Mary Helen Carr and her daughter Sherry Blackman and Mary Helen's lost love WB "Mac" MacDonald. Mac ran out upon meeting baby Sherry for the first time, but that was because he was afraid Mary Helen's mom was still going to have him arrested for statutory rape (she was a minor when they had a romance). You can tell he genuinely feels remorse for what happened. Mary Helen's mom tried to accept him in that segment, but he was still scared of being chased by the police. He should have been stronger, but there were mistakes made on both sides--he and her mom both acted foolishly.

Pam Poteete, the motel housekeeper who was suspicious of Tom Dixon (the taunting bank robber) and recognized him on UM. Sharp-eyed lady.

I always liked Jennifer Pratt; she seemed very bubbly and outgoing. I thought she just chose the wrong guy; absolute travesty what happened to her.

It happens all the time. It doesn't matter how old you are. Love is blind. And unlike a lot of people, I don't judge her mom for wanting "the old Jennifer" back. Of course you would! You'd want her healthy and having her whole life ahead of her and able to do anything she wanted. It doesn't mean she loves the post-accident Jennifer any less.

Laurie/Lori - the woman who was abducted and nearly killed by a man she met at a bar. She was very charismatic.

Huey and Joyce Littleton, Pam Ellender's parents. When Huey says that he couldn't cry because he was frozen, i felt that. I've experienced that myself with loss (no murders, thank God, but death from illnesses). There's more than one way to express grief, and we forget that as a society.

I really liked Gene Kiley. He not only seemed like a pretty chill guy (and very savvy) but took it as a point of pride to be able to find missing heirs without charging a finder's fee as opposed to private heir finders. Wonder if he's still alive?

The detective in the ATV murders segment. You could tell he was extremely upset by such a senseless crime and was determined to see it solved.

Duncan Gilmore, who fathered Patsy Summers' daughter. She was reunited with him in a Lost Loves update. Seemed like just a decent, nice guy, but not one the mother's parents would approve of, apparently. She had a fiancé, which reminds me a little of "The Notebook," except with a secret baby in the mix. Heck, I think Nicholas Sparks could have written that plot line if he wanted.

I agree, he's definitely one of the best dads from the show. it's a shame that Patsy never told the truth about it and that she kept them apart for all those years.

I liked Paul Cornwell, Lisa Bishop's boyfriend. I don't really know why in particular, he just seemed like an alright guy.

Same here. I felt bad for him. He had an instinct that Lisa going on the Freedon with this guy was a bad idea, and unfortunately, he was right.

The weird thing is that it could've been the opposite and the bad idea was for the guy and the crew of the Freedon that she went if they were going to postpone the trip and she was the reason they didn't.

same, wasn't he a fair amount older than Lisa? maybe he just looked older than he was. I liked that he went looking for her, that had to be tough. I got chills when I heard him say that he thought he was going to encounter Florian at any moment. those emotions were raw and I can only imagine what that felt like.

I said it before, but Fritz from the Fritz and the soldiers segment. that is my favorite segment and he is probably the most inspirational person that I can recall from the show. I went to the east of Belgium and did a battle of the bulge tour in the Ardennes because of that segment. I've always thought that it is the perfect UM segment. It has the element of darkness with suspense, but ends with a happy story of how the human spirit can overcome war. Hitler tried to prevent that very thing from happening after British and German soldiers played football during a WWI Christmas. but the human spirit of kindness is stronger than war.
