From the beginning, the series has featured many notable American soap opera actors in its regular and guest cast.[21] In 2011, Evans and her character Sara made a crossover appearance on the web series Pretty.[22]

In April 2015, Soap Opera Digest reported that episodes of The Bay would be re-released on Amazon Prime in Summer 2016 as two 14-episode seasons, featuring a new beginning.[39] According to Martin, they will be "remastered episodes with never before seen footage, [and] the show will have a new starting point".[39]
