; upper-class and out-of-touch suburbanites.
20	[[/folder]]
21
22	[[folder:Carol]]
23	!!Carol Chapman
24	->'''Played By:''' Creator/DeborahRush
25
26	Piper's mother. Carol, catty and seemingly humorless, doesn't seem as supportive as Piper thinks she should be, and their visitations are usually awkward. She is rather formal and conventional, treating Piper's prison stay as a shame upon the family (and herself).
27	----
28	* AlliterativeName: '''C'''arol '''C'''hapman
29	* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: I Want My Daughter To Be Happy: When Piper tells her that she [[spoiler: wants to be with Alex forever,]] her response can be summed up as this.
30	* ParentsAsPeople: She behaves like stereotypical critical, appearance-conscious and overbearing nightmare of a young woman's mother. However, as Nicky points out to a whining Piper, she still doesn't disown her daughter after the latter is imprisoned, visits her and tries (with limited success) adjust to that situation.
31	* StepfordSmiler: In a flashback, it is revealed that Piper once caught her father cheating with another woman while sneaking out to watch a movie. Upon learning this from Piper, Carol refuses to acknowledge the cheating and instead grounds Piper for seeing the movie.
32	* TheBusCameBack: In Season 5, [[spoiler: Piper and her talk on the phone as Carol sits outside the prison, waiting for the riot to break.]]
33	[[/folder]]
34
35	[[folder:Bill]]
36	!!Bill Chapman
37	->'''Played By:''' Creator/BillHoag
38
39	Piper's father. Bill is outwardly supportive of his daughter but causes a rift with Piper when he refuses to visit her in prison, because "he doesn't want to see his daughter that way".
40	----
41	* BrokenPedestal: Twice. Bill cheats on Carol, which devastates young Piper, and then he refuses to come and see her because he doesn't want to see her like that.
42	* DaddysGirl: Bill and Piper very much had this relationship before she went to prison.
43	* GoodParents: Bill's infidelity aside, he was generally a very good and supportive father to his kids. However, when Piper is placed in prison he refuses to see her and on the one occasion he does visit her (her birthday) he spends the entire time looking dour before criticizing her and abruptly leaving.
44	* ParentsAsPeople: Bill was unfaithful to Carol and didn't handle Piper's arrest well, refusing to see her while inside, but he realizes his mistake and helps her out upon her release, hiring her at his office and giving her relationship advice that shows he wants her to be happy.
45	[[/folder]]

47	[[folder:Cal]]
48	!!Cal Chapman
49	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chapman_cal_6892.jpg]]
50	->'''Played By:''' Creator/MichaelChernus
51
52	Piper's younger brother. Their parents long favored the high-achieving Piper and let Cal become a sarcastic, underachieving slacker. Since Piper's incarceration, their parents have begun expecting more of him, much to his dismay. He is friends with Larry, who often visits him at his trailer in the middle of nowhere, which he eventually shares with his hippie girlfriend (and later fiancée) Neri.
53	----
54	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Averted. Cal's seems like the type who would fit perfectly into this trope for someone like Piper, but is actually the least annoying member from the Chapman clan and he and Piper have a great sibling relationship.
55	* BigFun: A rounder guy who is extremely friendly and funny.
56	* BlackComedy: No situation seems to be able to make Cal stop cracking jokes.
57	* BrutalHonesty: He tells it like it is to Piper, despite the fact that she's in prison and generally won't want to hear it.
58	* CloudCuckoolander: Once as a child, he attempted to shoot his cat to the moon on a rocket. It ended up starting a fire in the house.
59	* FourthDateMarriage: Had been dating his girlfriend for two months before proposing to her. And then marries her shortly afterwards. At his grandmother's funeral.
60	* [[GranolaGirl Granola Guy]]: Cal lives in a trailer in the woods and is dedicated to 'authentic living', which includes hunting your food (though he cheats with store-bought chicken) and edging.
61	* GenreSavvy: To a point. In the third season he jokes about Piper becoming a trope (using that exact word) and points out that she isn't as badass as she thinks she's become, even making a rather humorous reference to Walter White from Series/BreakingBad, saying she's not quite up there with him yet in terms of being an intimidating VillainProtagonist.
62	* MyGirlIsASlut: When he finds out that Neri is [[MyGirlIsNotASlut lying about all of her wild erotic stories]], he is heartbroken.
63	* NiceGuy: He's an honest, non-judgmental friendly fellow. By the start of Season 3, Cal is the only person in Piper's life outside of prison who still cares about her and hasn't distanced themselves from her.
64	* TheUnfavourite: In the backstory, Cal was the least successful of the three Chapman children; now that Piper's a convict, though, he mentions that his parents have suddenly taken an interest and use deceptively complimentary language when talking about him to their friends.
65	[[/folder]]
66
67	[[folder:Neri]]
68	!!Neri Feldman
69	->'''Played By:''' Creator/TraceeChimo
70
71	A hyperbaric welder who is married to Cal Chapman.
72	----
73	* GenkiGirl: She is cheerful, energetic and very up for the challenge for her family responsibilities, such as sending a flaming poo to her sister-in-law's disloyal friend.
74	[[/folder]]
75
76	[[folder:Polly]]
77	!!Polly Harper
78	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/harper_polly_2334.jpg]]
79	[[caption-width-right:350:''"Adventure is just hardship with an inflated sense of self."'']]
80	->'''Played By:''' Creator/MariaDizzia
81
82	Piper's best friend of many years on the outside. Polly and Piper started a business together, which Polly runs while Piper is in prison.
83	----
84	* DeadpanSnarker: She's the Queen of snark.
85	-->''"I like being the target of envy. It means I'm winning."''
86	%%* ItsAllAboutMe
87	* {{Jerkass}}: Gets indignant at Piper for not putting her mundane personal problems as a higher concern than her prison horrors, and runs Piper's dreams of starting a company into the ground due to being too distracted by her pregnancy to deal with it.
88	* JerkassHasAPoint: A lot of her actions lean toward ItsAllAboutMe, but she does have a point in that she and Larry shouldn't be expected to constantly downplay and ignore their own day-to-day problems just because Piper is in prison.
89	* PutOnABus: After she gets together with Larry, both of them are out of Piper's life.
90	* VitriolicBestBuds: With Piper.
91	[[/folder]]
92
93	[[folder:Pete]]
94	!!Pete Harper
95	->'''Played By:''' Creator/NickStevenson
96
97	Polly's Australian husband and a friend of Larry and Piper. A running gag is that most characters dislike him to varying degrees and are confused about why Polly married him. He is seen to be somewhat annoying, selfish, and flighty, especially when he leaves on a trip of self-discovery shortly after his son was born.
98	----
99	* TheAlcoholic: He tends to drink too much and is defensive about it, insisting "I'm not an alcoholic, I'm Australian".
100	* AwesomeAussie: Subverted. He does go on a lot of wild journeys, such as to Alaska, but this makes him an asshole because ''his wife has just given birth''.
101	* CanonForeigner: He's Australian.
102	* DisposableFiance: In Larry and Polly's romance their relationship to Piper is treated like an obstacle. The existence of Polly's husband is largely forgotten.
103	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: A RunningGag from Season 1 is the fact that all of Polly's friends have at least one quality of Pete's that they find extremely annoying and unlikable.
104	* {{Jerkass}}: Shortly after Polly gives birth to their child, he decides to take a personal self-discovery voyage to Alaska, completing neglecting any of her needs.
105	* JerkassHasAPoint: While he is certainly not great husband or father material, his anger at being cheated on by his wife with his friend was still unwarranted. The [[KickTheSonOfABitch punch to Larry's face]] was very much justified.
106	* ItsAllAboutMe: An even worse example than his wife. Shortly after Polly gives birth to their child, he decides to take a personal self-discovery voyage to Alaska, completing neglecting any of her needs.
107	* ManChild: Is completely unwilling to embrace his new fatherhood duties, instead taking a trip to Alaska to have fun.
108	* RomanticRunnerUp: To Larry.
109	[[/folder]]
110
111	[[folder:Howard & Amy]]
112	!!Howard Bloom & Amy Kanter-Bloom
113	->'''Played By:''' Creator/ToddSusman & Creator/KathrynKates
114
115	Larry's parents. Though he is her lawyer, Larry's dad dislikes Piper and feels that Larry is making a mistake by being with her. They own the home where Larry is living, and let him slide on the rent. Howard wants Larry to find a real job and encourages him to lie to Piper about who really named her in her criminal case.
116	----
117	* AllJewsAreCheapSkates: In Howard's view having a Groupon is enough of a reason to visit a gay sauna.
118	* JewishMother: Amy. "Larry, ''you have to come''!"
119	* MamaBear: They're both devoted to their son's well-being, although this means wanting to cut Piper out of the picture.
120	* PapaWolf: They're both devoted to their son's well-being, although this means wanting to cut Piper out of the picture.
121	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Howard, at least, is nice but stern when Piper lies under oath, having tried to help her get out of prison.
122	* TheStoic: Howard is unmovable.
123	[[/folder]]
124
125	[[folder:Larry]]
126	!!Larry Bloom
127	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bloom_larry_8369.jpg]]
128	[[caption-width-right:350:''"Why would I want a felonious, former lesbian, [[WhiteAngloSaxonProtestant WASP]], Shiksa, about to go to prison, to marry me?"'']]
129	->'''Played By:''' Creator/JasonBiggs
130
131	A Jewish freelance writer trying to establish a journalism career, and Piper's insecure, somewhat selfish fiancé. He is blindsided at the beginning of the series when his then girlfriend Piper reveals to him her former life as a lesbian who smuggled cash for a drug cartel 10 years ago. Larry is initially very supportive of Piper, and proposes marriage to her before she goes inside. As the series progresses, he begins to cool toward her, becoming upset when he learns that Piper's former lover is in the same prison and that she didn't tell him about it.
132	----
133	* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Similarly to Alex. The real life Larry was a rather averagely-looking guy, while the TV Larry is slim, muscular and, well, looks like Jason Biggs.
134	* BettyAndVeronica: The 'marriage and kids and normalcy' Betty to Alex's Veronica.
135	* DisposableFiance: During the first season.
136	* InsecureLoveInterest: He doesn't think very highly of himself.
137	* ItsAllAboutMe:
138	** Like Polly, he was understandable at first in realizing that his problems don't stop mattering just because he's not the one in prison. He gets more like this as time goes on and he realizes that he can benefit from Piper's struggles.
139	** Even if he makes some legitimate points during his break-up with Piper in late Season 1, the fact that he decides to start bitching about his problems with the relationship ''immediately after Piper told him someone was trying to kill her'' really doesn't reflect well on his character.
140	* {{Jerkass}}: Pretty early on starts to break little promises he made to Piper, such as not watching Series/MadMen without her. Though he takes a firm step into this direction once he started writing articles and radio interviews about Piper's experience without her consent or awareness, profiting off of her own misery.
141	* JerkassHasAPoint: He knows Piper has it worse than him, but he's aware that he doesn't live in a vacuum in Piper's absence. He confesses that he feels lonely and frustrated without her, needing just as much of their missed affection as she does and that he shouldn't be considered an asshole for having issues just because he's not the one in prison. He also calls Piper out for cheating on him while in prison.
142	* NiceGuy: Drops everything to help Piper when they first meet after she'd been bit by a dog. In the earliest episodes, it's clear how much he loves his girlfriend.
143	* NiceJewishBoy: At first but then the nice starts to slip when his relationship with Piper becomes more strained.
144	** Does the same with Polly.
145	* PutOnABus: After getting together with Polly, he's no longer part of Piper's life, and as a result he's completely absent from Season 3, being mentioned only once.
146	* RidiculouslyAverageGuy: He knows that Piper's incarceration is the most interesting thing about him. He's not happy about it. Polly also describes him as 'boring in the right way'.
147	* RomanticRunnerUp: To Alex, with Piper. Then inverts it with Polly.
148	* TallDarkAndHandsome: He fits that type physically. Which leads to a funny scene when he meets Alex for the first time and realizes she [[AloofDarkHairedGirl surpasses him]] [[StatuesqueStunner in those fields]] despite being a woman. Apparently Piper HasAType after all.
149	[[/folder]]
150
151	!Sophia's Family
152
153	[[folder:Crystal]]
154	!!Crystal Burset
155	->'''Played By:''' Creator/TanyaWright
156
157	Sophia's wife Crystal was supportive of Sophia's transition into a woman, but encouraged her not to have sex reassignment surgery. In any case, Crystal felt it was better that her son have a father who was there for him, even if it was in a dress. She sometimes visits Sophia in prison and updates her on their son.
158	----
159	* DisappearedDad: Her father was never around, which is part of the reason she supported Sophia's transition; she saw it better that their son have two moms than a dead dad.
160	* GoodParents: She goes out of her way to let Michael have a full family after Sophia's transition and tries to raise him well. When Michael goes astray she recognizes -- in contrast to [[NeverMyFault Sophia]] -- that it can't be blamed on Gloria's son influence but on their son difficult family situation and some shitty parental advices he's gotten from a desperate Sophia.
161	* UnderstandingBoyfriend: Rather, Understanding Wife. She supported Sophia during her transition and even after she had gone to prison for fraud.
162	* WhatTheHellHero: She is the one to deliver it occasionally to Sophia, be it for endangering family's well-being with her crime, being selfish and not letting Crystal find happiness, or teaching Michael not to respect women and using people.
163	[[/folder]]
164
165	[[folder:Michael]]
166	!!Michael Burset
167	->'''Played By:''' Creator/MichaelRaineyJr
168
169	Sophia and Crystal's son. He has difficulty with accepting Sophia's transitioning and eventually is the one to turn her in and cuts her from his life for a time, though later he resumes the contact. In the third season he starts displaying delinquent behavior.
170	----
171	* EveryoneHasStandards: Bratty as he is, he is (at least initially) disturbed by Sophia's fatherly advice to use an insecure girl as a practice target to gain experience in dating, and asks Sophia if she really wants to be a woman in a world like that.
172	* FreudianExcuse: For all his callous behavior, it's not hard to see from where his anger issues are coming from.
173	* {{Jerkass}}: He is not acting very pleasant from the very beginning, culminating in the third season when he beats other kids for "looking at him funny" and feeds his mother lovely requests like "stop riding his dick".
174	* UsedToBeASweetKid: By Sophia's words. He doesn't show any sweetness in any of his appearances, so it must have been before her transition.
175	[[/folder]]

177	!Alex's Family & Friends
178	[[folder:Diane Vause]]
179	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/diane_vause.jpg]]
180	[[caption-width-right:350:Diane Vause]]
181	!!Diane Vause
182	->'''Played By:''' Creator/KimDirector
183	Alex's mother.
184	----
185	* MamaBear: She disliked whenever her daughter was getting picked on at school for being underprivileged and tells Alex to forget the bullies and reminds her daughter she's special.
186	[[/folder]]
187	[[folder:Lee Burley]]
188
189	[[quoteright:334:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/4842971_orig.jpg]]
190	[[caption-width-right:334:Lee Burley]]
191	!!Lee Burley
192	->'''Played By:''' Creator/LawtonPaseka
193	Alex's biological rock-star father.
194	----
195	* LukeYouAreMyFather: How he and Alex meet.
196	* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Lee tries to express his new fatherly love of Alex on their first meeting, but he really shouldn't have said such sexual things about his own daughter whom he just met to his bandmates in front of her.
197	* PervertDad: He goes on to make unintentional but inappropriate comments about Alex; that she has a "serious rack", and that he could have "accidentally fucked her", to Alex's embarrassment.
198	* UglyGuyHotWife: He and Alex's mother weren't married, but he is unattractive in comparison to both his daughter Alex and her mother Diane.
199	[[/folder]]
200	[[folder:Kubra]]
201	!!Kubra Balik
202	->'''Played By:''' Creator/EyasYounis
203
204	* AffablyEvil: He might be the most dangerous character in the entire show, but he's also very personable and charismatic.
205	* BadBoss: Both this and BenevolentBoss. While he's fine with killing his employees for repeated failures, he's surprisingly understanding toward Alex. Whereas he killed Fahri, he recognizes that Alex has a drug problem, forgives her for her error and even sends her to a top-notch rehab facility on his own dime.
206	* BaldOfEvil: A shiny-headed drug kingpin.
207	* TheDreaded: Absolutely everyone is straight-up terrified of this guy, and with good reason: he's smart, ruthless, vengeful, connected and has a long reach.
208	* GreaterScopeVillain: His presence drives most of Alex's storyline in Season 2 and 3, when she had testified against him. Other than that, he doesn't have any effect on the other characters.
209	* ILoveTheDead: Downplayed. When he texts his hitman to confirm that Alex has indeed died, he asks for two photos. One of the body, then one of her tits.
210	* YouHaveFailedMe: He has Fahri killed for failing him.
211	[[/folder]]

215	->'''Played By:''' Creator/JuriHenleyCohn
216
217	* CurbStompBattle: Is literally curbstomped by Lolly.
218	* SmallRoleBigImpact: After threatening Alex in the Season 3 finale, he's killed in the Season 4 premiere by Loli and Alex. He's then buried in the garden. His body, which is found during the digging in construction, creates a lot of problems in the end of Season 4.
219	[[/folder]]
220
221	[[folder:Fahri]]
222	!!Fahri
223	->'''Played By:''' Creator/SebastianLeCause
224
225	* AffablyEvil: He's a drug dealer/smuggler, sure, but he's a fun guy and one of Alex's closest friends.
226	* BoomHeadshot: By one of Kubra's assassins.
227	* ProperlyParanoid: He was terrified that Kubra was going to kill him; he was right.
228	[[/folder]]
229
230	[[folder:Jessica Wedge]]
231	!!Jessica Wedge
232	->'''Played By:''' Creator/SabrinaCarpenter
233
234	A childhood bully of Alex Vause.
235	----
236	* JerkAss: She enjoys tormenting Alex simply because her shoes aren't actual Nike shoes.
237	* RichBitch: She and her friends grew up privileged and take great joy in mocking Alex for being poor.
238	* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: She isn't seen or mentioned again after her appearance in a childhood flashback of Alex's.

241	!Other Outside Characters
242
243	[[folder:Cesar]]
244	!!Cesar
245	->'''Played By:''' Creator/BertoColon
246
247	Aleida's boyfriend, who ran a drug-cutting operation in her kitchen.
248	----
249	* AbusiveParents: He pulls a gun on one of the kids when he won't eat his food (which comes from the dumpsters of fast food chains).
250	* BaldOfEvil: He's a bald drug dealer.
251	* EvenEvilHasStandards: He may be an abusive, adulterous criminal, but ''even he'' thinks that abandoning one's pregnant girlfriend is deplorable. Of course, he thinks it's less awful after the child has been born ("even your loser father stuck around until you was two"), and believes it's okay to cheat in the meantime, but it's better than nothing.
252	* FauxAffablyEvil: Cesar seems like a fun guy, save for the fact that he's a deeply messed up individual who can turn on you on a dime.
253	* ManipulativeBastard: He essentially uses Aleida to further his drug-cutting operation, dropping her once she gets caught while he remains a free man.
254	* MoralLuck:
255	-->He had one leg! I mean, going around losing body parts? That's some pretty irresponsible shit!
256	* PapaWolf: After learning Daya is pregnant, he immediately heads up to Litchfield to make sure Bennett is on the level (though Bennett had no idea that she is pregnant). Also happens in "Trust No Bitch" when he's willing to fight off DEA agents to keep them from taking not just his children as well as Aleida's, but also Daya's baby as well.
257	* PetTheDog: Cesar has strong, if twisted sense of loyalty to Aleida and their family. He's made clear he's not going to leave her, considers her children his own (though maybe one of them biologically is), cares about Daya and is willing to take care of her child and goes on a full PapaWolf action when the DEA agents bust his family.
258	** After Benett leaves and Daya blames herself, he assures her that it's not her fault, she did nothing to deserve it, and that leaving is on him, not on her.
259	* PutOnABusToHell: After he gets arrested in the Season 3 finale, Aleida claims that he'll get little-to-no punishment thanks to his expensive lawyer. It turns out that he's committed so many crimes that his lawyer can't fight them all off, leading to him being convicted for conspiracy and assaulting police officers, and given a prison sentence that's implied to be at least a couple of decades long. [[spoiler:Presumably either Aleida was exaggerating, or Cesar's lawyer came through for him in the end, as he's out of prison by Season 7]].
260	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Cesar sees women as tools instead of people; they're there to have sex with or use in your criminal enterprise.
261	* StayInTheKitchen: His justification for living with another woman while Aleida is in prison is not even ImAManICantHelpIt. It's because he has kids, so obviously he "can't" take care of them alone and "that's what women are made for."

264	[[folder:Yadriel]]
265	!!Yadriel
266	->'''Played By:''' Creator/IanPaola
267
268	Maria's boyfriend, who takes custody of their baby after she's born.
269	----
270	* FaceOfAThug: He's rather handsome, but tattoos and a perpetually stony expression on his face give that impression. The information that he's once stolen flowers from a funeral in an attempt to be romantic, doesn't help.
271	* HiddenDepths: Despite his stoicism and generally cool demeanor, he is unbelievably sweet with his daughter, especially when he finds out Maria is not being transferred.
272	* KickTheDog: He believes he has legitimate reasons, but he still commits the shockingly callous act of taking Maria's baby away from her, refusing anymore visits and essentially cutting the mother of his child out of her life.
273	* NotSoStoic: Yadriel largely just sits across from Maria in the visiting room with all the expressiveness of a tombstone that hasn't had a name etched into it yet. It turns out he just has 'resting bitch face'. When he finds out Maria won't be leaving, his stoical façade breaks in the most adorable way. He's overjoyed.
274	* TheQuietOne: He just does ''not'' talk, which makes it more powerful when he breaks out of that habit to talk to his daughter on Maria's request.
275	* SingleTargetSexuality: [[spoiler: Despite separating Maria from their daughter and unofficially dumping her, Yadriel is fully devoted to Maria.]]

282	Jean originally brought Miss Claudette to the US and set her up at the cleaning company. He later broke her heart by marrying another woman but briefly reconnected with Miss Claudette after his wife's death.
283	----
284	* KarmaHoudini: He essentially sold girls into slavery, but the narrative treats him as an unambiguous good guy.

293	----
294	* MealTicket: Aleida immediately sizes the wealthy Delia up as ripe for exploitation.
295	* MoralityPet: To Pornstache. Awful as he is, he absolutely adores his mother.
296	* NiceGirl: She wants nothing but to help Daya, her family and the baby and is not judgmental about the whole "birth mother and the other grandmother are in prison" situation, but rather ashamed of her son's alleged actions.

302
303	The groom of the wedding Morello is planning. Despite the fact that Lorna's life even in prison revolves about getting married to him, he never seems to visit her in there.
304	----
305	* ButtMonkey: Christopher's life took something of a downturn when he met Lorna; she became obsessed with him, stalked him, planted a bomb under his car, broke into his home and ruined his fiancée's wedding dress and had her new boyfriend Vince beat him to a pulp.
306	* TheGhost: In Season 1. The Lichfield inmates even doubt whether he exists and the fact that he never visits his supposed fiancé suggests he's essentially abandoned her. In Season 2, it's revealed that he does exist, but he's not Lorna's fiancé; he's some poor bastard she was stalking.
307	* {{Hunk}}: He resembles the model seen on a poster in Lorna's room. It's the reason she becomes so enamored with him so quickly.
308	* IllKillYou: Says that in no uncertain terms to Morello if she ever comes anywhere near him or his family.
309	* JerkassHasAPoint: As aggressive and borderline violent as he is towards her, his anger at Lorna for her behavior is entirely justified.

319	* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: [[spoiler: When Lorna announces that she is pregnant, Vinnie panics and runs away but when in the season 5 finale she is taken out of the prison, he jumps over police lines to reach her and excitedly announces that she's pregnant and that he will wait for her.]]

324	* JerkassHasAPoint: [[spoiler: Divorcing your mentally ill wife just after you've lost your child might seem cruel but Vinnie is absolutely right that Lorna is completely incapable of accepting what happened and he can't deal with her denial on top of grieving his son.]]
325	* LongDistanceRelationship: Due to Lorna being in federal prison.
326	* MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: Consummates his marriage to Lorna in the visitation room, while the guards look the other way. Later, they have phone sex pretty regularly, and [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments even have verbal sex during a visitation]].

Then she believes that he's been cheating on her with her sister, and screams at him the next time they do get to talk on the phone. At this point, Vinnie realizes that his wife is [[{{Yandere}} nucking futz]].
328	* NoAccountingForTaste: Is married to a woman who's ''seriously'' delusional and in prison for attempting to kill Christopher's ''real'' girlfriend.
329	* OutlivingOnesOffspring: [[spoiler: His newborn son with Lorna dies a few months after being born, devastating both of them. Even worse is that Lorna has a complete breakdown at the news and insists he is still alive, meaning Vinnie can't even turn to her for mutual support.]]

351	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: When Piper gets high and then tampers with her drug test, Wyndolyn is exasperated but chooses to look the other way rather than send Piper back to prison for a single lapse in judgment.
