Answer:
Eddie LeBec
Thomas played Eddie LeBec, a goalie for the Boston Bruins. Very superstitious, he ordered a specific drink when he came in before a game. Carla fell in love and the two became a couple. Eddie's career fell apart, which the equally superstitious Carla thought was her fault, but he stuck around and married her. Everyone thought him to be a man of good character, but we found out when he died that he was secretly a polygamist. Thomas, equally famous as a radio host and actor, was written out of the show following alleged negative remarks on his radio show, causing his character's unseemly demise.
