Behind the scenes
- Frances Fisher was credited as playing "The Mother Colasanto" on the BBC iPlayer website, implying a blood relation to Angelo Colasanto and his granddaughter Olivia, who had said the families refused to work with them. However, Jane Espenson told AfterElton in her Jane's Take for "The Blood Line" that the character had only ever appeared in scripts as "The Mother".
