On Cheers, Rebecca Howe’s millionaire boyfriend was Robin Colcord.
Robin is introduced as a wealthy English businessman who becomes Rebecca’s romantic interest during the show’s eighth season. Played by Roger Rees, he initially appears charming, sophisticated, and deeply interested in Rebecca. His wealth is a major part of his appeal, especially because Rebecca is frequently anxious about status, security, and success.
The relationship becomes complicated when Sam Malone discovers that Robin is secretly using information from Rebecca’s computer to help engineer a corporate takeover. Robin’s romance therefore turns into one of the series’ most memorable business schemes. He later becomes a wanted white-collar criminal and eventually surrenders to the authorities.
Robin proposes to Rebecca after his release, and she accepts, but the engagement collapses at their wedding. Rebecca admits that she loved him largely because of his money, and Robin retrieves six million dollars hidden beneath her desk at Cheers. The character is sometimes remembered simply as “Robin,” but Robin Colcord is the full canonical name.
