Danielle Davis
Played By Jennifer Andrada
Danielle Davis has spent the last two years in Altoona working for one of the local network affiliates as an on the scene reporter. Danielle thought she was being transferred to be the co-host of a Pittsburgh-based medical show. She thought it was the logical next step towards furthering her dreams of becoming a studio anchor. She was....... a bit mistaken. Macabre Manor needs a new assistant. Danielle is now that assistant. It remains to be seen just how greatly Ms. Davis’s consistent professionalism is put to the test. Especially if her new co-workers continue to call her “Dani”.
WEndy Wylde
Played By Katie Maloney
Wendy Wylde has been a producer for various programs at WHLP. Wendy has headed up production of Macabre Manor for the past four years. She genuinely enjoys producing the late-night horror and variety show and the freedoms the time slot has provided her, despite its tendencies to go off the rails on a frequent basis. Wendy tries to balance bringing order to the show with letting The Good Doctor take the joyful liberties he’s so accustomed to. Dr. Macabre respects Wendy’s abilities and dedication, and the two have formed a strong working relationship.

Rover
Played By Donnie McDonnell
All will be revealed. Someday.
Mary Jane Markowicz
Played By Barbara Lechene
One of the co-hosts on WHLP’s ‘Rise and Shine with Channel Nine’, Mary Jane Markowicz believes herself to be a very big fish in an exceedingly small and talentless pond. Egotistically unpleasant at the best of times and conniving and completely self-absorbed at the worst, Mary Jane Markowicz takes great pleasure in making the station bend to her whims due to her quasi-celebrity.
Travis Taylor
Played By Brett C. Wagner
A co-host on WHLP’s ‘Rise and Shine with Channel Nine’, Travis Taylor’s delusions of grandeur are overshadowed only by his abject disdain of his co-workers. A true master of the plastic smile, Travis views the station’s morning show as nothing more than a springboard to his eventual and well-deserved placement on the national television stage.
Chef Cook
Played By David Carmine
Chef Cook, host of WHLP’s ‘Bon Appétit, lives the life of the celebrity chef – as far as that gets you in Pittsburgh. In all respects a very gifted and accomplished chef, Cook often chooses to focus more upon his developed persona than his culinary talents. A regular guest on locally syndicated tv shows such as ‘Rise and Shine with Channel Nine’ and other feel-good news segments, Chef Cook sees his star rising faster than his chocolate soufflé.
Wally Wasik
Played By Shane Yuhas
Athletics aficionado and snappy dresser, Wally Wasik eats, breathes, and sleeps sports. Local, national, professional, high school – doesn't matter. His dedication to his live show ‘Super Steel City Sports’ is unwavering, even considering the inevitable lack of sports IQ frequently displayed by the myriad of his regular callers.
John Relich
Played By David Kost
Pittsburgh’s premier supernatural exterminator (or so he says), John Relich is a one-man task force standing up to the monsters of the world and protecting those who the creatures threaten. With his ever-present moto of preparedness at all times, John Relich has brought his knowledge and fearless attitude to the set of Macabre Manor frequently over the past several years, becoming one of the show’s favorite recurring guests. John’s somewhat reckless nature has been tolerated by the show’s producers, as he has developed a close friendship with Dr. Macabre and ratings do tend to spike when the monster hunter makes an appearance.
