Trivia

The Team

 * Rupert was originally a part of the Detective Team. After the creators couldn't develop his personality beyond being strict and responsible, he was replaced by Luke, a genius wannabe casanova. Rupert was then repurposed to be the main antagonist.
 * Luke was later changed to a (more likeable) defense attorney.
 * Sam was originally the protagonist of Chez Albert. However, after developing everyone's personalities and backstories further, the creators realized that Sam wasn't essential to the story. Personality wise, she is simply average with no strong passions or defining character traits. To amend this, the creators made her absurdly beautiful. According to the creators, Sam is still the character with the least amount of character development overall.
 * Sam was also overhauled as a charismatic artist/magician (as opposed to a boringly hot girl next door).
 * Ginger was originally the creators' least favorite character until one of them wrote the scandal and fire flashback. Now Ginger is one of their favorites.
 * Sadie was the last to be added to The Team, making her a Sixth Ranger in every sense of the trope.

Other Characters

 * Byron is named after Lord Byron, the real-world inspiration for the Byronic Hero trope. "The Gunslinger" is a reference to The Corsair, one of Lord Byron's earliest and most popular poems. "Harrow" is a reference to Harrow School, a boarding school in London attended by Lord Byron in his youth.
 * Jesse's last name is a reference to Bryne Faraday, prosector and father to Kay Faraday from Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth. As for his first name, one of the creators associates the name "Jesse" with characters that display big hearts against overwhelming odds (i.e., Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad, Jesse Custer from Preacher).
