John Allen Hill
John Allen Hill (Keene Curtis) is the owner of Melville's, the seafood restaurant located directly above Cheers. Though Melville's was mentioned a lot throughout the series, Hill did not first appear until season nine (during which he bought the restaurant and first became its owner.)
Hill is a pompous, uptight old man who has a deep disdain for the Cheers gang, and considers them to be low-class. In the season nine episode entitled "Achilles Hill," Sam dated Hill's daughter Valerie as a way to get back at Hill for his evil attitude towards the Cheers bar. He and Carla have a complicated love-hate relationship; they frequently insult and curse at each other even during their frequent bouts of sex.
