Tom "Tommy Quincy" DuTois (played by Tim Rozon) is a fictional character from the Canadian TV show Instant Star. His family resides in New Brunswick, Canada.
Tommy Q was an original member of a boy band called Boyz Attack. The band broke up because of a feud between Tommy and Chad, the originator of the band. At the beginning, all the attention was on Chad, then the spotlight moved to Tommy. When Jude Harrison wins the Instant Star contest, Georgia (who ran G-Major Records at the time) pairs her with Tommy Q, who has become a brilliant producer. Jude is a little bit disappointed by the choice, calling him lame. Tommy, who is equally happy with his new charge, starts by making her play her new song, 24 Hours. He calls it boring and tells her to re write it. Thus begins the biggest and most complicated relationship in the show, the romantic interest between Tommy Q and Jude Harrison.
While Tommy Q was a member of Boyz Attack, he met and married Portia Mills (his manager Darius Mill's little sister). Soon, Tommy became involved with a back up singer, Angie. He fell in love with her and was planning on running away with her. Knowing this, Portia cut the brakes on Tommy's car. However, Darius had convinced Tommy to stay for his career and had broken up with Angie, who wound up driving away in Tommy's car, killing herself in the process. Darius covered up the crime and for the majority of three seasons (five years since it happened) Tommy held on to the belief that he had killed Angie.
On Jude's sixteenth birthday, after Shay dumps her, she asks Tommy what is wrong with her, why she can't get guys to fall in love with her. "You were asking the wrong guy," he says and kisses her. Tommy then tells her that either he could quit being her producer, or he could stay if they agree it didn't happen, breaking her heart for the second time that night. Tommy then starts dating Jude's older sister, Sadie.
In season two, Sadie dumps Tommy when she believes he cheated on her. For a while, due mostly to Jude pushing Tommy into a hot tub, their relationship is strained until Jude winds up spending her seventeenth birthday party locked in an abandoned building with Tommy. They wind up writing a song (Liar Liar) and they make up.
In season three, shortly before Jude's 18th birthday, Jude and Tommy get together. However, Angie's older brother has gotten out of jail and is hell-bent on revenge for Angie's death. Hunter (her brother) is certain only Tommy knows what happened that night and he is determined to find out. Hunter wants to destroy all that Tommy loves because he thought Tommy killed his sister (Angie). Because of this, at Jude's birthday party, Tommy acts like they are not together, hurting her, trying to protect her from him. Because of this, Tommy gets very drunk and Sadie takes him to a hotel room (the party is at a hotel). Trying to figure out who she has feelings for, Tommy or Kwest, she kisses Tommy. He was a little too out of it to stop her and Jude walked in. She dumps him. Sadie hadn't even known they were together.
At the end of Season three, the truth of Angie's death comes out and Portia is arrested. Tommy gives Jude a plane ticket and asks her to come away with him because he loves her. Jamie had already said something similar to Jude, forcing her to make a final decision on who she wants and loves.
Jude Harrison picks Tommy Q as her love interest and wants to develop a serious grown-up relationship.
In the beginning of season four Jude and Tommy are in love. This relationship goes well until Tommy's mother gets sick and he has to go home to take care of her. He doesn't want Jude to go with him because his home isn't like her home. After 5 weeks and three days of Tommy being gone she realizes she needs him and goes to his hometown to be with him. Tommy is upset that she came without asking but lets her stay. Tommy goes to a bar with some friends and gets into a fight because they were making comments about Jude. he winds up in jail and tells Jude he's not good enough for her and they break up. When Tommy comes back to G-major after this fiasco, him and Jude have it out about the break up. Jude posting a tell-all about Tommy and Tommy calling her poison and to stay away from him. At the end they make up and are back to being friends. This doesn't last long and by the second to last episode they're back together.
In the series finale Tommy and Jude are back together again and everything is right, until Jude gets a job offer in London. Tommy decides he will go with her and "be her normal". He proposes to her and she says yes, but after thinking about it she breaks it off and decides she wants to do the London thing on her own, ending the series and the relationship between the two.
