SO! MANY!
Elijah had a serious boyfriend in college. It was his last serious relationship before Jessie.
Speaking of Jessie, her political career briefly mentioned in Mirror Image flourished. She's got a great way with politics, which, incidentally, is indirectly the reason why Baleyworld was a success. Elijah is a political disaster, the colony worked thanks to Bentley, and he inherited all of his political ability from his mother.
She also found someone better suited to her after she and Elijah separated.
Daneel unconsciously programmed Dors while thinking of Elijah, which is why she's so impulsive and comes across as such a good mixture of the two of them. She's totally their daughter.
To protect Dors from roblock, Daneel programmed her not only with the Zeroth Law, but he managed to invert the Second and the Third Laws, so that she feels a higher instinct to protect herself than other robots do. He did this because he was traumatized from losing Jander and Giskard to roblock.
Elijah stims. Check out my fic about it!
Elijah was a very romantic and imaginative child, but his hard life and the restrictiveness of the City made him try hard to fit in, and he didn't recover that part of himself until he met Daneel.
Raych's charisma is a weaker form of phychic power. Wanda inherited it from him, her powers are just much stronger.
Hari already wears glasses in his youth.
Yugo Amaryl is definitely autistic.
Lucky Starr's canonical two dads are a couple. Perhaps they were in a poly relationship with his bio parents.
Stephen Byerley adopted Lenny after Susan Calvin died.
Based on the fact that Asimov hoped while alive that his last words would be "I love you, Janet", that Janet says that they were indeed, and that he had a tendency to write characters dying saying the name of the person they loved ("Little Miss" "Dors!"), and the fact that Elijah and Giskard had the exact same last words, maybe Giskard was also in love with Daneel.
If Asimov had lived to write one more book in the series, Daneel would have finally died, and his last words would have been "Partner Elijah."
The Robots/Empire/Foundation verse is set in the timeline Noys created in The End of Eternity.
