Added DiffLines:

* HappilyMarried: Joanna and Nick, although Laura often tempts his and tries to seduce him.


Added DiffLines:

* NiceGirl: Joanna, Kate, and Beth are all sweet (if not a little naive) women in the cutthroat world of L.A.
* NiceGuy: Nick, and of the men on the show, he seems to be the only [[TokenGoodTeammate morally sound and decent one.]]
* ParentalSubstitute: Joanna and Nick are this to her kid sister Rachel, who are more understanding than their own mother. [[spoiler: We later learn that she's actually her mother and he's essentially her stepfather.]]
* ReallyGetsAround: Laura, who attempts to seduce and sleep with whomever she wants so often, be it neighbors, clients, or [[SleepingWithTheBoss her bosses]], that you wonder if she's a prostitute instead of a real estate agent.
* RemarriedToTheMistress: After [[spoiler:Kate ends up leaving L.A., Robert proposes marriage to his mistress Jessica, opting to marry once their divorce is final.]]
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: Subverted with Cory. In spite of his flashy lifestyle as a Los Angeles plastic surgeon, he's cash poor and continually broke. Having a gambling problem to boot probably doesn't help matters, either.
