Hi -

I'm new here, and I apologize (sorry) that I don't have any pics to show here, and I can't even remember the name of the character she played, but early in one of the late season episodes, she was sitting on the couch with "Jack (Tripper)" (John Ritter), telling him how disappointed she was that he never said anything about her new bikini at the beach, which was a new one that she bought just for that occasion. "Jack" replied that it was because "there was so *little* to talk about", which actually pleased her because apparently he did indeed notice her bikini. She never actually wore any bikini in the episode (it was only discussed in the couch scene), but she was a very attractive blonde, and I've never been able to even find which particular episode she was in.

Anyone possibly have any ideas whom I'm talking about, or anything else that could be helpful in any way whatsoever, such as the particular episode or name of her character? Any attempt or effort to help would be very appreciated - thanks.

The dialogue sounds familiar but the episode escapes me, since I'm so used to the syndicated edited episodes this one scene could be one of many of those bits edited out, it's possible to search throughout the DVD sets but that would be one arduous task not knowing which episode it was.

That would be Susan Walden in "Hearing is Believing". Season 8, episode 6.

I thought this was the episode and actress Susan Walden (August 20, 1956 – August 17, 2020) when I saw this post over a week ago. When I went to watch the episode nothing is mentioned about bikini, just that they were going to the beach. That's what threw me off.

Here's how Susan looked in a 1992 episode of Matlock:

Sorry for taking so long to reply, but thanks very much to everyone (for everything)!
