* Phillips bonded with the Valenzuelas during production and, at one point, actually became Ritchie to them. This led to an incident where during the filming of Phillips (as Valens) boarding the plane for their ill-fated flight, Connie Lemos (Ritchie's real-life sister[[note]]who was only 6 when Richie died[[/note]]) hysterically grabs Phillips screaming, "[[TearJerker Don't go Ritchie! Please don't get on the plane! Why did you have to die?]]". Connie admitted on ''Series/BehindTheMusic'' that she realized at that moment that she never fully accepted her brother's death.
