Portrayed by: Søren Spanning
Prime Minister, Moderate Party Leader. Bitter over his defeat, Hesselboe despises Birgitte. The two-faced politician praises her in front of her face and badmouths her behind her back.
Press advisor to the Moderate Party (a.k.a. Birgitte's spin doctor), Katrine's ex-boyfriend. Hesselboe never displays his ill will toward Kasper, but undoubtedly hates him for ruining his political career.
Express Editor-in-Chief, former Labor Party Leader. Hesselboe has many enemies and Laugesen is at the top of the list. He publicly humiliated him during the PM debate by confronting him with the receipts of his reckless spending.
New Right Leader. Yvonne's been at his beck and call for the last six years. She decides to finally think for herself and not consult with him when approving Birgitte's budget.
