Line 12:
* [[Batman Gambit]]: Often used to explain how somebody came back from the dead.
* [[Big Screwed-Up Family]]
* [[Black Comedy Rape]] / [[Double Standard Rape (Female Onon Male)]] / [[Rape Asas Drama]]: When a crazed Julia kidnapped her ex-husband Jack, held him prisoner, and eventually forced him to have sex with her (she wanted to get pregnant to replace the baby she's miscarried), the scenes were initially played as dark comedy, something that would never have happened had the genders been reversed. However, the scenes took a much uglier tone when she tried to kill him afterwards, and when he later revealed what had happened to his fiancee, she reacted with horror and sympathy and never once blamed him or insinuated that he was a willing participant.
** When Vienna may have done this to Henry, it's [[Played for Laughs]].
* [[But Not Too Gay]]: Noah and Luke actually had a fan instituted countdown in between their kisses. They went 211 days in between two kisses and it took them 514 days from their first meeting to get their first love scene. This is unusual, particularly in the Soap Opera media where romance and love scenes happen frequently.
Line 41:
* [[Insufferable Genius]]: Reid
* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Reid fits this one to a T.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Reid.
* [[Karma Houdini]]: Craig.
* [[Kissing Discretion Shot]]: Mostly done concerning Luke and Noah.
Line 55:
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Lucinda
* [[Mama Bear]]: Lucinda, although she seems to handle things better when her grandchildren are involved rather than her children; many argue that Lily being so screwed up is due to Lucinda herself.
* [[Married to Thethe Job]]
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: Paul and Henry. Made all the more hilarious by the fact that they were in a lingerie store.
* [[Monochrome Casting]]: After Bonnie left the cast was all white.
Line 78:
* [[Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome]]
* [[Straight Gay]]
* [[Stalker Withwith a Crush]]: Craig toward Carly,
* [[Tangled Family Tree]]: Even by soap opera standards, the Snyder family is something to behold. One example: [[Super Couple]] Holden and Lily also uncle and niece because Lily is the daughter of Holden's adopted sister Iva, who was raped by an adopted Snyder cousin who later married Holden's bio sister Meg. Keep in mind there are six Snyder siblings.
* [[The Character Died Withwith Him]]: Chris Hughes(Sr.), Nancy Hughes, Hal Munson.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Some characters have been played by so many people the mind boggles.
* [[TV Genius]]: Reid
Line 89:
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Everybody has been called out for something at some point.
* [[Why Couldn't You Be Different?]]
* [[Lost Him in Aa Card Game|Won it Playing Cards]]: How Henry came into ownership of Al's Diner.
* [[You Fail Your Medical Boards Forever]]:
** Antibiotics are useless against a viral infection.
