Steven "Steve" Bartholomew Rhoades was Marcy's first husband. Much like the name "Bundy" the creators chose the surname "Rhoades" after a professional wrestler, in this case "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes (whose real name, incidentally, is Virgil Runnels Jr.). He is a mortgage broker who seems unfazed by his lower position than Marcy at The Leadng Bank of Chicago (when Marcy moves up to a high position at another bank, Kyoto National Bank, he gets promoted into her former job).
