Trivia / Road to Avonlea

• The Danza: Sarah Polley plays Sara Stanley.
• Dawson Casting: Although Gus Pike's age is never specified in the earlier episodes, the character was likely intended to be in his teens when he was introduced. Michael Mahonen was 26.
• Market-Based Title: The show was retitled to simply Avonlea when it aired on Disney Channel in the U.S.
• The Other Darrin: Poor Cecily was mostly in the background until she contacted tuberculosis, then she returns from the sanatorium with a different actress. The new Cecily was not well received by the fandom, though it should be noted in her favor that she looked significantly more like her on-screen mother than the previous actress did.
