Emmett Heglin is PJ Duncan's best friend and drummer of his band, which is called "PJ and the Vibe". He has also had a huge crush on Teddy since he was 9. His talents are dancing and playing the drums. He is portrayed by Micah Williams.
Personal life[]
In the early seasons of the show, we quickly learn that Emmett has had a crush on Teddy since childhood. Emmett said that he and Teddy were in a relationship, even though that just wasn't true, as Teddy wasn't interested in him and even P.J. knew that she wasn't going to date him.
PJ challenges Emmett to a baby race with his nephew against Charlie. Charlie ends up winning by taking her first steps. ("Double Whammy"). These "baby races" would eventually become somewhat of a running gag in the series, as seen in the episode "Wentz's Weather Girls."
A dance is approaching at Teddy's school. Teddy asks Spencer out for the big night and Ivy asks out Emmett. Teddy tries to get her first kiss from Spencer, but Emmett, who also likes Teddy, tries to challenge Spencer with a dance-off ("Dance Off").
It is mentioned in several episodes that his parents dislike him, to the point where they pay him to stay out of the house.
In Baby Steps, his parents buy him an apartment, throw him a party, and take him to the apartment in under 20 minutes, presumably due to their desperation to get him out of the house.
Relationships[]
PJ Duncan[]
PJ and Emmett are best friends, they agree on the same ideas but argue every so often. As of "Baby Steps", PJ moved in with Emmett. Of the two, PJ is somewhat brighter. PJ never had a problem with Emmett asking out his sister Teddy, though she always rejects Emmett.
Teddy Duncan[]
Emmett has had a crush on Teddy since childhood. When PJ tries to tell Emmett that he doesn't have a relationship with Teddy, he replies with, "yes there is because even my mom knows about it!" Teddy obviously does not like him back. Emmett was jealous of Spencer because he was dating Teddy, he tried to threaten him, but because of Spencer's height and strength, he didn't succeed ("Study Date"). He also calls her "Teddy Bear".
Ivy asked Emmett out to the dance and he doesn't agree. But when Emmett sees Teddy and Spencer dancing together, he tries to get Spencer away from Teddy by hip hop dancing with him. Emmett was working in Super Adventure Land as a frog and gets Teddy a job of being a princess. Teddy has a dream, then invites Emmett to her house. Later on, Emmett quits his job at Super Adventure Land. He ended his crush on Teddy after seeing how crazy she is when she tried to kiss him (Return to Super Adventure Land).
Once, Emmett took Teddy to the homecoming dance, because when they were little he tricked Teddy into saying yes unless he had a girlfriend. Teddy desperately tried to get the new girl at school to go to the homecoming dance with Emmett, but her plan failed.
Ivy Wentz[]
Ivy was Emmett's girlfriend at some point before the series began, but she dumped him. This relationship is not seen but mentioned ("Dance Off"). Emmett seems to hate Ivy ("Duncan's Got Talent").
Tina[]
Tina is an 18-year-old Venezuelan girl, introduced as a new student at South High. Tina and Emmett had just become a couple. However, Tina then began to flirt with PJ Duncan. Emmett and PJ then talked to her at school about her flirting with PJ when her and Emmett were already a couple. They figure out that it was Tina's identical twin sister Nina ("Pushing Buttons"). That was the only episode she appeared in.
Spencer Walsh[]
Emmett doesn't approve of Spencer. Emmett tries to keep Teddy away from Spencer, but constantly fails. However, after a dance contest at the school dance, they actually get along and even started talking about how great they dance (Dance Off).
His Parents[]
Emmett's parents do not make an appearance at any point in the show. However, it's commonly implied his parents don't like him. For instance, Emmett once stated that his dad pays him to stay out of the house. Additionally, one of the conditions of him getting an apartment was that he never called them.
Vonnie[]
Emmett and Vonnie
It is implied that Emmett could potentially have a crush on Vonnie, as he may have been flirting with her in the episode Rat-A-Teddy. In Good Bye Charlie, he is also seen leaning back onto the couch next to Vonnie and smiles at her, to which she blushes. He does this while Spencer and Teddy are singing a love song. Although it was never revealed in-show, there is a possibility that Vonnie and Emmett became a couple in the near future, after the series-end.
