Main cast

edit

Rebecca Bunch

edit
 
Rachel Bloom portrays the role of Rebecca.

Portrayed by Rachel Bloom, Rebecca Nora Bunch is a lawyer originally from Scarsdale, New York, who has obsessive tendencies and traits of anxiety and depression. She often acts on impulsive decisions, such as moving to West Covina to be with Josh, her childhood boyfriend, after having a five-minute conversation with him. When stressed, Rebecca often hallucinates, such as seeing her younger self (portrayed by Ava Acres). As she is prone to impulsive decisions, she spends over $10,000 on Josh in her attempts to win him back. After being dumped by both Josh and Greg, she ends up burning her house down in a fit of anxiety-fuelled rage. Rebecca has a fear of rejection and does not react well under pressure, which leads her to spiral after bad things happen, demonstrated in seasons one and three. After she is left at the altar in the season two finale, she realizes that she has a problem, which she tries to fix but ultimately moves her obsession onto Nathaniel, which leads to her pushing her ex-boyfriend, Trent (Paul Welsh) off the roof of a building. She is diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder in season three, after a suicide attempt.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9] She is also bisexual.

Josh Chan

edit
 
Vincent Rodriguez III

Portrayed by Vincent Rodriguez III, Joshua "Josh" Felix Chan is Rebecca's dim-witted childhood boyfriend, who centers as the object of Rebecca's affection throughout seasons one and two. During season one, he relocates himself from New York back to West Covina to be with his ex-girlfriend, Valencia Perez, and is often seen with his friends: Greg, Hector and "White Josh". He is usually optimistic and friendly, with a positive outlook on life. He and Greg have a falling out during season 1 due to their feelings for Rebecca, but work things out in season 2 before Greg moves to Atlanta to attend Emory University. Josh is of Filipino descent and demonstrates commitment issues in his relationships, shown as he refuses to propose to Valencia and leaves Rebecca at the altar (after Rebecca's obsessive admirare, Trent Maddock reveals him her history with mental health issues to break them up) to become a priest. He lacks awareness and has a tendency to be self-centered. He is a black-belt martial artist and worked for a Hawaiian-themed electronics retailer.

Greg Serrano

edit

Portrayed by Santino Fontana (seasons 1–2) and Skylar Astin (season 4),[10] Greg Serrano is Josh's best friend who works as a bartender. Unlike Josh, Greg is intelligent, pessimistic and cynical, with a longing to move away from West Covina. From the moment he meets Rebecca, they begin an on-and-off relationship, due to him having complicated feelings for her. He also has a relationship with Heather, Rebecca's neighbor, during season one, until Heather breaks it off. Greg suffers with alcohol addiction and, between seasons one and two, is arrested for driving drunk, which forces him to attend AA meetings and hide from his friends. Like Rebecca, Greg was raised mainly by a single parent, and he has a strong bond with his father, who suffers from emphysema. Greg has a strained relationship with his mother, who moved away, remarried and started another family. However, they begin repairing their relationship during season one. Greg and Josh have a falling out during season one due to their feelings for Rebecca, but patch up their differences in season two before Greg departs for graduate school. At the start of season two, his father helps him to achieve his full potential, leading Greg to leave West Covina to attend business school at Emory University. He struggles with the decision, however, due to his complicated feelings with Rebecca.[11][12]

Paula Proctor

edit

Paula Proctor (née O'Brien, portrayed by Donna Lynne Champlin) is Rebecca's co-worker and best friend. Originally from Buffalo, New York, she lives in West Covina with her husband, Scott, and children Brendan and Tommy. Paula forms an alliance with Rebecca over Josh but regularly goes over-the-top with her schemes, as a way to distract herself from her failing marriage. During helping Rebecca with a scheme, Paula and her husband rekindle their romance. After Rebecca begins sleeping with Greg, Paula realizes she has gone overboard and decides to get a degree in law. In her law class, she meets Sunil and begins to shut Rebecca out, including not telling her when she has an abortion. Towards the end of season three, Paula finds out about Rebecca's lies, and their relationship becomes strained once again. Champlin has received significant praise for her portrayal of Paula, especially with her abortion storyline.[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]

Darryl Whitefeather

edit

Portrayed by Pete Gardner, Darryl is Rebecca's co-worker, who sometimes struggles with keeping his emotions in check. Initially, Darryl is shown as a recent divorcée trying to get custody of his daughter, however he was ultimately considered the breakout star of season one due to his storyline with his sexuality, as he figures out he is bisexual. Later, he begins a relationship with Josh Wilson, the most stable relationship of the series, though they ultimately break up due to Darryl's need to have a child. Darryl projects his feelings of loneliness onto Paula, who he persistently calls his 'best friend', even though she disregards his feelings. He is prone to feelings of loneliness and has a psychological need to be liked by others. His break-up with Josh leads him to have a child, with Rebecca's egg, which Heather carries as surrogate. During the season three finale, their baby is born, and him and Josh reconcile. He names the baby "Hebecca Whitefeather".[22][23][24][25][26][27][28]

Heather Davis

edit

Portrayed by Vella Lovell, Heather is Rebecca's neighbor when she first moves to West Covina. Originally, she speaks to Rebecca as a means of getting a good grade in her 'abnormal psych' class. She begins a relationship with Greg, but ultimately breaks it off after seeing that he still has feelings for Rebecca. Her parents are displayed as being extremely supportive, which leads to her developing an aimless and apathetic personality, opposing Rebecca's parents. During season two, she becomes the face of the feminine care product "Miss Douche" and moves into an apartment with Rebecca. Heather repeatedly tries to get out of trouble by stating that she is a student, which changes in season three when she is forced to graduate against her will. She later becomes a regional manager for Home Base. As her life continues to go to higher levels, she begins a relationship with Hector (Erick Lopez) and becomes the surrogate for Darryl's baby.[9][29][30][31][32]

Portrayed by Gabrielle Ruiz, Valencia (born Maria Perez) is Josh's teenage sweetheart, whom Josh moves back to West Covina to be with.

Originally, Valencia is seen as a scary woman who doesn't eat properly, however after breaking up with Josh, she begins to eat healthier and add fat into her diet. When Rebecca and Heather bump into her, Rebecca grows obsessed with bonding with her and kidnaps her as a result; ultimately, the three form a girl group. Valencia also plans Rebecca and Josh's wedding, and after Rebecca is left at the wedding, Valencia helps with a revenge plot. After Rebecca's attempted suicide, Valencia breaks down, claiming she needs her and that she is extremely special to her. Valencia is in a relationship with Beth (Emma Willmann), making her the third bisexual character on the series.[33][34][35][36][37][38]

He is openly gay and, attracted to older men, entered into a relationship with Darryl after he came out as bisexual; ultimately they break up over their disagreements on having a child, however they reconcile after the baby is born. After their breakup, he befriends Nathaniel and the two enter into an extreme workout regime.[8][39][40] He has never understood his friends' obsession with Rebecca, the two who never mesh themselves as friends except in social situations with their mutual friends.
