Modern Family Wiki

Ted Durkas was a kid at Luke Dunphy and Manny Delgado's middle school who gave both boys a hard time.

In "My Funky Valentine", Manny's love interest, Fiona, read a Valentine poem written by Manny, and Ted said that he wrote the poem to win Fiona's heart. Manny explained this to Mitchell and Cameron and decided to go to the restaurant where Fiona and Ted were having a date to get Fiona back for Manny. Cam ran back for Manny by getting Ted away from the table. Manny was able to tell Fiona that he really wrote the poem, but Ted came back and shoved Manny away. Mitch then defended Manny by using the speech he was going to use from the case, which made Cam happy. Ted finally admitted that he didn't write the poem, but also told Fiona that he had those feelings, but didn't know how to express them. She thought that it was sweet, and Manny and Mitch got out of the place because they thought she was a loon.

In "Open House of Horrors", Manny accidentally set the fire alarm at school, which made everyone to miss their exam. Ted appreciated what Manny had done for him and his friends, and offered him the chance to hang out with them. While Luke said it was a chance to get in with the cool kids, Reuben believed that what Ted wanted was to humiliate Manny. Despite his advice, Manny decided to go with them. However, Ted humiliated Manny, and Reuben reminded him that he warned him.
