* CreatorsOddball: Most of Creator/QuentinTarantino's acting roles have him starring in his own films or in movies made by his close friends (particularly Creator/RobertRodriguez), usually being horrifically killed midway through. Him showing up in an ABC SpyFiction show as a reoccuring guest star who works for one of the big organizations the protagonist faces very much outside his wheelhouse.

* FakeNationality: Creator/JulianSark is initially believed to be British because of his accent, although Marshal deduces that his accent is actually Irish-influenced British. It's eventually discovered that Sark is Russian-born, but was educated in the UK and spent a lot of time in Ireland. His real nationality is never confirmed, but other characters assume he's British on several occasions. The actor playing him is American and in one episode, when Sark fakes being American, the actor gets to use his real, very broad, American accent.

* GayPanic: The original plan was to end the relationship between Francie and Charlie by having Charlie reveal that he's realized he's gay. This was changed to him having a heterosexual affair with little warning. In the last season, it certainly seems from Rachel's pointed statement that Tom isn't her type that she was intended to be gay, but quickly hooks up with Sark.

Brazilian.



* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Vaughn's long absence in Season 5 is because Michael Vartan and Jennifer Garner had hooked up for real and then broken up during their time on the show, and he wasn't comfortable acting like she was carrying his baby onscreen when it was really Ben Affleck's.



* StuntDouble: In addition to playing Kelly Peyton, Creator/ZoeBell doubled for Creator/AmyAcker.



** Creator/RogerMoore's role as Edward Poole was originally planned to be recurring, but Moore and the producers couldn't agree on his salary so the character was killed offscreen a couple episodes after his first appearance.

* DivorcedInstallment: The show was born from [[https://www.indiewire.com/2018/09/felicity-creator-matt-reeves-jj-abrams-alias-1202007443/ an idea]] that Abrams had for a PlotTwist on ''Series/{{Felicity}}'' in which it turned out that that show's title character was a CIA agent all along, as he felt that ''Felicity'' was in a creative rut and was wondering where to take it next. He decided to flesh out that idea into a TV pilot of its own.
