In 1981, Robert Scorpio’s (Tristan Rogers) trusted colleague, Brighton O’Reilly (Billie Hayes), was shot dead on General Hospital. (The culprit? Victor Cassadine.) Rogers told Soap Opera Digest in 2019, "The character I wish stayed on the show longer was Billie Hayes, who played O’Reilly. She was only meant to be on the show for a day and we managed to stretch that out for about three or four weeks. The pairing was so unusual and we got along so great together."

In 2009, a back-from-the-dead Phillip Chancellor IIII (Thom Bierdz, with Jeanne Cooper, c., as Katherine Chancellor and Jess Walton as Jill Abbott) came out to his family as gay on Young and Restless as he tried to explain why he had allowed them to believe he was dead for decades. "I was never gonna be the man that you wanted me to be," he told his mother and grandmother. "I would never make you happy. I wasn't gonna be the son or the heir that you wanted, because Phillip Chancellor III couldn't possibly be gay."
