Lana Shields is a bosomy, amorous, and three times divorced older woman who had an unrequited crush on Jack Tripper. She is constantly flirting with Jack and tries to seduce him every time she's around him while Jack, on the other hand, does his best to avoid her at all costs, especially around the new landlord Ralph Furley, who, like Mr. Roper before him, is deceived into believing that Jack is gay in order for Jack to continue living with Janet and Chrissy. Unlike Jack, though, Furley is attracted to Lana and regularly tries to put the moves on her , but she dislikes him (he never comes to realize this).Lana's first appearance is in the episode Love Thy Neighbor (season 4, episode 2), in which Jack takes a job as an escort, which is how he first meets Lana, in order to make some quick cash. But he soon learns that Lana wants to do much 'more' with him than just have a casual dinner out on the town.In the very next episode The New Landlord (which introduces Mr. Furley) the roommates accidentally sell all of Furley's furniture to a junk dealer, not realizing it belongs to their new landlord (who has not met anyone in the building yet). Furley is angry and gives them an eviction notice, but upon meeting Lana, he immediately falls in love . Furley and the roommates made a deal: If they get Furley a date with Lana, they won't have to move.Even though she doesn't like Furley, Lana does seduce him on several occasions to get what she wants. For example, in one episode she convinces Furley to accept Jack, Janet, Chrissy's rent money a few days late. In season four's eighth episode, A-Camping We Will Go , Lana tricks Furley into going on a camping trip so she can be near Jack, who was talked into going by Larry, for an entire weekend. It is in this episode that Lana finds Jack in the woods nude with leaves and branches (this was later revealed to be poison ivy) draped around him after Larry steals his clothes while Jack was swimming to relax. Upon finding a horrified Jack, Lana lustfully asks Gee, Tarzan, can I swing on your tree? . Though, Jack looked more like Adam (the first man) because of being totally nude.However, not long after this now legendary episode, Lana disappears from the show. Her final appearance is in the episode A Black Letter Day (season 4, episode 13). In this episode, Lana reads a newspaper advice column about a man living with two female roommates and the man is having an affair with one of them and she assumes the column is about Jack, Janet and Chrissy. She mentions this to Chrissy and Janet, and they each think the other is having an affair with Jack. Lana's last scene in this episode is sitting at the bar of the local hangout The Regal Beagle along with fellow neighbor Larry crying over the article. When Jack enters the bar to join them, Lana angrily pours a drink over his head and storms out. Lana is neither seen or mentioned again afterwards. Show less «
