<Li> J.D. Pollack (Charles Mesure): A sometimes oily Australian reporter, he dated Jordan early in season five . Their relationship, which had at first been primarily sexual, got serious enough that J.D. considered proposing, but things were off after Jordan slept with Woody in the episode "Loves Me Not". J.D. was found murdered at the end of season five, and Jordan, falsely accused of his murder, sought to clear his name at the start of season six . </Li> <Li> William Ivers (Jeffrey Donovan): A creepily charming attorney, he was hired in season six by the governor's office to investigate any questionable behavior within the morgue, aiming directly at Macy, although Jordan was a brief potential suspect . He disappointingly finds nothing wrong and later targets the morgue's current spending as an open door to major disaster, enforcing a new, strict budget depriving the morgue of much - needed equipment . This loss causes many problems in two important cases ("Night of The Living Dead" and especially "Isolation"), with the latter resulting in the new budget being revoked and Ivers' exit . He briefly returns in "Dead Again", teaming with Jordan when a woman presumed murdered from a case Ivers had been prosecuting attorney 6 years prior somehow ends up dead in the morgue . </Li> <Li> Det . Lois Carver (Amy Aquino): A no - nonsense detective seen throughout season one, she does not appear as frequently in season two, is not seen at all in season three, and only appears in two season - four episodes, "Deja Past" and "Necessary Risks". </Li> <Li> Det . Eddie Winslow (D.W. Moffett): This detective first appeared in early season one, and tension clearly existed between Jordan and him . Gradually, audiences found out why: Winslow was Max Cavanaugh's last partner on the force, who "ratted him out", leading to Max being fired from the Boston Police Department . Eventually, both Max and Jordan made their peace with Eddie, and he was well - situated to become a strong character . Then, his appearances tapered off near the end of season one . </Li>
