Marie will say out loud anything and everything that comes to mind when it comes to things she believes Debra is doing wrong. Ray is Marie's favorite son who can never do anything wrong, so Ray is always getting babied by his mother, even when she is putting down Debra.

Ray's father Frank is retired. Frank is an ordinary and typical father-in-law and grandpa type character. He tells it like it is when asked something, whatever the topic of the question is. He will undo his belt and his pants after over eating at any meal. Frank will not cook for himself, saying he does not know how to, so Marie waits on him for anything and everything he wants.

Robert, a New York cop, is Ray's older brother and his only brother. After Robert got a divorce from his wife he moved back into Frank and Marie's house across the street from Ray and Debra. As with any sibling, Robert will take Ray and Debra's side when it pertains to the way Marie treats them, except for when Marie is around.
