Lynne Marta (Cheryl) was in a relationship with David Soul, that spanned the course of the series. (edit)

Trivia

add »
The 'Rafferty and O'Brien busted in the stationhouse' scene is part of the 2nd season opening credits. (edit)
Nit-pick: The set for the interior of the apartment block seen in this episode, is the same one as used previously in 'Texas Longhorn'. They even enter the same apartment, which was previously seen to be inhabited by drug-addicted Angel. (edit)
