Santa Barbara is significant for obtaining a vital plot around from which several others revolve, like the killing of Channing Capwell, Jr. The murder takes place 5 years before the show really begins, and the character of Joe Perkins (played by Dane Witherspoon) was jailed for killing him. He also received a parole and came back to Santa Barbara to prove that he is not the murderer and to rekindle his relationship with Kelly Capwell, who happens to be the sister of Channing Capwell, Jr. The serial has several twists and turns in which almost the entire major casts will be accused for the killing.

The production of this serial re-casted the original characters for many times over. From the last part of the serials, almost all the entire original characters had been changed and re-casted aside from the characters of Eden Capwell and Cruz Castillo (played by Marcy Walker), Augusta Wainwright (played by Louise Sorel) and Lionel Lockridge (played by Nicholas Coster). Kelly and C.C’s characters have the ultimate number of re-castings. Some re-castings became successful especially the characters of C.C. Capwell No. 4 (played by Jed Allan), Sophia Capwell No. 2 (played by Judith McConnell) and Gina Blake DeMott No. 2 (played by Robin Mattson). In 1992, the majority of the original characters have been re-casted or written out. Then, the new set of characters has arrived that caused the ratings to drop down, until it was cancelled.
