The Disney show Phineas and Ferb was an instant hit when it aired back in 2007. However, even after all those years, fans of the show like me have always been wondering about one important thing: Who is Phineas real dad and why is he never shown on the show?
I still remember the countless days I and my friends have spent discussing fan theories on who might be Phineas’ real father. Today I will settle this debate for once and all.
Who is Phineas Real Dad
In the show’s four seasons and many other films, there is no information about Phineas’ real dad or what has happened to him. Therefore, the identity of who is Phineas’ real dad still remains a mystery.
Why Do We Never See Phineas Real Dad
The real reason why we never see Phineas’ real dad is because the creators of the show Dan Povenmire and Jeff Marsh, always wanted the Flynn-Fletcher family to be a blended family.
When asked about when they will reveal the identity of Phineas’ real dad, the creators said that the kid’s parents are not important to the plot of the show and that all we need to know is that they are an amazing blended family.
They also said that the real parents of the kids were never meant to be a part of the show. This is why they will not reveal the true identity of Phineas’ real dad.
Why Did the Creators Create a Blended Family in the Show
The creators made the Flynn-Fletcher family into a blended family because Jeff belongs to a blended family. On the other hand, all his friends belonged to divorced households.
Jeff also felt that blended families were not represented by cartoons and he wanted to change that.
Is Doofenshmirtz Phineas Real Father
Heinz Doofenshmirtz is the main villain of the show. Since the beginning of the show, fans have theorized that Doofenshmirtz is Phineas’ real dad because of many reasons.
Firstly, Doofenshmirtz and Phineas have many similarities. Both of them have triangle-shaped heads and ginger-brown colored hair. And they both are great mechanics.
Also in one episode of the show, Linda dated Doofenshmirtz before getting married to Lawrence. This indicates that Doofenshmirtz might be Phineas’ real dad.
However, the creators of the show have said that Doofenshmirtz is not the real dad of Phineas in any way.
Was Phineas Real Dad a Good Father
Many fans think that Phineas’ father was a workaholic and that he fought with Linda all the time. They also think that he left Linda when she was pregnant with Phineas.
It has been seen that before leaving he gave Candace the Duckie Momo doll. It is the only good memory that she has of her real father.
Who is Phineas Stepfather in the Show
Lawrence Fletcher is Phineas’ stepfather in the show. After Phineas’ real father left, Linda met Lawrence.
The two dated for a short amount of time and quickly fell in love. They got married on June 15 and have been together ever since.
Phineas and Ferb: The Flynn-Fletcher family
In Phineas and Ferb, we see the misadventures carried out by the main characters Phineas Flynn and Ferb Fletcher during their summer vacations.
Apart from Phineas and Ferb, the Flynn-Fletcher family is made up of Candace (Phineas’ sister), Linda (Phineas’ mother), Lawrence (Ferb’s father), and Perry ( the secret agent platypus pet).
