A later addition to the cast, Ray Mckinnon played Carlene’s ex-husband, Dwayne. The guy seemed to one no-good individual. It became clear quite quickly why Carlene left him.
Mckinnon portrayed the sleazy car salesman and made it easy for fans to dislike him. Carlene sure did dodge a bullet with that one.
Dolly Parton As Herself
When the show gained enough success, creators always had someone special in mind to bring on the show. That was none other than the legendary country singer, Dolly Parton. The songbird had always been a fan of the show, so you can imagine just how excited she was when she was asked.
And so it would be, on New Year's Eve, Dolly joined the team as the special guest by appearing in Charlene's dream and hinted at something that eventually would come to be - Charlene would have a daughter.

Patrick Warburton As Craig Coleman
Patrick Warburton was the quintessential ladies man of the '80s so it was only fitting that he would be cast in the role Craig Coleman, one of the many, but probably more notable love interests of Mary Jo.
Unfortunately, his lack of intelligence, a problem many hunky beefcakes are afflicted with, was the reason that it just couldn't last with Mary Jo. With that said, even though it was short, that was one hot affair.
