Character Information
|
Colin is an 8 year old Irish boy and was a love interest of Lisa. He reveals that he and his family have just moved to Springfield from Ireland and that his father is a musician and humanitarian, but strenuously denies it's Bono from U2. His family is never seen but he did mention him.
Colin and Lisa first met coincidentally whilst trying to inform Springfieldians, in a door-to-door manner, of the pollution in Lake Springfield. They overhear one another and soon begin to finish each others sentences on pollution. Lisa calls him dreamy whilst speaking to the town about the pollution in Lake Springfield.
During Trappuccino, due to an ensuing mob that comes after the Simpsons, Lisa is forced to leave Colin behind. As a goodbye Colin wrote a song entitled 'Lisa's Song' which he performs with his guitar, but unfortunately she cannot hear due to the Dome's thick glass wall. He then writes out the notes in marker on the glass so Lisa can understand the tune, which she does. After making sure Bart doesn't ruin the moment by punching him, she reluctantly leaves. Once Lisa returns to Springfield at the end of the movie Milhouse claims that Colin died, making a poor mimic of his voice to try to get Lisa to hold his hand due to his own feelings for her. He then appears to Lisa's delight and they walk off together to get some Ice-cream whilst holding hands. Colin hasn't appeared since and was a fan with many people as he could continue as Lisa's love interest. However he has yet to make an appearance in an episode.
He claims to be musically proficient in many instruments including: piano, guitar, trumpet, drums and bass guitar. He has a keen interest in fighting pollution.
