Eddie Houseman is the junior partner in the Gray & Houseman Construction Company, alongside Bob Gray. He's also Tin-Tin Kyrano's old flame.
Eddie appears in End of the Road, when he visits Tracy Island to catch up with Tin-Tin, and later on gets in a spot of trouble after a monsoon threatens to destroy his construction company's latest road project in Malaysia.
Biography[]
A Visit to Tracy Island[]
Eddie's done his part by blasting a pathway through the mountains, so he takes a short vacation. He flies off in his jet, to visit an old flame – Tin-Tin – at her home, on Tracy Island.
A Deadly Night-Time Mission[]
The mountain range is crumbling into the pathway cleared by Eddie, and will never survive the monsoon. When Eddie hears the news, he immediately returns to the worksite. Realizing that Gray & Houseman is finished if the deadline in their contract for the new road is not met, Eddie furtively – and recklessly – sets off in the explosives truck to plant charges on the unstable peak...
Rescue[]
- Main article: The Rescue of Eddie Houseman
Teetering on the edge of the mountain ledge, Eddie has saved the road from the monsoon - but with his truck still full of explosives, and ready to fall into the roadway below, Eddie is not out of trouble yet. But when the call goes out to International Rescue, the rescuers face a dilemma - Eddie knows their secret identity, and any rescue attempts puts their security in jeopardy...
Puppet[]
- The Eddie Houseman puppet was never used again on the show, but Tin-Tin's portrait appeared briefly at Dunsley Tracker, in the episode Cry Wolf.
- In the shot where Eddie rolls through the mud after jumping off the Explosives Truck, he is played by the Scott Tracy "blinker" puppet previously seen in Sun Probe.
- A behind-the-scenes photo shows that a substitute was also used for the shot of Eddie inside the cockpit of his airplane.
