Trivia:

The largest set ever created for a daytime drama was the Great Hall of Eterna, made for this show in 1988. The multilevel, 32 foot high, 360-degree set was so huge that it had to be erected in a separate studio from the place where the show usually tapes.

Quotes:

Marcie: All my life, Al, nobody has even been attracted to me.
Al: Well, listen, those days are over, Marcie.
