I always thought the MD-80 was a stretched-out DC-9.
There was a need for a replacement of the DC-9 and that's where Fokker and McDonnel Douglas teamed up. The Fokker 100 is a derived of the Fokker 28 which needed to be replaced also. I don't know the details of why they didn't continue but the MD-80 is and Fokker 100 share the same basics.
