Dr. Cynthia Thornton is one of the recurring characters in Outer Banks. She is portrayed by Mary Rachel Quinn.
She is very wealthy; her "doctor" title suggests that she's a medical practitioner and/or academic, and Judge Holden is her father. She is the mother of Topper Thornton, a professional surfer on the OBX who is deeply-rooted in Kook social circles. She is hard on Topper and puts a lot of pressure on him to succeed in school, philanthropy and high society. When Topper's boat sinks because of its missing plug, she initially blames it on Topper being negligent, and after she is proven wrong by surveillance footage, she compensates for her embarrassment by making a point of pressing charges against Pope Heyward.
