Biography

Ted had a relationship with Audrey Potter in the 1950s. He went away to serve in the army, unaware that Audrey was pregnant. Audrey realised she didn't love Ted and called off the engagement, and didn't inform them she was pregnant. She gave birth to a daughter Gail without telling him.

Audrey and Ted reunited in 2008 after getting back into contact. Audrey decided to tell the truth and informed a stunned Ted that he had a grown up daughter. Ted wasn't mad at Audrey for keeping the secret from him initially and was happy. Ted later met Gail and discovered he had grandchildren Nick, Sarah and David. At the time David was serving time in a young offenders institute for vandalising Coronation Street. Ted met David's girlfriend Tina McIntyre, who was staying with Gail. Ted revealed that he is gay and that his partner James recently passed away. Audrey was shocked to discover that Ted is gay, much to the amusement of Gail and Tina.

Soon enough Ted became a regular visitor to the Platt household, normally dividing his time between there and his own home in London. He housesat for Gail while her and Audrey visited Sarah and her daughter Bethany in Milan during the summer of 2008. David and Tina ended up throwing a party, but it came to a sudden end during a scrap with the next door neighbours. Ted befriended longstanding resident Ken Barlow and the pair shared an interest in theatre and literature, resulting in them becoming best friends. Ken's acid tongued mother-in-law Blanche Hunt enjoyed teasing Ken about Ted and claiming they were boyfriends, much to Ken's annoyance and Ted's amusement.
