Loretta Tortelli - John Allen Hill

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.

Famous quotes containing the words allen and/or hill:

    You got a lotta nerve
    To say you are my friend
    When I was down
    You just stood there grinning.
    Bob Dylan [Robert Allen Zimmerman] (b. 1941)

    ‘O glorious Life, Who dwellest in earth and sun,
    I have lived, I praise and adore Thee.”
    A sword swept.
    Over the pass the voices one by one
    Faded, and the hill slept.
    Sir Henry Newbolt (1862–1938)
