In season 5, the writers revisited a plotline that they used a few years prior and decided to permanently pair him with Jackie Burkhart. Despite initially loathing Jackie for all that she represents (the brainless, spoilt, fashion-obsessed rich), he has his first real romance of the series with her. When the show started Eric and Hyde both had feelings for Donna Pinciotti (Laura Prepon) but the storyline was dropped.

In season 7 it was established that the man that Hyde thought was his father was not, due to a typical sitcom mix-up, or because of the fact that Hyde's mother was known to sleep around. Tim Reid (of WKRP in Cincinnati) was brought on in a recurring role as William Barnett, Hyde's true father who is African-American, Hyde says this explains his "righteous afro and hatred of the man". His father owns a chain of record stores called Grooves and Hyde runs the shop that is in Point Place, Wisconsin, the setting of the show. Hyde also has a half-sister named Angie who slept with Michael Kelso.
