Shauni McClain

Shauni McClain is a fictional character from the TV series Baywatch from the early 1990s. She was played by Erika Eleniak.

Shauni started life as a complete rookie when she first became a lifeguard with Baywatch. She was scared of people drowning and freezing up when people needed CPR. Mitch Buchannon saw this and decided to put her under the wing of experienced lifeguard Jill Riley. Jill trains Shauni to become confident in her own abilities. The two become to best of friends and Jill helps Shauni develop the skills she would later exhibit later on in her career. In her time at Baywatch, she meets, gets to know and falls for her long term colleague Eddie Kramer played by Billy Warlock. Eventually, the two would marry and move to Australia at the beginning of their third term together. Erika and Billy's onscreen romance became real for a while.

Erika Eleniak played in all 44 episodes of the first and second seasons, and first two episodes of the third season, she was the show's female mainstay (Leading female) from 1989 until 1993. It's been reported by both producers and Erika herself that her departure was down to her dislike for the direction the show was taking.
