The original plan of the writers was that Constance would kill Elliot after a couple of episodes, followed by a dramatic murder trial. However, Elliot proved to be beloved among the public, and the plan was aborted.

Though Ed Nelson and Barbara Parkins was credited for all 514 episodes, neither performer appeared in every segment.

Around the time of Betty and Steven's marriage, there was talks of returning Henry Beckman to the show, because Kasey Rogers told the writers that her character didn't have much to do anymore. According to Rogers, Beckman demanded too much money.
