Theo Carver is a fictional character from Days of Our Lives, an American soap opera on the NBC network. Introduced in 2003, Theo was created by then head writer Dena Higley as the son of former Police commissioner and mayor Salem Abe Carver (James Reynolds) and his wife Lexie Carver (Renée Jones). The role was most notably portrayed by Terrell Ransom, Jr. from 2008 until 2015. Ransom's biggest story would come in the form of Theo being diagnosed with Autism and its affect on his parents' marriage. In 2015, Kyler Pettis joined the cast as a rapidly aged Theo. As a teenager, Theo develops romantic feelings for the troubled Ciara (Vivian Jovanni) which puts him at odds with Abe. Theo struggles to deal with his autism as a young adult and also becomes involved in a love triangle with Ciara and Claire Brady (Olivia Rose Keegan).

In the summer of 2002, Abe Carver (Reynolds) announces his plans to divorce his wife Lexie (Jones) for her attempt at kidnapping a child and trying to pass it off as their own. On the rebound, Lexie sleeps with Brandon Walker (Matt Cedeño). Lexie later reveals she is pregnant and a paternity test proves Abe is the baby's father. Abe and Lexie reunite and as she gives birth to her baby on May 29, 2003, Brandon is revealed to be Abe's long lost son. Brandon's new wife and Lexie's rival Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) later reveals that she tampered with the baby's original paternity test to make sure Abe believes he is the child's father. Fortunately, a paternity test confirms Abe as the boy's father. On June 2, Lexie and Abe officially name their son Theodore Brandon, after Brandon and Abe's late brother Theo (Rusty Cundieff). In September 2003, Abe is presumed dead when he is shot on the day of Theo's christening. Fortunately, Abe is revealed to be alive in 2004 and the family is reunited. After Lexie's latest affair, in 2006, Abe wants to divorce her and sue for custody of Theo. However, Lexie is presumed dead in January 2007 before the divorce is final leaving Abe to raise Theo on his own. Fortunately, Lexie is revealed to be alive several months later. In early 2008, Lexie is appointed to the chief of staff position at the hospital. In June 2008, a 3 year old Theo (Ransom) is diagnosed with autism which puts a strain on the Carvers' marriage. Lexie later walks away from her position at the hospital to spend more time with Theo. In the fall of 2008, Abe decides to run for mayor and the parents struggle with the idea of forcing Theo to live a life in the public eye. In December 2008, Theo runs away from Lexie and gets lost. Fortunately Abe and Lexie's friend Bo Brady (Peter Reckell) tracks the boy down and brings him home. In 2009, Theo starts making progress with his condition when he acknowledges Abe and Lexie as his parents for the first time. Over the years, Theo forms bonds with his grandfather Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) and his uncles EJ (James Scott), Chad DiMera (Casey Deidrick) and Cameron Davis (Nathan Owens) as well as his cousins. He is also very close friends with Bo and Hope Brady (Kristian Alfonso)'s mischievous daughter Ciara Brady (Lauren Boles). In 2012, Lexie passes away leaving Abe to raise their son alone. Theo later reveals that he has been communicating with his late mother.
