To assist with bringing in a German audience, the show went on location to Hamburg when a jewel thief and his lover (who had been in a coma for seven years and wanted revenge on the women her husband had married in the meantime) stole the Dimarco diamond from a museum in that country.

Another milestone of this show was the exploration of a lesbian couple attempting to adopt a daughter whose biological mother was deemed unfit because of her addiction to cocaine. There attempts were thwarted when the child's biological father (who had been working as their butler) intervened. This couple also frequently shared on screen kisses. When the ABC Daytime serial "All My Children" did this ten years later, it made international news.

"Family Passions" featured popular soap actors like Kin Shriner and Roscoe Born as well as many Canadian actors including future "Star Wars" actor Hayden Christensen.Also German actors like Dietmar Schönherr or Tina Ruland.
