Haven needs a doctor, and Dr. Charlotte Cross will fill the vacancy.

Nathan & Duke To Face 'Unexpected Consequences' From Talking To Audrey On 'Haven'

Portrayed by Laura Mennell and Prevention (CDC), Cross will first appear in episode 8, "Exposure," according to TV Line. Cross is an epidemiologist from the Center For Disease Control, and the strange happenings in Haven won't sit well with her scientifically minded views.

Unfortunately for the good doctor, Dwight (Adam Copeland) will be busy making sure she doesn't find out about the Troubles. Instead, she will believe that Haven could be a hotbed for some sort of major outbreak - and no, it's not Ebola. Cross will start to dig into the genetics of the supernaturally afflicted hamlet, and she will soon uncover a genetic marker shared only by the Troubled.

Although the newbie will be introduced in episode 8 - probably as the "outside help" Audrey brings in as she is no longer immune to the Troubles - it won't be until episode 9 that viewers really get to know the character.

"You want to look forward to it because it really introduces in a big way a new character to our series," said writer Speed Weed, according to Revisiting Haven.
