[show]Morgan Fairchild played Jenna Wade, Bobby's childhood sweetheart, in a 1978 episode. When Jenna was seen again for two episodes in 1980, she was played by Francine Tacker as Fairchild was busy working on her own series 'Flamingo Road' (1981)_. In 1983, with Flamingo Road now canceled, the producers approached Fairchild to reprise the role but she declined feeling that she did not want to return to a small role. However, the producers decided to recast the role with Priscilla Presley and the character became a series regular for five years. Fairchild later claimed that her mother never forgave her for turning down a role in her favorite soap.
[hide] - Miss Ellie did have an older brother named Garrison Southworth. Middle son Gary is named after him.
- Larry Hagman claimed the show received more fan mail for Jeremy Wendell, played by William Smithers, than any other villain.
