Trivia:
The writers took into consideration to have Chase killed by Julia's gun shots at the end of season 2 as Robert Foxworth was not happy with his role. The actor complained about the series drifting away from the original vineyard concept. He was convinced to stay after he was offered the chance to direct some of the show's episodes. moreQuotes:

I got hooked on this show after the first few years had passed. These nighttime soap operas were known for their season-ending cliffhangers and this one was no exception. The best seasons of the series were 1986-1989, when they experimented with a faster-paced style of storytelling that was quite smart and exciting. This had by far the best sense of humor of all the soaps and featured excellent acting from Jane Wyman, Ana-Alicia, David Selby and Susan Sullivan (now on "Dharma and Greg") Interesting note: during many of its later years, this show's music was composed by Mark Snow, who went on to do the famous "X-Files" theme and score. I wish they still showed reruns of this show somewhere!
