Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor: Difference between revisions

* Subverted in ''[[Frasier]]'': Niles leaves rich plastic surgeon Mel Karnofski for poor health care worker Daphne Moon, but he's already a wealthy psychiatrist so it was more about social status than wealth. Daphne herself leaves rich lawyer Donny for the equally-rich Niles -- it leads one to wonder if the writers made sure Donny was wealthy so that when Daphne chose Niles over him, no accusations of gold-digging could be slung around.

* In ''[[Diary of a Mad Black Woman]]'', Helen has to choose between her abusive but wealthy ex-husband Charles, who is disabled by the end of the story, and Orlando, a poor factory worker. {{spoiler|At first she chooses her husband, because he is disabled, but then decides not to and chooses Orlando}}.
