Ray Prager

As played by Romano Orzari

A suicide attempt has made the man into a monster, and two murder charges have lost him his freedom and his family. As his trial date draws nearer, Ray makes a calculated gambit to save himself from prison, a gambit that involves Sadie, his son Ray Jr., and various old friends. He undermines Sadie’s faith in her father, and makes declarations of remorse that have Ray Jr. looking to forgive the father he never had and needs so desperately. Ray has ultimate power over his old friends whose secret Ray is keeping. They’ll do anything for him – including fabricating alibis and intimidating witnesses, thinning the evidence more with every passing day. His ploy to win over Ray Jr. brings him love that he is surprised to find he needs. When it comes to telling the truth in the name of that love, he can’t and loses his son. He’s made his choice, monster over man, and when Pen Verrity asks him to enact her justice for his freedom, he is only too willing.
