Spoiler Alert: This list contains spoilers for Dutton Ranch Season 1, Episode 7.Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) are about to break new ground in Dutton Ranch. It’s been some time since the ***Yellowstone ***finale, and a lot has changed for the pair. With nothing to their names except a newly purchased ranch in Rio Paloma, Texas, they set out to start fresh alongside their adopted son, Carter (Finn Little). But not everyone is thrilled by their arrival, especially Beulah Jackson (Annette Bening) of the 10 Petal Ranch.
While there’s no harm in a little friendly business competition, the two ranch matriarchs quickly find themselves keeping a close eye on one another. With a new town, new neighbors, and new problems, here are the best characters from Dutton Ranch, ranked.
The youngest son of Beulah Jackson, Rob-Will (Jai Courtney) is the black sheep of the family. His substance abuse not only renders him unfit to run the 10 Petal Ranch, but also costs the life of fellow ranch hand, Wes Ayers (Nakao DeCoite). Worse still, he thinks it’s a good idea to dump the body on the Dutton Ranch.
Instead of punishing him, Beulah “babies” him by sending him to a rehab center for months. Although Beulah only wants to protect the family name, Rob-Will doesn’t learn from his actions. Considering Rob-Will is Beulah’s biological son, he thinks the ranch easily falls on his lap — when in reality, he’s just scum.
Beth once compared Joaquin Jackson (Juan Pablo Raba) to her late brother, Jamie Dutton (Wes Bentley) — which, considering Beth and Jamie’s history, isn’t a good sign. Just like Jamie, Joaquin is Beulah’s adopted, eldest son. Unlike the reckless Rob-Will, Joaquin is the 10 Petal Ranch’s manager and “fixer.”
Being a “fixer” on the ranch is one of the most obnoxious professions there. Joaquin tends to see his workers as less than human. There might be problematic individuals on the ranch, but Joaquin thinks he can buy their silence to prevent them from revolting. But if there’s one thing about the working class, it’s that they have a lot more dignity than Joaquin expects.
Beulah is the ranch queen of Rio Palmo, Texas. When she gets wind of Beth and Rip starting a ranch on her territory, she’s wary of her new business rivals. However, for all of Beulah’s competitiveness, she’s not the type to actively sabotage the Duttons (yet). However, she has their secrets, just in case.
Mid-season, audiences learn that Beulah and Beth are very much alike. Rip comments that the two share the same tenacity, while Beulah admits that watching Beth negotiate with an investor is like watching herself 20 years ago. It’s obvious that Beulah holds a lot of respect for Beth, which is why she’s not afraid to test her business aptitude.
Not everyone is a proud Jackson, especially Beulah’s granddaughter, Oreana (Natalie Alyn Lind). At first glance, she looks like the popular girl at school, complete with an awesome car and a boyfriend. But back at home, she’s under constant pressure to become the sole heir to the 10 Petal Ranch — a destiny she absolutely abhors.
The fiery teenager may have initially toyed with Carter’s feelings by tricking him into buying beer, but she genuinely cares about him and eventually makes amends. She’s certainly much tougher than Carter, a trait that even Beth is mildly impressed by despite her family roots. But when Carter breaks down, Oreana quickly opens her arms to comfort him.
The show that claimed the most of your answers is the world you were built for. If two tied, both are shown — you’re complicated enough to straddle two Sheridan universes.
You are a Dutton — or you might as well be. You understand that some things are worth protecting at any cost, and that the modern world’s indifference to history, to land, to legacy, is not something you’re willing to accept quietly. You lead from the front, you carry your family’s weight without complaint, and when someone threatens what’s yours, you don’t escalate — you finish it. You’re not cruel. But you are absolute. In Yellowstone’s world, that combination of ferocity and loyalty doesn’t make you a villain. It makes you the only thing standing between everything that matters and everyone who wants to take it.
You thrive in the chaos of high-stakes negotiation, where the money is enormous, the margins are thin, and the wrong word in the wrong room can cost everyone everything. You’re a fixer — the person called when a situation is already on fire and needs someone with the nerve to walk into it. West Texas oil country rewards exactly what you are: sharp, adaptable, unsentimental, and absolutely clear-eyed about what people want and what they’ll do to get it. You’re not naive enough to think this world is fair. You’re smart enough to be the one deciding who it’s fair to.
You are a Dwight Manfredi — someone who has served their time, paid their dues, and arrived somewhere unexpected with nothing but their reputation and their wits. You adapt without losing yourself. You build loyalty through respect rather than fear, though you’re not above reminding people that the two aren’t mutually exclusive. Tulsa King is for people who are still standing when everyone assumed they’d be finished — who find, in an unfamiliar place, that they’re more capable than the world gave them credit for. You don’t need a throne. You build one, wherever you happen to land.
You carry the weight of a system that is broken by design, and you do it anyway — because someone has to, and because you’re the only one positioned to do it without the whole thing collapsing. Mike McLusky’s world is for people who are comfortable operating where there are no good options, only less catastrophic ones. You speak every language: law enforcement, criminal, political, human. That fluency makes you invaluable and it makes you a target. You’ve made your peace with both. Mayor of Kingstown belongs to people who understand that keeping the peace is not the same as being at peace — and who do the job regardless.
Although his time on Dutton Ranch is only brief, Dwight White (Ray McKinnon) clearly knows how to make his mark. After an upset Carter goes against his parents’ wishes and skips school, he stumbles upon White looking for a job. Carter may not have the sharpest of skills, but White takes an immediate liking to the young boy.
Apart from keeping a leopard on his “farm” (which is clearly illegal), unbeknownst to Carter, White has an extensive criminal history. But with his simple yet sage advice, his love for the simple life, and his nature as a cowboy through and through, he’s helped Carter find himself in the short time they knew each other.
Every cowboy has his own secrets, including new ranch hand Zachariah Moss (Marc Menchaca). Rip usually has a good eye for new hires, and when he spots the devout Zachariah in need of a job, he’s more than happy to bring him on. What Rip doesn’t realize is that Zachariah is carrying baggage that the entire ranch will eventually witness midway through the season.
Zachariah may be a good man now, but his past is just as dangerous as it is complicated. Although he can’t change what happened, he has vowed to spend the rest of his life making amends. As a testament to his character, Beth once told him that her father would have liked Zachariah.
It’s hard to go to high school, especially when you’re a few years older than your peers. All Beth and Rip want for their adopted son, Carter, is a normal life in Rio Paloma. That includes sending the 19-year-old back to high school, where he quickly becomes the black sheep of the student body.
Although Carter comes from two former hell-raising parents, the young man** **is quite soft-spoken and naive. He’s under the impression that he belongs solely to ranch life. While that may be true, it doesn’t hurt for him to get an education. With Beth and Rip’s guidance, he has years ahead of him to learn how to tend the ranch.
Rip is just as strict, reliable, and hardworking as he is in Yellowstone. This time, alongside Beth, he’s trying to break out of his mold as the former right-hand man to John Dutton (Kevin Costner). He may have strong leadership skills, but carving out a ranch of his own is still a daunting task.
The great thing about Rip is that he’s willing to adapt when necessary. Nobody said that starting a ranch in unfamiliar territory would be easy. When financial struggles hit, he’s willing to extend a hand to the competition, even becoming Beulah’s foreman on her ranch. Whatever job he’s given, he’ll do it well.
Beth has come a long way from the insanity that is the *Yellowstone *finale. After losing everything her family has built in Montana, she’s finally come to terms that some things are just out of her control — and that’s okay. What’s more important is that her husband Rip and her son Carter are now safely relocated to Texas.
Unlike her past domineering self, Beth is unafraid of showing her vulnerable side to Rip. But old habits die hard. Despite her softened heart,** Beth** still knows how to command a room whenever needed. If that means having to take out collateral in the middle of the night — *Yellowstone *style — so be it.
Calm, cool, and composed, veteran Everett McKinney (Ed Harris) is unlike anyone Beth has ever met. Being raised in a volatile environment has left Beth with trust issues when it comes to meeting strangers. But when she pleads with Everett to save an injured horse instead of euthanizing it, she instantly senses his innate kindness.
Everett is the kind of old man whom anyone would regard as their safe space. Whether it’s the Duttons or the Jacksons, he allows people to confide in him without judgment. Although he’s more than willing to lend a listening ear, he’s also great at offering wise advice when the occasion calls for it.
