Margie Regan makes her first appearance in the recurring role of Claire Townsend, the girlfriend of Detective Bert Kling. In the novels on which the TV series is based, Claire was killed off. Author Ed McBain would later say that he received his highest number of letters in protest ever because of that plotline.
| The character of informant Danny Gimp frequently appeared in the novels although this episode marks his only appearance of the TV series.
