What happened to Mike and Gloria, did they stay together?
As you may recall, Archie and Edith go out to California to see Gloria, Mike and Joey for Christmas (“California Here We Are” episodes 195 & 196 December 1978). At this point Mike and Gloria are living apart. They pretend to be together for the Holiday visit, but a 2am argument brings out the truth. The two-part episode ends with them agreeing to try it again. But then what? Well, we can assume things were OK for a while, but a few years later, after Edith’s death, Gloria shows up at “Archie Bunker’s Place,” single and ready to start a new life. Mike left her to live in a commune. With Sally Struthers back in her role as Gloria Bunker-Stivic, on September 26, 1982 the series “Gloria” debut. In the series, Gloria worked as a veterinary assistant in up-state New York. “Gloria” was cancelled after the first season. Christian Jacobs played Joey Stivic. Jacobs is still acting, in addition to being the lead singer of California based band “The Aquabats.
