-->'''Niles:''' ''[oh the phone with Fran]'' Miss Fine, you're telling me that you've taken a job on a soap, and you're not coming home? Well, of course I'm shocked. They gave you a speaking part?

* AsHimself: What with the Hollywood setting, there are quite a few celebrities appearing as themselves. Given the storyline, it's no surprise that most were cast members on ''The Young and the Restless'' at the time.

-->'''Fran:''' Let me ask you something, Heather, [[CastingCouch who did you have to]] -- I mean, ''what'' did you have to do to get this part?
* MistakenForProstitute: Variation. At the studio, Fran and Val are briefly mistaken for actresses playing hookers, and are complimented on their "costumes." Later, Fran is mistaken for a stripper.
-->'''Fran:''' First, they think I'm a hooker and now I'm a stripper. I'd better get this dress in every color.
* InadvertentEntranceCue: After Maxwell is once again clueless, Niles comments, "Oh God, is there a bigger buffoon in this world?" Cue C.C. bursting in the door.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall:
-->'''Fran:''' My God, they're here today, gone tomorrow. It's a reason not to be a sitcom star.
** And also:

* ShirtlessScene: Fran convinces Creator/ShemarMoore to pose shirtless for her and Val.
* ShoutOut: When Fran is selected to replace Heather:
-->'''Director:''' But Peter, who on earth are we gonna find who can take her place on such short notice?\\

'''Peter Bergman:''' ''[pointing]'' That girl!\\

** Later:
-->'''Niles:''' Miss Fine has taken a job on a soap opera, and she's not coming home.\\
'''Maxwell:''' What? A speaking part?
