Edmund Driscoll - Stephen McHattie

 

Edmund Driscoll, commonly called "the Rev", was the former husband of Penny Driscoll, the father of Hannah Driscoll, and the foster grandfather of Bobby Mueller. He was a resident of Haven, Maine, and a preacher at The Good Shepherd Church.

In May of 1994, he forbid his daughter to attend her high school prom with Nathan Wuornos, though Hannah defied his wishes of her father. His dislike of Nathan however seems to spring from before this point.

Following his wife's death and prior to 2009, he frequented the Rust Bucket, and was a heavy drinker. In 2009, he took in a recently-orphaned boy, and Ed's daughter Hannah became the boy's de facto foster mother.
