ABOUT:
William
Bauer arrived in Springfield
in 1966. He decided to go by his middle name, Ed, instead of his given
name.
Ed
was determined to make a name for himself in the medical field throughout his
time in Springfield
and abroad. A fiercely dedicated professional, Ed spent a great portion of his
life in or around a hospital setting.
Ed has a reputation
for infidelity. However, when he was just getting started on his
own he was shocked to learn that his father had an adulterous relationship.
When he confronted his parents about it, they both shrugged it off. One might
guess that this was part of the reason Ed cheated on his second wife, Maureen.
Some might also speculate that this was the reason he treated the majority of
women in his life in such a crummy way.
Ed
was stubborn and sure of himself when it came to medicine. When one of his
patients, a
young woman, died on the operating table, he became extremely distraught over it.
Ed turned to the bottle and became an alcoholic as his father was before him.
Through the years, Ed has battled this disease on and off.
Ed
has always been a supportive person to those who needed him, whether it was a
wife, child or friend. He served as a great help to others in town battling
addictions of their own.
Ed
in his later years was once again focusing on his career as a doctor, as opposed
to the every-day stresses of life. When he returned to town for Michelle
and Danny's wedding, he got together romantically with Holly. They left town on
a world trip.
