Fábio Assunção was the first considered to portray André Spina/Jacques Leclair, but eventually turned down since he had no background in comedy. Eduardo Moscovis turned down the role of André Spina/Jacques Leclair because he looked forward to work on a TV series at the time.
Cássio Gabus Mendes was wary of starring in this remake (since his father created the original series) and turned down the role of Ari/Victor Valentim. Murilo Benício was cast.
Ari/Victor Valentim calls Luiza Brunet to arrange Xuxa's surprise appearance at Jaqueline's birthday party. In real life, Brunet and Xuxa were close friends back when they worked as models in the early 1980s.
Maria Adelaide Amaral had lost interest in writing telenovelas. She accepted this remake due to being a fan of Cassiano Gabus Mendes, creator of the original Ti Ti Ti (1985).
