1	* HeartwarmingInHindsight: Jodi Balfour's WordOfSaintPaul that Gladys is unbothered by Betty being a lesbian takes on a much more poignant meaning in light of Jodi's own coming out in 2021.
2	* HollywoodHomely: Despite her disfigurement, Vera still looks quite beautiful.
3	%%* JerkassWoobie: Eugene Corbett.
4	* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Betty is one half of the most popular fan pairing, Betty/Kate (known as [=McAndrews=]), but fans also ship her with Gladys ([=McWitham=]), Teresa the bond tour soldier ([=McBond=]) and Reggie.
5	* LesYay:
6	** Canonically established between Betty and Sergeant Teresa Hill.
7	** Betty and Kate. There's also a good deal of [[ShipTease subtext]] between Kate and Gladys. There's some subtext between Betty and Gladys as well. Strengthened by the fact that Gladys knows Betty is gay and doesn't care one bit, as opposed to Kate.
8	* MoralEventHorizon: Lorna experiences one of these after her husband comes to watch her give a speech. She then stops her affair with [[spoiler: Marco]]. Then there's her setting up Gladys to get fired in episode 6.
9	%%* NightmareFuel: Vera's accident in the pilot.
10	* PortmanteauCoupleName: Used primarily where [[LauncherOfAThousandShips Betty is one half of the ship]]: [=McAndrews=] (Betty/Kate), [=McBond=] (Betty/Teresa), and [=McWitham=] (Betty/Gladys).
11	* TheWoobie:
12	** Edith. Within the first two episodes, she lost her husband in the war and lost her job because she was so upset. She was unable to tell her children what had happened to their father, fearing what their reaction would be and worried about how she would feed her children.
13	** Kate, who is so afraid of her father she ran away and adopted a false identity. She still had frequent nightmares and made absolutely sure her door was locked. She was almost raped and had to model for "pornographic" photos to keep her job. [[OhCrap Then her father showed up in the season finale while everyone else was out.]]
14	** Vera after her accident.
