<P> Early on , Jo 's sailor boyfriend , Eddie Brennan ( actor Clark Brandon ) , came to Eastland and convinced her to marry him . They planned to elope to West Virginia , where the marriage age was lower , but Mrs. Garrett and Blair tracked her down at a nearby motel to stop her . Jo had by that point already begun to change her mind when she realized just how difficult teenage marriage would be . Jo returned to Peekskill without Eddie . Eddie visited again the following season but things had changed between them . They were moving in different directions and keeping the long distance relationship going was proving to be very difficult , so they decided to see other people for the time being . Eddie returned late in the fifth season , now an officer in the Navy but Tootie discovered he was married to a girl in Italy . Clark Brandon 's last appearance was in the 5th season 's 23rd episode `` Seems Like Old Times '' . </P>
