Laura:
- Fonseca has been cast as Laura, Scott’s sister. Laura has a 7-year-old son, Matthew. Just like the rest of the family, Laura is trying to cope with the recent loss of her father.
- Laura loves and owns special-needs dogs.
- After her father passed, he left to the family his big, slobbering dog Hooch whom Laura and Matthew give to Scott.
- Laura is close to her brother and mother — with whom she discovers that their father’s death might not have been an accident.
Jessica:
- Patterson plays Jessica, Scott’s U.S. marshal partner.
- She’s the opposite of him in many ways, and often teases him about his mannerisms and a polish appearance.
- Jessica is brave and quick-thinking on the job, though sometimes her sense of humor gets her in trouble.
- She has a lot of respect for Scott and doesn’t mind his big new sidekick.
- Jessica is happily married to Grady.
