Krista Allen (Jenna Avid)
Krista Allen joined the franchise during its final era as a primary antagonist in Baywatch Hawaii. Portraying Jenna Avid, Allen embodied a “femme fatale” persona, a selfish and often vindictive character who frequently clashed with the show’s heroes. Initially a troublemaking lifeguard who later transitioned into a role as a lawmaker, Jenna was a constant source of internal tension, using her beauty and sharp intellect to manipulate situations to her advantage.
Despite her villainous leanings, Jenna Avid eventually showed layers of complexity, particularly through a tumultuous relationship with lead lifeguard Sean Monroe. Her presence was a defining feature of the show’s move to Hawaii, providing the series with a consistent source of drama beyond just oceanic emergencies. After the show ended, Allen went on to a successful career in both film and television, including a long-running role on the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.
