| - Rodney is the younger half-brother of Derek "Del Boy" Trotter. "Rodders", as he is affectionately known by his big brother, has stuck by Del through thick and thin. Rodney is not as streetwise as his brother. Del's comments whenever Rodney makes a mistake have become notable catchphrases throughout the series. They include "Plonker", "Wally", "Twonk", "Dipstick" and "Tart". Rodney is the son of Joan Mavis Trotter, grandson of Edward Trotter, and great nephew of Albert Trotter. He has a nephew named Damien, and a daughter named Joan named after his mother. Throughout the series, Rodney's assumed father was Reg Trotter, although his actual paternity was occasionally called into question, such as in the 1983 and 1987 Christmas specials "Thicker Than Water" and "The Frog's Legacy" due to the unavoidable fact that he shared little resemblance to either Del or Reg in terms of appearance or personality. In the final Only Fools and Horses episode, the 2003 Christmas special "Sleepless in Peckham", Rodney discovered through an old photograph of the very first Jolly Boys' Outing that he and Del did not actually share the same father. His biological father was revealed to be local gentleman thief, Freddie "The Frog" Robdal, who had an affair with Rodney's mother in March 1960, and Rodney immediately knew this due to Robdal's striking resemblance to him. This is confirmed in the prequel series "Rock & Chips". In the episode's final scene, Rodney asks Del if he is anything like Robdal, but Del denies it, labelling Robdal several names like a "thief", a "conman", a "liar" and a "cheat", none of which apply to Rodney. Rodney lives with Cassandra, their daughter Joan, Del, Del's "significant other" Raquel and their son Damien at door 368 on the 12th floor of the fictional Nelson Mandela House in Dockside Estate, Peckham, London.
