The friends and Fiancé's of the JAG characters play a significant role in understanding the series sub-plots. I haven't listed all of them because not all screen captures have been possible yet but I have tried to include those of significance. [I decided to include this category late in my gathering of JAG episode data - so they are less complete. More are added as I obtain them.]

Harm saved her from "Palmer" but she was killed by a deranged jealous wife of a patient.
Catherine Bell as Lt Diane Schonke
Looks identical to Mac. Met Harm at the Academy becoming as close as careers in aviation and cryptography would allow. After being sexually harassed & stalked, she was murdered by the XO on the Seahawk where she served with Bud Roberts. Mac's resemblance startled the killer so much he fell and was crushed between dock and battleship so Harm didn't need to shoot him.

Steven Culp as Clayton Webb
An enigmatic character as CIA special agent. Much of the time, at least at first, he would have spent on the "Bag Guy" list as he was always a "hurdle" that the "good guys" had to get around. However, he continually showed his integrity and helpfulness when it was most needed sort of a "reluctant companion." He developed a love interest with Mac who's ending has never actually been satisfactorily explained.
Ben Murphy as Lt. Col. John Farrow
Mac's CO with whom she had an affair prior to going to law school. They were seen by Mac's estranged husband Chris Ragel. He was with Mac when she accidentally shot and killed Ragel during a struggle with a gun.
Isabella Hofmann as Meredith Cavanaugh
A sometimes "brain-dead," un-realizingly clumsy to the extreme, professor of Shakespeare, who broke Chegwidden's rib and nearly killed Rabb before she became engaged to the admiral. Chegwidden walked in on her having an "affair" with another professor (apparantly a recurring theme in her life) which ended their engagement.
Laura Putney as Catherine Gale
CIA counsel who only reluctantly helped Harm in some cases but most of the time obstructed his efforts to obtain information from the CIA.

Meg Wittner as Chegwiddens Judge friend Laura DeLaney
Although not solidly established in the series Admiral Chegwidden aparantly became quite fond of the judge. He ran with her in the park and tried to break it off to protect her from someone trying to kill him. She was more controlling than he and defied him by going to his house where she was killed by a mine.
Erica Gimpel as Verese Chestnut
A well known (at least to Sturgis Turner) jazz singer who was part of Harriet's Christmas USO show in Baghdad. She and Sturgis seemed to hit if off well and, when last mentioned, had moved to DC in order to "see how it worked out" with him.
Significant Friends

She was able to escape from the crash of an incompetent pilot and later supported Harm in several missions and saved his life by "jumping his bones" when he was nearly frozen and unconscious.

Anne-Marie Johnson as Congresswoman Bobbi Leatham
Spends a lot of her time on the "Bad Guy" list but has occasionally relented and assisted Harm enough to be called a "friend" of sorts. She wanted to date Harm for awhile then she and Sturgis Turner were "An Item" for awhile but life differences made them incompatible.

He "straightened out" a "fractious, messed up" Chegwidden while serving on post-Vietnam war USS Farragut by trying to "knock some sense into him on the fantail." Killed by Craig Allenby a hunting guide but Chegwidden had to prove that it wasn't suicide. He aided Chegwidden's investigation by appearing in several dreams.
Mary Page Keller as Commander Beth O'Neil
A "shining star" female naval aviator who was charged with sexual harassment by a conceited Lieutenant who recieved a poor fitness report.

Thad Luckinbill as PO Moritz
The only known client to "fire" Harm. Upon recommendation of Lt Mark Gordon (who H got acquitted for clipping a cable in Italy) he selected Harm as defense but Harms heart wasn't in it and was doing a poor job. Harm eventually was moved to continue searching for an explanation and nearly killed himself flying with a vertiginous pilot who had killed his RIO and blamed it on Moritz.
Rudi Boesch as Himself
Admiral Chegwidden greeted him warmly as his old Sr instructor at BUDS. (really a runner-up contestant on "Survivor" who had a cameo part in JAG) He happened to be the REAL coffee drinker Chegwidden was trying to find and had just stopped in to say hello to AJ while he was doing book signings.

First his "modified" F14 in Cuba where Harm was assigned to rescue him in a lear jet ("smoked"); then, a "stealth" jet in the deserts of Iran and became a prisoner where Harm and Mac had to extract him ("The Black Jet").
Stephen McHattie as Gunnery Sgt. Ray Crockett
The Marines best sharpshooter who "burned out" on killing and had an agreement with his old COs to keep him doing training until discharged. His new CO wouldn't listen to him about the agreement so he took a shot at his jeep mirror, "to get his attention." He repeated the event using H as the target in "High Ground".
Jameson Parker as CIA director Harrison Kershaw
Probably, mostly a good guy; but, he never gave either Harm or Mac much more than grief, and only when they forced him to.
