* TheCharacterDiedWithHim: Creator/AnneBaxter, who played Victoria Cabot, died in 1985, which resulted in Victoria Cabot also dying and leaving [=McDermott=] her share of the St. Gregory Hotel.



* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/BetteDavis was originally cast as hotel owner Laura Trent in the pilot in hopes she would be a regular. However, Davis' declining health and advanced age (75 at that point) led to former ''Film/AllAboutEve'' co-star Creator/AnneBaxter being cast as her sister-in-law Victoria Cabot as a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute; this was intended to be done until Davis' health improved, only for Laura Trent to be [[PutOnABus made an offscreen character]]. In a bit of irony, Davis not only outlived Baxter (who died eight days after suffering a stroke in December 1985, which resulted in Victoria Cabot ''also'' being made an offscreen character) but upon her death in October 1989 Davis had outlasted the series itself by nearly a year and a half.
