[edit] Family and life

Teddy is the younger brother of Michael Gavin and uncle to Tommy. Teddy made a lot of money from gambling, but made even more from modelling for a men's sports magazine. Ironically, he mistakes the man who hires him as a model for a loan shark that has come to "collect" on his gambling debts. Although Teddy considers himself a heterosexual, he received oral sex from a transvestite (which he discovered after the fact), and wasn't overly disturbed by sexual advances from a black dwarf. Teddy is arrested at the end of season 2 for the unlawful killing of the drunk driver that had killed Tommy's only son, Connor Gavin. Despite this, he seems to be upbeat about his arrest, and has accepted the consequences of his actions. In fact, Teddy appears to be enjoying his time in prison, that he has requested that no one try to convince the courts to lessen his sentence. Teddy has also received numerous marriage proposals from women, and plans to marry one while in prison just so he can be eligible for conjugal visits. When he meets Ellie, the woman he chose, he actually becomes smitten after hearing her views on society and quickly proposes. They married in a quick and strange ceremony in prison, and although things work out at first, Ellie becomes too emotional and is often too upset to sleep with Teddy after Johnny Gavin died. Teddy is now desperate to be released from prison as a result of the recent happenings.
