Molly Dunn

Molly Dun is a character in San Andreas Quake, played by Jhey Castles. She is a seismologist and professor at Pacific Coast College. She is the wife of Hank and the step-mother of Ali.

Biography
Molly had an interest in natural science from a young age. After her father died in an earthquake, she became very interested in learning how to predict them to keep other people safe. In 2008, she wrongly predicted a large earthquake and became infamous for "crying wolf." However, she continued to work as a seismologist and began teaching classes at a college.

After continuing to try and perfect the art of predicting earthquakes despite being seen as somewhat of a fraud, Molly got confirmation through her sensors that an extremely large quake was coming to the San Andreas Fault. She began trying to convince other people so that they would leave the city and become safe, but no one truly believed her until a string of earthquakes hit, becoming gradually stronger.

Molly and her husband Hank came up with a plan to rescue their daughter Ali at her workplace, a local hotel. Molly would meet up there with Ali, and then Hank would come on his helicopter to take them both away. Molly teamed up with one of her students, Nick, to make it to the hotel.

After making it through many dangers along the way, including a collapsed tunnel underground that nearly suffocated her and Nick, Molly makes it to the hotel with him. They eventually make it to the top of the building alongside Ali and are rescued by Hank.

Personality & Relationships
Molly is very obsessed with earthquakes because of her fear that they will kill more loved ones. She can be a bit scatter-brained and occasionally makes rash decisions, like when she lied about Nick having a gun to make people leave the café when they didn't believe her about the earthquake, even though that could have put Nick at great risk.

Ali
Molly loves her step-daughter dearly and wishes that Ali would see her as a new mother to her instead of calling her by her first name and remaining distant. Molly's love tends to take the form of controlling Ali in the hopes of keeping her safe and well. She desperately wants to make Ali go back to college and finish her degree and does not approve of her plan to move to New York. Through their hardships, however, Molly grows more lenient towards Ali when she realizes that Ali just wants to follow her dreams.

Nick
Molly starts out with a negative opinion of Nick, seeing him as a know-it-all who begs for better grades in her class and also a player when it comes to girls. She initially disproves greatly when she learns that Nick is Ali's boyfriend, but slowly warms up to him after she sees how much he cares about her.
