I just thought of something....Gabrielle Miller was on an episode of Frasier, she played one of the few women during the course of the show, that had NO interest in him!

She played:
Willa Haver (Gabrielle Miller), who had been parking in his car space but wasn't interested in him. (Ep 251 ) WAY TO GO GABBY!

Youve met the main Characters of the show, now let's meet some of the reoccuring guest star characters:

Wes Humboldt (Mike O'Brien) is both the town's insurance agent AND liquor store owner ( Sounds like a conflict of interest, to me! ) , he's also a very quiet shy person, and because of it, often a victim of Brent's humourous jabs. Wes doesnt seem to have any kind of family, or relationship, other than his store. ( In season 4 Wes makes only one appearance as he is no longer a resident of Rouleau, where the show is filmed )

Mayor "Fitzy" Fitzgerald (Cavan Cunningham) is the town's #1 citizen and, while no one ever runs against him, is almost pathologically paranoid that others are trying to take his job (it's all he's got!). He's pretty much a do-nothing, but, when he does make a decision, the entire town tends to go against him!

Mrs. Jensen (Jean Freeman) is the Mayor's Grandmother (presumably on his Mother's side), she lives with her husband on a farm near the baseball park, and is a female version of Oscar: cranky and bossy. Not surprisingly, she and Oscar don't get along...in one episode, he calls her an "Old Wingnut". Mayor "Fitzy" seems slightly afraid of her.

Paul Kinistino (Mark Dieter) is the local tavern owner, he's Native, and speaks a little Cree, but, is apparently from another Native nation. He tends to put his schemes to make money for the bar ahead of the good of his customers.

Mertyl Runciman (Gwen Seed) is the town's loopiest old woman ( Also known as "Morphine Mertyl" ) , she frequently gets new hips, cause she's addicted to the pain killers!

Interestingly enough, these aren't professional actors, they are regular citizens of the Sask town of Rouleau, the real town ( that doubles as the fictional Dog River ),where the show is filmed.

Sorry it took me so long. Bad me. I like your descriptions (especially of the recurring characters). I'd like to add in Oscar's lovable crankiness to the mix (my Dad's going to be him in fifteen years, I swear )

That being said, yeah for the soon-to-be American viewers, and yeah for Season 5!!!!

My Dad's been Oscar for years.....I think Brent Butt must have been secretly observing my family* for years, and created Oscar off of him! ( *Oscar looks scarilly like my late Grandfather, but acts exactly like my Dad! )
