Character historyEdit

Season oneEdit

Maeby, like many girls, had a crush on Steve Holt. When she heard he was trying out for the male lead in Much Ado About Nothing she auditioned opposite. However, the roles got switched around by Tobias's poor directing and George Michael almost ended up kissing Steve Holt. In the end, Maeby did kiss him but because he was wearing Lindsay's perfume and dress she did not enjoy it. ("Bringing Up Buster") Steve later attends the Diversity Dance at his high school and acts as a bouncer until he asks Maeby to dance. She shouts "Steve Holt!" upon his offer. ("Shock and Aww")

Season twoEdit

Steve Holt becomes a gift-basket delivery boy and Maeby, once again attracted to him, begins ordering many baskets to get close to him. Lindsay, in her open relationship, is also attracted to him so Maeby sabotages her mother's flirtation by telling Steve that Lindsay is a transvestite. ("Sad Sack") Steve returns briefly to deliver bag-and-boil dinners to George in the model home's attic. ("Burning Love")

When George Michael expresses interest in running for senior class president Michael enlists G.O.B.'s help to play dirty to de-thrown Steve, who has held the post for the past three years. G.O.B. makes an attack video, pointing out that Steve Holt doesn't know who his father is. Steve's video, which was made by Ann, shows regret about not knowing his father. Steve wins the election but declines the position so he can spend time looking for his real father. In a teaser, it is revealed that Steve's real father is G.O.B.. ("The Immaculate Election")

Season threeEdit

In his pursuit to be reunited with his true father, Steve uses an organization called S.A.D.. G.O.B. arrives, looking for George, Sr. and Steve arrives, not remembering that G.O.B. is his father. The two spend the day doing brother-and-brother activities before G.O.B. realizes who Steve is and flees. ("The Cabin Show")

G.O.B. tries to be a better father than George was to him, so he spends more time with Steve Holt bonding. G.O.B. continues to be reluctant to be a father and when Steve shows an interest in magic during his Free Chicken Illusion, G.O.B. sabotages George's escape plans for his own chance to escape from having a meaningful relationship. ("For British Eyes Only")

George Michael discovers that Steve is G.O.B.'s son and therefore Maeby's cousin. She and Steve are dating and are about ready to take the next step, so at school George Michael reveals the family tie to Steve. George Michael also warns Maeby, but Maeby called things off due to her own personal fears. ("Forget-Me-Now")

G.O.B. signs up for a Father-Son Triathlon at the Church and State Fair, but dumps the responsibilities on Michael. Michael, trying to prove to Rita that he is not a "pussy", and Steve train incredibly hard for the race and take Oxycontin. The race turns out to be severely easy but the duo win. Steve tells Michael that he just pretended it was going to be difficult to spend fake father-and-son time with Michael. ("Notapusy")

George stirs up deep sibling rivalry between G.O.B. and Michael so G.O.B. opens a Banana Shack opposite the Banana Stand on Oceanside Wharf. The two stands compete ruthlessly until the brothers realize what has happened and decide to turn their efforts on their father. ("Making a Stand")
