* HeReallyCanAct: LAD goes full-on William Shatner as Olivia. But when she brings it down a notch, she can convey more with a raised eyebrow than most actors can with pages of dialogue. It's just too bad that, like Sarah Buxton and Sam Behres, these guys really didn't have the best careers.

** Mark Wolper's patently absurd death scene. ''People cried''. [[spoiler:What made it rather tragic is that Mark deserved to die least of all, and certainty not at the hands of his surrogate father (or so he appeared at the time), thus depriving Sunset Beach of one of its few heroes]]. If Casey, say, had died then nobody would have given a toss.
** Bette mourning the apparent passing of Annie. As scripted, it is a moving scene and well-played by Kathleen Noone--but then it starts to run on long, with the [[DeathIsDramatic dramatic drop to the knees]], [[MilkingTheGiantCow clenched fists]] and [[SkywardScream tribal yell]] conveying, ''quite'' loudly, the depth of despair Aunt Bette is feeling. "DIDJA KNOW ANNIE? DIDJA KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!??" You don't know whether to laugh out loud or cry, which is the entire show in a nutshell.

* AwesomeEgo: Not only is Gregory contemptuous of the police force, he's a proud elitist to boot. All things being equal though, he's a master at his trade. Also, as a young man he was apparently some kind of prodigy who made a fortune as a defense lawyer, formed his own land development company, and currently owns the biggest house in Sunset Beach (1 Ocean Drive), along with much of the town. Anyone would develop an ego.
* ClicheStorm: Every horror movie convention in the book:
** A romantic picnic in a cold, dark, damp, foggy swamp. Lovely. (''Terror Island'')
** On his first trip to [[spoiler:Derek]]'s deserted lair, Ben takes a minute to ponder about which soap plot he's in (zombie? ghost? split personality?).

* AnchoredShip: For many fans, the conclusion to Gabi/Antonio came off as kind of a shock. All through the show, even till the last few episodes, they were hinting towards the fact that they are each other's destiny, future, etc. (Carmen's 'DESTINY' poster falling on them at the Career fair!)
** In an interview with Nick Kiriazis who played Antonio, he explained that when he initially came on the show, the producers told him he wasn't going to be a priest for very long. But they kept prolonging the sexual tension every few months. Best guess: before the cancellation they were definitely planning on having Antonio leave the priesthood and eventually get with Gabi.

Perhaps worst of all, Ricardo couldn't forgive Paula for not having his back during the rape trial.
