Youngest child of the Capwells dynasty, Ted is also the most naive and the most passive of the family. Without a big personality, he plays more the role of friend and confidant than real foreground hero. If he is always ready to play all sorts of tricks with his friends Danny and Jade, it is above all with his great love-story with Laken Lockridge, the daughter of the rival family of his father, that he realizes himself. His unceasing baffled love however know a new step when in 1985, Ted meets Christie DuVall who decides to seduce him. Raped by her step-brother, Steve Bassett, Christie is forced by him to accuse Ted of the aggression. Ted is still used as scapegoat when, after having killed Steve, Christie asks him to cover her.

Once the affair solved and Laken and his childhood friends far away from Santa Barbara, Ted meets Hayley Benson, Gina DeMott Capwell's niece. He obtains her a job as a maid in the family mansion and very quickly he falls in love with her. But one day, involved in a manifestation by Lily "Light" Blake against the new casino of Santa Barbara, Hayley launches an ignited projectile in Buzz's bar which blazes up and causes the death of Amy Perkins. Witness of the scene, Ted has no other solution than marrying Hayley not to have to testify against her at the trial. The rape of which Hayley is victim in 1987 just accentuates the uneasiness lived by the couple since its beginnings.

Meanwhile, Ted has decided to grow up a little out of the family cocoon by accepting from his uncle Grant the management of a vineyard, RoseRidge, but without real passion. Ted thereafter works for a time in a radio station. But harassed by a woman without face and with long nails who answers to the name of Roxanne, Ted prefers to give up (Roxanne turns to be Jane Wilson, his boss at the station). Ted works after that at the Abernathy stables where he meets Jake Morton, who becomes quickly Hayley's lover. Not seeing anymore issue for his coulpe than the separation, Ted finally decides to divorce. After a quick return of Laken, which is concluded by some new adieux, Ted dates Margot Collins, waitress at The Lair. He then meets the apprentice actress Wanda Barkowski, but the flirtation ends when his brother Mason disappears. Ted then decides to leave the country to search him, first step : Japan !

It will take two years to see Ted's reappearance, finally riper and sure of him. He seduces Katrina Ruyker then Angela Raymond who forsakes Warren Lockridge for him. But their relation mainly based on sex seems to get out of breath when Angela becomes to flirt with Rafe Castillo. Ted then plots with Lily "Light" Blake, Gina's daughter and then Rafe's girlfriend, to prevent this relation. But very quickly, Ted and Lily discover a reciprocal passion the one for the other and end up getting married...
