Overview of Role/Notes

Dan is a likable and sympathetic character—an architect, husband, and, in many ways, Diana’s caregiver. He longs for a “normal” family life and spends the show trying to fix Diana and their family’s dysfunction while suppressing his own emotional struggles. His journey reveals a man who appears steadfast and controlled but is quietly unravelling under the weight of grief and responsibility.
