In Karen's Paper Route he and Charlie pick up Kristy and Karen's paper route after he gets fired when the store over hired.

He teases and jokes around a lot with David Michael. Sam is a champion practical joker and also a troublemaker, who gets detention. He helps Kristy play a practical joke on Betsy Sobak in Claudia and the Bad Joke.

He went out with Stacey McGill a few times, but considers her a friend.

In Kristy's Big News, he was invited to his father's wedding and he wanted to go. Kristy makes a remark that he really wanted to go on a free trip to California and was neutral talking about the wedding. He had tried hard to get to know his dad and talk to him.

Trivia[]

Media Portrayals[]

The Baby-Sitters Club (Netflix series)[]

Sam is played by actor Dylan Kingwell. In this adaptation, he has dark brown hair and hazel eyes, and seems to be a mix of both his older brother, Charlie, and his younger sister, Kristy. Despite Kristy having been the most affected by their father's abandonment as of Season 1, it is shown in Season 2 that Sam has a very big grudge against the man. He is the only Thomas sibling that doesn't want to meet his father when given the opportunity. This a contrast to his book counterpart who did want to see his dad in Kristy's Big News.
