Dylan Hinchey

Dylan Hinchey is a small-town teenager tangled in messy loyalties: father to Erin McMenamin's baby, now dating the volatile Brianna, and pulled into the fallout when Erin turns up dead. He is defensive and evasive under questioning, more scared kid than hardened liar, trying to protect what little stability he has left.

Jack Mulhern plays Dylan with the jittery, guarded posture of someone who knows he looks guilty and can't stop looking guiltier. The writing keeps him just sympathetic enough that his evasions read as panic rather than menace, and Mulhern never overplays it—he lets the audience do the suspecting.
