Go To

1* ActorAllusion: When Narcisse offers to teach Lola archery, actress Creator/AnnaPopplewell doesn't even ''pretend'' to not know exactly what she's doing with a bow, leaving us with a scene in which [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Haldir]] tries to give [[Film/TheChroniclesOfNarnia Queen Susan the Gentle]] some tips.
2* DawsonCasting:
3** Mary's supposed to be in her late teens. [[Creator/AdelaideKane Her actress]] was 24-27 while filming the series.
4** WordOfGod says Francis is supposed to be in his mid teens. The actor was 23-25 while filming the series.
5* FakeNationality:
6** Lord Castleroy is French. His actor, Michael Therriault is from Oakville, Ontario.
7** Stéphane Narcisse is also French, while Craig Parker is from New Zealand.
8** Both Creator/AdelaideKane and Creator/CaitlinStasey are Australian.
9** Queen Elizabeth of England is played by Canadian Creator/RachelSkarsten.
10* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The pilot episode became notorious for a scene that involved a supporting female character and masturbation. The scene in question was edited down by The CW prior to broadcast to be less explicit, to much media controversy. When the time came to release Season 1 on DVD, although an "online version" of a later episode - featuring a more explicit sex scene than broadcast - was included, the original version of the pilot wasn't released. Nor was it included in the later "complete series" edition, and there is no indication that any international broadcast featured the uncut episode. However, as noted by reviewers, the version of the pilot circulated to media ''did'' contain the complete scene, so copies of the original episode are in limited circulation.
11* RealLifeRelative:
12** Creator/MeganFollows's daughter Lyla guest starred as Greer's sister Ellen during the third season.
13 **The child Greer carried for most her time onscreen of season 3 was obviously Celina Siden's own.
14* RomanceOnTheSet: The most noticeable example is between Rossif Sutherland (Nostredame) and Celina Siden (Greer), who fell in love, got married, and have a son together.
15* WrittenInInfirmity: Greer's pregnancy was written because of Celina Siden's own pregnancy.
16* YoungerThanTheyLook: The show's mostly teenaged audience were quite disparaging towards Lord Castleroy and Lord Narcisse, calling them "old men". Amusingly, Michael Therriault (Castleroy) was 39 in his first appearance, while Craig Parker (Narcisse) was 43 - not quite the greybeards they were made out to be.
