• When Jeanne Cooper (Katherine) decided to have a face lift, rather than going out on leave and replacing her with a stand-in, the producers wrote a storyline in which Katherine had a face lift, complete with hospitalization and recovery.

• One of the favorite plot devices is to send children away to boarding school or out of town to live with former characters only to have them return a short time later as teenagers. Among those involved in this type of plotting were Victoria Newman (age ten returned a year later as an eighteen-year-old), Nick Newman, Billy Abbott, Lily Winters, Noah Newman, and Abby Newman/Abbott.

• Baseball Hall of Fame shortstop Cal Ripken is one of the show's biggest fans.
