The Return of Jericho on CBS Tonight

After a way-too-long hiatus, one of my favorite shows is returning to the airwaves. In case you have forgotten who's who in Jericho, I will give you a list of characters (at least as many as I can recall). Feel free to add or correct:

Anderson, Gray – owner of a mine outside of town, in which some of the towns people take refuge against fallout after the attacks; he successfully opposes Johnston Green’s campaign for re-election as mayor.

Bailey, Mary – bar owner; girlfriend of the married Eric Green.

Cafferty, Mitchell – former friend of Jake Green and Chris Sullivan; the trio were involved in a failed armed robbery several years ago, resulting in jail time for him while Chris lost his life and Jake left town; after his release, he went to work for Jonah Prowse; after murdering store owner Gracie Leigh, he framed Prowse for the crime; but stock boy Dale Turner discovered his guilt and murdered him in cold blood.

Cale, Shep – implicated in the death of a man named Scott who sought refuge in Gray Anderson’s mine during the fallout after the attacks; he later disappears on a reconnaissance mission.

Clark, Mimi – IRS agent from Washington, DC; auditing the farm of Stanley and Bonnie Richmond at the time of the attacks; ironically, they agree to let her live with them afterwards; she gives Sean Henthorn her gold watch to steal fertilizer from Gracie Leigh’s store, to be used on the Richmond farm; eventually a romance blooms between her and Stanley; she gives bar owner Mary Bailey advice about her rocky relationship with the married Eric Green.

Dhuwalia, Kenchy – doctor; discovered amongst the survivors of fallout at Rogue River and brought back to town; he spends an inordinate amount of time in Mary Bailey’s bar; treated wounds of Jonah Prowse while he was a fugitive implicated in the murder of Gracie Leigh.

Doug – former boyfriend of Darcy Hawkins; presumed killed in the attacks on Washington, DC.

Goetz – leader of the Ravenswood mercenaries; pursues the Green brothers from Rogue River after they retrieve medicine from the abandoned town along with Dr. Kenchy Dhuwalia; prevented from entering the town, but threatens to return.

Green, April – wife of Eric Green (married 15 June 2001); a doctor; had divorced papers drawn-up shortly before the attacks, but never actually filed them; discovered she was pregnant just before her husband left her for bar owner Mary Bailey, but did not tell him.

Green, Eric – younger son of Johnston and Gail Green; husband of April Green; served as his father’s Deputy Mayor; left wife to begin new relationship with bar owner Mary Bailey.

Green, Eric Jacob – deceased former mayor; father of Johnston Green; Jake Green returned to town after his death to claim an old car as inheritance and visited his tombstone.

Green, Gail – wife of Johnston Green; mother of Jake and Eric Green.

Green, Jake – elder son of Johnston and Gail Green; left town after a failed armed robbery ordered by Jonah Prowse, in which his friend Chris Sullivan was killed; another friend Mitchell Cafferty was arrested and imprisoned for the crime and resents Jake for his escape from punishment; returned to town after death of grandfather Eric Jacob Green; attacks left him stranded there before he could return home; his activities since he left town are a mystery; to the consternation of Heather Lisinski, he rekindles a relationship with former girlfriend Emily Sullivan until her missing fiancé turns-up amongst a group of survivors.

Green, Johnston – mayor; sidelined by illness soon after the attacks and nearly died; recovered in time to run for re-election, but lost to Gray Anderson.

Hawkins, Allison – daughter of Robert and Darcy Hawkins.

Hawkins, Darcy – wife of Robert Hawkins; mother of Allison and Samuel Hawkins; used to live in Washington, DC.

Hawkins, Robert – husband of Darcy Hawkins; father of Allison and Samuel Hawkins; a newcomer to town; he is apparently an undercover agent of some sort.

Hawkins, Samuel – son of Robert and Darcy Hawkins.

Henthorn, Sean – shady teenager who torments Dale Turner; he accepts Mimi Clark’s gold watch to steal fertilizer from Gracie Leigh’s store to be used on the Richmond family farm; he apparently has a romantic relationship with Bonnie Richmond.

Leigh, Gracie – store owner; she takes the townspeople’s valuables and heirlooms in exchange for merchandise after the attacks, and works with Jonah Prowse to replenish her supplies; murdered by Mitchell Cafferty after refusing to work with him instead of Prowse; her will leaves everything to her young employee Dale Turner.

Lisinski, Heather – elementary school teacher; she wrecks a busload of children in the wake of the attacks and is rescued by Jake Green; her attempts to form a romantic relationship with him are thwarted by his renewed relationship with former girlfriend Emily Sullivan.

Miller, Victor – a survivor of the attacks on Denver; he is caught trying to break into the local pharmacy; he apparently knows Robert Hawkins, but the exact relationship remains a mystery when he dies from radiation poisoning.

Prowse, Jonah – father of Emily and Chris Sullivan; exiled outlaw; framed by Mitchell Cafferty for the murder of Gracie Leigh.

Richmond, Bonnie – deaf teenage sister of Stanley Richmond; she claims to have been operating the family farm by herself the last five years, but that is probably an exaggeration; she appears to have a romantic interest in bad boy Sean Henthorn.

Richmond, Stanley – friend of Jake Green; elder brother of Bonnie Richmond; their parents died when he was 18, and the siblings have been operating the family farm by themselves; they were undergoing an IRS audit led by Mimi Clark at the time of the attacks, but allowed her to live with them afterwards and an ironic romance bloomed.
