Notes

add »
Debbi Morgan would do "For The People" for Lifetime Television. The series lasted one season. (edit)
Debbi Morgan also plays Chloe's twin sister. (edit)
Whoopi Goldberg is credited as a "special guest star" in the main title sequence. (edit)
Paul Robert Langdon only played Dr. Delgado's son, Marc, in this (pilot) episode. Christopher Marquette took over that role in episode 1.03 (Marc did not appear in 1.02). He was credited as Paul Robert Santiago in this episode. (edit)
