Annie was mentioned in the pilot when the President explained that in an interview for a teen magazine his twelve year old grand-daughter had expressed her views on a woman's right to choose.

Answer: Morris Tolliver

Answer: Charlie Young

Charlie, when being interviewed by Josh, said that his mother was a police officer who had been shot and killed on duty a few months before. The President later told Charlie that his mother had been killed by a Western .38 Revolver and that they were going to try to get that particular weapon banned. As a result, Charlie became personal aide to the President.

Answer: Steffi Graf

When the President made a substitution in a basketball game with his staff, Toby reminded him that, when playing tennis with himself and C.J., the President tried to tell them that his partner worked at the American Consulate in Vienna. The President admitted that she did bear a striking resemblance to Steffi Graf. Toby's reply was 'It was Steffi Graf, you crazy lunatic! You think I'm not gonna recognize Steffi Graf when she's serving a tennis ball at me?'

Answer: Big Sky

Sam wanted to swallow the rider for the sake of the Bill, but Josh and Toby proposed a veto to show the Banking Committee that they refused to be held hostage by two members.

Answer: Andrew and Simon

Mrs Landingham told Charlie about her twin sons who had been medical students when their lottery numbers came up for the draft.

Answer: Lowell Lydell

Lowell Lydell, a seventeen year-old gay student, was beaten to death with sticks and bottles. CJ was concerned about his parents being invited to the signing of a hate-crimes bill because she thought that his father was embarrassed about his son being gay.

She then discovered that Mr Lydell, far from being embarrassed about his son, was furious about the administration's weak position on gay rights.

Answer: Simon Cruz

Cruz had killed two drug kingpins, his appeal for a stay of execution had been denied and his lawyers were appealing to the White House for a stay of execution. The President battled with his conscience about this, but in the end had to let the judicial decision stand and allow the death sentence to be carried out.

Answer: Ehrlich had been Abbey's boyfriend over thirty years earlier

The President harboured a long jealousy that Ron Ehrlich had once been Abbey's boyfriend. When Abbey publicly declared a preference for Ehrlich as the new Fed chair, Jed was furious. He told her that if he now named Ehrlich, it would look as if he was taking instructions from his wife. This was part of what Jed called their 'first Oval Office fight.'

Answer: David

Dr David Ziegler was a payload specialist aboard a space shuttle which hadn't landed on schedule because one of the payload bays would not close. During the President's speech at the Newseum in Rosslyn, Sam received a message from NASA that the shuttle was returning safely and made a signal to Toby to indicate that everything was fine.
