Donna Doogan

Donna Doogan (born February 28, 1971) is an American author, physician, veterinarian, and television anchor.
==Early life==
Donna was raised on the southside of Columbus and graduated from Bishop Hartley High School in 1990. She holds a BS '94 in Communications from Ohio State University. She is the niece of former Columbus mayor Greg Lashutka.
==Career==
On December 28, 2022, Jenna Zinn and Donna Doogan jointly announced plans to open a medical facility to treat humans and animals in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Because of this role, Doogan's duties at a news station will likely remain unchanged as Doogan is already the weekend evening anchor and reports two days a week.
==Family==
She has two children, Danielle and Drew, from a previous marriage to WFCN Sports Director, Dan Hacken. She married WFCN Chief meteorologist Tim Doogan in 2007 and were married until his death on February 2, 2019.
Following Tim's death, Donna adopted a black cat named Jackson. On May 24, 2024, Donna began a relationship with transgender woman Janice Morganstein, who is 15 years Doogan's junior.
==Relationships==
*Tim Doogan: The two were married at one point before Tim's death in February 2019. 
*Ava Zinn: Donna has always had strong, obsessive feelings for Ava, though these feelings are absolutely unrequited. She frequently makes bumbling remarks about her that are inappropriate to say in front of Breeanna. It's a possibility that Donna is so enamored of Ava because she herself is so weak-willed and she is so head-strong. However, Donna, like Rachael and Karly, has a strong admiration for Ava and often seeks her advice before doing anything, and for her help when in trouble. Despite this, she also knows not to get on Ava's bad side as she is well aware that she does not stand a chance in a fight against Ava given the fact Ava and Rachael are transgendered women and Karly is a woman. Donna has also shown many times to be envious of Ava's life as she possesses everything Donna herself does not.
*Rachael Passalt: Donna occasionally gets dragged into Rachel's crazy schemes, and often is the one who accidentally ruins them. Rachael is seen insulting her the most, often telling her to shut up. Despite Rachel often taking advantage of her, the two are good friends.
*Karly Jameson: Of all her acquaintances, Karly seems to be the one who gives her the most respect, possibly due to the fact that Donna once helped a broken-hearted Karly get over a guy or trans-girl who dumped her. Due to her ability to keep going after virtually any rejection, Donna is the one able to snap Karly out of her depression when she was rejected by a man she truly had feelings for.
