TEDDI GALLO--Teddi is a divorced mother of three who runs her own decorating service...when she isn't investigating murders! Like Jessica Fletcher from Murder She Wrote, it's dangerous to be in Teddi's vicinity. If you aren't getting killed, you could be being arrested as a suspect!
RIO GALLO--Teddi's ex-husband, In WHO MAKES UP THESE RULES, ANYWAY? Rio tried to drive Teddi over the edge by making her think she'd done things she hadn't, or hadn't done things she did. He almost succeeded!
JUNE BAYER--Teddi's botoxed and restalyned mother. June is a piece of work, but she's had her share of misfortune so everyone cuts her some slack. Her sole purpose in life is to stop Teddi from making another disasterous mistake.
MARTY BAYER--Teddi's dad. He used to own Bayer Furniture in the Bronx (the home of headache free shopping and hassle free financing), but now he's retired and doesn't really know what to do with himself.
ANGELINA--Used to be June Bayer's housekeeper and all but raised Teddi and her brother. problem was, she was also raising Marty, and that was raising eyebrows!
DAVID BAYER--Teddis' older brother. June and Marty gave him a trip to the Bahamas as a graduation gift when he finished his MBA at Harvard. Took him twenty years to come back. . .
THE KIDS--DANA, JESSE and ALYSSA--Teddi and Rio's children.

MARKIE BAYER--Teddi's younger brother, who died tragically in their swimming pool. Teddi's mother has never really recovered from the loss.
DREW SCOONES--Drew is the hardworking Nassau County Police Detective who first meets Teddi in WHAT GOES WITH BLOOD RED, ANYWAY? when her first client is murdered. There's some question about what he's working so hard at--trailing criminals or trailing Teddi.
BOBBIE LYONS--Teddi's neighbor, partner and best friend. Bobbie was born knowing The Rules, and it's her mission in life to help Teddi learn them.
