Trivia: Shawn's never-to-be-mentioned-again sister Stacey was originally supposed to be the sister of one of Corey's other friends. The actor playing the friend was fired, so the part was transitioned to Shawn. The sister's name was originally Rochelle. Ben Savage suggested to the actor to make a long pause when saying he will consult with Rochelle when Cory asks for help, thinking it would get a big laugh. The actor paused for 30 seconds before delivering the line, getting no laughs in response.

Trivia: After kissing Cory, Topanga reveals it's her first kiss. This was also true for Danielle Fishel. They did not rehearse the kiss, and she admits to having been extremely nervous to film it. She also revealed Ben Savage was extremely nervous about filming the kiss to the point that he didn't want their lips to touch, which is why his lips are tucked in afterwards.

Trivia: According to director David Trainer, the reason why Shawn doesn't appear in the hallway scene near the end of the episode is because, as Cory's friend, he would have stuck around after the rest of the group of students went to the library to sign the petition, and for the kiss between Cory and Topanga to work better, they needed to be alone.
Answer: Topanga's middle name is never specified. Considering her sister's name is Nebula Stop-the-war Lawrence, Topanga's is probably something equally unusual.
