The episode 'Body and Soul' first aired in November, 1987 and introduced Jake Styles (Joe Penny) and Karen Stetson (Doran Clark) as former lovers. Karen begins work investigating a bad guy and Jake decides to back her up. Eventually, her investigation gets too dangerous and Jake must save her life.
The introductory credit sequence features a montage of tinted images of the pair:
Here are some images of Doran Clark on Jake and the Fatman:
In 1990, Doran Clark returned as Karen Stetson in the episode "I Ain't Got No Body'. Jake and the Fatman had moved to Hawaii by this point and so it is explained that Karen has come to the islands for a murder investigation. It turns out that there is a cult-ish health spa and resort that is bilking old ladies out of their money and also connected with several murders. Jake and Karen go undercover as a married couple to infiltrate this evil organization. During the course of this investigation, they attempt to reconcile their feeling for each other. The ending is left open-ended and it would have been really nice if they had brought Doran Clark back for one or more future episodes. Unfortunately, the actress never appeared on the show again.
