When Gordon joined the cast of Sunset Beach he requested the same dressing room he used when he was on Santa Barbara. The two shows were filmed on the same lot and had the same set of dressing rooms although Santa Barbara ended 4 years before Sunset Beach began.
Gordon was hired to play "Patrick Baker" on The Young and the Restless for 13 weeks in 1997. Fans enjoyed the character so much that producers kept him around for a year.
Gordon: (describing himself) I'm a very slow learner, I'm a stubborn person. I'm a romantic, and I can be very unrealistic. I need to be bashed over the head a few times.
Gordon: I got very lucky with Dynasty. It is very nice not to have to worry about money. Money is the root of all evil in many ways, and the cause of most stress. You can't enjoy life when you are worrying about the rent.
