the ep. where Ponch really falls in love, then the girl [spoiler]?


is killed by a drunk driver, then there's the message from MADD at the end

which episode is that? I think it was one of the later ones

what I'm really looking for is the song from it (played during a montage of their dates, including horseback riding), I believe sung by Laura Branigan, is it up on YouTube or available anywhere?

thank you

Head Over Heels - season 6, episode 8 is the episode with Ponch's girlfriend getting killed.

From the TV.com page for this episode:

Laura Branigan sang Lee Holdridge's "A Love Until The End of Time" for this episode, but that song was never released. However, Placido Domingo and Maureen McGovern have sung the song as a duet and it is available on CD.

Laura Branigan did co-star and sing Gloria in an episode not long after that one aired. Foxtrap season 6, episode 16.

Vidal Sassoon's ex-wife Beverly played the role of the girlfriend. She was the real life wife of Erik Estrada at the time.

He might have been dating her, but they were never married. Didn't think this was a great episode either. It just feels very rushed to me.

Poor Ponch! That is sad! Erik was unlucky in love in real life too, until he met his third wife, Nanette, he's been with her many years and they have a daughter together. Before that he had two wives who pretty much turned out to be very bad women , used him really bad and broke his heart! The second one he even had two sons with. Erik had many girls , I mean women would throw themselves at him, a shame the two he chose to get serious with didn't really love or care for him. Glad he is happy now and has a good wife, although I wish I could be his wife!!! LOL!!! If anything happens bad in that marriage, here I am Erik, even though he is 65 years old already, he's still Hot in my book!

I'm trying to find the thread where a few of us were posting about this ep!! Remember we were making fun of the lady with her funny curly clown perm and other stuff?

Great episode. Their romance should've spanned 2 or 3 episodes.
