EADA Benjamin ‘Ben’ Stone Law & Order (Season 2, Episode 16)

[connie-rubirosa]

In regards to Mike and Connie's titles, Mike is definitely EADA in L&O. He becomes Bureau Chief for SVU in SVU before Ben dies and Peter comes back. Although when Peter takes on the job at SVU, I'm not sure that he's an EADA is he. Maybe he's just an ADA, I'm not sure. I know when he was in Chicago he was an ASA. But yeah, that picture, I definitely agree about that being an error. Someone mucked up.

okay yeah i'm glad someone else agrees that his official title is EADA in l&o!!! so weird that the set dressers keep confusing that with "chief ADA" because they're two very different positions. (and as @valenshawke said, the only other time the lead prosecutor on the show is referred to as a chief ADA is in season 1 where there's a lot of continuity errors while they were still figuring out what the continuity was even supposed to be lol).

and yeah, i remember his brief stint as bureau chief in SVU (in my opinion a VERY weird move to.....demote him?) but i think that was only for season 13, and that's his last appearance in the "wolfiverse" if i'm not mistaken. i don't think they had an explicit "replacement" for the position until vanessa hadid many seasons later, though someone please correct me if i'm wrong (season 14 is when barba shows up as ADA, but not bureau chief, so my guess is they just had less narrative reason for the bureau chief?). since mike hasn't appeared since, on the bright side it does allow us to theorize where he went (just because we're not seeing him on screen doesn't mean he isn't there). and you're right, peter stone is just a regular ADA (not EADA), as i believe most of the main prosecutors on SVU—at least the ones that wind up in court—are just regular ADAs.

i just wish the revival would give us even just one throwaway line about how mike and connie and lupo are doing. i'm dying out here!

dick wolf, please hire any one of us to keep track of continuity!!!! hell, i'd do it for free!! 😭😭😭

[valenshawke]

I tend to post this on the All Things Law & Order fansite. But since there's like two of you that watch the show, figure I'd crosspost it here slightly edited.

Below the cut so as not to clog people's dashes.

Cosgrove & Shaw carry the show. I was relieved to see no chase scene this time. A step forward!

I have no complaints of the investigative side. I even complimented the writers by bringing up Cosgrove's daughter in a relevant manner! Again, progress!

There were a couple of lines that I thought of that could have been used in the investigative side if the show wanted to have one of the characters make a snide comment here and there that were missed opportunities,

However, I feel like there was big missed opportunity: If there was ever a case where Special Victims Unit was needed and necessary, I feel like this was the case. Especially when we got to the real leader. This would have been a much less contrived and more logical crossover than the season premiere crossover event. Wouldn't even needed to be an event or anything. Though, really, you could have had this story carryover to SVU.

The legal side…

There were so many weird things here and I just don't get where the writers are going with Price and Maroun.

Maroun came off as very Hang'em High McCoy, like season 5 and 6 Jack who would go after anyone if a law was broken. I'm not even sure he would have considered pleading her out and probably would have demanded further investigation so they could build a case without her. So there's that, but… it seems very contradictory to how she's been presented at times. But who am I to ask for character consistency right now. But Maroun is making a stronger case that she should be EADA over Price.

Price. So, my friend and I made a mistake and did NOT predict the trade-up as we do almost every episode. We are ashamed, obviously. But this trade-up seemed different in that he took the role of the sympathetic lawyer where perhaps justice wasn't about retribution or punishment. Like, this trade-up was definitely to soften the blow to Jocelyn. On one hand, this makes sense given the whole former defense attorney. But this is the same guy who said he was the best among all the prosecutors in the Homicide Bureau.

Also, the way they wrote cult leader's fate? Just… lame.

Going back to the SVU Crossover needed for this episode, can you imagine Carisi in the same room with Price? That'd be so fun to watch.

And, again, we end with a courtroom scene with Price and Maroun in stark contrast on what they believe justice is. I don't believe both return next year. There's just too much conflict between the two lately and of the two, I hope Price is the one that leaves (why the writers are doing this to Hugh Dancy, I don't know).

Not the worst of the season, that was last week. But just standard for how the revival has gone. Cosgrove & Shaw doing good work and Price and Maroun doing whatever it is they're supposed to be doing very badly.

I think each of the three former EADAs would have been far more compelling prosecuting this case. Jack is Jack, got that ex-Catholicism and disdain towards the corruption of institutions. Mike would have been far more creative with the charges and case. I'm actually most interested in how Ben Stone would have done given he did prosecute a cult leader (maybe Jack did as well I just don't remember) and how that episode ended was just a punch in the gut.

Something To Talk About (Stogan WIP)

Apologies for not posting anything in a long while - I do have a number of WIP's in various stages - this is one of them. It's intended to be Stogan, but from the eyes of their colleagues. Here's what's intended to be the first chapter of the series, featuring Max Greevey and Paul Robinette:

And to think it all started with a bet. 

Max Greevey, Detective Sergeant with the NYPD, was complaining once again to his wife Marie about his partner, Mike Logan. Mike had a propensity for being a hothead, especially when it came to dealing with the head prosecutor, EADA Ben Stone - which, unfortunately for Max, happened quite a lot.

“I don’t get him sometimes, Marie.” Some weeks, there’s no fighting, and those were some pretty intense cases. But other times? Whew,” Max waved a hand, “It’s like cats and dogs. Paul and I can’t figure it out. They argue all the time.” 

Marie slid a cup of coffee to her husband. “Have you tried talking to Mike about it?”

“Of course, I have!” Max replied, before taking a sip, “Mike is - well, Mikey is going to be Mikey.”

“Have you tried talking to Ben, then?”

“Paul said he’d handle that,” Max shrugged, “Probably better that way. If it doesn’t work, we’ll just try another tactic.” He got up from the stool he was sitting at and made his way to the sink where Marie was, giving her a kiss before depositing his coffee mug in the sink. 

She took a bite of the toast she had just buttered. “You know, honey, maybe it could be something else, did you think of that?”

Max was shrugging into his suit jacket as he considered the thought, “I don’t know, what else could it be other than a clash of personalities and opinions?”

“They could be dating.” Marie said over the top of her mug.

Max froze, staring at his wife in shock. He considered the idea for a moment before dismissing it entirely. “Nah.”

She grinned. “It’s worth a thought.”

“You’ve been watching too many soaps with your mother, honey.” Max joked. 

“I’m serious! People who are passionately against each other are probably either wanting to kill or want to sleep with each other.” Marie continued, “I’m almost willing to bet on it.”

Max stared at Marie, scrutinizing. “$20.”

Marie chortled. “Oh no, Max Greevey. I’m not Mike. Money bets don’t work on me.” She stared back at her husband, challenging, “You do laundry for a month AND you finally get to cleaning out the garage and attic as you’ve been saying you would for a year.”

Max was feeling cocky, confident. No way Mikey and Ben were involved. NO WAY. “Okay, honey. You’re on.”

=====

District Attorney’s Office

Mid-morning

“Robinette.” 

“Paul! It’s Max.” 

“Hey, Max,” Paul flipped through his planner for the day, “Everything okay? Or - do we have a meeting I forgot about.”

“Everything is kosher for the moment, and we don’t.” Max confirmed. “I just needed to check if you talked with Ben about…Mike.”

“Uh, no, not quite.” Paul said, sheepishly. “It’s sometimes difficult to breach these things with Ben.”

Max sighed. “I get that. Same thing with this hothead partner of mine.”

Paul sat back in his office chair, smirking, “Wait - you’re not having this conversation with me while he’s sitting across from you?”

Max snorted. “Of course not. He’s not here yet.”

“That’s funny - neither is Ben. Which is weird, he -”

Max interrupted Paul, “WAIT. He what?”

Paul paused, confused. He decided to repeat his last point. “I said Ben isn’t here yet either.” There was silence on the other end, and it concerned Paul, “Max?”

“Maybe Marie is onto something here.”

“Max? Marie, what?”

Max sighed, “Marie had this hare-brained idea that maybe our two amigos could be…..together.”

Paul let out a blast of laughter, startling his next-door office mate. He composed himself quickly, “That’s - ridiculous.”

“That’s what I said!” Max exclaimed, “But now I have to disprove her, or I have to do laundry for a month.”

That revelation caused Paul to break out into more laughter, “I can’t believe you bet your wife. Laundry for a month is a formidable bet. What was your counteroffer?”

“The laundry was the counteroffer. I put down $20.” Max replied. 

“Hmmm. Money bets don’t work on significant others.”

“Tell me about it,” Max bemoaned, thinking of all the laundry he’d have to do if he’d lost this bet, “So, Counselor, do you think you could, I don’t know - see if you notice anything on your end so we can disprove this myth?”

Paul chuckled. “Sure, Max. I’ll let you know -” He glanced up to notice Ben walk into his office, “Oh, speaking of which, Ben’s just arrived. I need to check in with him. I’ll - let you know if I noticed anything.”

“About time you showed up!” Max joked to someone else, who Paul guessed was Mike, “Oh sorry, Paul, my hothead partner’s just dragged his ass in, we need to report to Cragen in a few. I’ll let you know if there are any - developments in the case.”

“Sounds good.”

[brazenautomaton]

law and order season 21 makes me want to write some big thesis statement about what it actually means to say something is “too political” and why that “hur hur star trek was political in the 60s you didn’t notice you’re so dumb” argument is asinine

L&O S21 is able to have politics done the normal way and be too political at the same time

also Price could be a good EADA, he’s a lot closer to Ben Stone who cared more about ethics, but Maroun is fucking awful. her character trait as the second-chair ADA is “does not want to win the case” which means that when she has a conflict with Price it’s gibberish pasted over a note to “put a conflict between the DAs here”

a character like Price needs someone like Abbey Carmichael, who was fucking bloodthirsty

"this is not a case of the ends justifying the means"

“Of course it is and you know it. You know it because you do the exact same thing every day of the week. You threaten to send them away or whisper their dirty little secrets to their wives or their bosses. You threaten to screw up their lives. Just so you can get a little information from them.”

Slings and Sweaters

Ben Stone stepped into your office, the familiar light colored sweater in place of a suit jacket. You told yourself that this observation came from the realization that if the EADA wasn't wearing part of his suit that that meant you were here far too late, and not because Ben Stone looked cute. Your gaze dropped to the arm currently held up across his chest, and watched in amusement as the sleeve draped over his broken wrist began to slowly wave from the fan running in the corner of your office. Pulling yourself out of your thoughts, you glanced down at your desk, searching for the note you had written earlier. Aha.

"The ADA from the Bronx called, she wants to talk to you, something about a case from two years ago, I didn't know which one she was referring to and didn't have time to go look through the files."

"Did you-"

You wove the post-it note and stood, relishing in the small look he gave you.

"I had one of the paralegals mark where the file would be before he left earlier today. It shouldn't take long. Give me a quick minute," you dashed off.

Alone in your office, his eyes wandered over to the space behind your chair, staring at what he was pretty sure used to be an old cereal box now storing several manila folders. He couldn't make out the pictures, but he wasn't here to be nosy. Nevertheless, he almost didn't hear you return.

"Looks like charges were dropped," you observed, placing the file into his hands as soon as you entered the room. As he opened the file, the sleeve slid off his broken wrist.

He didn't ask, probably didn't even need you to, but you gently slid the sweater back over his arm, taking care not to press against the sling as you reached for his glasses.

His blue eyes peered down at you affectionately, balancing the file in his hand while he reached for his glasses, fingertips just barely brushing your own.

"Thank you."

"Of course."

Eyes settled once again on the cardigan, you ignored the spark from the briefest contact still settled on your fingers, instead focusing on how the warm fabric hung off his shoulder.

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important groups. The police, who investigate crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute offenders. These are their stories.

Inspector Warren Jacobi (Tyrees Allen) – Lindsay's loyal partner. He was up for the lieutenant position that went to Tom, but has not expressed much disappointment that he didn't get the job, seeming to prefer field work to the politics of the higher position. He also seems to prefer the finer things in life, having an affinity for wine, 30-year-old whiskey, and opera. He is thrice-divorced and has a child from one of those marriages.

Lieutenant Tom Hogan (Rob Estes) – Lindsay's ex-husband, who in the first episode was promoted to lieutenant and assigned as her boss. He is engaged in the pilot and has remarried by "To Drag and to Hold," but he still worries that Lindsay's obsession with her work will consume her. Tom was played by Christopher Wiehl in the unaired pilot.

Deputy District Attorney Denise Kwon (Linda Park) - Jill's immediate superior at the DA's office, she clashes with her over her "bleeding heart" style. She is also antagonistic towards Jill due to her past romantic history with Hanson North. When the show returned after the writers' strike, the first episode credits no longer showed her name. But by the second episode, she was back in the credits as a series regular.

Recurring cast[edit]

Luke Bowen (Coby Ryan McLaughlin) – Jill's ex-boyfriend. He is an ER doctor at the fictional Mission Cross North. Jill and Luke have recently broken up after he finds that she had slept with Hanson.

Hanson North (Kyle Secor) – Defense attorney who has a romantic history with Jill and is currently seeing her boss, Denise Kwon.

Ed Washburn (Jonathan Adams) – Claire's husband. Currently uses a wheelchair full-time after being shot while serving as a police officer.

Heather Hogan née Donnelly (Ever Carradine) – Tom's new wife. She is a kindergarten teacher who is eco-friendly, planning a green wedding.

Pete Raynor (Joel Gretsch) – Lindsay's love interest in season 1, who is in town for only two weeks.

Danielle Moné Truitt as Sergeant Ayanna Bell, squad supervisor of the OCCB task force and Stabler's current direct superior and partner.

Ainsley Seiger as Detective 2nd Grade Jet Slootmaekers, a former independent hacker who is recruited to the OCCB task force on Stabler's recommendation. She was requalified as an NYPD officer to work with the OCCB task force. In season 3 episode 16 ("Chinatown"), she is promoted from Detective 3rd Grade to Detective 2nd Grade.

Tamara Taylor as Prof. Angela Wheatley (seasons 1–2), a former math professor at Columbia University, ex-wife of Richard Wheatley, and a suspect in the hit ordered on Kathy Stabler. She committed suicide and presumably murdered Richard at the same time after discovering that Richard was responsible for her son Richie's murder.

Dylan McDermott as Richard Wheatley (seasons 1–2), son of notorious mobster Manfredi Sinatra, now a businessman and owner of an online pharmaceutical company who leads a second life as a crime boss, and was a suspect in the murder of Stabler's wife. He was presumed murdered by Angela after she discovered that Wheatley murdered their son Richie.

Nona Parker Johnson as Detective 3rd Grade Carmen "Nova" Riley (season 2, recurring season 2), an undercover narcotics detective working under Brewster's command to infiltrate the Marcy Killers. She retires from the NYPD and leaves New York after the murder of the gang's leader Preston Webb.

Brent Antonello as Detective 2nd Grade Jamie Whelan (season 3), a detective with the OCCB. In the season 3 finale, he is shot and paralyzed by Kyle Wilkie and later dies in the hospital.

Rick Gonzalez as Detective 2nd Grade Bobby Reyes (season 3–present), an undercover detective with the OCCB.

Chicago pd

Jason Beghe as Sergeant Henry "Hank" Voight, the enigmatic and often mercurial chief of the Chicago P.D.'s Intelligence Unit. Despite his brutal, tough exterior, he is loyal to the cops and detectives serving under him and highly "dedicated" to the victims of the crimes his unit investigates to the point of committing human rights violations, mainly torture, and not respecting the law. He is first introduced in Chicago Fire as a dirty cop who clashes with CFD Lieutenant Matthew Casey after Voight's son, Justin, causes an accident in which a teenager is paralyzed, and Casey, who was first on scene, had intended to testify that Justin was DUI. He is arrested by Det. Antonio Dawson for trying to have Casey silenced by force but is later released from prison and reinstated to the police force by Internal Affairs. As a result, many of Casey's colleagues dislike him, and Casey's superior Chief Boden has a love-hate working relationship with him. It is eventually revealed in the Chicago Fire episode "Let Her Go" that his dirty cop alter ego was part of an undercover operation to catch criminals and other dirty cops. Prior to taking command of Intelligence, Voight worked in the Gang Unit. His father Richard was a former CPD officer who was killed in the line of duty. Voight is a widower; his wife, Camille, died of cancer some years prior. His son, Justin, served in the Army and was killed in the last episode of season 3 while trying to help a friend. Voight took an interest in Erin Lindsay at 14 and raised her as his daughter.

Jon Seda as Senior Detective Antonio Dawson (seasons 1–6), an Intelligence Unit detective who previously arrested Voight for harassment and has since worked alongside him. Unlike Voight, he has limits on how far he will go to get criminals off the streets, as shown by the fact that he asks Halstead to stop Voight from killing anyone while on the hunt for Pulpo because he does not want it on his conscience. He and his ex-wife Laura have two children: Diego and Eva. He is the older brother of Chicago Fire character Gabriela "Gabby" Dawson. In season 4, he is offered a job at the State's Attorney's Office as Lead Investigator, which he accepts. After becoming disillusioned with the job, he returns to the unit in the first episode of season 5. In season 6, Antonio struggles with recovering from a shoulder injury and dependency on the oxycodone he is taking for the pain. After a dealer he owes kidnaps, beats, and rapes his daughter, Antonio, high on oxy, kills him in revenge. Though Voight and Ruzek manage to cover up the incident as self-defense, and Antonio successfully recovers in rehab, mayor-hopeful Superintendent Brian Kelton later gets the case reopened in order to take down the Intelligence Unit, and in the season finale, Antonio relapses after Ruzek is arrested after taking the blame for everything to protect him. In the season 7 premiere, it is revealed that Voight found Antonio and checked him into an off-the-books rehab clinic to get him clean again while also protecting his career. It was revealed several episodes later that Antonio resigned and moved to Puerto Rico to spend more time with his family.

Sophia Bush as Detective Erin Lindsay (seasons 1–4),[7] a tough Intelligence Unit detective and former CI whom Voight took under his wing when she was a juvenile delinquent. Because of this, she is closer to Voight than the other members of the unit. She has a half-brother, Teddy Courtney, who was taken by a pedophile ring at age thirteen and was found turning tricks in New York City 10 years later. She was in a relationship with her partner Jay Halstead from seasons 2 to 4. Near the end of the fourth season, Lindsay is accused of assault after she sticks her gun down a pedophile's throat in the interrogation room; facing possible dismissal from the police force, she accepts a job offer at the FBI in New York and leaves Chicago.

Jesse Lee Soffer as Senior Detective Jay Halstead (seasons 1–10), an Intelligence Unit detective who was Detective Lindsay's partner. A former Army Ranger, he is confident in his abilities and sometimes comes across as cocky. He also suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, shown progressively during Season 5, later seeking therapy for it. He is the older brother of Chicago Med character Dr. Will Halstead. He was in a relationship with his partner Erin Lindsay from season 2 until she transferred to the FBI in New York at the end of season 4. He later marries fellow detective Hailey Upton in season 9. Following Olinsky's death and Antonio's resignation, Halstead becomes Voight's right-hand. He later resigns from the force early in season 10 after becoming disillusioned with the gray area the Intelligence Unit has to work in, and returns to the Army in a new job hunting drug cartels in Bolivia.

Patrick John Flueger as Officer Adam Ruzek, a younger police officer recruited straight out of the academy by Olinsky to do undercover work. He is often portrayed as an overeager amateur who dives headfirst into a situation without thinking. His parents are separated, and he split time between his father, "Disco Bob" Ruzek (Jack Coleman), a longtime patrol officer with the 26th District who lives in Beverly, and his mother in Canaryville.

The lizzie bennet diaries

Elizabeth "Lizzie" Bennet (Ashley Clements;[11] Elizabeth Bennet in the novel) is the middle Bennet sister and the narrator of most of the vlogs. She is a graduate student studying mass communications and, like her original counterpart, believes women should be highly educated and do more with their lives than simply pursue husbands. She is very close with her best friend, Charlotte Lu, who was born on the same day as she, as well as her older sister, Jane, while appearing to have a more strained relationship with her younger sister, Lydia. While it is clear that she cares for her family and friends, she can also be fairly prejudiced and quick to judge people who she perceives as condescending or a threat to her way of life, such as Darcy and, at first, Bing Lee.

Charlotte Lu (Julia Cho;[12] Charlotte Lucas in the novel) is Lizzie's best friend and often the director/editor of her vlog. Charlotte wants to be a filmmaker and convinced Lizzie to start her vlog as part of a school project. While the original character of Charlotte Lucas from the books is a minor character, Lu's role in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries has been greatly expanded; she appears in many of the beginning episodes, and, according to both Lizzie and Jane, practically lives at the Bennet house. Charlotte and Lizzie have a falling out after Charlotte accepts Ricky Collins' job offer (which Lizzie originally turned down), but the two soon reconcile.

Jane Bennet (Laura Spencer[13]) is the eldest of the Bennet children, and an overworked, underpaid merchandise coordinator in the fashion world. She is incredibly polite, sweet and, according to Lizzie, "practically perfect in every way."[14] When Bing Lee moves into town, Jane is immediately smitten with him, much to the absolute joy of her mother. Jane is devastated by Bing's sudden departure. She moves to Los Angeles for both a new job and the hope of reconnecting with Bing. She later returns to her home to support her sister Lydia through her difficulties. After this is resolved, Jane is offered a new job in New York City and reconciles with Bing.

Lydia Britney Bennet (Mary Kate Wiles[15]) is the youngest Bennet child, currently attending community college. She is "feisty, energetic, and unapologetic."[16] Lizzie, somewhat less kindly, describes her as "too old to be on any reality shows about having babies in high school."[14] She has also created a series of her own videos starring herself, her cousin Mary, and her cat, Kitty.[17] On the occasion of her 21st birthday in December 2012, she and Lizzie get into a bitter argument about Lydia's perceived immaturity, and Lydia makes plans to vacation in Las Vegas for New Year's Eve, where she meets George Wickham and begins dating. Later, after being the victim of George Wickham's money-making site, she makes up with her sisters.

Bing Lee (Christopher Sean;[18] Charles Bingley in the novel) is a young, wealthy Asian-American medical student who has moved into The Netherfield House in the same neighborhood as the Bennets. He quickly falls for Jane Bennet and begins to date her. Bing abruptly leaves Netherfield and Jane by returning to Los Angeles, breaking Jane's heart, after Darcy suggests that Jane is only engaging in a relationship with him for his money and Caroline tells him that Jane flirted with another guy at his birthday party. However, after a run-in with Lizzie during her time at Pemberley Digital, he makes a return, having quit medical school to pursue his own passions. He and Jane move to New York together in episode 92.

Caroline Lee (Jessica Jade Andres;[19] Caroline Bingley in the novel) is Bing Lee's sister. She is aware of Lizzie's vlog diaries and appears to help Lizzie keep Bing and Darcy from discovering them during Lizzie and Jane's stay at Netherfield. She has a romantic interest in William Darcy, although her feelings aren't reciprocated. She is later revealed to have attempted to manipulate events to keep Bing and Jane apart, as well as (to a lesser extent) stymie Darcy's feelings for Lizzie. Caroline reappears in the sequel, Emma Approved, as Senator James Elton's fiancé, replacing Augusta Elton, the original wife of Philip Elton, from the novel.[20]

Ricky Collins (Maxwell Glick;[21] William Collins in the novel) is a former classmate of Lizzie and Charlotte's, who asks that he be addressed only as Mr. Collins. He has formed an alliance with venture capitalist Catherine de Bourgh, to attempt a foray into the world of web video. Mr. Collins frequently visits the Bennets while in town for a few weeks and, near the end of his stay, offers Lizzie a lucrative job at his company, Collins and Collins. Lizzie turns him down, so he offers the job to Charlotte, who accepts. This decision causes a brief but bitter argument between the two best friends, but they reconcile after Charlotte invites Lizzie to visit Collins & Collins (in the fictional town of Hunsford, California), where Lizzie also learns to tolerate Mr. Collins.

William Darcy (Daniel Vincent Gordh;[22] Fitzwilliam Darcy in the novel) is Bing Lee's best friend and the wealthy heir to an entertainment corporation called Pemberley Digital. He stays with Bing and Caroline at Netherfield until they all leave for Los Angeles. He first meets Lizzie at a wedding, and she overheard him telling Bing that she was "decent enough", which is when her dislike towards him starts. He is described by Lizzie as a snobby and condescending robot, and Jane has difficulty coming up with a flattering descriptor of him, beyond "tall";[23] Charlotte, however, believes that Darcy has a crush on Lizzie.[24] For a long time, second-hand characterization is all the audience has to go by, as Darcy is referred to but never seen, making his first appearance in episodes 59[25] (only from the neck down) and 60,[26] where he confirms Charlotte's suspicions by confessing his love for Lizzie.

George Wickham (Wes Aderhold[27]) is the coach of a university swim team who forms a short-lived romantic attachment with Lizzie. He claims that though he and Darcy were childhood friends, Darcy ruined his life by withholding money Darcy's father had promised, thereby ending George's hopes of a college education.[28] He leaves town for work, eventually re-entering the story after New Year's Day, where he meets and becomes romantically involved with Lydia, as chronicled in her spin-off videos. At the same time, Lizzie learns that George gambled away all the money the elder Darcy left for him, and then took advantage of Gigi Darcy, William's sister, for more. Finally, he attempts to exploit "YouTube Star Lydia Bennet" by releasing a sex tape of the two of them online.[29]

Fitz Williams (Craig Frank;[30] Col. Fitzwilliam in the novel) is Darcy's friend and colleague. Lizzie meets him while dining with Catherine de Bourgh, Darcy's aunt and Charlotte's boss. He has a boyfriend, Brandon, whose name was officially confirmed on Fitz's Twitter, and is particularly good at making care-packages.

Georgiana "Gigi" Darcy (Allison Paige;[31] Georgiana Darcy in the novel) is William Darcy's younger sister and a graphic designer at Pemberley Digital. Her first appearance in The Lizzie Bennet Diaries was Episode 77. She is aware of the video diaries, and claims to like them. She and George Wickham were romantically involved, but this ended when William proved that George was taking advantage of her for the money. Twitter posts between Gigi and Fitz suggest that she actively tries to push Lizzie and Darcy together. She is also instrumental in helping to end George's money-making plot: though the website itself did not list his name and George had stopped returning calls, he answers Gigi when she calls him, allowing Fitz and Darcy to track him down. Thereafter Darcy bought out the company which owned the rights to the sex tape, preventing it from ever being released.

Mrs. Bennet is Lizzie's mother. She appears to be a traditional Southern woman, eager to see her daughters married and interested in little else besides neighborhood gossip. She is almost always impersonated by Lizzie.

Mr. Bennet is Lizzie's father. He appears more calm and levelheaded than his wife, though one of his favorite activities, according to Lizzie, is winding her up.[32] He has a special fondness for bonsai trees and prepares a train extravaganza every Christmas. He is often impersonated by Charlotte and Lydia.

Catherine de Bourgh (Lady Catherine de Bourgh in the novel) is Darcy's aunt and an extremely wealthy venture capitalist who is the primary investor in Collins & Collins, the new media firm run by Mr. Collins, where Charlotte accepts a job offer after Lizzie rejected it. Catherine is very attached to her sickly dog who she calls Annie Kins. She is quick with her opinions and judgements. Charlotte said that Catherine is "on Team Caroline," meaning that she wants her nephew to be with Caroline. She is impersonated by Lizzie, and Ashley Clements says her impression is a combination of Julia Child, Miranda Priestly and Dolores Umbridge.[33]

Mary Bennet (Briana Cuoco[34]) is Lydia, Jane, and Lizzie's cousin who has appeared sporadically in Lydia's vlogs and once in Lizzie's. She becomes better friends and occasional tutor with Lydia while Lydia is staying at her house despite their opposing personalities. She is often the "forgotten" character and her Twitter reads, "I am Mary, never forgotten." Mary also has a boyfriend by the name of Eddie (a subtle nod to the character of Edmund Bertram from Austen's Mansfield Park.)[35] In the novel, she is actually one of the five Bennet sisters, being the middle sister between Elizabeth and Kitty.

Kitty Bennet (Rosie of House Wiles) is Lydia's cat who appears in Lydia's vlogs. In the novel, she is actually one of the five Bennet sisters, being the second youngest after Lydia.
