Ted Davies was the principal of Hollyoaks Community College. In February 2000, Mr. Davies investigated teacher Christine Woodhead's claims that she was being sexually harassed by student Adam Morgan, suspending Adam. However, at the tribunal, both Adam's ex-girlfriend Geri Hudson and caretaker Matt Musgrove revealed that they saw the pair together on several occasions, resulting in Christine's firing but a mere apology to Adam from Mr. Davies. In June 2000, Mr. Davies furiously confronted Anna Green over trashing the computer lab after discovering Sam Smallwood and Nikki Sullivan's affair, evicting her from the Hall of Residence.
In February 2002, Mr. Davies attended a 'Splash for Cash' event held for Adam, who had been left paralysed following a car accident with Mandy Richardson at New Year's. The event was poorly received by the student, who accused the college of looking down upon him as a "charity case".
In June 2009, Mr. Davies was visited by Hayley Ramsey and Rhys Ashworth, to apply for funding from Hollyoaks Community College to raise the money needed to record a music demo for Rob Mackie for their band 'Dirty Diegos'. Rhys and Hayley argued as they waited outside of Mr. Davies's office and decided to make separate pitches. Mr. Davies was impressed, believing that they had "colluded" to give themselves more time to wear him down. However, Hayley and Rhys continued bickering. Mr. Davies told Rhys that he wasn't eligible for any kind of grant as he was no longer a student at HCC, whilst he told Hayley that he had little confidence that the band was worth investing school funds in.
