After the success of The Fosters, Freeform's spin-off series Good Trouble took Callie and Mariana on an adventure to test their friendship and sisterly bond. The pair move to LA in the hopes of pursuing their dreams and finding themselves, but they also have trials to face and drama to overcome.
The series has a dynamic, diverse, and powerful cast with characters that each have their own distinct obstacles. The characters are played in a way that develops strong bonds with viewers and reminds them of their own struggles with finding themselves. The best characters are the ones that find a balance in their lives and stay true to themselves.
Isaac
Isaac might only be a supporting character, but his growth over the course of the series is something to be admired. When viewers are first introduced to him, he comes off as someone who only cares about looks and is shallow. However, after Malika talks to him more she realizes that the pair have a lot in common and they begin a relationship.
Isaac is still a mysterious character to viewers and reveals anecdotes about himself in each appearance he makes on the show. Isaac seems to isolate himself from Malika at times, which confuses her until she realizes that he suffers from anxiety and is trying to cope with it in his own way. Isaac still has more about himself that he has kept secret, but hopefully, viewers will get the chance to dive deeper into his personality.
Evan
Evan is a beloved supporting character that has made a big impact on the series. After he makes his first introduction as the owner of Speckulate, fans immediately sensed the chemistry between him and Mariana. Evan has social anxiety and OCD but really comes out of his shell around Mariana.
They eventually begin a relationship in the series and even though it is still new, Evan really seems to be a good match for Mariana. However, because of their previous work-related relationship, there may be trouble ahead for the young couple.
Dennis
Dennis has a heartbreaking backstory that gives his character tremendous depth. After being a workaholic throughout his son's life in order to provide for his family, Dennis' son dies of cancer and his marriage falls apart. He decides to move into the Coterie in order to distance himself from his problems but this ends up affecting his mental health severely.
After Dennis develops a connection with Davia he opens up more with the other members of the Coterie. Dennis ends up sharing his past with the Coterie members and he also works on rebuilding his mental health. He also develops a romantic relationship with Davia until he realizes that he needs to take some time away from the Coterie in order to grieve over his son.
Jamie
Jamie is a former boyfriend of Callie's and has become a memorable character for fans. During their time together, Jamie supported Callie while she took her bar exam and struggled to maintain a job. However, Callie takes some of Jamie's files regarding work he is doing which costs him his job, reputation, and ultimately ends their relationship.
Jamie is confident but he also has a soft side that viewers see when he is trying to help Callie. Even though their relationship ended, Jamie still shows that he cares for Callie and tries to help her whenever he can. Jamie also still seems to have some anger towards Callie and her actions, which means that reconciliation of their relationship is unlikely.
Davia
Davia is another character with a bold personality that stands out. She is a school teacher that is pursuing her Master's degree while also balancing being a body-positive influencer. Davia started out the series coming off as self-centered and quick to anger, but viewers soon realize that she is using that as a defense mechanism for her own insecurities.
Davia develops a friendship with Dennis after learning about his son and helping him overcome the grief he ignored. She also begins to learn how her students are treated unfairly and educates herself on ways she can help them be successful in school.
Malika
Malika's strong will and passion for social justice make her a powerful character. Malika grew up in the foster system and developed an independence that stands out among the other characters in the series. She hardly ever shows weakness and frequently pursues social activism as a way to make a difference in her community.
Malika does get in trouble on the show and faces jail time after participating in a Black Lives Matter protest. Malika also has a relationship with Isaac that becomes strained after she professes her feelings for her friend Dyonte. However, her optimism and strength help her to overcome her obstacles and make her a memorable character.
Gael
Gael is a sensitive character that cares for his friends. He is an artist trying to make a name for himself and showcase his talents while battling with his own insecurities. Gael's passion for making art that connects to people truly helps showcase his character's depth.
Gael begins a physical relationship with Callie after she moves into the Coterie and quickly develops intense feelings for her. The couple is passionate about the things they believe in but realize that their relationship is causing them to lose focus in their professional lives. Gael and Callie still have feelings for each other, however, and maintain a strong bond.
Alice
Alice Kwan is a stand-up comedian and the manager at the Coterie where the main cast lives. Alice seems to be outgoing when viewers first meet her but she does have difficulties in speaking her mind, especially when it comes to romantic partners. Alice is selfless and tries to do whatever she can to help others around her.
After Alice finds her comedic voice, she is chosen to join a comedy workshop. While doing the workshop, Alice realizes the horrible prejudices she and her comedic fellows endure in order to be taken seriously. She starts out not seeming phased by the racist comments of her mentor, but eventually stands up for herself and her group.
Mariana
Mariana is definitely one of the more outgoing characters in the series. She is confident in herself, but she can also go too far when trying to get her way. Mariana has maintained her outgoing personality since her time on The Fosters, which sometimes gets her in trouble.
She has an infectious personality but also has doubts within herself. Mariana loses a lot of confidence at the start of the series when she begins working for Speckulate and copes with it by impulsively shopping nonstop. She is now in a relationship with Evan, which complicates her work-life because he was her former boss and her current work team hates him.
Callie
Callie is a determined character with a pure heart. Ever since viewers first meet her on The Fosters, Callie has shown she is loyal, compassionate, and willing to fight for the underdog. Callie's character is not afraid to do the right thing, even if it costs her relationships, friendships, and jobs.
Callie's headstrong characteristics and her trusting nature make her a valuable ally for anyone in the series. However, Callie also pushes the people closest to her away in order to pursue what she thinks is right.
