5	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/emea_glc_cc_char_teddy_1.png]]
6	->'''Portrayed by:''' Music/BridgitMendler
7	A 15-year old high school sophomore and, until the new arrival, the middle child of the family. She records a series of video diaries for her baby sister for when she's older, which form a substantial portion of the show's narrative (and [[TitleDrop where the title comes from]]). She cares a great deal for her family, even if she isn't great at expressing her affection for some of them, and has a special attachment to her baby sister, Charlie. So far, she appears to be a good student, and is obsessed with most of the things typical of girls her age, preeminently boys.
8	----
9	* AloofBigSister: Most of the times, she's not very close to Gabe, though they have their bonding moments.
10	* TheBGrade: In the episode "Teddy's Little Helper", Teddy uses Charlie to help her get out of the [[SarcasmMode abomination]] of getting a B in English class on her progress report. HilarityEnsues.
11	* BeingGoodSucks: At least, that's how she feels in regards to her reputation as a "goody-goody."
12	%%* BigSisterInstinct
13	%%* CaptainsLog: Her video diaries.
14	* ButtMonkey: Often gets this role from time to time.
15	* CatchPhrase: "Good luck, Charlie", though it's frequently [[BorrowedCatchphrase borrowed]]. [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] in "Future Drama":
16	-->'''Future Charlie:''' ''(after her attempt at following Teddy's advice has failed)'' I really have to watch these things to the very end. It's not over until she says...\
17	'''Teddy:''' ''(on the computer screen)'' Good luck, Charlie.
18	* CoolBigSis: To Charlie, to the point she makes a video diary just for her.
19	* CuteClumsyGirl: At least, she's clumsy when she tries to play volleyball.
20	%%* DeadpanSnarker
21	* DudeMagnet: She's well aware that many boys find her attractive. This becomes a plot point in several episodes, such as "Teddy Rebounds".
22	* FollowInMyFootsteps: Amy pushes Teddy to try to be the school mascot, purely because she was the mascot when she was a student. Amy also pushes Teddy to wear her old prom dress to Prom. Teddy then hides a prom dress in the bushes so she is able to wear a prom dress more fitting of her style.
23	* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Compared to both her brothers, PJ and Gabe, she's more the more responsible one. She is the wisest and most responsible of the Duncan kids.
24	* GenderBlenderName: {{Lampshade\|Hanging}}d in "Take Mel Out to the Ballgame":
25	-->'''Mel:''' Teddy? Charlie? Doesn't your dad know any girl names?
26	* GoGetterGirl: She's determined to get good grades, thinks getting a B is bad, and even joins the volleyball team to pad her college resume, even though she stinks at it.
27	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: In-universe, [[InformedAttribute she's considered to be this to a fault.]]
28	* InformedAttribute: Teddy being a goody two shoes [[DependingOnTheWriter in some episodes]].
29	* MatureYoungerSibling: She's this to her older brother, P.J., being the wisest and most responsible of the Duncan siblings. While P.J. is much less of [[ThePrankster a troublemaker]] than their younger brother, Gabe is, P.J. is far more [[DumbassTeenageSon immature and airheaded]] than Teddy is, and far more careless than both Teddy and Gabe.
30	* MsFanservice
31	* MysteriousMiddleInitial: Teddy's middle initial is R. It hasn't been stated what the R stands for.
32	* NiceGirl: While her InUniverse reputation as a "goody-goody" is definitely a stretch (seriously, she can be quite rebellious and defiant when the script calls for it), she's proven to be the 2nd nicest character in the show (after PJ), and is always there for her friends and family, even if it means self-sacrifice
33	* OfficialCouple:
34	** With Spencer, as of "Charlie Goes Viral", [[spoiler:and up until "Girl Bites Dog". Restarted in "Can You Keep a Secret?", up until "All Fall Down"]]
35	** [[spoiler:With Beau as of "Teddy's New Beau", until "Bob's Beau-Be-Gone".]]
36	* TomboyishName: She has a boyish name like her sister Charlie.
37	%%* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Noted by Uncle Mel.

40	[[folder: Amy Duncan]]
41	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/emea_glc_cc_char_amy_1.png]]
42	->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/LeighAllynBaker
43	The 30-something mother of the Duncan family, who works as a nurse at a hospital. The main source of the show's humor and drama is the rest of the family's often-misguided attempts to help take care of the baby as Amy returns to work. She seems like the OnlySaneMan but her [[SmallNameBigEgo ego]] and SpotlightStealingSquad mentality keeps her from this.
44	----
45	* AttentionWhore: Loves being in the spotlight. She once hired a fake family to perform a musical number with her onstage because her real family lacked the finesse (and dedication).
46	* {{Catchphrase}}: "Ba-Bam!"
47	* CompetitionFreak: Often getting overly competitive, even over trivial things.
48	%%* DeadpanSnarker
49	* EveryoneHasStandards: She may have an ego so big, she'll betray her own family to get in the spotlight, but she is (usually) very loving and protective of Charlie, to the point Charlie is the only family member she doesn't replace with a professional performer before appearing in a talent show.
50	* {{Flanderization}}: Originally she played the role of OnlySaneWoman and just occasionally thought of herself as very good at something (like being her school mascot, even her coach agreed she was a great mascot), but by the end of Season 1 it turned into a case of SmallNameBigEgo.
51	* FriendlyRivalry: Her relationship with Mary Lou, Ivy's mom. Also starts developing one with Debbie Dooley.
52	* HappilyMarried: She and Bob are in a happy marriage.
53	* HighSchoolSweethearts: With Bob. Bob played basketball; Amy was the mascot.
54	* HospitalHottie: She's an attractive nurse.
55	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With Bob. She's much shorter than her husband.
56	* IronicName: The name Amy means "beloved", yet Amy rubs nearly every character the wrong way on numerous occasions. See YMMV for [[TheScrappy another reason]] behind the irony.
57	* ItsAllAboutMe: She likes to steal the spotlight from the others and is an AttentionWhore.
58	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Rude, self-centered, and sometimes unreasonable, but deep down a loving mom.
59	* LethalChef: Heavily implied, hence the great lengths P.J and Bob go through to make sure she doesn't cook Thanksgiving dinner.
60	* MamaBear: Actually used by the Duncans to describe Amy - and [[JustifiedTrope she owns the trope]] ''[[RuleOfCool to very]] [[RuleOfFunny good effect]]''. In simple terms: mess with her offspring... and you ''will'' pay for it.
61	* ManipulativeBitch: Towards Lauren Dabney and [[AbusiveParents her own son (Gabe)]] in "Rat-A-Teddy"
62	* {{Narcissist}}: She's already an AttentionWhore, but sometimes she can take it too far due to the fact she believes it's...
63	* NeverMyFault: Until the SeriesFinale, she hardly ever admits her wrongdoings.
64	* ObnoxiousEntitledHousewife: A more likable one, though, as despite her more self-serving characteristics, she's a loving mom.
65	* OnlySaneWoman: Originally until her flanderization.
66	* ParentService: Her most prominent example being her performance at Charlie's Music and Me daycare.
67	* SmallNameBigEgo: Amy likes to think that she's the best at everything she does, and seems to believe that she's a big time star just waiting to be discovered; she once replaced her family (except Charlie) with professionals for a group talent show, which she didn't technically apologize for.
68	* StageMom: Often takes advantage of opportunities given to her kids, especially Teddy and Gabe, to get famous and relive her glory days in college.
69	%%* TeamMom: Most notably in the episode "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Team Mom]]."
70	%%* {{Tsundere}}
71	* UglyGuyHotWife: She's more conventionally attractive than her chubby, bald husband.

74	[[folder: Gabriel P. "Gabe" Duncan]]
75	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gabe_good_luck_charlie.jpg]]
76	->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/BradleyStevenPerry
77	The [[StepfordSnarker sarcastic,]] often dour 10-year old son, who resents Charlie for having usurped his position as the baby of the family, and thus drawing a good deal of attention away from him. His perceptions seem somewhat justified. Continues the proud [[Series/ThePartridgeFamily Danny Bonaduce]] tradition of looking ''nothing'' like the rest of the family.
78	----
79	* AbsurdlyYouthfulMother: GenderFlip. In the future episode set ten years in the future Gabe would be 24 which is young for a parent. Especially considering the kid sounds like a toddler or preschooler so Gabe would've had him even younger
80	* AloofBigBrother: To Charlie. Initially he's not too fond of Charlie because of InfantSiblingJealousy but eventually warms up to her, sort of.
81	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To PJ and Teddy. He often insults and bothers both his older siblings.
82	* BrilliantButLazy: He's very smart and clever, but his main interest is pranking and causing troubles.
83	* ButtMonkey
84	-->'''PJ:''' We used to do all ''kinds'' of fun stuff.\
85	'''Gabe:''' When did that stop?\
86	'''Teddy:''' Let's see... how old are you?
87	* CharacterDevelopment: While his trademark sarcasm never leaves, he does noticeably mature as the series goes on and grows more empathetic towards his family, especially towards Charlie and Toby.
88	* DeadpanSnarker: He's ''constantly'' sarcastic.
89	* TheDreaded: PlayedForLaughs. Almost every adult he's ever met is aware of his infamous reputation as a [[ThePrankster prankster]] and their reactions often range from mild annoyance to utter terror.
90	%%* TheEeyore
91	* EvilerThanThou: He and Mrs. Dabney are always on the banter about this.
92	* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: He and PJ are the Foolish to Teddy's Responsible. Although he is smarter than PJ, he is a troublemaker and careless at times.
93	%%* HeIsAllGrownUp: As of the Season 4 premiere.
94	* HollywoodGenetics: His dark hair makes a contrast to the rest of his blonde family.
95	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He has his moments when he does good things for the others, despite his usual behavior.
96	* MouthyKid: He's a smartass kid who likes to tease everyone in the family.
97	* MiddleChildSyndrome: Became like this after Toby's birth.
98	* MysteriousMiddleInitial: What does the P in Gabriel P. Duncan stand for again? Given the general Star Wars theme they seem to use when naming their children, Padme, or even Palpatine, might be good guesses.
99	* ThePrankster: He's known for being a troublemaker.
100	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Manly to PJ's sensitive.
101	* TheSnarkKnight: Gabe and Mrs. Dabney [[SerialEscalation all work this trope like dogs on a T-bone]].
102	* TallDarkAndSnarky: Gabe's shaping up to be this in Season 3.
103	* TeenPregnancy: His kid is probably the result of one. In the future episode set ten years in the future Gabe would be 24 which is young for a parent. Especially considering the kid sounds like a toddler or preschooler so Gabe would've had him even younger.
104	* TheUnfavourite: Things are so hectic in the series premiere that the rest of the family forgets to feed him.
105	[[/folder]]

107	[[folder: Charlotte "Charlie" Duncan]]
108	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/charlie_good_luck_charlie.jpg]]
109	->'''Portrayed by:''' Mia Talerico, Ava Sambora (Future Charlie in "Futuredrama")
110	The 9-month old (as of the series premiere, currently 4 years old) newest addition to the Duncan family. She begins the series as an infant, not doing much except make noise, pooping and spitting up. Nonetheless, she's extremely cute, and quickly progresses to new milestones, such as making her first attempts at real English words, and taking her first steps. She is whom [[CharacterTitle the series' title comes from]].
111	----
112	* AesopAmnesia: In "Guys and Dolls", Amy tried to help Charlie with her jealousy of Toby, which seemingly worked. Amy pretended to make Toby talk and say that Charlie is his favorite sister. Come ''Doppel Date'' however, Charlie wanted Toby to stay in the hotel. Justified in that she's still a toddler. "FutureDrama" shows that while the dynamic doesn't necessarily end, Charlie is a lot more well-intended but Toby finds her intrusive.
113	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To some extent, to the point of sometimes being nosy.
114	* BirthdayBuddies: She and Toby share the same birthday, but she is three years older. To call them buddies would be pushing it, as in TheStinger of "Charlie 4, Toby 1", her birthday wish is for him to disappear.
115	* CharacterDevelopment:
116	** She gets a lot more characterization in seasons 3 and 4. As she grows up, she seems to take after Gabe, who was jealous of her, whereas now Charlie is jealous of Toby. She also appears to be shaping up to be a troublemaker, like Gabe. She's also inherited her [[SmallNameBigEgo mother's ego]] which has lead Amy and Bob to say she's her mother's daughter.
117	** In "Duncan Dream House", for the first time, Charlie was actually right about keeping their old home, and even had her own scene where she talks to her imaginary circle.
118	** If "Futuredrama" is any indication, she grows up to be more like Teddy.
119	* TheCutie: Charlie attracts an "Aww" from the studio audience nearly every time she's on camera.
120	* {{Deuteragonist}}: From Season 3 onward, Charlie is given a lot more character focus, mostly due to her growing up.
121	* EvilDetectingBaby: In "Girl Bites Dog", Charlie bites Spencer because she somehow knows [[spoiler:he's cheating on Teddy.]]
122	%%* FromTheMouthsOfBabes
123	* GenderBlenderName: Charlie.
124	* GenreBlindness: Her future self learns this the hard way after getting beat up by 11-year old Toby, since she forgot to wait for the ending tagline of the video diary, "Good luck Charlie!"
125	* InfantSiblingJealousy: Since Toby was born, she constantly asked that he be left somewhere, thrown away, or ignored him as much as she could get away with. It ran in the family, as Gabe felt the same way about her, and each older sibling of the Duncan household felt the same way about their immediate younger sibling.
126	* LittleMissSnarker: She's shaping up to be this in Season 3. This became evident when she picked up the phrase "aw nuts" from Amy.
127	* LittleSisterInstinct: She bites Spencer in "Girl Bites Dog" because she could sense that something was off about him. The end of the episode reveals that [[spoiler:Spencer was seeing another girl behind Teddy's back]].
128	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Charlie's real name is Charlotte.
129	* PingPongNaivete: Charlie often appears really smart for a baby (her cognitive abilities and understanding of language would make Jean Piaget turn in his grave), but she'll be the SpannerInTheWorks if the plot calls for it.
130	* PlotDevice: Being about 9 months old, she starts out as such. However, thanks to CharacterDevelopment due to her growing up, there are some episodes where she gets a subplot of her own.
131	* SecondaryCharacterTitle: The main character is Teddy, who is making a series of video diaries for Charlie to watch in the future, all of which end with Teddy telling her [[TitleDrop "Good luck, Charlie"]].
132	* ShesAllGrownUp: Her future self. The present Charlie even lampshades this during the CreditsGag of "Futuredrama".
133	* ShipperOnDeck: Implied to be this towards Teddy and Spencer.
134	* TomboyishName: She has a boyish name, just like her sister Teddy.
135	[[/folder]]
136
137	[[folder: Bob Duncan]]
138	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bob_good_luck_charlie.jpg]]
139	->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/EricAllanKramer
140	The 40-something man of the house. Bob runs his own business as an exterminator. He seems rather absent-minded (not being able to recall Gabe's birthday or where he goes to school), and can be quite clumsy at times. He's also quite fond of his daughter Teddy, and can thus be overprotective of her.
141	----
142	* AndStarring: "With Eric Allen Kramer"
143	* BerserkButton: This cannot be stressed enough: Do '''not''' call Amy "crazy" or "a pest" in front of Bob - unless you're family... or Amy. Yes Mr. Piper, we're talking to you.
144	* BigEater: Often becomes the butt of the jokes due to this.
145	%%* TheBigGuy
146	* BumblingDad: Mostly averted. Although he has plenty of his own quirks, he's a very competent father and often plays Only Sane Man when someone else, especially Amy, creates a scheme.
147	* TheConscience: Or at least when his wife goes off the deep end.
148	%%* DeadpanSnarker: Surprisingly often.
149	* DrivesLikeCrazy: Bob with the new car. First, he crashes it into the kitchen. Then, in the credits, he crashes it ''[[RuleOfFunny into the eight floor of a building]]''.
150	* HappilyMarried: He and Amy are in a happy marriage.
151	* HenpeckedHusband: His wife Amy tends to be the more assertive, dominant one in their relationship.
152	* HighSchoolSweethearts: With Amy. Bob played basketball; Amy was the mascot.
153	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With his much shorter wife Amy.
154	* InsistentTerminology: Prefers to be called a "pest-control specialist" rather than an "exterminator."
155	* IWasQuiteTheLooker: Looked like [[PrettyBoy PJ]] in his younger years.
156	* TheNoseKnows: Bob was able to identify the sex and species of a mouse, as well as the fact that it was pregnant, [[{{Squick}} by analyzing the scent of its droppings.]]
157	* SmugSnake: He usually is not this trope, but whenever he actually shows dominance, he acts quite supercilious.
158	* UglyGuyHotWife: Amy is more conventionally attractive than chubby, bald Bob. This becomes somewhat of a subversion in Season 3, as a result of Eric Allan Kramer's drastic weight loss giving him a bulkier look, evened out by a haircut that made his already thinning hair ''more'' apparent.
159	[[/folder]]

161	[[folder: Potty John "PJ" Duncan]]
162	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pj_good_luck_charlie.jpg]]
163	->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/JasonDolley
164	The 17-year old eldest child of the family. He's a phenomenal airhead and a horrible student. His passion seems to be playing rock and roll, even though he's not very good at it. He cares a good deal about his family and wants earnestly to do his part in helping raise his baby sister, but his absentmindedness makes this difficult.
165	----
166	%%* AloofBigBrother: To Gabe.
167	* AndStarring: "and Jason Dolley".
168	* CharacterDevelopment: He becomes noticeable smarter and more ambitious as the series goes on.
169	%%* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
170	* ChildishOlderSibling: He's much more immature and careless than his younger sister, Teddy.
171	* CoolBigBro: To Charlie, he's probably closer to her than he is to his other siblings.
172	%%* DreadfulMusician: DependingOnTheWriter
173	* DeadpanSnarker: Has his moments, most notably in [[spoiler:"Name That Baby".]]
174	* DumbassTeenageSon: A good example would be his boss putting him on the case to find out whose been stealing chicken from the restaurant. It was the boss himself, and he put PJ on the case because he figured he was too stupid to work it out.
175	* DumbBlond: PJ is the family Ditz and has blond hair.
176	* EmbarrassingFirstName: According to his birth certificate, PJ's name is revealed to be "Potty John". Bob tries to get it corrected, [[spoiler:but PJ's name is now "PP" Duncan.]]
177	* {{Expy}}:
178	** PJ is a grungier, working-class version of [[Series/CoryInTheHouse Newt Livingston]]. This is made even more pronounced by the fact that the same actor plays both characters. PJ is probably smarter than Newt, but the characters on this show are smarter too, so it balances out.
179	** Older viewers might notice a few striking resemblances to [[Film/FastTimesAtRidgemontHigh Jeff Spicoli.]] Take away the surfer accent, the BrilliantButLazy facets of Spicoli and the fact that Disney can't feature [[TheStoner the main trait that everyone remembers Spicoli for]], and you have PJ.
180	* FollowInMyFootsteps: Bob states that he'd like PJ to join him in pest control, and he'd rename the company to "Duncan & Son" if he did. PJ immediately decides to go study.
181	* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: He and Gabe are the Foolish to Teddy's Responsible. He is far more immature and airheaded than Teddy is, and while he is much less of a troublemaker than Gabe, he is far more careless than them both.
182	* GeniusDitz: It's been stated and proven that he's the best cook in the house.
183	* KiddieKid: ''In spades''. The most visible example being how his favorite show is ''The Gurgles'', a ''Series/{{Teletubbies}}'' Expy starring singing, dancing shapes that even Charlie has outgrown.
184	* KindheartedSimpleton: Easygoing and friendly but definetely not the brightest
185	* MommasBoy: Of all the Duncan kids, PJ is undoubtedly the one closest to Amy. Amy in turn acknowledges that he is her favourite. Generally portrayed in a positive and often sweet light.
186	* NiceGuy: Bob views PJ as the nicest of his children.
187	%%* OfficialCouple: With Skyler.
188	* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: PJ is ''supposed to be'' short for Patrick John. Due to Bob's poor penmanship on the birth certificate, it actually stands for Potty John.
189	* PairTheDumbOnes: His eventual girlfriend Skyler is an even bigger ditz than he is.
190	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Sensitive to Gabe's manly.
191	* SmarterThanYouLook: Hinted at, as when he's focused, he's surprisingly on the ball. Mrs. Dabney even lampshades it: "Sometimes youre smart, sometimes you're dumb. Hard to keep up."
192	* SupremeChef: He's not the brightest bulb in the box, but he's one heck of a cook (at least in comparison to [[LethalChef Amy]]).
193	* UncannyFamilyResemblance: A video of Bob from his high school basketball days shows that he looked exactly like his son PJ does today, only with [[EightiesHair longer hair]].
194	* UnfortunateNames: PJ's name was supposed to be Patty John, after his grandfather Patrick John, but Bob was so frazzled when signing the birth certificate, that he wrote "Potty John" instead. This is fixed by the end of the episode though. [[spoiler:But now it instead reads "PP".]]

198	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toby_good_luck_charlie.jpg]]
199	->'''Portrayed by:''' Jake Cinoa & Logan Moreau (not credited in opening titles)
200	The newest addition, he shares a birthday with Charlie.
201	----
202	* AudienceParticipation: The name and gender of the baby was determined by an online poll.
203	* BirthdayBuddies: He and Charlie share the same birthday, though she is three years older than he is. To call them buddies would be pushing it, as in TheStinger of "Charlie 4, Toby 1", Charlie's birthday wish is for him to disappear.
204	* PunnyName: His full name is [[Franchise/StarWars Toby Wan Kenobi]] Duncan.

207	!Recurring Characters
208	[[folder: Ivy Wentz]]
209	->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/RavenGoodwin
210	Teddy's best friend. She hopes some of Teddy's popularity will rub off on her, and she thinks the Duncan family is incredibly strange but more entertaining than her own family. She's also a horrible student who rejoices over receiving her first B.
211	----
212	* BigBeautifulWoman: Ivy might be overweight but her hair and make-up are always nicely done and she wears fashionable clothes. Justified since she's very concerned about her appearance.
213	* BookDumb: Ivy waited until her sophomore year in high school to get her highest grade ever: a B.
214	* DeadpanSnarker: Often expresses her disdain for other people with snarky remarks.

216	* FatBestFriend: Of the brash, outgoing type, to Teddy.
217	* HormoneAddledTeenager: Known for being a little boy-crazy.
218	* SassyBlackWoman: She and her mother are both Sassy Black Women, though Ivy has a bit of an edge on her mother since Mary Lou likes jigsaw puzzles and likes to sing "Row Row Row Your Boat" in German.
219	[[/folder]]
220
221	[[folder: Emmett]]
222	->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/MicahWilliams
223	PJ's somewhat nerdy best friend, and the drummer in his band. He has an incredibly creepy crush on Teddy, which he's deluded himself into thinking is an actual relationship.
224	----
225	* BlackAndNerdy: He's black, somewhat dorky and wears glasses.
226	%%* DreadfulMusician
227	* StalkerWithACrush: Towards Teddy. He's actually convinced himself that they're in a real relationship.
228	[[/folder]]
229
230	[[folder: Mrs. Estelle Dabney]]
231	->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/PatriciaBelcher
232	The Duncans' next-door neighbor. Mrs. Dabney is cranky, unfriendly, and at times, {{manipulative\| bastard}}. Born in 1958 in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, she comes from a set of identical quintuplets, none of which are [[PolarOppositeTwins anything like her]] personality-wise.
233	----
234	%%* CardCarryingVillain
235	%%* TheComicallySerious
236	* DeadpanSnarker: Her interactions with Gabe tend to be SnarkToSnarkCombat.
237	* EvilRedhead: Has red hair and usually used as an antagonist.
238	%%* {{Jerkass}}
239	* ManipulativeBitch: She's quite cunning to the point that she's able to set a trap on Gabe.
240	* MistakenForMurderer: PJ and Gabe misinterpret her outburst at her soap operas, and her attempts to get rid of the smell of death and a large, heavy trunk as evidence that she murdered her husband.
241	* PolarOppositeTwins: Or rather Polar Opposite Quintuplets: Mrs. Dabney comes from a set of identical quintuplets, none of which are anything like her personality-wise.
242	* SassyBlackWoman: Averted. However, this begins to show in ''The Unusual Suspects'' when she says "You're not the boss of me!" to Amy.
243	%%* TheSnarkKnight
244	* UncannyFamilyResemblance: Mrs. Dabney apparently comes from a set of identical ''quintuplets''.
245	* WorthyOpponent: To Gabe, as she's just as cunning as he is, and Gabe admits to enjoy their rivalry in one episode.
246	[[/folder]]
247
248	[[folder: Spencer Walsh]]
249	->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/ShaneHarper
250	Teddy's study buddy, love interest, and eventual boyfriend (and then eventual EX-boyfriend). After numerous botched attempts, he finally gives Teddy her first kiss. He comes from a wealthy family, about which he's quite modest, and enjoys hip-hop dancing... oh, yeah, and he's a two-timing {{jerk\|ass}}. [[spoiler:Teddy recently decided to give him a second chance and they're back together.]]
251	----
252	* CharacterDevelopment: Spencer started out looking like a SatelliteLoveInterest, but later turned out to be pretty interesting. [[spoiler:And then turns out to be a cheating {{Jerkass}}]]. To his credit, Spencer [[spoiler:deeply regretted his actions, and has made up with Teddy. They're dating once more.]]
