Blankston

Blankston
Type: Bell Buoy Number: 6

Blankston is a buoy Theodore helped steer Elo Echo away from a dangerous rock.

Bio

Whenever Bedford is sick, Blankston can always share his spot like he did in the episodes Different Strokes - Different Boats, and Theodore the Vegetable.

Identity

As it turns out, Blankston is not an actual character, and was the subject of fans misremembering him and the other Buoys. His name dated back to 2008, where very little information on the show was known, with only a handful of screenshots from unknown episodes.

Livery

Blankston is coloured red and white just like Bedford and Bingham. He is said to be marker buoy number 6, so he also has the aforementioned number painted in red on his side.
