Amended my Fridge Brilliance example for clarity


* FridgeBrilliance: For the greater part of the first two seasons, we are lead to believe that [[spoiler:Rebecca is the illegitimate daughter of William Walker and his mistress, Holly. However, Holly and William both have blue eyes whereas Rebecca has brown eyes, making them both being her biological parents near genetically impossible. This makes the reveal that Rebecca's father is actually David- who also has brown eyes- far more reasonable.]]

But in Season 5, it's revealed that [[spoiler:Sarah was actually fathered by Nora's previous boyfriend Brody. Nora's "food poisoning" was most likely just morning sickness from her already being pregnant with Sarah.]]

Added DiffLines:

* AndYouThoughtItWouldFail: The show had poor buzz after the pilot was totally reshot with several characters rewriten and recast. Early reviews were also rough so few gave it much of a chance. Instead, it overcame a rough start to blossom into a critically acclaimed hit.

* TheScrappy: Ryan Lafferty. Introduced as a replacement illegitimate child of William when the producers decided that Justin and Rebecca had better chemistry as lovers than as siblings. By that far into the show's run however the continued need for an illegitimate child in the storyline was questionable and Ryan never really managed to become relevant as a character.
