| Role in Cheers | Hockey Player/ Ice Skater |
| Portrayed by | Jay Thomas |
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, the writers realized that the public didn't like the idea of Carla being married so they killed him off the show.
The episode titled "Death Takes A Holiday On Ice," deals with Eddie's unfortunate demise: getting run over by a Zamboni. At the funeral Carla learned that Eddie had a mistress, Gloria. 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. Carla in anger took back her first married name, Tortelli. During their relationship Carla and Eddie had a set of twin sons: Elvis and Jesse.
