Elyssa Davalos is the daughter of the Greek-American actor Richard Davalos. During the 1980’s she guest starred on several classic television shows such as
Knight Rider
, Scarecrow and Mrs. King and MacGyver. It was in
season 3 of MacGyver that she had recurring roles in the show. She first appeared as Lisa Kohler/Mrs. Lisa Kosov in the two-part episode
Lost Love.
Continue reading...Later in the season, she returns as Nikki Carpenter, a completely different character. Unfortunately, the character only lasted eight episodes. Rumor has it that the female fans disapproved of the pairing. Though some would argue that Paramount thought a permanent pairing did not work for the show. Her marriage with Jeff Dunas ended around the same time her role as Nikki Carpenter was discontinued in the show MacGyver. Elyssa Davalos continued with guest appearances on detective shows such as Matlock and Diagnosis Murder. Now, she’s better known as the mother of Alexa Davalos who played Kyra in the Chronicles of Riddick.

I wanted so much to see Elyssa fall in love with MacGyver and stay on the series like Heart to Heart (Robett Wagner & Stefanie Powers).
I was hoping so much that Elyssa would have become MacGyver's permanant part or spouse like Heart to Heart (Robert Wagner & Stefanie Powers). It could have worked out. They both had a mind of their own and were made for each other (maybe in real life) LOL.
^I had wanted the same thing! Of all of MacGyver's love interests, she's the one that I liked the most. They had the best chemistry.
