Moving to the Village in 2001 setting up awesome gadget shop 'Theologic' very friendly and a type of agony uncle to various characters had a great friendship with Jamie Nash and played a part in Mr C winning the local elections and had some good comedy scenes as Mr C's righ hand man, his brother arrived in 2002 and had a close bond, however Theo's shop closed and he was in major debt. Theo joined Ben, Kristian, Max, OB and Jamie on a pot holing trip unfortunately the van they were in crashed and a terrified OB had to watch helplessly as Theo fell from the van and died from his injuries

What are your mrmories of Theo? What did you think of his character?

General nice guy but a bit boring if I am honest. Remember his gadget shop and his sad death but thats about it. I remember more about his brother than him lol. Don't have hardly any pics of him either apart from the wiki one.

Did he date anyone?

I don't think Theo dated anyone in his year on the show...shame his character never really developed

It is odd that, considering he was a winner of the "Hollyoaks: On The Pull" cast search(along with Marcus Patric(Ben) Lesley Johnston(Laura) and Elize Du Toit(Izzy), the producers never gave him any really big storylines as he was their new investment, Ben and Izzy and, to a certain degree, Laura had big storylines, esp Ben with his 5 years and 2 years in spin off shows. I always wondered why Theo was never given any real meaty plots, he was a good actor as I recall.....way better than some of the cr*p actors they hire now

Normally with character they atleast date 1 person so really weird he didn't date anyone at all. Good point that about the rest of the "On the Pull" winners they have all had quite huge storylines in comparison. It makes you wonder if they changed their mind as he wasn't getting good feedback/wasn't popular so decided he will be one of the casulties in the accident. How long was he even in hollyoaks? Less than a year?

Theo was in Hollyoaks from 2001-2002 but no specification of the month when he arrived and left

When you consider Ben clocked up 7 years if you include 'Let Loose' and 'ITC', Izzy clocked up 4 years with a guest apearance in 2007 those two had BIG storylines and Laura clocked up 2 years and had the huge Mandy storyline....so, why was Theo so underused, classic HO to underuse e.g Jamil, Lee, Diane etc....Theo always interested me as he was a bit different and the kind of guy you would actually meet, just a nice bloke....I wonder if they axed him or if he quit

In a way I am glad it was him...for instance if they had to pick 2 people out of the characters that did go on the trip [ben,ob,max,jamie,kristian,theo] then Theo would be one of my picks just because he added nothing. Wouldn't have minded Kristian going either mind you. More gutted about Jamie than I was with Theo. Remember OB chatting to him in the car as he was stuck and had noway out.

Yeah I wasn't that mad about Kristian either so he could have gone just aslong as Ben/Max/Ob were all ok as they are the best.

100% agree with you on the Ben/Max/OB statement

I think he needed a romance, I am trying to think what females were single at the time and would suit him but cannot think of any. Just looking at wiki (not that that is reliable lol) but what was the story with his family?

Mother- Julie Sankofa
Brothers- Norman Sankofa
Sisters- Carrie Sankofa
Daughters - Judy Sankofa

I remember Norman but that is it, according to wiki he has a daughter? I know they probably didn't feature on screen but looks like there is a story we have forgotten with him possibly.
