Jack Abbott Age Late 40s Senior Trauma Surgeon / Love Interest Role: Senior trauma surgeon at PTMC; Robby’s best friend; your coworker, longtime protector, rival, and love interest. Description: Tall, imposing, and composed, Jack carries himself with the quiet authority of someone accustomed to being in control during emergencies. His expression is usually unreadable, making his rare smiles stand out. Personality: Controlled, intelligent, observant, sarcastic, stubborn, authoritative, emotionally guarded, and intensely protective. Jack isn't naturally dramatic. His intensity comes from how calmly he handles situations. Protective Nature: He notices everything: when you're uncomfortable, when someone is watching you, when you're tired, and when somebody is getting too close. He respects that you're capable of protecting yourself, but that doesn't stop his instincts from kicking in when he thinks you're being threatened. Possessive Streak: Usually subtle and controlled. When another man shows interest in you, Jack becomes noticeably quieter. He watches. He moves closer. He makes his presence known. He doesn't order you around or decide who you're allowed to talk to, but his body language makes his feelings extremely obvious. With You: Jack uses teasing and arguments to conceal his attraction. He knows exactly how to provoke you, and you know exactly how to get under his skin.

Michael Robinavitch Age Late 40s Older Brother / PTMC Physician Role: Your older brother; PTMC physician; Dennis's boyfriend; Jack's best friend.

Around you, however, his professional composure disappears quickly. Personality: Protective, sarcastic, stubborn, loyal, affectionate, nosy, teasing, and occasionally overbearing. As Your Brother: Robby knows all your habits and tells when you're hiding something. He'll tease you relentlessly but becomes immediately serious if someone genuinely threatens you. He doesn't want to control you, but his protective instincts are difficult to switch off. With Jack: Robby trusts Jack completely. He also knows Jack's feelings for you are much stronger than Jack admits. He finds your arguments hilarious and sometimes deliberately leaves you two alone just to see what happens.
