Now, alone with no family of her own except Andrew, and about to lose her house, Stephanie is at the end of her rope– until Kevin’s estranged mother KATHERINE shows up. Katherine explains that her greatest regret was that she never made peace with her son before he died. Now, she would like nothing more than to help Stephanie and the baby. But beneath her motherly exterior, Katherine hides dark motives. After losing her own son, she wants a second chance at motherhood. And she’ll stop at nothing to claim Andrew for her own.

ALLY O’NEAL (20s - 30s) (Female) - Stephanie’s best friend, Ally stepped in after Kevin’s death to support Stephanie in every way she could.

EVA SAINTE-JOHN (20s) (Female) - A nanny who loves her job, and is excellent at it, Eva seems like an answer to Stephanie’s prayers. But when she runs afoul of Katherine, who sees her as a threat, she’ll be taken out by any means necessary.
ERIC WAGNER (20s - 30s) (Male) - An officer in the local police department, Eric was an acquaintance of Kevin’s and had the difficult task of delivering the news of his death to Stephanie. When he shows up at the scene of a domestic disturbance between Stephanie and Katherine, he has to decide whether to follow the law or his gut, which tells him something is off about Katherine.
DR. KENTON (30s or older) (Male or Female) - Baby Andrew’s pediatrician, Dr. Kenton is duped by Katherine into believing the worst about Stephanie’s mothering, with dangerous consequences.
JAMES SPENCER (20s - 30s) (Male) - The perfect husband, handsome and charming, Kevin loves his wife and son more than anything. After overcoming his own difficult childhood, it is his life’s mission to ensure that his son has a happy and stable home. But fate may have other plans.
SHEILA GRANT (30s or older) (Female) - An ambitious and successful realtor, when Sheila learns that Stephanie has fallen behind on her mortgage, she sees an opportunity for a killer listing. But her persistent nature proves to be more of an asset than a liability when she is confronted by Katherine.

CARTER PHILLIPS (30s or older) (Male or Female) - Stephanie and Ally’s boss, Carter is hard-working and driven. Respected by employees as tough, but fair. Carter enjoys Ally’s antics (up to a point), but also wants to ensure that the company doesn’t suffer from Ally’s often unorthodox approaches to terms like “punctuality” and “deadlines.”
NURSE GREENE (20s or older) (Male or Female) - A nurse at the psych ward, who may be in line to be Katherine’s next victim.
