Johnny also has a college-age daughter, Laurie (Patrie Allen), who visits him in season two's "The Doctor's Daughter" and briefly moves in with him. He later (season three's "Three Days of the Condo") gives his daughter the majority of his legal settlement – roughly one year's salary – from the Los Angeles station that fired him for saying "booger". There is some suggestion in one episode that he might still be in love with Laurie's mother, his first wife, Paula (Ruth Silveira), though they agree that their relationship is over, and Paula marries another man (Hamilton Camp) (season three's "Till Debt Do Us Part"). Johnny's second wife never makes an appearance. Their parting was not as amicable: she tried to kill Johnny with a Ronco Veg-O-Matic. At the end of an episode of "The New WKRP in Cincinnati", Johnny implies to a stoner employee that he may be his illegitimate father, having met his mother at a Grateful Dead concert near the speakers.
