[4][5] Byrne remained with the series for four years, until she decided to depart the role; she was subsequently replaced by actress Heather Rattray.

[8] The role was then recast with former Loving actress Noelle Beck, who remained with the series until its final episode in September 2010.

At the 2000 Soap Opera Digest Awards, Byrne and Hensley were nominated for "Favorite Couple" as Lily and Holden.

However, they lost to One Life to Live's Erika Slezak (Victoria Lord) and Mark Derwin (Ben Davidson).

[1] Byrne revealed that the pairing of Lily and Holden was by chance, due to then-head writer Douglas Marland.
