Biography[]

Chad is the child of the Lloyd and Evelyn; an unstable marriage that constantly argues for the mental state of Chad. Lloyd and Evelyn take advantage of every opportunity they have to get rid of him and have a moment for them.

In the episode "Chad's Sleepover " he appears to be obsessively neat and organized as he rearranges everything in the Wilkerson house according to factors such as color and texture at one point even stating "rough can't go next to smooth." He played Jamie in Dewey's opera. Chad has a similar OCD to Hal, except his is more extreme. Hence, he was given a dictionary to circle in letters by Hal to calm him down.
