**Jason 'JD' Dean** is one of the main protagonists in the first season of *Heathers*. He is the new boy in town with a dark side and sets out on a reckless path of destruction proving that no one, not even his girlfriend Veronica is safe.

He is portrayed by James Scully.

## Biography

One night when JD was nine years old, he arrived home with his dad to find their house on fire. While his dad ran into the house to investigate, JD remained safely in the car and witnessed his mom in an upstairs window wave goodbye to him before shooting herself in the head with a gun. Growing up he moved around several times with his dad; they moved from Sherwood to Alaska and later Baton Rouge before moving back to Sherwood when he was seventeen. (Pilot)

After transferring to Westerburg High School, he met Veronica Sawyer who shared his dislike of The Heathers. Later that night he took her to Snappy Snack Shack to make up for the bad time Veronica had at party with Heather Chandler earlier in the evening. On the way home, he took her to the Heather Chandler's house to play a prank on Heather. The prank backfired, however, resulting in Heather's accidental death. JD and Veronica decided to cover their tracks by framing Heather's death as a suicide. Unknown to them however, Heather survived. (Pilot)

Heather then used the botched prank as leverage to blackmail Veronica and JD into doing her bidding until she was ready to return to school as the new 'face of suicide'. (She's Going to Cry)

Fed up with JD's brooding nonchalance, Veronica went on a double date with Heather Duke and two handsome football players. When Ram Sweeney surprised Veronica with a romantic second date at Butcher's Bridge, JD tried to win her back by killing Ram to prove his love for her. (Date Rapes and AIDS Jokes)

JD and Veronica then became completely infatuated with each other, and he gifted Veronica his mother's red scrunchie for her eighteenth birthday. Meanwhile, Betty Finn had some suspicions linking Veronica to an unsolved murder. She shared her suspicions with JD, fearing that he might be in danger. JD played along, luring her to Butcher's Bridge at night so he could get rid of her. However, he underestimated Betty's strength and she successfully fought him off and called the police. Veronica picked JD up, unhappy with how he handled the situation, and crashed her car to provide them both with an alibi for the evening. (Our Love is God)
