In Fool Me Once, Eddie Walker is Claire’s husband and Maya’s brother-in-law. Marcus Garvey plays Eddie.
After losing Claire, Eddie struggles to move on. He becomes an alcoholic with a trash can full of bottles.
He won’t get rid of Claire’s boxes either, though he keeps claiming that he will soon. Maya worries about his condition and is concerned about his children.
Maya and Eddie don’t share a great relationship. However, during the course of the show, Maya grows to trust Eddie to the point where she knows that he will take good care of her daughter, Lily, if something happens to her.
Eddie’s relationship with Claire
Eddie reveals that Claire and he were going through a rough patch, as Claire was always busy working with Joe.
Eddie had come to believe that he is not enough for Claire, and he even suspected that Claire and Joe are having an affair.
Eddie lost his way after Claire’s death. On the night Joe died, he stumbled into a woman, but the memories of Claire won’t let him get close to her.
A great father
Later, when Maya honestly tells Eddie everything Claire was up to, it instills confidence in Eddie.
The honesty further fixes Maya and Eddie’s relationship. Maya assures Eddie that he is a good father, and she only trusts him with Lily if something happens to her. Hence, she can’t have him fall apart.
As expected of him, Eddie proves to be a great father to Abby and Dan and a great uncle to Lily.
However, Eddie keeps doubting whether he will ever be able to be available to his kids emotionally.
Eddie learns a thing or two about being a good father. Moving on, he also invites Abby and Dan’s half-brother, Louis, home and pitches to help Louis meet his father.
After Maya’s death, Eddie looks after Lily and watches her grow up to be like her mother, along with his kids.
