Trivia:

Lesley-Anne Down's character was originally going to be named Sheila, but Down explained to Aaron Spelling that Sheila is a derogatory Australian slang term for a woman and might cause problems with overseas sales. She suggested Olivia or Stephanie as alternatives, so the character became Olivia Harrow Richards.

Quotes:

[Francesca has interrupted AJ and Cole wearing nothing but a towel. Cole leaves]
Armando 'A.J.' Deschanel, Jr.: I mean, come on Francesca. You didn't think that you could just strut around in your little towel and turn Cole';s head, did you?
Francesca Vargas: Sure turned your head.
Armando 'A.J.' Deschanel, Jr.: Awww, AJ is human.

I can't forget it!!!

Sunset Beach was the best show on NBC. I even prefer that over the Passions. They're storylines were great and they didn't spend a whole month on one night. I hope the US has the nerve to put it on syndication because I miss this soap.
