Hawkeye was a confirmed bachelor for most of the show's run, exemplifying the show's hedonistic spirit. He never sees a woman for more than one episode. Except in two cases, and both were with 4077 nurses named Margaret. The first was with Margie Cutler, who was played by a pre-Welcome Back Kotter Marcia Strassman, who Hawkeye dates for three episodes, and then he dumps her. And then there was Margaret Houlihan, who Hawkeye has a tryst with in Comrades in Arms parts 1 and 2, and then Hawkeye dumps her, only for the two of them to reunite in the series finale for an extended TV kiss; actually one of the longest TV kisses ever up to that point. In both cases the tryst ends when the woman tries to get serious with Hawk, and then he ditches her. (Maybe this was to serve Alda's ego, since he had the majority of creative control on the show at this point.) Incidentally, the Comrades in Arms story arc was originally going to come sooner in the show, in Season one or two, but the writers didn't feel like they had "earned" that plot development yet. They felt more time needed to pass, showing the chemistry and the love/hate chemistry growing before it suddenly exploded into passion.
