Blaine's father. Carter is high powered attorney and after a long struggle has finally reached a place where he accepts instead of merely tolerates his son's sexuality. He's very conservative but does approve of Kurt, mostly due to years of exposure and Kurt's proving he can and will put Blaine's happiness first. He does NOT approve of Bas or Jesse and it's causing renewed tension in his relationship with Blaine.

Blaine's mother. She met Carter in law school and is a partner in a rival firm. She and Carter are extremely competitive but also extremely devoted. They weren't the most demonstrative parents and now that their boys are adults regrets are creeping in. She's made an honest effort to be a better mother and her efforts were rewarded by having a wonderful relationship with Cooper and Blaine now. Blaine's "situation" has thrown her for a loop. Being married to Kurt was respectable; the debauchery he's living in now is not. The tension threatens to derail all the progress she's made with Blaine.

Blaine's older brother. Cooper is an actor as well and the family "golden boy"-not because of any accomplishments he's made, but because he's adept as using his charming personality to his advantage. Cooper plays the part of "dumb himbo" extremely well, but only those close to him know that he's extremely intelligent and had been groomed to follow in his father's footsteps until he rebelled and ran off to New York the summer after his senior year in high school. There is a bit of a sibling rivalry with Cooper and Blaine because Blaine felt abandoned by Cooper and resentful that Cooper gets to skate through on cheap laughs and a smile while Blaine has to break his back to be perfect and it's STILL never quite good enough for the family. They love each other fiercely however and Cooper is squarely in his brother's corner. He loves Kurt and has come to accept and care for Bas but Jesse is a sore spot. He and Jesse don't get along, a long time professional rivalry that has turned personal and looks to only get more dicey now that that they have been cast on the same prime time show. There's a history there and well...it's best for everyone if the past stays in the past.

Blaine and Cooper's maternal grandfather. He's an artist who has always had a very special relationship with Blaine. He understands him and supports him in everything he does, including his romantic relationships.

The much married Analise-Pascal-Laurent-Moreau-Williamson-Smythe is a photographer and artist. She's pansexual and her current partner is female. Analise is a former high fashion model and has had a string of high profile affairs. She is an almost permanent fixture in the french tabloids. Analise was a loving but permissive parent. She is very immature and wasn't ready for motherhood when Sebastian was younger. Analise has always been more of a friend than a parent and even though she loves Sebastian she spoiled him rotten, was over indulgent and overly permissive to compensate for her absence. She has no problem with Sebastian's relationship because she herself has had several unconventional love affairs.

Analise's partner. The most stable relationship Analise has had since Bas's father ended their marriage. Melina is free spirit but she's grounded in a way that Analise isn't and confident without being cocky. Her career as an art buyer frequently takes her to New York and although she is very open to having a relationship with Bas she's unsure as to her place in his life and doesn't want to push.

A former star of french cinema, Sebastian's grandmother. She adores her grandson but worries that his mother's shortcomings have negatively influenced Bas. She also spoils Sebastian and believes he deserves the very best of everything-including lovers. Don't let the kindly old grandmother facade fool you- Catherine is a force to be reckoned with when crossed and taught Sebastian everything he knows about getting over-and getting even.

Sebastian's paternal grandmother. Jacinda is appalled but not surprised by Sebastian's "latest stunt". She is convinced his "problems" are because of his mother-who she told Alexander she didn't approve of and does NOT get along with-being a bad influence on Bas. She prays he'll come to his senses soon. Because Sebastian was Alexander's only child she is extremely over involved in his life and,Jacinda, Analise and Catherine often get into power plays putting Bas squarely in the middle.

Sebastian's assistant. Gets paid for secretly tipping off the paps about Bas's clients and the boys comings and goings. Tessa is driven, intelligent and determined to succeed by any means necessary. She's also devious, extremely cunning and is not content to simply be Sebastian's assistant. Tessa is ruthlessly ambitious and has her sights set on becoming an agent in her own right. If she has to take Sebastian down first to get there then well...may the best (wo)man win.

Jesse's last ex and current personal assistant. Van is a struggling actor who hasn't had his "big break" yet-and guess what- it's not coming. Not because he doesn't have what it takes-but because he doesn't want to WORK for it. Van's insanely talented, he just also happens to be incredibly lazy. He thought that attaching himself to Jesse would be the quickest way to get his star to rise but found himself dumped for not one but three guys AND stuck getting Jesse's dry cleaning for a paycheck. He hates Kurt and is out for revenge but is biding his time. After all, he's already wormed his way into Jesse's house. He's already back in Jesse's bed...he just has to figure out a way to get Jesse to join him.

Sam became an official member of the "Hudmel" clan when he lived with them for his senior year and he, Kurt, Finn and Blaine have stayed close over the years. Sam lives in New York and parlayed his love of video games into a career as a pro gamer. He gives Kurt or Blaine the unvarnished truth when they need to hear it-whether or not they ask. He and Mercedes are on again/off again so much they have put Finn and Rachel to shame. Sam loves Mercedes, it's just that every single time they get together circumstances conspire to keep them apart-literally. The last time they broke up it was because she was touring Europe singing with Jennifer Hudson. Now that Mercedes is stepping out front and center, Sam fears he might just lose her to stardom for good.

Mercedes has finally gotten her big break after years of working as a very successful background and demo singer. She's currently recording her solo album and still firmly in Kurt's life-and his business. She makes no bones about not being cool with Kurt and Blaine being married but "having boys on the side." She and Kurt have reached a point where they've agreed to disagree. She knows she can't push him on this or she'll lose him-but she's not happy about it. Or about her relationship with Sam. They have reached a point where they need to either make it work or walk away-she just doesn't know which way things will end up. She loves Sam, but not enough to give up her dreams or to ask him to give up his. She knows in her soul that Sam is the love of her life...she just doesn't know if their story is going to have a bittersweet or happy ending.

Brittany showed up on Kurt's dorm room door step fleeing an abusive relationship she'd fallen into with a girl from her dance program after things with Santana fell apart and sort of never left his side. She's currently teaching dance at a community center and lives in an apartment in the same building as the boys-that Kurt often pays the monthly rent for. Bas is oddly jealous of her relationship w/Kurt and doesn't appreciate the reminders that Kurt is "her favorite ex boyfriend" or the way that Kurt refuses to let Britt stand on her own two feet but she's struck up an oddly close friendship with Jesse. Brittany is finally dating again and he seems like a good guy but it's early yet.

A single parent who is currently dating Brittany. His wife died in child birth and he rebounded into a bad relationship with a woman who eventually left him and his daughter-after taking him for nearly every cent he had. He'd closed his heart off for a long time and met Brittany when his daughter Carmen started taking dance lessons from her at the local community center. Britt's close relationship with Kurt almost stopped the relationship before it started because he had no idea who Kurt was or that he was gay-but the way Brittany went on and on about the guy had him thinking she was still in love with her high school ex. He finds Brittany's special way of looking at the world beautiful and even though they both have scars he thinks they can help each other heal.

Armando's eight year old daughter. Carmen adores Brittany and has decided Ms. Pierce should be her new mommy "since her mama went to heaven and her mommy Gina left".

A Liz Smith style gossip columnist who has a lot of power and plays favorites-luckily Jesse is one those favorites. He is positively giddy over Kurt and Jesse taking their love from onstage to off...and keeps the boys front and center, often intentionally leaving out mentions of Blaine and Bas. He's not someone to antagonize because where Jamison Sinclaire goes, the rest of the gossip world follows. He's a good friend to have and a very bad enemy to make.
