Synopsis

Cast and characters

Main characters

• Sheriff Jack Carter, portrayed by Colin Ferguson, is a U.S. Marshal who reluctantly ends up as the sheriff of Eureka. Jack is consistently dumbfounded by the wonders Eureka produces, as well as its propensity to produce things that often threaten the entire town. Despite being a man of average intelligence in a town full of geniuses, Jack's admittedly simple ideas and his intuition often save the day.
• Zoe Carter, portrayed by Jordan Danger, is Jack's rebellious teenage daughter. Unlike her father, she is intelligent enough to keep up with the town's residents. Yet, like her father, she also possesses street smarts, something lacking for most of the town's residents. She hopes to attend Harvard Medical School and become a physician and later does due to the alternate timeline.
• Dr. Allison Blake, portrayed by Salli Richardson-Whitfield, is a Department of Defense agent who acts as the liaison between Global Dynamics and the federal government in season one. Later, she becomes the head of Global Dynamics. Allison, unmarried, is mother of Kevin, who has autism, but is shown to have improved symptoms in an alternate timeline.
• Dr. Henry Deacon, portrayed by Joe Morton, is the town jack of all trades and a brilliant scientist. Henry has ethical objections to the kind of research conducted at Global Dynamics, so he prefers to be employed as the town's mechanic. Henry's assistance is often invaluable in defusing the bad situations that are created by experiments at Global Dynamics.
• Dr. Jim Taggart, portrayed by Matt Frewer, is a somewhat eccentric animal expert. He works in geophysics.
• Vincent, portrayed by Chris Gauthier, is the owner of Cafe Diem.
• Dr. Nathan Stark, portrayed by Ed Quinn, is one of Eureka's top scientists. He and Jack are frequently at odds, although both respect each other. On and off, he is romantically involved with Allison. He is modeled after Tony Stark, a Marvel Comics character.
• Dr. Beverly Barlowe, portrayed by Debrah Farentino, is the town psychiatrist. She secretly works for a mysterious organization known as the Consortium, which has expressed a desire to exploit Eureka's innovations by whatever means necessary.
• Josephina "Jo" Lupo, portrayed by Erica Cerra, is Eureka's deputy sheriff. She is a former U.S. Army Ranger with a love of firearms.
• Dr. Douglas Fargo, portrayed by Neil Grayston, is a junior scientist, treated somewhat dismissively by his peers. Accident-prone, he often ends up a victim of the disasters befalling the town, and has caused a fair share of the problems. Grayston also provides the voice of S.A.R.A.H., the bunker home Jack and Zoe Carter live in.
• Zane Donovan, portrayed by Niall Matter, is a rebellious genius who is recruited to Global Dynamics. He allegedly caused a stock market crash, and agreed to work for GD as an alternative to imprisonment.
• Dr. Grace Monroe, portrayed by Tembi Locke, a scientist, mechanic, and wife of Henry Deacon in an alternate timeline created after the Eureka Five time-traveled to 1947.
