The storyline about the murder of Allison's evil drug-pushing husband Benny became so popular, a prime-time special was produced, recapping all the details and possible suspects - - a first for a daytime soap opera. The unique special program garnered high ratings.

NBC Programming replaced the daytime series "Bright Promise" (1969-1972) with "Return To Peyton Place" (1972-1974). The 20th Century Fox night-time NBC series "Peyton Place" was anticipated to distinguish the highly popular series for daytime programming. "Return To Peyton Place" replaced the "Bright Promise" time slot, as well as following the same daily taping schedule, afternoon-night rehearsal and tape, on Stage 9, NBC Burbank Color Studios. The other half of Studio 9 was used in the mornings for "Days of Our Lives" production. New RCA Color Cameras replaced camera equipment in the studio upgrade with the new Peyton Place series, improving transmission quality.

Over 500 actors tested for the role of Rodney Harrington.
