Основываясь на эпизоде ​​«Хэллоуин» (сезон 1), кажется, что Эрик родился в 1954 году (в то время ему было 42 года). Согласно эпизоду «Сотня» (5 сезон), его день рождения - в январе. Эрик проучился в колледже пять лет и окончил семинарию Кобелл. Вскоре после этого он женился и создал семью с Энни Джексон. У него есть сестра, Джули Камден-Гастингс, которая в итоге выходит замуж за доктора, который родил Эрика и Энни старших (Мэтт), а также младших (Сэм и Дэвид) детей. После операции по шунтированию сердца он решает оставить служение и даже перестать посещать церковь. Он обновляет свою веру и возвращается в церковь вовремя, чтобы жениться на Кевине и Люси (ближе к концу 7 сезона). У него было три проблемы с сердцем из 4 сезона,7 и 11 и выжили.

Энни Камден [ править ]

Ее мать - Дженни Джексон. Во время учебы в колледже Энни изучала все, от искусства до бизнеса и экономики, а в более поздние сезоны вернулась в школу, чтобы получить степень в области дошкольного образования.

Хотя она предпочла быть домохозяйкой, Энни - мастер на все руки. Она уравновешивает семью из девяти человек на зарплату министра, работает водопроводчиком, строителем, швеей, поваром и многим другим. Время от времени она также выполняет обязанности казначея церкви.

Энни - основа ее семьи. Мать семерых детей, она часто та, с кем дети приходят поговорить, часто за молоком и печеньем. Вместе с мужем она пытается привить детям крепкую мораль. Отмечается, что она надеется, что Рути не пойдет по стопам ее или двух других дочерей и выйдет замуж слишком рано. Она надеется, что Рути сначала найдет время, чтобы отправиться в путешествие.

Энни - единственная дочь своих родителей. Ее мать, Дженни, умирает в начале первого сезона от рака, и эта смерть сильно поразила Энни. Еще сложнее ее отец быстро отказался от отношений с Джинджер. В одном из эпизодов Энни покидает церковь после того, как ее отец приводит Джинджер на службу. Мэри преследует ее и сбивает машину. Энни медленно принимает Джинджер, и Джинджер и ее отец поженились. Ее отец страдает болезнью Альцгеймера, и перед смертью Энни проводит с ним все больше и больше времени в Аризоне. В более поздних сезонах цитируют Энни, которая сказала, что ей намного больше нравится Джинджер, теперь, когда ее родители снова вместе. В начале сезона Энни узнала о внебрачной дочери, которую ее отец имел от своей школьной подруги. В конце концов она встречает эту сводную сестру, Лили, и со временем у них складываются отношения.

В 2009 году она была включена в Yahoo! «10 лучших телевизионных мам за шесть десятилетий телевидения за десятилетие 1996–2007 гг.». ^[3]

Мэтт жертвует школьным временем, чтобы помогать другим; если бы они пожелали остаться анонимными, он бы уважал это и даже не сказал бы своему отцу. Во время учебы в средней школе он скачет с работы на работу, включая репетитора и водителя-доставщика Dairy Shack. Он не всегда является звездным студентом, но ему удается закончить учебу с лучшими в своем классе и принять на стажировку в Белом доме в Вашингтоне, округ Колумбия, с первой леди Хиллари Клинтон.. Он возвращается в Гленоук для учебы в колледже, проживая в одной комнате с другом и товарищем по «PK» Джоном Гамильтоном. Новый дядя Мэтта, доктор Хэнк Гастингс (который на самом деле доставил его), помогает ему устроиться на работу в столовую больницы; во время пребывания там он решает стать врачом. Его дядя Хэнк был главным вдохновителем, почему он хотел стать врачом. Он заканчивает тем, что работает с Хэнком в женской клинике, сначала помогая спасти жизнь женщине, которая не могла заставить никого, кроме Мэтта, серьезно отнестись к своим симптомам внематочной беременности .

Он знакомится с Сарой Гласс (которую играет Сара Даниэль Мэдисон ), однокурсницей-медиком, как раз тогда, когда он действительно хотел встретить того, кто станет любовью всей его жизни. Их первое свидание заканчивается свадьбой. Потому что Сара - дочь раввина (играет Ричард Льюис), который хочет, чтобы его дочь вышла замуж за еврея, они изначально держат свой брак в секрете. В конце концов, у них была большая семейная свадьба, на которой совместно председательствовали их гордые отцы, которые почти отменили свадебную вражду из-за Мэтта, который планирует перейти в иудаизм. Мэтт и Сара переезжают в Нью-Йорк, чтобы поступить в медицинскую школу, и, хотя были проблемы, они остались счастливы вместе. Ближе к концу сериала они заканчивают медицинскую школу и объявляют, что ждут мальчиков-близнецов, которые родятся следующим летом. Их два мальчика родились в 2006 году. На протяжении всего сериала также показано, что он знает американский язык жестов , что является результатом его отношений с Хизер, что сделало его двуязычным.

Саймон Кэмден [ править ]

Саймон Кэмден (играет Дэвид Галлахер ) - четвертый ребенок и второй сын. В начале сериала он известен своим братьям и сестрам как «Банк Саймона», потому что у него всегда есть деньги, и он любит зарабатывать деньги. Его другие интересы включали гольф, магию и автомобили. Он родился в 1987 году и в первый год начал учебу, когда ему было 10 лет.

Во время пилотного эпизода Саймон страстно желает собаку. Когда его просят произнести благодать перед ужином, он даже включает просьбу о собаке в свою молитву. Хотя его родители не считают, что он достаточно зрел, чтобы взять на себя ответственность за домашнее животное, Энни идет на фунт «просто посмотреть» и влюбляется в собаку, которую должны были усыпить . Эта собака стала любимым «Хэппи» Камденсом.

Он встречает девочку по имени Дина в шестом классе и узнает, что Эрик консультировал ее семью много лет назад, когда ей поставили диагноз лейкемия . Они ходят на свидания в большей части средней школы, но расстаются в последний день восьмого класса, хотя остаются друзьями.

Средняя школа - тяжелый переходный период для Саймона, несмотря на помощь его веселой, популярной старшей сестры Люси. Он встречается с девушкой по имени Сесилия Смит ( Эшли Симпсон ), и они даже рассматривают возможность продолжения своих отношений в сексуальном плане, но отказываются от этого. Летом перед старшим классом Саймон случайно ударил и убил мальчика по имени Пол Смит, который был ровесником Рути. Поскольку Пол ехал на велосипеде без шлема, а позже выяснилось, что он находился под воздействием наркотиков, смерть признана несчастной, и Саймон не привлекался к уголовной ответственности. Тем не менее, Саймон не может перестать винить себя в аварии, а также опасается возмездия со стороны старшего брата Пола. Старший брат Пола также, вероятно, был виновен в нанесении распылением надписи «Не убий» на вывеске церкви преподобного Камдена.Он проходит ЧСПЭи рано бросает школу, чтобы поступить в колледж. Во время учебы в колледже, отчасти для того, чтобы справиться со своим чувством вины и низкой самооценкой, он нарушает семейный указ о воздержании от добрачного секса.

На протяжении шоу у Саймона есть три серьезные подруги: Дина, Сесилия и Роуз. Позже Саймон связывается с девушкой, которую он знал по колледжу, по имени Сэнди, у которой есть сын по имени Аарон, отцом которого стал Мартин Брюэр. Саймон оказывает эмоциональную и, возможно, даже физическую поддержку Сэнди и ее сыну.

После паники, связанной с беременностью его подруги Джорджии (позже выясняется, что она сделала заявление только о том, чтобы Саймон остался с ней), он встречает Роуз. Роза и Саймон влюбляются друг в друга, обручаются и планируют свадьбу. Они наконец доживают до дня свадьбы, но решают не жениться, потому что ни один из них не готов к браку, а у Роуз все еще есть чувства к бывшему парню. Ближе к концу сериала Сэнди и ее сын Аарон появляются на вечеринке после того, как не свадьба, и Сэнди говорит, что ей нужно поговорить с ним. Однако не раскрывается, что Сэнди хотела сказать Саймону, но предполагается, что это касается отцовства Аарона; намекнули, что Саймон на самом деле был отцом Аарона. В 11 сезоне было подтверждено, что он не отец. В конце концов Саймон женится на ком-то другом или обручится (как намекнула Рути в 11 сезоне),но неизвестно кто, хотя выясняется, что он заканчивает училище.

Когда ее бывший парень и первая любовь Питер возвращается в это время, она понимает, что ушла от него.После игнорирования Сэнди на протяжении большей части ее беременности, Мартин присутствует при рождении Аарона, как и оба будущих дедушки Аарона.

После ее окончанияРути с Ти-Боуном присоединяются ко всей семье и другим нынешним гостям дома Кэмдена в поездке на автофургоне, которая включает остановку на выпускном у Саймона колледже, а после этого Рути и Ти-Боун планируют вместе путешествовать по миру.

She tells Annie goodbye and disappears in her room. Her post-funeral and memorial occurred in No Funerals and a Wedding. While Annie is asleep before she gives birth to the twins, Jenny appears to her in a dream, encouraging and reassuring her (in season three, episode 14 "In Praise of Women").

He quickly takes off after Jenny's funeral, in "No Funerals and a Wedding," because he does not want to fall apart. He ends up turning back from the airport and sits at the cemetery for a few hours before finally returning to the Camdens' house to apologize to Annie. He later appears in "Dangerous Liaisons, Part 1" where he introduces his new girlfriend, Ginger, to the Camdens. This angers Annie, but the problem is solved (in "Dangerous Liaisons, Part 2").

The Hastings[edit]

Julie Camden-Hastings (Deborah Raffin) is the younger sister of Eric. She flies in from New York to be with the Camdens for Thanksgiving. While she is there, she tries to hide the fact that she is an alcoholic. When Simon is playing "Batman", he takes the key to the liquor cabinet, pretending it is the key to Gotham City. Julie tries to get the key back, but when he would not give it to her, she attacks him. Annie runs in and throws her out of the house. Instead of sending her to a hospital, Eric locks her in his bedroom while she starts to go through detoxification. She eventually checks herself into a rehab center. After living in the center for a few months, she goes back to New York to live with her parents, the Colonel and Ruth. She returns to Glenoak two years later to get a fresh start. Back in New York, everyone knows that she used to be an alcoholic and she is fired as a principal because of her drinking.

While in Glenoak, she gets a job as a teacher and falls in love with Hank Hastings, the doctor who almost killed Matt during delivery. The two elope in Eric’s church. Julie becomes pregnant and wants to leave Hank because she feels that he was cheating on her with one of his female patients, which is not true. Julie goes into labor at the Camdens’ house and Hank delivers the child in Eric and Annie’s bedroom. She gives birth to a girl, whom she and Hank name Erica, after Eric and Annie. When Julie and Hank need a babysitter, they take the risk of allowing Mary, who had been quite irresponsible, to babysit. Later, when they cannot get a hold of Mary, they rush back and discover that their place is a mess, the phone is off the hook, a liquor bottle is on the table, and Mary's friends' baby, Mercy, was left with Mary while she was supposed to be babysitting Erica. Julie later wants to leave Hank again when she discovers that he had left his job at the hospital to be the head of a Women’s Clinic without discussing it with her first. Eric locks them in a room at the clinic and tells them that they could not come out until they had worked out their problems. They reconcile and Hank learns that Julie is pregnant again. She gives birth to a baby boy. Both she and Hank attend Lucy’s wedding.

Dr. Hank Hastings (Ed Begley Jr.) is Julie's husband. He was Annie's doctor when she was pregnant with Matt, which resulted in his premature delivery. Both Annie and Eric are upset that he never apologized for his actions, but he then explains that what happened with them made him go back to medical school in order to be a better doctor. Hank is the main reason why Matt wanted to be a doctor. He unexpectedly delivers Sam and David, and the family is shown to have forgiven him. He starts dating Eric's younger sister Julie, and they get married after discovering that she's pregnant.

Erica Hastings is Julie's daughter. She is born at the Camdens’ home, in Eric and Annie's bed, which was given to her parents because of that. Feeling that they want to thank Eric and Annie they name her after them: "Eric", and the "A" after Annie.

The Camdens (Eric, Julie, and George's Parents)[edit]

John "The Colonel" Camden (Peter Graves) is Eric, Julie, and George's father, who used to be in the Marines. Whenever he visits his son's home to visit the grandchildren, he expects military discipline, order and organization, even from his son. He was a Colonel in the Korean War and was evacuated for an unknown reason in 1953. The Colonel and Ruth had Eric out of wedlock before they were married. He met Ruth the same year and they were expecting Eric and had to get married. He first appears in "Seven Is Enough", when he and Ruth go on their annual visit to the Camdens, where they always bring candy that their grandkids dislike. During their visit, they go to a hardware store with Annie, Mary, and Lucy. The cashier, Emma, has rings that are a replica of Annie's stolen ones. She suspects this, but then excuses this thought. The Colonel visits Eric at the church and is forced to put a cigar away because of a church rule. He suspects someone is in the room, and sure enough, a homeless orphan named George was hiding there. The Colonel and Ruth adopt him after Eric lets them. He later appears in "It's About George", where George's biological father Will Grayson is found to be alive and wants his son back. He does not want this to happen, so he is willing to sue. Eric informs his father that he would lose and that Will legally has every right to take George with him, but George refuses to move in with Will and runs away. Eric later creates a compromise and he reluctantly accepts. He also meets Jimmy Moon in this episode, where he and Ruth scare him, but later apologize. He thought that Julie hated him and that he lost all of his children. Julie later confronts him and tells him that she loves him. He and Ruth buy Eric an RV the final episode, though he is not shown.

Apart from his annual visits he also makes occasional surprise visits. In "Lead, Follow or Get Out of The Way", he arrives to help Eric with his major news coverage of his service and in the process helps Mary who is contemplating quitting basketball, Simon, who is training to be a magician (despite the Colonel's dislike for it), and Lucy who is slacking in school, and starts to connect with her.

She gives Lucy the first letter that The Colonel gave to her and both Mary and Lucy read it. She and The Colonel later adopt George at the end of the episode. In "It's About George" she hears that George's biological father Will is alive and plans to legally take his son back. She gets upset and blames Julie for this, but then apologizes. She also meets Jimmy Moon in this episode, where she and The Colonel scare him, but later apologize.

George Grayson Camden (Sam Saletta) is a homeless orphan who went from one foster home to the next until he is found in Eric's office. George informs them that his parents are dead. At first, Eric and Annie want to adopt him, but The Colonel and Ruth become his adopted parents, thereby becoming Eric and Julie's brother. In "It's About George" he meets his real father Will Grayson. It turns out that Will faked his death and plans to legally take George with him. Ruth and The Colonel refuse to give George up and plan to take legal action to keep their son. Eric explains to them that the judge would grant custody of George to his biological father and because Will never signed the adoption papers he has every right to take George. He gets upset about being legally forced to live with Will. George refuses to leave his adopted family behind. He runs away and declares that would rather live at the orphanage. His dad later moves in with him, at The Colonel and Ruth's in Buffalo, New York. In "Tit for Tat", it is revealed that he followed in The Colonel's footsteps and joined the army, serving in Iraq. It was also revealed that he married Jane, who had stayed at the Camden's.

Peter Petrowski (2002–2006) (Scotty Leavenworth) is a neighbor to the Camdens; the son of Vic and Paris. Peter is Ruthie's boyfriend in middle school. His father, Vic, was an alcoholic who left his mother when he was young. In the episode "Smoking" it is revealed that Peter smokes. He decides to stop smoking later in the episode because he knows Ruthie doesn't like that he smokes. His father returns sober in the episode "The Prodigal Father" and both Peter and his mother forgive him. When Peter is caught drinking, Vic is very upset with him and gives him a lecture on how he doesn't want Peter to make the same mistakes that he himself made.

Cecilia Smith[edit]

Cecilia Smith (2002–2004) (Ashlee Simpson) is Simon's girlfriend, who then dates Martin. She later dumps Martin, who loved her but she was not sure she felt the same. Another reason (which is not very clearly shown) might be that she thought Simon was returning—whereas he only came for vacations—and they might get back together (because it would no longer be a long-distance relationship). When Simon comes home (at the end of season eight), it was vaguely revealed that their relationship did not work out, because over the summer Cecilia went away to college, and it was only when Simon begins dating and having sex with Georgia (in season nine) that it is revealed that they had broken up.

Cecilia becomes very close to the Camdens while dating Simon, and even when he leaves to go to college she still spends a lot of time with his family, babysitting the twins, helping out around the house and often being there for meals, this escalates when Annie is away looking after her sick father, she is there so often that Annie becomes jealous of her role in the family, with the twins loving her and saying she is "more fun than Mommy". Annie and Cecilia discuss this and Annie resolves her jealousy when she realizes Cecilia is just trying to help, and she continues to be part of the 'extended Camden family' until she leaves for college.

Martin Brewer[edit]

Martin Brewer (2003–2007) (Tyler Hoechlin) is the only son of the Marine, Beau Brewer. His mother died when he was young and, until he was 16, he lived with his Aunt Betsy, when his dad was deployed. During his sophomore year in high school, the Brewers moved to Glenoak.

Martin walks into the Camdens' life by chance and joins the already-growing over-glut of teen boys there. He follows Ruthie and her then-boyfriend Peter to the Camden house and everyone assumes that he is a friend of Simon's, except Simon thinks that he is there to see his dad. While Martin's aunt, an aspiring fashion designer, wants the two of them to move to New York, Eric manages to convince her to let Martin stay with them so as not to uproot him again.

Martin's favorite sport is baseball and has been scouted by both colleges and professional baseball teams. One team even offers him a contract during his sophomore year in high school (which he eventually turns down to complete his education). Martin lives with the Camdens for two years before his father's tour in Iraq finally ends and he returns home.

He also has fixed, rigid beliefs about sexuality and is staunchly conservative, which pleases most of the Camdens, except Simon. When Martin snoops into Simon's private affairs, Martin harps at Simon about the evils of non-marital sex when he finds out that Simon is sexually active.

Prior to his senior year in high school, while visiting Simon, Martin is not practicing what he preached about pre-marital sex, and has sex one time with a girl named Sandy Jameson. The event results in Sandy getting pregnant.

Martin graduates a semester early and, with the assistance of Eric and his high school baseball coach, starts college. He now lives near Sandy and their son. While Martin is not in the season ten finale, Sandy makes an appearance after the failed wedding of Simon and Rose. It ends with Sandy telling Simon she needs to speak with him (Much speculation surrounded this, that it was in fact Simon's baby). Ruthie falls in love with Martin in the meantime. Finally, near the end of the series, Martin declares his love for Ruthie, but then Ruthie had to choose between Martin and T-Bone. At the end, despite all they have been through, she decides to go with T-Bone, leaving Martin heartbroken.

Chief of Police Michaels[edit]

Chief of Police Michaels (Christopher Michael) first appears in "Saturday" as a Sergeant who assists lost Simon, Ruthie, and Happy; he takes them home, but when they find the house empty, he escorts them to Mary's basketball game, where most of the family converge despite Mary's initial wish. He returns in "See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil" to investigate the Camdens' carjacking. In "Happy's Valentine", Eric and Morgan call him from a camping trip to check on the kids at the house. He catches his son with beer and sends him home thereby ending the wild party. He then notifies Matt that Happy was hit by a car, and he takes her to Abbott Animal Hospital. He also informs Eric when Simon got in the car accident. He is Kevin's boss when he is a police officer. He is later promoted to detective, then to captain. In "Faith, Hope and the Bottom Line," he and Officer McGuire rush over to the Camdens' after Ruthie calls "911", because Simon was hiding in his room. Near the series' end he is promoted to Police Chief of Glenoak. He and Eric are friends and occasionally work together; he refers people to Eric for counseling, Eric accompanies him on death notifications, etc.

Meredith Davies[edit]

Meredith Davies (2004–2005) (Megan Henning) is Martin's ex-girlfriend, who ends their relationship after he told her about Sandy and the baby. Meredith and her siblings were taken in by Cecilia's parents, but were never legally adopted by them due to the meddling of their birth mother. After she and Martin breakup, Meredith's younger sister tells everyone at school that Martin got Ruthie pregnant. After discovering this, Meredith quickly denies the rumor, explaining to her sister that Martin got Sandy pregnant.

Sandy Jameson[edit]

Sandy Jameson (2005–2007) (Haylie Duff) was introduced in the season 10 premiere as Simon's fiancée Rose's best friend, to whom Martin lost his virginity the previous summer. In the season opener, Sandy reveals she might be pregnant. This is later confirmed, and she gives birth to a baby boy named Aaron (after Martin's grandfather). In the season 10 finale, she had to speak with Simon, possibly about the baby's paternity. In season 11, she meets Jonathan, a doctor, and he proposes. Together, they decide to get married, but having gone on the RV vacation, it is unknown whether or not they get married and stay together.

Rose Taylor[edit]

Rosanna "Rose" Taylor (2005–2006) (Sarah Thompson) was introduced (in the season nine finale "Mi Familia Part 1") as Simon's current girlfriend for season 9-10. The two are not necessarily serious but she seems eager to engage and marry, pressuring Simon into proposing. When at first he refuses, she takes it as disinterest in her and backs away, provoking him to commit to marrying her. By season ten they are engaged, and she makes wedding plans. The initial plan was for the two to engage at the end of their current school year and wed at the end of the following year, but she pressures him into moving the engagement date forward. During Rose's time on the show, she becomes a very disliked person by all except for Sandy Jameson, who was her one friend there. Rose is known for being selfish, rude, inconsiderate, and thoughtless, rubbing Eric and Annie the wrong way more than anyone.

By 2006, Simon and Rose change plans to marry in May, something they both wanted to be ready for, but still held insecurities and doubts. Annie, however, decides that they could not marry, and when an ex-boyfriend of Rose's surfaces in March, she sees an opportunity. Though most had come to accept Simon dating Rose, no one knew her at all, and it was this boyfriend who convinces Rose that she is not being a good person. In the episode Invitation to Disaster, she has a sit-down confession with Annie, explaining that she has been unaware of how she was acting and that her relationship with her parents and never really being disciplined or close to them at all is part of the reason. This provokes Annie to see her in a different light, and while she and Annie take on a mother/daughter relationship, no one else is crazy about them marrying. It is her ex-boyfriend Humberto who makes her realize that she is not ready to marry and that he still has feelings for her. So although they had gotten to the wedding day, they end up parting ways amicably. It is unknown whether they still keep in touch.
