Theodore "Theo" Merton Jr. is Luc's brainy and pessimistic best friend. He and Luc are the only two people not to be affected by the loop. He is voiced by Kevin Duhaney.
Biography[]
Theo is fearful, cautious, and studious. Unlike his friend Luc, who is adventurous, Theo will try to analyze all possible options before making a decision. He always wants an answer and a scientific explanation of what happens in the Loop.
Appearance[]
He is a 12-year-old African American boy with a thin body, curly black hair and brown eyes. He wears black glasses, a green t-shirt with a radioactive symbol on the front, a pale yellow shirt with elbow-length sleeves that he wears underneath his t-shirt, olive green pants and red and white trainers. He's slightly taller than Luc.
Personality[]
Theo is a pessimistic, phlegmatic boy who is geeky and nerdy. He is not always on board with Luc's ideas because he doesn't just rush through things. He knows the logical explanation for pretty much anything that goes on in the loop. Furthermore knows a lot of events about the day they're looped through, backwards and forwards.
Relationships[]
Luc Maxwell[]
Luc and Theo are best friends and the only two with knowledge of the loop. They have fun, get into trouble, and take advantage of the loop together. Theo is the voice of reason to Luc, though it usually takes a while before he realizes when he's taking it too far.
Gwyn Sanders[]
Theo loves Gwyn with all his heart, but she does not return the favor. Throughout the series, it shows that Gwyn is Theo’s secret crush, but Gwyn is not attracted by him and instead finds Theo repulsive and avoids him by all means. To add insult to injury, she's also madly in love with his best friend, Luc.
Jesse[]
Jesse bullies Theo every day (aside from just the repeating Monday), by putting him in a wooden box and farting into it.
Trivia[]
- Theo mentions in one episode that he and Luc are 12. Because of the way the school system works in Canada, Theo should be turning 13 before the year is over, which means that Theo's birthday is logically Oct. 14-Dec. 31.
- It is reasonable to assume that the Monday 12th loop day takes place in 2015, meaning that Theo and everyone in his grade were born in 2002.
- Theo has a single father, named Theo Merton Sr., who only appeared in the episode "Badmerton to the Bone"
- He and Luc's phones match their respective shirt colors. Theo's phone and shirt are green.
- His name is Theo Zweistein in the German dub.
- In "All Things being Sequel" he's erroneously called Theo Matthews.
- His voice actor also voices Cameron from Total Drama.
