Dan Gordon: portrayed by Greg Vaughan (1999-2000)
The mortal next-door neighbor who was attracted to Piper Halliwell. He and his niece Jenny lived next door to the Halliwell Sisters. He used to play third base for the Seattle Mariners baseball team until he blew out his knee sliding home, then worked in construction. While Dan never discovered the sisters' secret, he noticed the oddity of the girls' lives and often suspected that they were hiding something. While Piper had been attracted to Dan since he became their neighbor, she decided to date him instead of Leo because the relationship seemed much less complicated than the on-again, off-again relationship she had with Leo. However, Piper's sudden unexplained disappearances and avoidance of his questions drove Dan crazy and made him feel insecure in their relationship. He also always felt threatened by Leo, because even though Piper did not see him often, he knew that they had been serious and that Piper still cared for him. Dan felt as though he was simply "geographically desirable" and that that was the basis of the entire relationship. Piper finally broke up with Dan after she realized that despite loving Dan, she loved Leo more. Dan also became very suspicious of Leo and even asked his brother-in-law who worked for the state department to check Leo's army records. When his brother-in-law discovered that Leo had been a soldier in World War II and had died in the war, Dan presented the information to Leo and finally to Piper. Dan moved away to Portland, Oregon when he was offered a job there, deciding that it was time for him to get on with his life.
Dan's past life in the 1920's was as Gordon Johnson, husband of P. Baxter and great-grandfather of the Halliwell sisters.

[edit] Jenny Gordon
Jenny Gordon: portrayed by Karis Paige Bryant (1999)
Jenny is the niece of Dan Gordon and next-door neighbor, and friend, of the Halliwell Sisters. Her parents were busy re-locating to a new home for their work and asked Dan to care for her until they were settled in. She was known to come to Piper, Phoebe and Prue for female advice when she was too embarrassed to talk to Dan. She only appeared in few episodes, and in the end, she did not serve any major purpose in any of the plotlines. She was then written to live with her parents again.
