THE MARLERS

JUSTIN MARLER
Phillip’s biological father. His indiscretion during his marriage to Jackie caused her to give birth to Phillip—and give him up—in secret. He did not know he had a son until Phillip was 10 years old. He was once married to Elizabeth Spaulding.

JACKIE SCOTT MARLER
Phillip’s biological mother who married Alan Spaulding to be close to her son. She tragically died in a plane crash before Phillip found out that he was her son.

SAMANTHA MARLER
Phillip’s bookish biological sister who went upstairs to study for law school and never reappeared. Last we heard, she was living with her father.

ROSS MARLER
Phillip’s uncle and perhaps his best father figure. Ross is an attorney and a former D.A. Gives out the best advice in Springfield.

DINAH MARLER
Phillip’s cousin, Daughter of Ross Marler and Vanessa Chamberlain. Currently on the lamb for killing Hart Jessup.

BLAKE THORPE MARLER
Ross’ wife (well, ex-wife, almost wife) who was once married to Phillip, a marriage that ended when she hid the secret that Beth was alive and committed Phillip. Daughter of Holly Norris and Roger Thorpe.

JASON and KEVIN MARLER
Ross and Blake’s fraternal twin sons. Kevin was once thought to be sired by Rick.

CLARISSA MARLER
Ross and Blake’s daughter.

BEN WARREN
Ross, Justin and Lainie’s secret half-brother who came to Springfield to avenge Ross by stealing his wife. Phillip’s uncle. Had a friendship—and briefly more—with Beth. Murdered by Carmen Santos.

DREW JACOBS
Phillip’s cousin, daughter of Ben Warren and Selena Davis.

LAINIE MARLER
Phillip’s biological aunt
