Coy Duke

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coy Duke (Byron Cherry) (1982-1983 season of The Dukes of Hazzard), the replacement for Bo, was another blond-haired cousin who moved to Uncle Jesse's farm along with cousin Vance (Christopher Mayer) after Bo and Luke left Hazzard to join the NASCAR circuit.

[edit] Fictional character biography

Supposedly, with cousin Vance, he had previously lived on the Duke farm until 1976, before the series had started. Coy was somewhat more prone to falling in love with the various women that he met during his adventures, and the conflict of interest between his love and his family drove most of the plots during his brief stint on the air.

[edit] Being written out of The Dukes of Hazzard

Both characters proved to be unpopular with fans and were written out after 19 episodes.

Cherry and Mayer replaced John Schneider and Tom Wopat while the latter two were in contract negotiations.
