5. Greg Medavoy was involved with the sexy PAA Donna Abandondo for quite a while, but eventually they went their separate ways. He then became interested in a uniform cop named Abby Sullivan.

Question 8 of 10
8. Valerie Haywood and Baldwin Jones made one of the handsomest couples on the show. They were attracted to each other right away, from the time Valerie came on board as ADA. In an effort to make their relationship more "spontaneous", Valerie ended up pregnant. What happened next? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. Andy Sipowicz had more than his share of tragedies, but he was lucky in the romance department. A few years after the death of his beloved Sylvia, Andy fell in love and married again. Who would become Andy's third wife? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. And then there was the show's number one couple, Diane Russell and Bobby Simone. They were the ones with the chemistry, and sparks flew whenever they were in the same room together. Their love story had its ups and downs, but they truly loved each other, and finally they were married. I'm sure everyone knows how it all came to an end, but I wonder if anyone remembers a detail from their wedding. Who were the witnesses at the ceremony? Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. John Kelly and Janice Licalsi were an item for a while at the beginning of the show's run. But when Kelly was hired by a dying friend to be a bodyguard for his girlfriend, Kelly was attracted to the woman he was supposed to protect. What was her name?

Answer: Robin Wirkus

Debrah Farentino played Robin, the beautiful young woman who married Kelly's old pal Jimmy right before Jimmy died. Nothing came of it, because Kelly still had feelings for Janice, and also because David Caruso was about to leave "NYPD Blue" for a career in films. (That didn't pan out for Caruso, but he's done pretty well for himself, playing Horatio on the hugely popular TV show "CSI Miami.")
2. This next couple got off to a very rocky start. Andy Sipowicz was a mess, a drunk who preferred hanging out in bars and keeping company with hookers. But a pretty D.A. caught his eye, and once he got his act together, and after many disagreements and cold feet on Andy's part, they were married. The D.A. was Sylvia Costas; who was the actress that portrayed her?

Answer: Sharon Lawrence

They made an unlikely couple, but the actors made it convincing. It was a sad moment indeed when Sylvia Costas was killed in a courthouse shooting a few seasons later. Stringfield, Fitzpatrick and Lackey all played recurring roles on "NYPD Blue" at some point during the show's run.
3. When handsome Bobby Simone joined the 15th squad, we knew it wouldn't be long before he had a love interest. Sure enough, while working on a case, he became acquainted with Benita Alden, and they hooked up romantically soon after. It didn't last too long, because of conflicts having to do with Benita's work. What was Benita's occupation?

Answer: Reporter

Benita was fond of Bobby, but she was also fond of getting herself an exclusive story. When Bobby mentioned some details to Benita regarding a sensational case he was working on, the next day they turned up in the newspaper. That was it for Bobby, who told her to get lost. And besides, there was another romance waiting for Simone soon after.
4. Young James Martinez was interested in Detective Adrianne Lesniak from the time she joined the squad. But Adrienne was one confused young lady. First she told James she was gay, which was not true. They finally got together, but not for long. What caused their breakup?

Answer: Adrianne's excessive jealousy

Adrianne (Justine Miceli) was extremely jealous, and made James miserable with her accusations. He finally had all he could take, and broke up with her. Shortly after, a young woman named Gina Colon (Lourdes Benedicto) joined the squad as the latest new PAA.

She was lovely, and the perfect girl for James. They got married and had a baby, and James eventually got promoted to sergeant and left the squad.
5. Greg Medavoy was involved with the sexy PAA Donna Abandondo for quite a while, but eventually they went their separate ways. He then became interested in a uniform cop named Abby Sullivan. She seemed a good match for Greg, except for one minor detail. What kept Abby and Greg from having a romance?

Answer: Abby was a lesbian

Paige Turco played Officer Abby Sullivan. She and Greg remained friends, and he even made a generous donation that enabled Abby to become pregnant. Sadly, Abby's life partner was murdered by a jealous ex-lover, leaving her on her own. Greg was at Abby's side when the baby was born.
6. Detective Jill Kirkendall had been married to a real jerk, who caused her so much trouble she ended up leaving the job. They were separated, and for a while, Jill found romance with a co-worker. Who was he?

Answer: ADA Leo Cohen

Jill originally got cozy with ADA Leo Cohen to get information. But she came to like him, even though he could be an annoying smart aleck. Jill and Leo didn't last very long, and then Jill went on to become entangled in her ex-husband's dirty business, which eventually forced her to run away.
7. Lieutenant Tony Rodriguez had a surprise visit one day, from his ex-wife Angela. He still had feelings for her, and they began seeing each other again, until something happened that ended their romance forever. What happened?

Answer: Angela died of a drug overdose

Angela had a bad drug problem, which was why Tony left her in the first place. She had Tony convinced that she was recovered, but in reality she was in bad shape. Arrangements were made for Tony to take Angela to rehab, but she was found dead right before they were scheduled to go.
8. Valerie Haywood and Baldwin Jones made one of the handsomest couples on the show. They were attracted to each other right away, from the time Valerie came on board as ADA. In an effort to make their relationship more "spontaneous", Valerie ended up pregnant. What happened next?

Answer: Valerie miscarried

Valerie lost the baby, and when Baldwin found out that she had considered having an abortion, she lost him too. They eventually became friendly again, after Baldwin had a brief affair with a flaky cop named Mara.
9. Andy Sipowicz had more than his share of tragedies, but he was lucky in the romance department. A few years after the death of his beloved Sylvia, Andy fell in love and married again. Who would become Andy's third wife?

Answer: Connie McDowell

Andy and Connie married, and became a blended family. Connie was raising her late sister's baby, Andy was a single dad to Theo, and then Connie became pregnant after she married Andy. Andy almost remarried Katie, his first wife, but then Connie came into the picture.

He dated Cynthia for a while too-she was the niece of Andy's fellow detective friend Eddie Gibson. Gerry Turner was very interested in Andy too-she was the PAA that wore rubber underwear to work, and harassed Andy so much he had to report her to Lieutenant Fancy.
10. And then there was the show's number one couple, Diane Russell and Bobby Simone. They were the ones with the chemistry, and sparks flew whenever they were in the same room together. Their love story had its ups and downs, but they truly loved each other, and finally they were married. I'm sure everyone knows how it all came to an end, but I wonder if anyone remembers a detail from their wedding. Who were the witnesses at the ceremony?

Answer: Another couple that was getting married

Diane and Bobby had to get married on their lunch hour. Andy was to be their witness, but he couldn't make it. There was another couple waiting to be married in the judge's chambers, so they each served as the others witnesses. Diane and Bobby should have lived happily ever after, they certainly deserved to, but it wasn't in the cards. Bobby died of heart failure shortly after they were married.
