This was Sonia Braga's (Gelly) last telenovela before moving to the United States, where she began her international career. She would only return to Brazilian television 19 years later, on The Power of Desire (1999).
On the first episode, several actors from the previous telenovela Marron Glacé (1979), including Lima Duarte, reprised their roles as waiters and catering owner at Gelly's (Sonia Braga) wedding reception.
