Sample Trivia: >
Had it been up to Deidre Hall, the show never would have hired Wayne
Northrop as Roman Brady. Although he turned out to be one of her most
popular leading men, after Hall screen-tested with Northrop, she found
"absolutely no chemistry" between them. Executive producer Al
Rabin, on the other hand, saw a spark between them that could grow into
something more. In time, Hall and the audience recognized it as well. >
Catherine Mary Steward, who originated the role of Kayla Brady, had a
clause written into her contract allowing her time off to pursue outside
projects, such as primetime and feature film work. After the third time
she exercised that clause, the producers decided to let her go. >
Doug Williams and Julie Olson were married in the same church where
their portrayers, Bill Hayes and Susan Seaforth, had tied the know just
two years earlier. Instead of hiring an actor to portray the minister, the
show hired the same minister who had married the Hayeses. The Hayeses also
repeated some of the same vows they had recited during their real-life
wedding.
