Greg Butler (Peter Helliar)

Greg Butler (Peter Helliar)

A Births, Deaths And Marriages employee for what seems like forever, Greg has never had cause to complain. But when his wife decides to relaunch her career, it gets him thinking about his own. Being a stay-at-home dad has never been so appealing.

Emily Butler (Lisa McCune)

Now that her youngest child is at school, Em’s ready to re-enter the world and return to the workforce. While Greg is overly cautious, idealistic Em tends to get carried away by the romance of spontaneity. And she’ll stop at nothing to get the best for her family.

Terry Roach (Darren Gilshenan)

Terry Roach (Darren Gilshenan)

The type of neighbour who comes over without knocking, kind-hearted Terry could do with a dose of self-awareness. An arborist-turned-life coach, he’s madly in love with Marlo, his de facto partner of eight years. Unlike Greg and Em, they have a great sex life.

Marlo Machelski (Nikki Britton)

Marlo Machelski (Nikki Britton)

Vivacious, adventurous and ballsy, Terry’s partner Marlo comes with her own motto: “No regrets”. She has no qualms about constantly talking about sex ‒ and often comments on Greg and Em’s marriage.

Brad Butler (Phil Lloyd)

Brad Butler (Phil Lloyd)

Greg’s younger brother is a bit of a no-hoper. He’s desperate to get married, but is hopelessly single, despite his best efforts on Tinder. Brad moved into Greg and Em’s house temporarily, but seems to have no intention of leaving.

Sophie Butler (Willow Ryan-Fuller)

Sophie Butler (Willow Ryan-Fuller)

Greg and Em’s 13-year-old daughter is wise but, like any teenager, has come to resent her parents. Sophie’s dry sense of humour is really a cover for her insecurities.

Chloe Butler (Vivien Turner)

Chloe Butler (Vivien Turner)

Cheeky, manipulative and super-smart, Greg and Em’s five-year-old is quick to drop some truth bombs when it comes to her parents’ poor behaviour.
