• August (Peter Woodward) is an Observer. He was killed after going rogue against his fellow Observers in the season two episode "August".
• Ella Blake (Lily Pilblad / Emily Meade) is Rachel's daughter and Olivia's niece.
• Diane Broyles (Karen Holness) is Phillip Broyles' (ex-)wife, and the mother of his two children—a son named Christopher and a daughter. While in our universe, Diane has left Phillip because of his obsession with his work, in the parallel universe, the Broyles were still happily married until the alternate Phillip was killed.
• Sally Clark (Pascale Hutton) was one of the children that Walter and William Bell treated with Cortexiphan. She had the ability to create and control fire. Clark helped the Fringe team retrieve Peter from the parallel universe, but died after incinerating herself and the surrounding area.
• December (Eugene Lipinski) is an Observer. December is one of the original 12 observers who came to the Fringe team's era to observe and report back to The Observers in the future. December appears to be the de facto leader of the 12 Observers. As September becomes more and more involved in helping and assisting Walter, Peter, Olivia, and Astrid, December strongly voices his opinions against it. In 2036, September (now called Donald O'Connor) goes to Apartment #513 to meet December. September asks December to help him find a final piece of a machine to reset time so that Observers never invade. December travels to 2609 to retrieve the piece. Olivia and Astrid arrive at his apartment to attain it, but December is found dead, hung from the ceiling by the loyalists.
• Marilyn Dunham (Amy Madigan) is Olivia's mother. While dead for many years in our universe, she is alive and well in the parallel universe, maintaining a close relationship with Fauxlivia.
• Rachel Dunham (Ari Graynor) is Olivia's younger sister. She is the mother of Ella and resides with Olivia in a temporary living arrangement during season one, because of marriage difficulties. She seems to share a mutual attraction and several mutual interests with Peter Bishop which noticeably concerns her sister. However, following her moving out of Olivia's apartment in season two, nothing further develops between them. As of season three, Rachel has reconciled with her husband Greg, and lives with him in Chicago. The parallel universe version of Rachel died in child-birth along with her daughter. It is assumed that Alternate Rachel and Fauxlivia had a close bond.
• James Heath (Omar Metwally) was one of the children that Walter and William Bell treated with Cortexiphan. The experiments left him with the ability to exchange energy with other Cortexiphan subjects. His ability allowed him to help the Fringe Division to open a portal to the parallel universe at the end of season two. However, the energy needed for doing so drained him, leading to his death.
• Henry Higgins (Andre Royo) is a New York taxi driver in the parallel universe, becoming an ally in Olivia's struggle to get back to her original universe.
• Amy Jessup (Meghan Markle) is an FBI agent with the New York Field Office introduced in the first episode of Season 2. She quickly becomes interested in and involved with Fringe Division. She seems more open to the existence of extraordinary phenomena than most other outsiders to the group, though it is suggested at the end of the episode that this may come from a religious standpoint.
• Rebecca Kibner (played by Tegan Moss as a teenager, and Theresa Russell as an adult) is a former test subject of Walter's. When still a teenager she willingly subjected herself to hallucinogenics. During these experiments she got in contact with parallel dimension; and thus it was through Rebecca that Walter first learned about the parallel universe and some of its characteristics. Most notably she gained the ability to recognize shapeshifters. She apparently grew very fond of Walter, even sharing a kiss with him when they are reunited decades later.
• Nick Lane (David Call) was one of the children that Walter and William Bell treated with Cortexiphan. He was partnered with Olivia during his time being treated, and had the ability to make people around him share his emotions. After learning to control his power, he helped Olivia and Walter cross over to the other universe to save Peter. He was shot and killed by Lincoln Lee, who seemed to know the alternate Nick.
• Johan Lennox (Kenneth Tigar) is the warden of Wissenschaft Prison, the German correctional facility from where David Robert Jones escaped.
• Samantha Loeb (Trini Alvarado) is Mitchell Loeb's wife and partner in crime. She is killed in a gunfight with Olivia.
• Edward Markham (Clark Middleton) is a dealer of used books, and an old acquaintance of Peter's.
• Smith (Roger R. Cross) acts as the right hand man to the Shapeshifter and then to Thomas Jerome Newton. He is eventually shot dead by Olivia.
• Frank Stanton (Philip Winchester) is a virologist and Fauxlivia's ex-fiancé.
• "The Store Owner" (Stefan Arngrim) is the manager of the small Bronx typewriter shop. One of the store's back room hides one sole typewriter, through which parallel universe agents and shapeshifters communicate with their own dimension. Years prior to Olivia joining the Fringe division, the owner had been promised to have his injured legs healed in exchange for letting the alternate agents use his store. After Fauxlivia returns to the alternate universe, an alternate agent known as "the Librarian" finally injects the store owner with a fluid, effectively healing him.
• Senator James Van Horn (Gerard Plunkett) oversees the Fringe team's work on behalf of Washington. When in a car accident, he is discovered to be a shapeshifter, and to have been so since before Olivia joined the team. It's discovered that he has been supplying "the other side" with information about the team all along. Attempts to reactivate his memories, in order to get more information on the over-all plan of the shapeshifters and the alternate Walter, fails.
• Carla Warren (Jenni Blong) was Walter's lab assistant. She died in a fire, which resulted in Walter being sent to a mental hospital. She returned as one of Walter's hallucinations in Black Blotter.
• Canaan A prototype shapeshifter created by David Robert Jones and abandoned when he turned out flawed. Unlike the current shapeshifters he must periodically absorb DNA to survive making him a form of DNA vampire. Helped the Fringe division track down Jones's base and was taken over to the prime universe to be examined by Walter to undo the damage Jones caused.
