Characters and couples research

Active source

2. Who he is in canon

Ted is an emotional background presence in the show. His main on-screen moments are precisely about his absence: he doesn't notice what his children are going through, he doesn't respond when his wife is dealing with something real, he reads the paper while the world burns around him. [1]
