While the show continued storylines from Peyton Place, nearly all characters were recast with new actors, with the exception of Frank Ferguson, Evelyn Scott and Patricia Morrow, who reprised their roles as Eli Carson, Ada Jacks and Rita Jacks Harrington respectively.
Selena Cross, who was a major character in the original novel and films Peyton Place and Return to Peyton Place, was added to the show halfway through its first year. She was not included in the original primetime series as her storyline (where she was raped by her stepfather) was considered too risque for television at the time.
