Pamela Bellwood departs from the main cast from this episode on. Her character, Claudia, had effectively run her course with the departure of Al Corley who had tired of playing Steven Carrington. Bellwood would return later in this season and, more fully, in Season 4 to help usher in Jack Coleman, the new actor replacing Corley as Steven.
Fallon's encounter with Michael Torrance at La Mirada (later to become La Mirage) marks the first time a Carrington meets long-lost eldest son Adam.
Alexis' snide comments about the nurse's appearance - "an obese nurse, a fat phantom in white" - would not be tolerated by prime time viewers today.
