* CoolUncle: He dotes on his nephew Hugo and treats him to fancy, expensive things, from shrimp cocktails to flights on the private jet.

* TotallyRadical: In the present day he tries to impress Hugo with the phrase "bye Felicia", only for his nephew to say that nobody says that anymore.

* AlliterativeName: A celebrity who will gleefully say her catchy full name, Diane Davies.
* LargeHam: Diane is naturally bombastic and flamboyant.
* WhiteDwarfStarlet: Diane will not hesitate to bring up her glory days as a soap actress at every opportunity. When a magazine director describes her as a "C-list actress turned A-list hotelier", she latches on the "A-list hotelier" description and ignores the former. It is later elaborated that part of the reason she left Hollywood was to escape the scandal of being a single mom in the 80s, and she doesn't regret her decision even if she misses the limelight somewhat.

* UpperClassTwit: Chad prefers to coast on his privilege rather than exert real effort at his managerial job (that [[{{Nepotism}} his mother got him]]). It even becomes an object of concern for Diane, who points out late in the first season that while she clawed her way up to the top, Chad was born at the top and is just floating.
