Theodora Rebecca "Teddy" Duncan
- She is Charlie's older and only sister. She is a caring, pushy, and intelligent teenager and the second oldest child, after PJ and before Gabe. She is 15 years old at the start of the series. Feeling that she won't be there when her sister Charlie grows up, she video-diaries in hopes that her advice will help Charlie in teenage life. At the end of every video, she wishes her sister: good luck, Charlie. She sometimes argues with her older brother PJ, which she is not very happy about. She is also a very good student and always wants to get the best grades. She also wants to do something good for her parents, especially by taking care of Charlie. She was in a relationship with Spencer, from whom she separated at the end of the third season. In the fourth season she gets together with Beau, but they split up again because Beau moves back to Tennessee. At the end of the fourth season, she gets back together with Spencer and goes to Yale University .
Peter John "PJ" Duncan
- He is the oldest of the Duncan siblings, before Teddy, and is 17 years old at the beginning of the series. Until his 18th birthday he is officially called P izza J ohn (in German dubbing) due to a mistake by his father . In the original he is officially called Potty John until his 18th birthday and not as originally planned and assumed by PJ as Patty John like his great-grandfather (Patty is the nickname for Patrick). On his 18th birthday, the birth certificate is changed and the name is entered incorrectly again. So it is not renamed PJ, but PP (spoken like pee ). He sometimes argues with Teddy and usually gets along well with his younger brother, Gabe. PJ isn't the brightest. He has a weakness for cheerleaders and later spends time with Teddy's girlfriend Skyler. He plays in a band with his best friend Emmett. PJ is very good at cooking, which is why he goes to cookery school after dropping out of college.
Gabriel "Gabe" Duncan

But he can also be dutiful and determined. In addition, at the beginning of the series he is not happy about Charlie's birth because he no longer gets the attention he used to get as the youngest child. He's extremely smart and devious for his young age. Gabe tries often and quickly to get money, which he usually does better than his brother PJ.
