In one of the later episodes, Hyde is seen trying to give up pot and takes up exercising and cooking to get away from the habit, but it was his friends who actually pulled him back in, refusing to let him "ruin his life". His mother's own drug and police record is referenced throughout the course of the show. While Hyde enjoys his reputation as "the bad influence", there is some evidence throughout the show that some of Hyde's behavior had been influenced by his environment. When he moved in with Eric, he also did several chores around the house to show his gratitude. After the Formans take him in, and Eric and Hyde are considered brothers, he shows love and gratitude for the Formans and the rest of the group.

Hyde, like Eric, has a witty, blunt, and sarcastic sense of humor. Hyde was actually a child prodigy and might have gone on to do great things if not for a frame-up in elementary school where he was blamed for destroying a classmate's science project, which Eric had actually done. His intelligence is often undermined by his refusal to apply himself, but he is one of the smarter members, if not the smartest member, of the group. However, Hyde quickly falls into the role of the intelligent "tough guy". In the first couple of episodes of the first season, Hyde was comparatively less intelligent than in later episodes and more "street smart". Hyde represents the adolescent of the seventies that was suspicious of government and organizations. Steven Hyde is the illegitimate son of William Barnett and Edna Hyde, legal son of Bud Hyde, and the foster son of Red and Kitty Forman. ![]()
