Not much I can say about this yet, as it's never made it over to the UK. China played the recurring role of "Flame",the girlfriend of Firefighter Lenny Rose, one of the regular cast. The series originally bombed, cosistantly coming at the bottom of the influential Nielson ratings. It was cancelled after only six shows, and relaunched as "Fire Company 132" with Alexandra Paul from "Baywatch" added to try to boost the ratings. Unfortunately, China's character didn't survive the relaunch, and she only appeared in five of the six original shows. The relaunched show ran for an additional 12 shows, none of which have been shown in the US, but all have been aired elsewhere, particularly in parts of Europe and the Far East. Also, the series upset real-life L.A. firefighters, who said that it projected the wrong image. The only plot information I have for the episodes in which China appears is that in the final episode in which she appears, Flame and Lenny decide to get married. (Whether they actually do or not, I don't know, but the way things go in shows like this, one or the other of them is bound to end up as toast by the end of the show!!!).
Oh yeah, for some reason, China has black hair in this one! (Apparently some people think this makes her look like Cher!!!)
Any further information, or offers of copies of the shows on tape, would be greatly appreciated!
