* Meta-example: When Raymond Burr was first approached about reprising his role for ''Perry Mason Returns'', he gladly accepted, on one condition: that Barbara Hale be brought back as Della Street.
* Another meta-example from ''Perry Mason Returns''; even in tense courtroom scenes, you can actually feel how much Raymond Burr and Barbara Hale are enjoying being together again.



* Also, the motherly way Della acts towards Paul Drake Jnr, who simply accepts it as natural and seems to feel similarly towards her - it's clear that Perry and Della were definitely 'Uncle Perry' and 'Aunt Della' to Paul Jnr. growing up. No one seeing Barbara Hale and William Katt's scenes together will be at all surprised to find out they're [[RealLifeRelative mother and son in real life]].
* Another Meta-example: In his last season as a billed main cast member on ''Perry Mason'', Ray Collins (Lt. Tragg) had few to no actual appearances. This was due to his health failing. Gail Patrick Jackson, the show's producer kept him on the cast even though he was in no condition to report to work for two reasons: first as a means of encouragement for him to overcome his illness (he avidly watched the show during his illness); and second so that his [=SAG=] provided health benefits wouldn't run out. Sadly, he passed away in 1965.

* Also in ''Perry Mason Returns''; it's a couple of small, but profound things. When the 'all rise' order is given to open Della's trial, Perry has his arm around her comfortingly as they stand and sit again. And when Perry's flushed out the real killer ([[ForegoneConclusion of course]]), he turns to Della, takes both her hands in his, and asks her if she's alright. He doesn't let go until Della tells him she's just fine.

* In ''Perry Mason Returns'', Della calls Perry to recommend an attorney once she realises she's going to be charged with murder. When he comes to meet her, he tells her outright that there's no one he trusts to defend Della more than him, so Perry will do it himself. He's ''already'' handed in his resignation as an appellate court judge in order to do so.

* In "The Case of the Spanish Cross," Perry tracks down a frightened young man wrongly accused and on the run for grand theft and murder. In his hiding place, Perry asks the boy to trust him to help, with his first promise to turn him in to the police. With nothing but his word to depend on, the boy steps out with Perry in the seemingly forlorn hope that the lawyer will help him. At that, Perry puts his arm around the boy in appreciation of his trust, and we know this innocent young man will have the services of one of the greatest lawyers in fiction to defend him because of it.
