List of recurring characters in The Suite Life on Deck

The following is a list of recurring, minor characters in the Disney Channel Original Series, The Suite Life on Deck.

Supporting characters

Woody Fink

Woody in the Suite Life on Deck episode Parrot Island.

Woodrow "Woody" Fink (Matthew Timmons) from Cleveland, Ohio, is Cody Martin's cabin-mate on the SS Tipton. He is known for being messy and disorganized and having bad grades at school. His catchphrases are "Hurtful!" and "Dang it!" He only packed one pair of underwear for the school semester, but wore another pair. In "Flowers and Chocolate", Woody had a huge crush on London's best friend Chelsea Brimmer and he pretended being London's butler from England. He mentioned he lived in Cleveland. The fact that Woody lived there is mentioned on his sash in "The Beauty and the Fleeced". He also claims to have eleven toes (eight on one foot and three on the other), but in the episode "Showgirls", Woody is seen to have five toes on each foot. Woody also directs, does make-up and hair and guards the studio for London's web show "Yay Me! Starring London Tipton". Woody also can direct passed wind to sound like different songs. In the episode "Sea Monster Mash", he mentions that he has brothers and friends off the ship that aren't smart. He also has gas, according to Cody and can fart "Classic rock", as he can fart Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" after eating the Mexican buffet. It is also revealed that he has a younger sister who is much bigger than he is. Though, in one episode, he state that, "Being the youngest of 9, I learned to fend for myself, you wouldn't know, being an 'only-child.'" Woody has lots of trash under his bed that is big enough to build a little mountain and make clothing out of garbage. He appears to be a very messy eater as it is mentioned in Sea Monster Mash that he only eats in the bath tub because he says Cody hates crumbs and only lets him eat in the bath. Woody has some weird green stuff in between his toes as mentioned in Parrot Island. In a few episodes of the series (International Dateline, Goin' Bananas, Marriage 101) he has been interested in a female student named Addison who has also shown possible interest in him. He then went out with a girl named Becky in Smarticle Particles. In Rat Tale after he gets bitten by Buck (Cody and Bailey's pet rat) he thinks he mutates into a human-rat hybrid and later he saves Buck from falling off of an extremely high place, and does amazing acrobatic feats. In "Seven Seas News" he mentions his mom is married to a man named Steve whom he hates. In Bon Voyage it is shown that he has a 40 year old step brother named Neil who lives in his tree house. In My Sister's Keeper, Cody dates Willa who is one of Woody's sisters, though Woody appears to be overprotective. This causes Bailey to get jealous, as she was still in-love with Cody. While Cody dates his sister, he believed that Willa was very different from Woody, but when the two go on a dinner night, her true nature reveals to be exactly like Woody.

Emma Tutweiller

Emma Tutweiller in the Suite Life on Deck episode The Silent Treatment.

Emma Tutweiller (Erin Cardillo) is one of the teachers at Seven Seas High, the school on board the SS Tipton. Commonly referred to as Miss Tutweiller, Emma is very enthusiastic about her job but is often frustrated by both Cody and Bailey (while she considers them her best students, either one will often interrupt in order to correct her or say something she was going to say) and Zack, London, and Woody (whom she considers her worst students). She wears an anklet shaped like a heart and used to be a dancer in a chorus line,^[1] as well as a weather reporter for a TV station in Vermont.^[2] In several episodes, Emma has been shown to have self-esteem and/or relationship issues; a running gag has her abruptly making comments or outbursts about various failed relationships while speaking to the kids, often causing her embarrassment. Mr. Blanket once admitted he had a crush on her, and in the episode "Goin' Bananas", he has a doll of her. Mr. Moseby has dated her in the episode "Sea Harmony" and has a crush on her, as became clear in "The Play's The Thing", when he tried to make her love him using Zack's help. Emma is also very fond of cats; in the third season it was revealed that she keeps at least 30 cats in her cabin, contributing to her loneliness (some people she dates immediately reject her affinity for cats, and one calls her a "crazy cat lady"). In the episode "The Play's The Thing" she gets part of her head shaved. In "Prom Night", she and Moseby are confirmed to be dating. Miss Tutweiller did not have her own prom on the show, but she said that she ripped a tiara off a blond haired girl to get a tiara for prom. In the episode "Graduation on Deck", Mr. Moseby proposes to her.

Kirby Morris

Kirby Morris (Windell D. Middlebrooks) is the ship's security guard.^[3] He first appeared in Showgirls. He loves to eat junk food and can not get enough of it. Kirby never finished high school, so Zack and Cody help him study for the GED test allowing him to graduate. He then suffered through test anxiety as he couldn't get past the first question which was "Put name here". He played arena football and is a friend of Kurt Warner. (He also bit Kurt Warner's leg. "But I spit it back out," he says on the subject.) In Any Given Fantasy he coached Cody in football. In Seven Seas News he had a television show which was called Boat Cops which was exclusively made for the SS Tipton guests. In Rat Tales it is shown he likes rats and mice. He is shown to love grilled cheese sandwiches.

Maya Bennett

Maya Elizabeth Bennett^[4] (Zoey Deutch) is one of the ship's waitresses and helps Zack serve drinks. Zack has an obvious crush on her and she reciprocates but plays hard-to-get due to his 'hit-on-every-girl' attitude. She becomes the target of Zack's modified 6-month plan, originally designed by Cody. Zack eventually becomes friends with her due to receiving advice from Cody to be just friends first, then move on later. Maya catches on easily, as shown in My, Oh Maya, where after being on the SS Tipton for a single day, she already knows that Zack hits on every girl on the ship. In Das Boots when Woody, London, Zack and Maya become trapped in London's shoe submarine and when they are all about to die because of the lack of oxygen, Maya admits she really likes Zack too. When Cody rescues the group, Maya explains that she is not yet ready to become Zack's long-term girlfriend. In "My, Oh Maya", it is revealed that she is from New York. In Party On! Zack throws Maya a surprise birthday party, which results in the pair sharing a kiss. It is also revealed in that episode that Maya is born sometime between March and June, and that she is a huge fan of Sean Kingston. In "Love and War", Maya has become Zack's girlfriend. She is often mentioned, and did not reappear until "Snakes on a Boat". In "Snakes on a Boat", she was upset that Zack had dated many girls before her, but she had dated many other boys before Zack also. She then appears in the next episode, "Prom Night", where she goes to the prom with Zack. She decides to move away and, despite still deeply loving Zack, she breaks up with him in the series finale because the long distance between them wouldn't be fair for either of them.

Addison

Addison (Rachael Kathryn Bell) is a student at Seven Seas High and a friend of Bailey's as shown in the episode "Roomies". She is very hyperactive and addicted to candy, thus often talks very rapidly and in a rambling fashion that sometimes confuses other people. She appeared in the episodes "International Dateline", "Kitchen Casanova", "Goin' Bananas", "Marriage 101", "The Play's the Thing", "Prom Night" and "Graduation on Deck", and she was also mentioned in the episode "Flowers and Chocolate". In the episode "Goin' Bananas" it was shown that Addison also has a terrible fear of ping-pong balls.

Throughout her appearances on the show Addison and Woody have shown an attraction to each other. In the episode "Kitchen Casanova" Woody would take a home economics class in order to be close to her, and in "Goin' Bananas" they briefly end up dating via their characters in an online role-playing game without realizing it. In "Marriage 101" Addison marries Woody for a class assignment and Marcus became their baby. She also shows that she is good at arm wrestling and apparently weighs 73 pounds. She was Woody's date to Seven Seas High's senior prom, officially becoming his girlfriend afterwards, and would graduate with the rest of the class in the final episode "Graduation on Deck".

Carey Martin

Main article: Carey Martin

Carey Martin (Kim Rhodes) is Zack and Cody's mother and a singer. She appeared on the first episode "The Suite Life Sets Sail" and has since appeared in "Mom and Dad on Deck", "Trouble in Tokyo" and "Graduation on Deck". She was also a main character on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.

Mrs. Pepperman

Mrs. Pepperman (Lillian Adams) has appeared in three episodes. She first appeared in "Parrot Island" in the group of people that was angry for going to Parrot Island instead of Europe. She later appeared in "International Dateline" as a member of the senior citizens karate class. She was in the senior citizens activities class in "The Wrong Stuff". When things don't go her way she says a long and annoying "NOOOOOOO." She has only been in season 1 but is mentioned throughout the series.

Mr. Blanket

Mr. Blanket (Michael Hitchcock) is the guidance counselor at Seven Seas High and the ship's resident psychologist—he even wrote a book on counseling, though he has never actually studied psychology. He is known for his extremely unorthodox approaches to helping people with their issues, which he refers to as "the Blanket Method" where he does bizarre things like handcuffing Zack and Mr. Moseby to each other (this has often caused people such as Zack and London to call him crazy), but he has successfully helped various people on the SS Tipton deal with their problems. He is good at making dolls and once made dolls of Zack, Mr. Moseby, and Ms. Tutweiller (whom he has a crush on). He is obsessed with cupcakes. In the episode "The Defiant Ones" he falls off the ship, though he would later reappear in the episode "Mean Chicks". Mr. Blanket also has an addiction to sniffing rabbits. His degree is on the other side of a menu. Ms. Tutweiller filed a restraining order against him and is required to come "no closer than 100 feet".

Arwin Hawkhauser

Arwin Hawkhauser is the kooky engineer at the Tipton Hotel. He is a friend of Zack and Cody's and has a crush on their mother.

Mrs Gergely

Mrs. Gergely (uncredited), is an elderly passenger on the SS Tipton. She first appeared in the first-season episode "seaHarmony" and has appeared numerous times since. Her name was revealed to be Mrs. Gergely in the season 2 episode "London's Apprentice".^[5] She is most often seen in the background or when hitting someone with her purse, after they have said something that offends her or touched and or hurt her. She has apparently been a constant passenger on the SS Tipton throughout the series; in the third-season episode The Ghost and Mr. Martin, Zack remarks to her "When are you getting off this boat?!" She turns to the person next to her, gasps.

Moose

Moose (Hutch Dano) is Bailey's ex-boyfriend before she leaves Kansas. In Mulch Ado About Nothing, London invites Moose to the ship so Bailey isn't as homesick, making Cody angry. After Moose becomes elected to receive the Mulch Crown, he asks Bailey to return Kettlecorn, which upsets Cody. Cody then convinces a confused Bailey to follow her heart, and in turn, causes her to reject Moose's invite, saying he is too bossy and thinks what is right for her, which it isn't. In "Twister: Part 2", Cody and Moose compete to win Bailey back. When Bailey gets a dream of The Wizard of Oz, Moose is portrayed as the Scarecrow and when the group comes to a crossroad, Zack, a flying monkey servant to the Wicked Witch of the West and Woody, the Cowardly Lion (although he thinks he is Chewbacca from Star Wars) outnumber Cody, the Tin Man, on where they should go. Cody tells the group that Bailey hasn't made up her mind and, like in "Mulch to Do About Nothing", convinces Bailey to follow her heart. Bailey wakes up from the dream and tells Moose that he is a great guy, but her heart still belongs to Cody.
