When Erica Gimpel became unavailable to film this episode, her character Coco was replaced in the script by "Kelly Hayden", played by Connie Needham.
This story was adapted into the 1983 novel "The Kids From Fame 2" by Lisa Todd (pseudonym for Stephen Gallagher), spread out between chapters 2 to 14. However, the story is combined and interspersed with elements from Relationships (1983), Words (1982), Love Is the Question (1983) and Friendship Day (1983). Dialogue spoken by Kelly Hayden in the TV version is spoken by Coco Hernandez in the book.
