He was a novelty salesman and not a successful one. This never deflated the oblivious Stan, however. On the other hand, Sophia, Dorothy's mother, was downright hostile to him. Dorothy, albeit reluctantly, would usually offer advice or words of sympathy, with the occasional barb thrown in for good measure.ĭorothy's roommates, Blanche and Rose, barely tolerated him, but Rose showed some kindness to him from time to time. Stan would come to the house whenever something had gone wrong in his life (which happened often), when he needed money (which also happened often) and when he needed Dorothy's shoulder to cry on. Stanley made several appearances on the show from time to time, usually showing up on the doorstep, saying his trademark lines, "Hiya babe," and "Hi, it's me, Stan", which would result in the door being slammed in his face or Dorothy uttering a cry of exasperation. When Dorothy meets Stan's bride-to-be Katherine and finds her to be a nice person, she realizes her time with Stan was in the past and lets him go. She tries to tell Stan on his wedding day but Blanche and Rose stop her. This makes Dorothy realize she still loves him.
When Sophia gets hospitalized due to pneumonia, Stan became Dorothy's unlikely rock, comforting her and staying with her in the hospital, even demanding answers from Sophia's doctor when Dorothy was given the runaround. In a later episode, Stan gets engaged to Katherine and Dorothy initially wishes him well. At one point, Stan sought Dorothy for comfort when Chrissy left him for a younger man he and Dorothy subsequently had a one-night stand with each other, but it didn't lead to a reconciliation. This seemed to clear the air somewhat and Dorothy's hatred gradually softened into mild annoyance where Stan was concerned. This stemmed from the fact Stan had decided to have his lawyer call Dorothy and tell her he was getting a divorce after leaving her, which Stan couldn't do face-to-face with Dorothy. At this point, Dorothy was still extremely resentful towards her ex and confronted him after the ceremony to give him a piece of her mind. Stan made his first appearance on the show in the first season, attending the wedding of his and Dorothy's daughter, Kate. In fact, their first encounter resulted in the pregnancy is said, by Dorothy, to have taken only three seconds. Dorothy's mother, Sophia, preferred the term "Bagiagaloop." On numerous occasions, Dorothy also lamented his inconsistency at making love, namely his "timing". She has called him a "dirtbag," "barf bag," "yellow-bellied sleazeball" and a "big bald girl" among various epithets. Stan was also married to a woman named Katherine ( Elinor Donahue) but that marriage also disintegrated.ĭorothy had her own terms for him. He left Dorothy after he had an affair with a flight attendant named Chrissy ( Simone Griffith), whom he later married and divorced. He stayed married to Dorothy for 38 years, but he had affairs with his secretary and one-night stands with a waitress and another woman. In one episode, they were said to have honeymooned in Miami, while in another episode, it was said to be the Poconos.
Dorothy claimed the only reason she went out with him is because he claimed he was being shipped off to Korea and "would probably die".
