Marcy Rhoades (Later D'Arcy)

Marcy D'Arcy (played by Amanda Bearse), Marcy Rhoades from episodes 0101–0512, is Peggy's best friend, Al's nemesis, and the family's next door neighbor. Though she considers herself to be better than the Bundy family, Marcy often sinks to their level.

She originally worked as a loan officer at the city bank (in a higher position than her husband, Steve) and then as the manager of the Kyoto National Bank since the second season. But for a brief time, she was demoted to drive-up window teller as punishment for approving a loan Al could not repay (in fact the purpose was to make Al able to repay a previous loan approved by Steve, but Al instead turned this loan into his "shoe hotline" project as well, and lost it too). She wins back her old job after "frugging" on her boss's desk for 20 minutes, clad only in a slip, while the other drive-up window tellers tossed quarters at her. Marcy has stated that she holds a bachelor's degree double majoring in business and economics.

Initially during the first few seasons, Marcy was a sweet, wholesome newlywed, but years of living next to the Bundys apparently transformed her into a warped character almost as outrageous and vicious as them. She contemptuously bickered with Al, and reveled in his misery. One of the main reasons for her hatred of Al is his chauvinistic and misogynistic view of women.
