Goldblume acted as Fay Furillo's labor coach, and briefly became her lover. He later forms a strong romantic relationship with the wealthy widow of a mob boss, only to witness her cold-blooded murder during a dinner date. He had aspirations to become a writer during high school, and is convinced to write his memoirs in season 7 following the tragic death of a former high school friend, who was also an aspiring writer. In the last couple of seasons, Henry becomes hardened and somewhat cynical, and ceases wearing bow ties. He begins teaming with Norman Buntz on occasion, which would have been unthinkable in early seasons. Officer Robert Eugene "Bobby" Hill (Michael Warren, 1981–87) Bobby Hill is a patrol officer who partners with Andy Renko. He is generally well-meaning and kind and makes extra effort to help less-fortunate citizens. He was previously stationed at Jefferson Heights.

"Andy" Renko (Charles Haid, 1981–87) Partners with Bobby Hill, who calls him "Cowboy," even though he was born in New Jersey and says he has never been west of Chicago in his life. He speaks with a Southern accent and rides a motorcycle when he's not in a squad car. He favors country music and, in the early seasons, was often shown wearing a Waylon Jennings baseball cap and sometimes cowboy boots. Renko is an egocentric, gruff and sometimes taciturn man who rarely is shown smiling or laughing, even when others around him are telling jokes. He often indulges in semi-serious braggadocio to his fellow officers, who usually ignore him. He is quick to anger and sometimes displays emotional cruelty to women with whom he
