You asked why David and Maria never became an official couple? It's a rather sad story. David's actor Northern Calloway's suffered from mental health problems that caused him to act erratically on set and even get arrested once (which prevented him from being able to travel to Canada to film "Follow that Bird"). Although he sought help the writers knew he wouldn't be on the show for much longer, Maria hooked up with Luis. Indeed Mr. Calloway would pass away in 1990 at New York mental health hospital less than year after his final appearance on the show.

Yep.

Thanks for the info and I appreciate your deep dive into the blog/tags!
