Answer the following Q with stream of consciousness. Passage: Season two premiered on December 4, 1988 due to a writers strike; the season introduced a new look and set of executive producers, with on-location shooting moved from Louisiana to Covington, Georgia. The season premiere was aired as a two-hour TV-movie, "Do n't Look Back"; the plot revolved around a copycat murder of one that Gillespie had investigated 20 years earlier. Also introduced were two new regular characters -- Joanne St. John (played by Lois Nettleton), the chief's sometime girlfriend and owner of the local diner, "The Magnolia Cafe"; and Officer Wilson Sweet (played by Geoffrey Thorne), fresh out of the Police Academy. The episode also introduced the first of several new recurring characters, including Doctor (or, "Doc") Robb, the county coroner (played by veteran actor Dan Biggers). "The Creek" saw the introduction of the first new police character and the second prominent Georgia performer to claim a regular role on the series, "Officer Randy Goode" (1988 -- 1993) played by Randall Franks, who was cast following the show's move to Covington, Georgia.
