History
Travers is the son of series regular Edie Britt and her first husband Charles McLain. He lives with his father full time.
Travers was first mentioned in the pilot episode of the series, when he was said to be staying with the now deceased Martha Huber at the time as Edie Britt (his mother) was 'entertaining' Mike Delfino that night. However, in what was thought of as a plot inconsistency, he was never seen nor mentioned until the sixteenth episode of the third season.
His father Charles McLain left him with Edie whilst he goes on a trip to Africa. Edie tried to leave Travers with Carlos while she goes to a party, but as Carlos had a date, he declined until he discovers Edie left Travers alone. Seeing Travers playing by himself in the street, Carlos brings him inside, and he criticizes an intoxicated Edie for not supervising her son. She later reveals that she didn't take custody of him because she wasn't capable of it and was being a realistic mother.
