    Stephanie Comes to Town

    Oh this is one of my favorite episodes, Julie Duffy arrives as Leslie's cousin Stephanie and was so good she was tapped to replace Jennifer Holmes who was always so borriinggg!!! I miss the Kirk Devane character he was hilarious as the object of Stephanie's lust. But we were all fortunate to get Julia Duffy year 2 and then when she teamed up with Peter Scolari as Michael they really ruled the show. Best scenes here were when Kirk tossed the family out of his restaurant, omg tossing the kid's burger was the tops. Julie Duffy was really beautiful and she also had a memorable guest turn on a season 1 episode of Cheers go check it out episode called Any Friend of Diane's.

    The first appearance of Stephanie

    Leslie's cousin Stephanie stays at the inn after doubts about her impending marriage and has a fling with Kirk.

    Julia Duffy debuts as Stephanie, who does not act like the spoiled rich girl we come to know in later seasons. This is an OK episode, funniest scene shows Kirk throwing a family out of his cafe to have a tryst with Stephanie. There is an amusing subplot about Joanna getting a piano for the lobby.

    Julia Duffy Is Really Foxy

    Leslie's Cousin Stephanie comes to the inn to forget about her marriage concerns. Julia Duffy, who would close out the series later, is very good. She is immediately attracted to Kirk and begins to vacillate. There are a series of funny moments, best of all, Kirk throwing a family out of his restaurant. Also, a conversation Stephanie has with Dick in his office.
