Baywatch (1989)

Baywatch did not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes throughout its extensive run. The narrative primarily focused on heterosexual relationships and action-adventure plots, resulting in a complete absence of queer representation. Therefore, the net impact on LGBTQ+ portrayal is N/A.

The show primarily focuses on beach rescues, personal drama, and apprehending suspects through non-combative means or group efforts. While female characters are strong and capable, there are no significant instances where a female character defeats one or more male opponents in direct physical combat using skill, strength, or martial arts.

The 1989-2001 'Baywatch' series is the original iteration, not an adaptation or reboot of prior material. All characters were introduced with their established genders, thus no gender swaps occurred.

As the original series, Baywatch (1989–2001) introduced its own characters and established their races. There is no prior source material or previous installment for its characters to be race-swapped from.
