Lucy and Eddie.

Of her official boyfriends he is the worst. It's not just how he ends up treating her — it's the fact that she falls for him in the first place. He comes off as creepy and sleazy from day one, so it's hard to understand what she could possibly see in him.

What saves this plot on rewatch, at least for me, is that the actors who played Eddie and Betty had stable careers after Dallas, and it's interesting to see them in their early acting days. It's always a plus to have good actors in a weak plot.

I loved Eddie and Betty. I’d have liked a Hot Biscuit spin-off. Eddie’s definitely in my top two or three of Lucy’s love/lust interests.

And then they did such a similar story with Lucy and Casey Denault too

And before both, there was the Alan Beam storyline, not too different either.

Because Eddie was hot.
Alan and Casey too.

And young women often fall for "creepy and sleazy" guys.

Lucy was a loser magnet.

Lucy wasn't exactly a winner her own bad self.

I think what made Eddie so unlikable was that he was deceiving Lucy. He was two-timing her and was trying to use her for her money.

Then again Alan Beam was doing pretty much the same. At least Eddie was not under JR's influence.

I think the best guys Lucy dated was Mitch and Mickey.
