Is Derek Tripp's Dad?


No seriously, I've been watching the series and I have this strong feeling he's his Dad.

1. We've never met his Dad.

2. He and Tripp's Mom were seen rather close in one episode, I do believe he had a hand on her shoulder in fact.

3. He does seem to act like a Father Figure, he's always the one who tries to talk at least HIS version of reason into Tripp, etc.

Am I the only one who distinctly has the feeling Derek is his Dad?

reply

I think the same thing! I made a reference to it in my "Secret Missing Episode of I'm in the Band" Youtube video. (Very disgusting video) But seriously, that would be a good storyline for the series.

reply

Yeah, it would be. And I saw the episode where they got close again. The Mom seemed to give Derek an ALMOST flirty look before telling him not to touch her. As if implying maybe they did know and have feelings for eachother but those feelings are gone now.

I would NOT be surprised if the first dramatic episode we get of this show is an episode where Derek reveals to Tripp he's his Dad. Maybe in some sort of Father's Day themed episode?

I'd see it going like this.:

Tripp is bummed about some Father-Son thing at school as his Dad left when he was an infant. Throughout the episode Derek is trying to talk to Tripp but Tripp is just too depressed about the whole thing to talk to anyone. Finally at the end of the episode, Tripp goes to the event alone, and Derek shows up, Tripp realizes Ash and Burger are not with him. Then in the (MAYBE Season 2 Finale Shocker?) Derek reveals to Tripp he's his Dad. The episode ends right there.

Or better yet that could be the announced TWO-PART SPECIAL! Part 2 could be all about Tripp coming to terms with what he has just found out and his Mom and Derek maybe start to rekindle a romance towards the end of the episode? (I do think they would make a good couple)

Y'know..that might be interesting. Kinda like the whole "Darth Vader was really the father of Luke&Leia Skywalker"..or it could backfire. Who knows for sure,what would happen. I don't,and I don't agree w/the "anonymous poster above me",suggesting he is right for the part,given his fake acting resume.

Oops,my bad. The person who's post is displayed,below mine.

I would like to see Derek be Tripp's father, like not biologically, but Derek and Beth seem to be cute together, I would like to see them date and get married and Derek be Tripp's dad, Derek DOES make sure Tripp is a good guy... although Tripp makes sure the band does "Smart" stuff. lol
they play off eachother

reply

I doubt they will ever do an episode like that. T'would be a very swell episode indeed.

well not get married, but I think I can see an eposide, where Derek and Beth become close like friends then I can see a kiss and maybe see Tripp, Ash and Burger spying on them and get them on one night...

;)

or I just hope :D

reply

Oh, and BTW there's an ep in season 2 called "Raiders of the Lost Dad". I wonder if that's what happened.

According to Showfax I think I was wrong with my theories in my swell videos and you are wrong too. lol On showfax, they list character names for guest stars and in the last episode, the characters name is Jack Campbell and I'm guessing that's Tripp's real father. Who else would it be? lol

I seen that,
cant wait for the episode

but still, Derek and Beth seem to be closer than what she is with Ash and Burger, I just hope they do a date thing and end up dating..

that would be cuuttttttte

reply

I really dout Derek is Tripp's Dad, I don't know where anybody got that idea. I'm pretty sure both Derek and Beth would know if they knew each other in the past and slept together! Beth didn't seam to have any Clue who Derek was when she met Iron Weasel for the first time.

Also what episode are you talking about where Derek and Beth seam close? I don't remember that? and didn't Derek mention a few times that it was Burger who had a crush on Tripp's mother? and if I remember corectly he made fun of it saying it made him feel sick.

reply

well I didnt say they were close in an episode, I said it'll be cool if they MAKE it happen,
write it in an episode,

plus u can feel attached to someone who u never thought would happen after a couple years.

and we all knew Derek ISNT Tripp's dad, he's just more of a father figure to Tripp then Ash and Burger, Ash and Burger are more like uncles towards Tripp.

I think thats why everyone wants Derek to be Tripp's dad, cause it's cute.

we know it's not true,

reply


Yeah I know, I wasn't addressing that to you, there was another poster who said they got close in one episode.

Yeah I just can't see Derek being Tripp's dad, it wouldn't make sense.

reply

If Derek got together with Beth, Burger would murder him in a very gruesome and unfriendlike way. Just saying.

Swooping is bad.
