Hey, I just got to wondering. What do you think would've happened if Lucy and Desi never divorced? Do you think they could've worked their problems out eventually? Do you think Desi could've stopped drinking and got some help? Do you think that Lucille Ball would've still done her other shows "The Lucy Show and Here's Lucy"? Maybe Desi could've co-produced all of The Lucy Show instead of just the first 12 episodes. What do you think The Lucy Show would've been like if Desi Arnaz had stayed with them? Could he have played Lucy Carmicheals husband? The Lucy Show could've given Lucy and Desi a fresh start since they had done ILL for so long. Please let me know your ideas. Thanks.

I don't think that could have ever happened. Does was know as a lady's man..meaning he cheated alot so I just can't picture them staying together.

That's right. He was too much of an alcoholic, he cheated on Lucy countless times and they were always fighting. It just wouldn't have worked out. Too bad the BEST television couple EVER, had to split up :(

With a jubilant marriage such as that, we known that they couldn't have stayed together - it's somewhat reminiscent of Caesar and Cleopatra; a very jubilant marriage of their time and they split after multiple affairs (on both parties).

If they didn't divorce, I don't think they would have been such good friends as they were in their last decades. They would have been unhappy and angry with eachother, mean and nasty, they wouldn't like eachother as it was shown that they did in the '80s.

Just my $0.02.

I was going to say the same thing. I think the divorce strengthened their relationship.
