Theo Sankofa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Theo Sankofa was a fictional character on the Channel 4 British televison soap opera Hollyoaks. He was played by actor Andrew Somerville between 2001-2002.
[edit] Character History
Theo moved to Hollyoaks where he set up the village's first gadget shop, ‘Theologic’, which supplied some of the strangest devices. Friendly and well-liked, Theo was someone who the residents of Hollyoaks came to for advice and help. He often supported and advised his friends, including Chloe Bruce and Matt Musgrove. Theo also played a key part in helping Gordon Cunningham in winning the local elections as Theo was his right-hand man campaigner.
In 2002, his younger brother Norman arrived and extra responsibility was put on Theo’s shoulders, especially when his business began to fall apart. ’Theologic’ wasn’t making much profit, which led Theo into selling the business and both he and Norman had to move into the Hunter’s caravan park. With crippling debts ahead and not much money available, Theo was struggling with money problems.
Theo, along with Ben Davies, Kristian Hargreaves, Max Cunningham, Jamie Nash and Sam "O.B" O'Brian, headed for a potholing trip which turned into a disaster. During a rock fall, Theo died in the van the group was using, which left Sally Hunter to break the devastating news to Norman.
