Romeo
Romeo speaks in scenes 1 and 2 of Act 1 but we don't hear Juliet until scene 3.
Early in the play, Romeo and Juliet meet at the Capulet's party and they both fall in love at first sight.
The Prologue, then Sampson, then Gregory.
Juliet tells the nurse about Romeo in order to send her as a messenger the day after the party. This happens offstage so we don't see how the nurse reacts. From the nurse's behaviour when she meets with Romeo it is clear that she is suspicious, because she warns Romeo not to take advantage of Juliet's youth and inexperience. However, Romeo wins her over, and she subsequently praises him to Juliet.
