The show was internally inconsistent as to Eddie's full real name. In the episode in which he and Carla are married, his full name is stated as being "Édouard Raymond LeBec". However, in a later episode, Carla states that his name is not "Édouard", but rather is "Guy", and that "Eddie" is simply a nickname by which he is called "because it sounds too weenie to say 'Guy'".

Jay Thomas was never a cast regular, and thus Eddie was not often seen. Initially, the writers handled this by having Eddie retire from hockey and take a job with a traveling ice show, thus requiring him to be away from Boston most of the time. In 1989, Eddie was written out of the show entirely. The official reason given was negative viewer reaction to Carla's being married, but in 2006, Ken Levine, one of the writers of Cheers, claimed on his weblog that Thomas was written off the show when he insulted Rhea Perlman, who played Carla, on his radio show while she happened to be listening.^[1] Ken Levine is writer, director and producer in the television and film industry. ...

The episode titled "Death Takes A Holiday On Ice," deals with Eddie's unfortunate demise: he was run over by a Zamboni while pushing a fellow cast member out of the way. At the funeral Carla learned that Eddie had a mistress, Gloria, who lived in Kenosha, Wisconsin. As a result of the affair, Gloria had become pregnant and Eddie, despite being already married to Carla, felt obliged to also marry Gloria. At Eddie's funeral, Carla and Gloria learn of each other for the first time and wind up in a catfight with one another over the issue of which of the two is the "real" Mrs. LeBec. In anger, Carla took back her first married name, Tortelli. During their relationship Carla and Eddie had a set of twin sons: Elvis and Jesse.
