I believe that more individuals actually were credited for having played the role of Trudy, although they only were portrayed in photographs before she began to have regular appearances in flashbacks and daydreams.
I'm curious. When Linda Fusco first appeared in season 6's "Mr. Monk, Private Eye", she and the Captain hit it off. She doesn't reappear until the beginning of season 7. Just about 4 shows after that, she uses him as she commits a murder. Was this why she was introduced into the series in the first place, or did this evolve... and if so, how?
Monk ran after the fighter plane. Monk ran after escaping on the way to prison monk ran across the golf course. In how many episodes did Monk run? Is Tony Shaloub a runner?
^Good question. I have not read anything that identified running as one of Tony Shalhoub's hobby. Other fans, please feel free to chime in if you have any information on this.
Thanks,

In only a handful of episodes, the instrumental Randy Newman closing theme is not heard at all – instead, a dreamy Jef Beal-style musical piece accompanies the entire closing credits. The first such episode was "Mr. Monk vs. The Cobra." Others were "Mr. Monk Goes Home" and "Mr. Monk and the Kid."
Why did only these few episodes receive this special treatment?
I've always wondered about these anomalous endings, but haven't found any answers yet. What's the story?
Mr Monk also drove in Monk on the Run, while trying to escape, although the truck had a club on it so he only drove it in a circle.
Thanks for all the comments! Regarding...
1. The character Linda Fusco. If I were to hazard a guess, I would say her character evolved from Captain's girlfriend to a murderer. I'm afraid only someone from the show will be able to provide you an accurate answer.
2. The dreamy Jeff Beal-style musical piece. What a novel observation and question. Have you considered reaching out to a producer or someone from the sound department for those episodes? You might be surprised at how obliging they can be in answering questions.
