Shelley appeared in the TV movie Kicks in 1985, starring alongside Soap Superstar Anthony Geary. She played Maggie Pierson, a college professor addicted to, sort of, the thrill of the chase or, as the title says, kicks. She meets her match in Martin Cheevers (Geary), a wealthy businessman with a mysterious past. But their thrills gradually turn into chills as Cheevers ups the anti as they go along. Maggie goes along for the ride for as long as she could and they end up in Alcatraz. Tom Mason (Shelley's future Jack and Mike co-star) played Maggie's boyfriend Caleb. Susan Ruttan (Roxanne Melman on L.A. Law) played Maggie's colleague and friend Rosemary. The movie had been released in VHS format all over the world and had been translated into many different languages.
