Did anyone else find both of these characters annoying?
Dr Nicholas Toscani & Sergeant Zorelli.

Season 1 seems like it happened in another universe almost compared to the 2nd season (so far) so I suppose it's not surprising that within a couple of episodes into the season super young Heather Locklear appears as Sammy Jo.

I have several favorite characters now but how important does Sammy Jo become as a character throughout the show? I'm guessing the acting definitely improves because she was great on Melrose Place.
