* CoolBigSis: Paige is this to Corky
* DarkerAndEdgier / ToneShift: Over the course of the four seasons, the show shifted from being a reasonably light-hearted family drama focusing on Corky to a rather angsty romantic drama between Jesse and Becca. The [[SoundtrackDissonance peppy opening song remains the same, however]], which is jarring particularly in the episodes with a dark or upsetting opening scene.
** A season 3 episode called "Armageddon" has Drew and Libby fighting a lot over stupid, minor things. At one point they get into a heated argument that leads to Libby hitting Drew, which was a shock after seeing them happy for so long and having just had a baby boy. (Worth noting that [[RealitySubtext Patti [=LuPone=] and Bill Smitrovitch hated each other by this time]].)
* DeadGuyJunior: The finale reveals in a FlashForward that following [[spoiler:Jesse's]] death from AIDS, [[spoiler: Becca eventually marries a man named David and their son is named Jesse.]]

* RunawayBride: At the altar, Paige asks her fiance if he really loves her. He swears that he does, but admits that they're not right for each other. With his blessing, she goes dashing down the aisle to reunite with her true love. . .
** Then in the next season, it's revealed that she pulled this trope ''again'' by running out on the other guy when they had no plan for anything, leading them to fight constantly and eventually split.

* SurvivorGuilt: Becca has this after Tyler dies, feeling that if [[ForWantOfANail she hadn't kicked him out of her party, he'd wouldn't have been in the accident]]. Jesse gently but firmly tries to snap her out of it, reminding her that he was drunk and being belligerent and that she had every right to ask him to leave.
