Wayne Wayne (
Jared Keeso) is the leader of the "Hicks", regarded as "toughest guy in Letterkenny." Wayne is protective of his sister and his best friends Daryl and Squirrelly Dan. As a "good old boy," he has a strict code of ethics and manners, but he often gets into fights to protect the community, his friends, and his farm. Even his fighting is strictly ethical: he keeps the fights at the end of the laneway, and he never fights dirty. Wayne runs the small farm he and his sister live on, along with a produce stand on the property. He takes his work "chorin'" very seriously, sometimes too seriously to the concern of his friends. Wayne loves dogs and is not a fan of children. Wayne's love life is a major arc in the series, as season 1 sees him getting over his breakup with his high school sweetie Angie, who convinced him to give up fighting. He has an on-off casual relationship with Tanis beginning in season 2, eventually entering into a long-term relationship with Gail's cousin Rosie after arranging for their dogs to mate. At the Great Day for Thunder Bay party celebrating a visit by the Bay brothers, Wayne resists an invitation from Tanis for a tryst in the barn, and instead drives over to Rosie's. She informs him, however, that she plans to move to Vancouver to work in pit bull rescue, and the couple part ways amicably. Although Wayne and Tanis try having a romantic relationship, they realize they are not compatible. Season 5 ends with Wayne being introduced to a Québécois woman named Marie-Fred who is similarly unlucky in love. Wayne intends to propose marriage to Marie-Fred at the end of season 6. The actual proposal never occurs on screen. Later, at the end of season 7, Wayne catches Marie-Fred cheating on him with a Québécois man, ending the relationship for good. Season 8 sees Wayne and Rosie rekindle their relationship and they steadily date from Season 9 to Series 12, until the second to last episode "Stuck" in which Wayne and Rosie are talking about moving away from Letterkenny. This conversation is present for the entirety of the episode as all the other characters talk about aging and feeling stuck in their life at Letterkenny. During the call, the phone connection begins to break up as Rosie is traveling during the final "grass is greener" conversation. Rosie is saying to Wayne that she is "breaking up cowboy" as the connection is getting worse, however it appears to Wayne as "we are breaking up" in the terms of the relationship because they both see a future in different locations. Wayne is almost always seen in a tucked-in flannel shirt, jeans, and boots, always without a belt. He occasionally wears a turtleneck during the winter months, a clothing choice his companions consider questionable. He is usually seen with his arms crossed and eyes squinted, even when relaxing.
Daryl Daryl (
Nathan Dales), often referred to as
Dary, is a dairy farmer who has been best friends with Wayne since childhood. He is relatively taciturn, speaks in a monotone, and mispronounces words like "basket." Dary is almost constantly in his barn clothes (Though his casual wear consists of checkered shirts, jeans, and
cowboy boots), and has trouble communicating with women, leading to most romantic prospects fizzling out. He is often the butt of his friends' jokes. Nevertheless, he is shown to be quick-witted and intellectually curious, with a large vocabulary he can hurl at verbal opponents.
Katy Katy (
Michelle Mylett) is sister to Wayne. She is confident and well-respected in Letterkenny, although in early episodes she expresses disdain for Dan and especially Daryl. She likes to wear provocative clothing, explaining that covering up is "not my forte." Katy is bisexual and has had many partners throughout the series, including Reilly and Jonesy, and has shown interest in Bonnie McMurray and Mrs. McMurray. Season 8 sees Katy falling for Dierks, a good-looking but enigmatic American. He accepts her proposal to remain exclusive, but is caught cheating in the season finale. In season 9, a broken-hearted Katy decides to go "scorched earth," dating as many people as possible, before coming to the conclusion that no one in Letterkenny is dateable.
Squirrelly Dan "
Squirrelly"
Dan (
K. Trevor Wilson) is the hicks' storyteller with a tendency to append "-s" to singular words as his trademark, e.g. "That's what I appreciates about yous Ms. Katys." Despite this vocal tic, Dan is very intelligent, at one point explaining that "sushi" and "sashimi" are irregular plurals when others mis-pluralize them. In addition, he is very modern and open-minded, taking a women's studies class at a local community college and being open to
anal masturbation.
McMurray McMurray (
Dan Petronijevic) is another member of the agricultural community in Letterkenny and president of the Agricultural Hall. McMurray is of Scottish and Serbian descent, and he is a stereotypical "man's man" full of big talk and sexual machismo, despite wanting to be forward-thinking. He can be called on for any fight the hicks get into that Wayne and friends cannot personally resolve, but while Wayne gets along with him reasonably well most of the Letterkenny residents view him with scorn. McMurray speaks generally with a clenched jaw, so many of his words sound jumbled or slurred.
Mrs. McMurray Mrs. McMurray (
Melanie Scrofano) is McMurray's wife and his secretary at the Agricultural Hall. She is bisexual and a swinger, along with her husband, and often drinks
gin and tonics.
Gail Gail (
Lisa Codrington) is the owner of MoDean's (and later MoDean's II and MoD3ans). She is hypersexual and highly attracted to Wayne, regularly propositioning him to his mild discomfort. She is prone to occasional outbursts of swearing. She is the cousin of Rosie and Bradley.
