He was a heartthrob during the 80s and played several people's boyfriends on TV. He would have been perfect to play a boyfriend for her but it was more realistic for her to marry someone who was normal looking like Mark.

George Clooney was good looking back in the day. ;) But as for him being Barbara's love interest. George didn't start till mid to late eighties. ODAAT was already off the air.

His first "credit" is

Centennial (TV Mini-Series)
Village Extra (uncredited) 1978

so its possible he could have went to some audition and got it, but, yeah, things didn't really start moving for him till after the show was off the air.

Barabara from Bora Bora ( see thread title)!!!
