Frank Hardy:
Nearly nineteen now, Frank is a freshman at
Bayport
Community College
, where he is pursuing studies in Criminal Justice in preparation
for a career as a private investigator.
Tall, dark and handsome as ever, Frank is finding life after
high school a little more challenging – and definitely more
interesting! |
| Joe Hardy:
Seventeen until April, and now a senior at Bayport High,
blonde, blue-eyed Joe is intent on enjoying his last year of high
school before he embarks on college courses, an eventual degree, and
a career with Hardy and Sons Investigations. |

|
|

|
Laura Hardy:
Petite and lovely, blonde and blue-eyed like her younger son,
Laura continues to grace the Hardy household with her calming
presence; offering wit, humor, common sense and unmitigated love to
the three Hardy men.
|
| Fenton Hardy: A
crack private investigator, internationally famous for his
crime-solving abilities, Fenton is an older version of his son
Frank, being tall, dark, and good-looking. He is proud of his
sons’ sleuthing abilities, and is beginning to look forward to
them sharing the same career. Although he can appear aloof and
withdrawn at times, Fenton loves and cherishes his family dearly. |

 |
Vanessa Bender:
Joe’s tall, blonde girlfriend, whose intelligence and
expertise with computers and graphics is highly appreciated by her
friends. Cool and witty,
as quick with a wisecrack as Joe himself, Vanessa finds her life
more and more inextricably intertwined with the younger Hardy –
and she’s not objecting!
|
|
Megan Wright:
Megan is a 5’2” redhead with a winning smile and
beautiful turquoise-blue eyes, whom Frank meets his first week of
college. She first
approached the Hardys for help in solving a suspected murder –
that of her father. However,
the attraction between Megan and Frank Hardy was immediate, and a
business relationship rapidly became an emotional attachment; she
and Frank became a solid “couple” in short order.
Intelligent, with a warm, gentle personality, Megan brings
out the lover in Frank like no other girl has been able to do.

Phil Cohen: Now
attending college in New York, computer and electronics whiz Phil
comes home to Bayport whenever he can, and keeps his close ties to
Frank and Joe intact. Sandy-haired, brown-eyed Phil may be highly
intelligent, but that doesn’t mean he’s not a lot of fun!
Phil has a steady girlfriend, Allison Lewis, whom he met since he's
moved to New York. |
Allison Lewis: Allison, Phil Cohen's girlfriend, attends the Juilliard School of Music. She is an accomplished violinist, and plays in the New York Junior Symphony Orchestra. Allison is of medium height, with brown hair and green eyes.

Matt Eckersley: Matt is Phil's apartment-mate in New York. Age 23-24, he is about 5'8" and very thin, with long dark blonde hair, hazel-green eyes, and an enthusiastic smile which wins him friends quickly. Being taken into the Hardys' circle of friends is something Matt cherishes, and he has proven himself to be a welcome addition to the group. |
| Biff Hooper:
Big, blonde, muscular and good-looking, super-jock Biff is, as
always, eager and willing to assist the Hardys in their
endeavors. Biff has a steady girlfriend, Karen Kerr. |

|
Chet Morton:
Another good friend, Chet is enjoying his senior year at Bayport
High, and stands ready to help Frank and Joe whenever they need him.
Chet has found a steady girlfriend, Devon Marshand, who moved to
Bayport from Texas the previous year. |
|
Andrea Bender:
Tall and blonde and elegant, like her daughter, single-mom
Andrea is a computer animation artist who creates the Rex Rover
cartoon TV show. Although
she is slightly concerned over the things which Vanessa gets
involved with now, Andrea is quite understanding of her daughter’s
association with the Hardys. One
of these days, Andrea would like to meet someone to share her life
with, now that Vanessa is almost grown up.
|
 |
 |
Carolyn Wright:
Megan’s mother, recently widowed.
Carolyn is a slightly taller version of her lovely daughter,
with the same red hair and big eyes.
She works in the personnel department of Bayport Electric.
Quite logically, she has become close friends with Laura
Hardy and Andrea Bender.
