Marcus Baker is a main character in the Netflix television series Ginny & Georgia.
Created by Sarah Lampert, Ginny and Georgia is an American comedy/drama series that premiered in February 2021 and has been renewed for a third season. The series revolves around Georgia Miller and her children, Ginny and Austin Miller, as they settle down in a new town with hopes of a fresh start. However, the series tends to veer more towards drama than comedy as Georgia’s past is darker than it seems and layered with a history of lies, survival tactics, and secrets that slowly start to unravel as the series rolls along the way.
Who is Marcus from Ginny and Georgia?
Marcus Baker is one of the several main characters from Ginny and Georgia, and is considered to be Ginny’s love interest over the course of the series. Their neighbour from across the road, Marcus is also Maxine’s twin brother, which further complicates things when Ginny and Marcus start falling for each other. However, Marcus isn’t the typical boy-next-door character as he struggles with depression and uses sarcasm and detachment to mask it, and as the series progresses, things get worse. So much so that his parents, Ellen and Clint, restarted his medication in season 2.
During season 1, it is also revealed that a major cause is that his best friend passed away before the series began. However, as the series goes on, his relationship with Ginny also progresses, and the two eventually become a couple in season 2.
