This is a list of recurring characters in the sitcom Cheers, which originally ran from 1982 to 1993.
A number of recurring characters were "barflies", i.e. they hung out at the bar nearly as much as Norm and Cliff. Generally speaking, the barflies only received a line or two in any given appearance, and did not figure in the plots—although there are exceptions to this rule, notably with the characters of Paul Krapence and Tom Babson. The character of Cliff was originally a recurring "barfly" character, but was quickly developed into a featured character.
In the order in which they joined the cast, barflies who were seen in more than three episodes were:
Father Barry (Eric Christmas) was a priest who appeared in several episodes. He presided over Eddie LeBec's funeral and gave spiritual advice to the main characters, most notably when Sam swears to God he will forgo sex forever if the child of an ex-lover isn't his.
Boggs (Duncan Ross) is the chauffeur to Diane's mother, Helen Chambers (Glynis Johns). In "Someone Single, Someone Blue" (1983), Boggs repeatedly asks Diane to be his wife to help Helen keep her inheritance under Diane's father Spencer Chambers's will. When the time expires and Diane is still single, Helen loses all the wealth. Fortunately, as he admits, Boggs embezzled a substantial amount of the Chambers fortune in the past and has money still remaining. Then he proposes to be Helen's husband, and Helen accepts. In season two, after Diane's huge breakup from Sam, Boggs takes Diane back from psychiatric hospital to her apartment. He notifies her that Helen felt uncomfortable contacting Diane while Diane was in the ward.
Kelly Susan Gaines Boyd (Jackie Swanson) is Woody Boyd’s love interest (and later wife) from the seventh season. She appeared in twenty-four episodes.
Kelly and Woody first meet in the thirteenth episode of the seventh season. Woody and Sam are bartending at a private party to celebrate Kelly’s return from Europe. Kelly is a rich and sheltered girl, but Woody is able to open her eyes to new experiences, the first being a monster truck pull. Again in Kelly’s third appearance in the nineteenth episode of the seventh season, Woody teaches her a lesson from his world. Instead of buying her an expensive gift for her birthday, he writes her a memorable song.
