Toby Decker is a student at Franklin Grove Middle School, and a friend of Olivia's. This is our discussion for him and his character.

Have fun! ;)

In Lucky Break (MSTV #7), it was said that Toby Decker auditioned for the role of Mercutio (the second-most main male character) in the play Romezog and Julietron. But then, obviously, Jackson got that part. I think it's kind of a shame because it seems like Toby would be a good actor. He definitely seemed like it in Fangtastic (MSTV #2). I hope he got some other role, like Benvolio or Friar Laurence. (I'm really getting obsessed with this whole play thing aren't I...)

So what does everyone think of Olivia and Toby as a couple? When I first read Fangtastic (MSTV #2) I thought it could happen. I think they'd make an okay couple but not really one to get excited about, if you know what I mean. And I definitely prefer Olivia and Jackson together.

In the end I'm glad they didn't get together because it's a nice example of how boys and girls can be friends without dating, something which maybe wasn't demonstrated enough in this series. What do you guys think? :)

Enough in this series? Enough in any series! They never put friendships before relationships in books.

I've never thought of Olivia and Toby as a couple before. Jackson's definitely better for her though.
