About Cary ...
- Cary was a commercial airplane pilot on a Paris route when he met Kate and Daisy on a flight. Daisy was 16 at the time. Cary and Kate were married six months later.
- Cary and Kate's seventh wedding anniversary was on the same day of the first scenes of the pilot. Cary had a large painted portrait of her in his mansion (Photos of Portrait). A music box underneath the portrait played "My Funny Valentine" and that theme was worked into the incidental music of several shows.
- Kate died almost two years before the first show. It was mentioned she had been dead three years in several other shows.
- Cary was very wealthy -- he owned a small jet , a seaplane (Photos of Planes), a mansion, a beach house, and never worried about client's fees.
- Cary loved gardening and kept beautiful gardens not only at his mansion, but also a smaller version on the office terrace.
- Cary drove a brown Jaguar XJ6. Photos of Jaguar
About Daisy ...
- Three years before the first show, Daisy had just graduated from college and had been accepted at all the law schools she applied to when Cary approached her about helping him at Maxwell Limited.
- Daisy drove two different red Mustang convertibles: an '83 GLX Convertible and an '85 GT Convertible. Photos of Mustangs
About Rita ...

About Brian ...

- Brian left Maxwell Limited during From the Heart to attend law school full time.
About Lyman ...
- Lyman first showed up in From the Heart, trying to steal both Cary and Daisy's cars.
- Lyman was street-wise and had a totally different background from the rest of the staff, which often lead to funny moments during the stories, especially between Cary and Lyman.
- Lyman constantly read racing papers, trying to figure out which horse to bet on next.
- Wherever he was, Lyman was usually eating something.
About the Office ...
- There is a large brass plaque that reads "MAXWELL LTD." on the brick fence pillar at the beginning of the walk that leads up to the small two-story, ivy-covered building where the offices are located. Photos of Office
- The address above the brass plaque is 9014.
- Although never mentioned on the show, several written references have been made to Oscar, the computer. One reference states, "'Oscar' accessed a variety of information networks to find current addresses of those he [Cary] hoped to find/reunite." Must be the one Rita is seen using quite a bit.
