Mark Richie

Mark Richie is the estranged ex-husband of Rita Freeman.

At some point before or after his and Rita's separation, Mark was imprisoned for sexually assaulting a teenage girl. In August 2014, he returned to the ED after having been released from prison and refused to have treatment unless he could speak to Rita who was in a meeting at the time. Many of the staff were shocked by the revelations as she had told them all that he was dead. Eventually, he left the ED after trying to get Rita back, but she said no.

In January 2015, Mark returned to the ED at the same time that Connie's daughter Grace went missing, leading her to the assumption that Mark was responsible. This caused her to take out her anger on Rita, even after it was proven that Mark wasn't responsible.
