Dave Teagues - John Dunsworth

 

Dave also runs the local newspaper with his brother who he lovingly bickers with. He is the more impulsive brother. Dave, like his brother, appears to be very open to Audrey and willing to help her in any way he can, even keeping the resurfacing of The Troubles quiet. He is also a photography enthusiast and a member of the local hunting club. In the later episodes of season 2, a conflict is growing between Dave and his brother over the Troubles, with Dave seeming to support using Duke's abilities to end them. In "Over My Head", it is revealed that along with his brother, he owns nearly half the commercial real estate in Haven, as well millions of dollars in off-shore bank accounts. He is also more inclined to keep things secret, clashing with his brother, who is more inclined to divulge information to support Audrey and others.

In Business as Usual and onwards, it is revealed that he knew Audrey as Sarah in the 1950s (the woman as his worst fear) and might have been in love with her. Vince, Dave and Sarah attempted to blow up the barn in 1955, but to no avail (Thanks for the Memories).
