** Catherine O'Hara suggested Moira's fashion be inspired by eccentric socialite Daphne Guinness and that Moira wear wigs to fit her mood, thus giving the show Moira's Wig Wall. O'Hara is said to choose the wigs for Moira's scenes herself. She also developed Moira's bizarre accent.
** Patrick's famous SerenadeYourLover moment came about because actor Noah Reid, who arranged the Tina Turner cover himself after Daniel Levy wrote it into the script, is a musician himself. He also has a background in musical theatre, which inspired Patrick's community theatre storyline.
** Dan Levy wrote his own love of Mariah Carey into his character, who spends an evening of karaoke performing her catalog. Carey herself has tweeted about the show, in particular, the romantic line:
-->'''Patrick''': You're my Mariah Carey.
** Annie Murphy developed Alexis's vocal fry and hand gestures after spending hours watching The Kardashians and other such celebrities on Youtube.

* AdoredByTheNetwork: The Creator/{{CBC}} had a lot of faith in the show and made it a success in Canada early on, and in the US the fledgling Pop Network really put its resources behind the show. Pop spent a significant portion of its small marketing budget on the show, frequently advertised the show on its reruns of better-known shows and replaced low-rated programs with reruns of the show.
