The role of Dr. Julia Hoffman was originally supposed to be "Julian" Hoffman, and portrayed by a man. In the first episode in which this character is mentioned (before appearing on-screen), Dr. Woodard specifically referred to Dr. Hoffman as a "he", claiming him to be "one of the finest men I know." Before the role was cast however, writer Bob Costello mistakenly mentioned the name as Julia Hoffman and the show's creator, Dan Curtis, grabbed onto that and said, "Yes, let's make it a woman doctor". The character description was typed up, and the name "Julian" became "Julia".
