I'll try to give a brief summary , while trying not to put in TOO many spoilers.....Characters: front left to right Lacey Burrows and Brent Leroy -in car, Brent's parents Oscar and Emma Leroy- behind car, Officers Davis Quinton and Karen Pelly , gas station employee Wanda Dollard and town idiot Hank Yarbo

Brent Leroy ( Brent Butt< yes, that's his real name ) is the owner of the only gas station (and grocery store) within 60 klms ( approx 40 miles ), he's probably the only really stable person in a town of eccentrics.....He's highly attracted to Lacey, the woman who owns the Diner attached to his gas station ( They share the washrooms and storerooms), but, due to his fear of commitment, he denies it.

Lacey Burrows (Gabrielle Miller) is the "new girl in town", as she moved to Dog River from the big city of Toronto. Strangely, despite being from the largest city in Canada, Lacey often seems to be the most innocent person in town. She's often too trusting and a terrible liar! (Lucy Ricardo she aint!) Spoiler>>She runs the diner that she inherited from her childless aunt and, while she would never admit it, is falling in love with Brent!

Oscar Leroy (Eric Peterson) is Brent's Father and former owner of the station...who sometimes forgets that he retired from the business. Oscar is one of those cranky old men who'll call the cops at the drop of a hat, so, don't walk in his grass!

Emma Leroy (Janet Wright) is Brent's Mother, and the REAL head of the family, everyone holds her in respectful awe

Officer Davis Quinton (Lorne Cardinal) is the town's veteran officer, he refuses to read training manuals and uses the Police budget to his own ends. Basically, he makes up the laws, as he goes along (Saves him the trouble of actually having to learn them), while he's a very sensitive man, he can also show petty jealousy towards his junior partner Karen, still calling her "rookie" after at least 4 years as his partner. Davis is divorced.

Officer Karen Pelly (Tara-Spencer-Nairn) is young and ambitious, and wishes she was anywhere besides Dog River, where she feels her career in law enforcement is probably hitting a dead end.

Wanda Dollard ( Nancy Robertson (Butt*) ) is Brent's assistant at the gas station, she runs the grocery store while he mans the pumps. Single Mom Wanda, is the smartest person in town, and yet works a rather menial job, in order to support her son Tanner ( Who is never actually shown, a la Vera )
* Nancy Robertson and Brent Butt were married during hiatus between season 2 and 3

Hank Yarbo (Fred Ewanuick) is the town idiot-savant ( and a first-class mooch ), at times, he seems to be a complete fool and yet, he shows amazing skills at such things as gardening and playing the stock market....making him rather hard to "pin down!"

And that is the main cast of Corner Gas

Is this a sitcom or a drama?

Mikado · 08-16-2007, 04:22 PM

Its a Canadian sitcom.....we've already gotten 4 seasons here, but its only starting now in the USA ( Sept 10 )

Mikado · 08-16-2007, 04:31 PM

But dont worry, this isnt another "King of Kensington" or "Checking Out" THIS one is actually FUNNY! ( Something many Canadian sitcoms werent, in the past )

Lacey is my favorite too...mind you, it probably has a lot to do with my huge crush on Gabby Miller!

Is it just me Mikey, or do Brent and Lacey resemble YOU AND ME?

Nope its not just you, I was thinking exactly the same thing..Brent looks like me, only about 6 inches taller ( and with straighter hair ) and , Lacey does indeed resemble you...not as busty, but yeah, i saw a resemblance right away. ( And was thinking that very thing just before you made that post! spoooooooky

)
